A Green and Gold Christmas (NFC Week 17)
Similar to the AFC, the National Football Conference could see everything completed before the regular season ends. It's been quite chaotic in the NFC; teams who are usually not in it are suddenly deep in the picture. Scenarios are insane and wild in the NFC, it's been that way in the conference for a long time, and this year is no exception. Out of the seven spots in the NFC, five of them are locked in, leaving two remaining and three divisions up for grabs.

Nevermore? (AFC Week 17)
We are now down to the final two weeks of the NFL regular season. It's gut check time, folks! Week 17 was the final week until an 18th week became a permanent staple in 2021, but even so, it's still highly important. It can be a last chance for teams trying to get what they want, whether it's the #1 seed, a division title, or just getting into the dance. Also, Week 17 means the end in Fantasy Football, because it's championship time. I love the penultimate week, especially since 2010, when they made the final week all division games and they were scheduled right after the penultimate week's SNF game ended. The penultimate week set the stage for the final week, and it dictates what games go where, and what matchup will serve as the 272nd and final game of the season.

NFL Week 16 Recap: Stocking Stuffers
It's always fun when the NFL gets into holiday spirit. We already saw it in the Thursday and Saturday games from Week 16, with one team clinching, another winning their division, and a third moving closer. 12 games remained in the antepenultimate week, and the top game for me was Steelers/Lions, because it was possibly Aaron Rodgers' last visit to Ford Field in his career.

Quadrilogy of Dominance
Christmas is closing in, but for myself and other Colorado Avalanche fans, it's been Christmas game in and game out! The Avalanche's strong season continued with three more games to the schedule, coming after a road trip that saw the Avs go 2-1-1.

Week 16 NFC Thursday & Saturday Recap: Shaping Up and Shipping Out
Week 16 begins that do-or-die period of the NFL season; the period where many teams are running out of time for the most important things. It's also the first taste of Saturday NFL action, but before we get to that, we have to start from the beginning of the week. Thursday Night Football was a battle in the NFC West between the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks, who entered the contest tied for not only first place in the division, but also first place in the conference.

Looney Tunes Review: "Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century"
As a kid, you think of cartoons as being wholly comedic, but as you get older, you see more depth into your favorite cartoon shorts. Yes, the comedy's there, but there's also action, there's drama, and in some cases, tragedy. Chuck Jones had a knack for being well-rounded with his creations. His cartoons spanned a number of different genres, but the comedy is often there. One such short of Jones' that stood out among many others: the heavily acclaimed Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century.

At Least You Have Hockey Again, Detroit? (NFC Week 16)
It's always the National Football Conference that has more insanity than the American Football Conference, isn't it? I am speaking as a Packers fan who has seen us involved in the most insane scenarios, while also benefitting from them at times, but even if I was a fan of an AFC team, I'd say this. The AFC scenarios for Week 16 are wild, but the ones for the NFC are borderline psychotic.

Rocky Mountain High (AFC Week 16)
I figured this would happen. Week 15 saw three teams with a chance to clinch spots. Two of them did. Because that was the first week to have actual clinching scenarios, and also because 13 teams have been officially eliminated already, guess what? We have a lot of scenarios in Week 16. Nine teams can clinch spots this week! Nine! And for those who know my writing on Vocal, you know what that means. Split stories by conference this week.

NFL Week 15 Recap: Tickets Punched
The NFL fandom celebrated one big elimination this week, but under that headline was something more positive: the first clinching scenarios of the season. Two teams had "win and in" scenarios, and one of them was the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams hosted the Detroit Lions, serving as the "Game of the Week" during the late window. I figured that this game would deliver big time; the Lions and Rams both have strong offenses, and it showed.

Thank You, John Cena. Top Story - December 2025.
When December 13, 2025 arrived, I welcomed it. I welcomed it with open arms. The reason was simple: I wanted to see how John Felix Anthony Cena, Jr, someone who I've been a fan of for over 20 years, would end his iconic and legendary career.

What Went Wrong: Sic Semper Tyrannis
It happened. It actually, by God, happened. When an insufferable entity is taken down in sports, fans who have hate-watched said entity go through a number of stages. Denial's usually the first one, and it's not the "That didn't happen" denial, it's usually the "Is it real?" denial. Then comes the acceptance, and finally, the joy. The immense, immense joy. We've seen many instances of this in sports over the years, but this one clearly has to top a lot of them. And I'm speaking as a Yankees fan who enjoyed the news that the Houston Astros were eliminated.

The REAL Great Eight
The Colorado Avalanche's four game road trip was quite interesting, to say the least. The trip started in NYC, with games against the Islanders and Rangers. The Isles were first, and they did something no one else had done all season: they took it to the Avalanche. The Avs were soundly defeated, 6-3, the first time we lost by more than one goal, and our second regulation loss all season. As the saying goes, it's how you respond to these fallbacks that makes the difference, and we responded with a clutch overtime win at MSG.
