The Looney "Tortoise and Hare" Trilogy
In sports, there have been quite a few rivalries, and quite a few of them have been mostly one sided. The Green Bay Packers have owned the Chicago Bears in the last 20 years. The New York Yankees have owned the Boston Red Sox for much, much longer than that. The Denver Nuggets have been living rent free in the heads of the Los Angeles Lakers in the last two years, and of course, the Boston Bruins always seem to have the Toronto Maple Leafs' number when it counts the most.

Stanley Cup Final Game One: What About Bob?
Behold, the Stanley Cup Final has arrived! It's been six days since the last time the puck dropped, and that was in Edmonton for Game Six of the Western Conference Final. The Edmonton Oilers have had five off days to drink in the fact that they were in the Cup Final for the first time in 18 years, while the Florida Panthers had six off days to bask in the glory of being in the Final for the second straight year. This is the fifth straight Final to feature two teams who had never met in such a setting before, and regarding the stakes, the Panthers have another chance to win their first Stanley Cup, while the Edmonton Oilers are looking to win their sixth Stanley Cup, their first since 1990, and Canada's first since 1993.

Finals Game One: Boston Baked Blowout
The NBA Finals is here, folks! I do love the NBA Finals, because similar to the NHL's Stanley Cup Final, it's the finale of an amazing journey that includes 16 teams--well, technically 20 if you count the play-in games. One thing I'm trying to get used to is the fact that the NBA Finals actually starts before the Cup Final; it had been the other way around for a long time. Nevertheless, the NBA Finals is here, and this year, it's the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks battling for the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

The Rookie: Blair London's Not-So-Surprising Heel Turn
Last night was a perfect sports night for me; those are rare, but it happened. First off, the New York Yankees obliterated the Houston Astros on national TV. Then, later in the evening, the Colorado Avalanche won Game One of the Central Division Final over the Dallas Stars in comeback fashion, trailing 3-0 and winning 4-3 in overtime! So I was already in happiness overload, but I figured there would be more to come even after all of that.

Villainess Review: Dr. Vanessa Holmes (Elsbeth)
I remember learning some time ago about a spinoff series to the long-running CBS series, The Good Wife, coming out, and it was at the end of 2023 that I first saw promos for said spinoff: Elsbeth. The series is actually the second spinoff of The Good Wife, with the first being The Good Fight, and regarding this one, it centers on Carrie Preston's character, Elsbeth Tascioni, the Chicago-based defense attorney who now works alongside the NYPD as a defacto detective. The series premiered on Leap Day 2024, and I remember that the promo for the premiere episode revealed that it was a True Blood reunion, as the episode guest starred Stephen Moyer (both Moyer and Preston played on the hit HBO series).

The Story is Complete
You always remember your first, and this one is simply unforgettable. It can be said that this was nearly two years in the making, ever since Cody Rhodes returned to WWE. It can also be said that this was at least a decade and a half in the making, ever since Cody's WWE career began. I think Cody Rhodes himself would have said that this dream started long before he was even born.

So...How Will the Edmonton Oilers Blow it THIS TIME?!
OK, Oilers, you made it to the playoffs. So how will you fuck it up this time? I want to explain something about myself as a hockey fan. I don't hate the Edmonton Oilers. I'm a fan of Connor McDavid. However, I absolutely despise Oilers fans.

Avalanche Game 77 Recap: Respect Gorgeous George
We need to show Alexandar Georgiev more respect. The man's leading the league in wins...for the second straight year. He was an All-Star this season. So can we please stop pretending that Georgiev's the problem when he's actually been bailing us out?

Lightning Clinch, but Has Their Window Closed?
Similar to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Tampa Bay Lightning were idol on Friday, but could clinch a playoff spot. The one difference, albeit a small one, was that while Toronto needed only two of the following three teams--Detroit, Philly, and Washington, to lose, and regulation wouldn't be mandated in some cases, Tampa Bay needed all three teams to lose in regulation, because the Eastern Conference's Wild Card picture is so muddled.

What Will the Toronto Maple Leafs Do for an Encore?
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had chances to clinch this season, but came up short. Their latest attempt was on Wednesday, when all they needed was a point, but the Tampa Bay Lightning won, 3-1. The Leafs were idle on this night, but they could clinch with help from outside. Basically, they needed any two of the three teams to lose: the Detroit Red Wings, the Philadelphia Flyers, and the Washington Capitals. All three did end up losing, and in regulation, too. The Flyers lost first, and Detroit fell second, and that ended up being enough to send the Leafs back to the playoffs.

Jets Take Off to the Playoffs
A packed Thursday night of NHL action only saw one team with the opportunity to lock up a playoff spot. That team was the Winnipeg Jets, and their destiny was in full control. A win would do it. If not, just one point and the Blues losing would get it done. Or a Blues regulation loss and a Wild loss would also get the job done. The schedule was interesting, as there were Eastern Conference games and Western Conference games, and and the three games connected to the scenario all played at the same time: Flames @ Jets, Avalanche @ Wild, and Blues @ Predators.

Avalanche Game 76 Recap: A Wild Thursday
Boy, do I hate the Minnesota Wild. I mean, you can't blame me for hating the Wild. After all, they are the Colorado Avalanche's longest tenured division rival. No lie there, folks. While the Battle of Quebec (Nordiques/Canadiens) only lasted 16 years, and was a division rivalry for only 14 of those years, the Wild and the Avalanche have been division rivals since 2000. Whether it's the Northwest Division, the current Central Division, or even the localized West Division from the COVID-affected 2020-21 season, we just can't get away from the Minnesota Wild.
