Villainess Review: Ann Merriweather & Virginia Grant (Thriller)
The late 1950s-early 1960s featured quite a trend on TV: horror/suspense anthology series. It was the period that gave us the original Twilight Zone, as well as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but the show that I'm focusing on in this review is the underrated series, Thriller. I had been familiar with the show, it popped up in reruns on all sorts of channels, but I didn't actually watch this show until two years ago--August 2020, to be exact. The pandemic was at its highest peak, and the sports pause allowed me to watch a lot of other things, including doing some binge watching. Among the number of shows I did enjoy watching was Thriller, which aired for two seasons between 1960 and 1962.

A Stocking Stuffer of Playoff Scenarios (Week 16)
Week 15 was absolutely chaotic, but we fans haven't seen anything yet! Three weeks remain in the NFL season, and we are now in the holiday stage, and that's where so much can happen. In the case of Week 16, it's the NFL's Christmas Week, and in the spirit of giving, a lot of playoff spots can be given out, while other teams could end up with coal in their stockings. As the iconic Gladys Knight once sang, "Let's get down to the real nitty-gritty."

NFL Week 15 Recap: So You're Telling Me There's a Chance
For the last few weeks, I semi-lamented over Week 15's Monday Night matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Green Bay Packers. The reason was simple: when the schedule makers plan the Monday games, they pick out the biggest marquee matchups for the early months, and as for the December games, they pick out the ones they figure would be highly important. Regarding this game, this was set figuring that the Packers and the Rams would be jockeying for position, even the #1 seed.

Could the Jacksonville Jaguars Win the AFC South?
In 2017, the Jacksonville Jaguars were on a huge high. It was their first full season under head coach Doug Marrone, and that year saw the Jags finish 10-6 and capture the AFC South. What followed was quite a magical run, something that hadn't been seen since 1996, their second season in the league. The Jags defeated the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card, and trounced the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional Playoff to reach the AFC Championship for the first time since that aforementioned sophomore season. They had a lead late against the New England Patriots, but it got away from them, and Jacksonville still has to wait for their first-ever Super Bowl appearance.

It Was 33-0: Vikings Clinch NFC North in Historic Fashion
For the Minnesota Vikings, they had another chance to clinch the NFC North, and this was the second time that they had the always favorable "win and in" scenario. Two weeks prior, they needed a win and a Detroit Lions loss; the Vikings did their part, but the Lions also won. Last week, all the Vikings had to do was defeat the Lions in Detroit, but that was not successful. So the Vikings had a third opportunity, and they were at home against an Indianapolis Colts team whose entire season was on life support. Sounds like easy pickings, right?

Villainess Review: Rose (Supernatural)
Season Eleven of Supernatural had quite a memorable storyline, and that's an understatement. Not only did it kick off what would be the final one-third of the series, but the season's centerpiece was The Darkness, which was released after Sam and Dean actually killed Death in the tenth season finale. Yes, you read that right. The Winchesters actually eliminated Death, and that led to The Darkness being released. So the brothers and their allies had a lot on their plate during the 2015-16 season, which I enjoyed watching every Wednesday night. Even with all of that, as we've seen in every season, we still had the "monster of the week" episodes, with one of them being "Red Meat."

800 and Counting: The Legendary Career of Alex Ovechkin
One of the major storylines in the NHL in the last few seasons has been Alex Ovechkin's road to goal-scoring immortality. Throughout his career, Ovechkin's received a pair of notable nicknames: "The Great Eight" and "Alexander the Great," both with plenty of merit. Ovechkin's stellar career began in the 2005 NHL Draft, yes, that draft. He was drafted by the Washington Capitals on the same year that some kid named Sidney Crosby was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins. That, alone, is epic.

Reviewing Roxanne Perez's Monumental Week
The end of the December 13, 2022 episode of WWE's NXT program cemented a spectacular year for Roxanne Perez. After competing in Reality of Wrestling and Ring of Honor (and winning titles in both), Roxanne Perez signed with WWE in March of 2022. Fast forward nine months, and Roxanne stands on top of NXT's Women's Division, doing so at the tender age of 21. Let's take a look at how Roxanne's amazing week progressed.

The Plot Thickens (Week 15)
Well, here it is. The last week before the holidays, and as usual, the scenarios are starting to pile up. I also love that Week 15 gives us the first Saturday games of the season; a long time ago, the NFL gave us four straight weeks of Saturday football: Week 16, Week 17, Wild Card Weekend, and the Divisional Playoff. Week 17 stopped doing the Saturday thing over a decade ago, and when the 18-week season began in 2021, the Saturday games now take place during three of the final four weeks of the regular season, as well as the aforementioned playoff rounds.

NFL Week 14 Recap: Mr. Irrelevant's Wild Ride
The San Francisco 49ers pulled off an amazing win last week, but it came at a high cost: losing Jimmy Garoppolo. Jimmy G ended up leaving the game early in the first quarter due to a foot injury, and the news broke that week that it was season ending. An update stated that Jimmy G could return for the playoffs, but now even that is doubtful. So with Jimmy G and Trey Lance out, who did the Niners turn to last week, and again this week? None other than Brock Purdy.

From Rags to Riches: A Look at the Rising NFC East
We all remember the 2020 NFL season very well, don't we? So many things stood out about that year, the main thing being that it was being played in the midst of a terrible pandemic. As for on the field, the most memorable thing about the 2020 NFL season? The NFC Least, I mean East. The National Football Conference's Eastern Division, which was a beastly division during my childhood, was an outright joke in 2020. The crazy thing, it seemed to be heading that way in 2019, but we did see .500 or better records that year. 2020 was a mess, as all four of the division's teams--the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the then-named Washington Football Team--all sucked.
