Introducing the Washington Commanders
After playing their last two seasons without an actual name, Washington, D.C.'s NFL franchise delivered as promised and announced a new name for their team: the Commanders. The name was announced early on February 2, 2022, though it was leaked on social media on the day before. "Commanders" had been a finalist in name choices from the start, with other suggestions including "Red Hogs" and "Admirals." It was a very long road to get to this point, but before I give my thoughts on the new name, I have to detail the history, as ugly as it is.

Villainess Review: Mandy Bronson (Monk)
Hard to believe that this summer will mark the 20th anniversary of Monk, the long-running hit USA Network series that starred Tony Shalhoub as the titular Adrian Monk, a former police detective turned consultant--with an immense amount of phobias. I love this show immensely, it's an amazing series, it's made me a fan of Tony Shalhoub and his various co-stars (including Jason Gray-Stanford, who's done a few Lifetime films), and the show has featured an impressive group of villainesses, and I've written reviews about a few of them.

My Hopes for WWE's Women's Division on the Road to WrestleMania 38
We are officially on the road to WrestleMania, but this diehard women's wrestling fan is left wondering what roles WWE's Women's Division will have at the grand stage. For the third straight year, WrestleMania will be a two-night event, as WrestleMania 38 will take place on April 2 and 3. The grand event being two nights long allows WWE to put together a true supercard, and I think there are many possibilities for the women. WWE's main roster has three championships in their Women's Division: the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships, as well as the Women's Tag Team Championship, with the current iteration having now existed for three years.

Conference Championship Recap: Down to the Wire
I always enjoy the Conference Championships, because this is it. It's the final step before the Super Bowl. The winners go on to the big dance, while the defeated lament about coming so, so close to the ultimate goal. For Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, the fact that they got this far was improbable, yet there they were, at Arrowhead, the AFC's current impenetrable fortress. Even with the Bengals' amazing run, many figured that the proverbial clock would strike midnight on this day. After all, these are the Kansas City Chiefs. Their QB is Patrick Mahomes. Their star receiver is Tyreek Hill. They have the #1 tight end in the league in Travis Kelce. And with KC leading 21-3, it looked like the Chiefs were on their way to their third straight Super Bowl.

Reviewing the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble
Hard to believe, but this year marked the fifth Women's Royal Rumble Match in WWE, and it was quite interesting and very amazing. The phenomenon that started in 2018 took place in WWE's 35th annual Royal Rumble event in St. Louis, and similar to the men's match, 30 women competed for the ultimate goal: a championship opportunity at the grand stage known as WrestleMania. Past winners included Asuka, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Bianca Belair, and tonight, one more woman joined that list. First off, the notable moments.

An Avalanche of Goals and Wins
I have been a fan of the Colorado Avalanche since the team's final two seasons as the Quebec Nordiques. Since the move, the Avalanche have won two Stanley Cups, but it has been a long road back to the prominence this team had back in the late 1990s/early 2000s. The resurrection surprisingly began with a three team trade on November 5, 2017, and just like that, the Avalanche became a playoff team. Here it is, barely over four years later, and now, I am happy to say, the Avalanche we remember from yesteryear, are back.

Batwoman: Reviewing the Conclusion of the "Poison" Arc
The previous episode, "Meet Your Maker," ended with Poison Mary finally meeting the woman who created her, Pamela Isley, who used some of Mary's power to increase hers. The brief encounter would become a true alliance in the following episode, "Toxic," saw the Poisons entrap a prominent doctor in the vines, with Mary believing that her gift is being used to even the playing field and deliver justice--though, as we all know, that's what Pam is making her believe. As we learned in the previews last week, Pam had resurrected her plan from 10 years prior to destroy the Gotham Dam, with the added revelation that the dam was among the many causes of the contaminated water that killed Pam's brother as a child.

The Cabin
Jessica Walcott was living a life that she had dreamed of; she was married to Stephen Walcott and had been for a year. For Jessica, it was an amazing life with a man she had fancied for quite some time, but for Stephen, it was a second trip down the aisle--following the sudden disappearance of his first wife, Fiona, during a camping trip two years prior. Jessica served as a means of support for Stephen in the time that passed following Fiona's disappearance, but as time went by, hope for Fiona's discovery decreased, but the sudden feelings between Stephen and Jessica suddenly increased.

Is It Time for a Change to NFL Overtime?
The thrilling AFC Divisional Playoff between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs ended up going to overtime tied at 36, due to Patrick Mahomes leading KC to field goal range with little time left. After Harrison Butker made the game-tying kick, KC won the coin toss, and their drive ended with a Travis Kelce touchdown that ended the game and sent the Chiefs to the AFC Championship. Josh Allen and the Bills never saw the ball in overtime, a fate that has befallen several teams who have lost overtime games (regular season and playoffs) played since this current rule was established in 2010.

Recapping the 1st Half of the Seattle Kraken's Inaugural Season
There was a lot of buzz and hype around the National Hockey League's 32nd franchise, even before the team found their new home. The buzz increased when it was officially announced that team #32 would play in Seattle, and the progression of the countdown to Seattle's debut included a new arena, jerseys, and the official name: Kraken. The Seattle Kraken made their anticipated debut this season, and they have played 41 games--putting them halfway into their inaugural season.

Divisional Playoff Recap: The End of the Road?. Top Story - January 2022.
I do enjoy the Divisional Playoff round for three reasons. One, it's the last taste of Saturday football in the NFL season. Two, the bye week teams began their playoff road, and three, it's the final step before the home stretch in this destination. The NFL's Elite Eight kicked off in Nashville, as the top-ranked Tennessee Titans hosted the Cincinnati Bengals, but it started of badly for the Titans, as Ryan Tannehill threw an interception seven seconds into the game! The Bengals ended up with a field goal off that turnover, and a second field goal made it 6-0, however, Derrick Henry (who was playing his first game since Halloween) ran it in to the end zone to tie the game, but his two-point attempt fell short. I swear, Mike Vrabel is the only coach who is more obsessed with two-pointers than John Harbaugh is.

Batwoman: Double Your Poison
The previous week's chapter of Batwoman's Poison Ivy storyline ended with Pamela Isley (OG Poison Ivy) revived and freed by the very woman who still carried a torch for her, Renee Montoya. As it turned out, Renee's use of Batwoman for her secret mission was all done so she could find Pam and release her from the desiccated state that Renee herself put her in a decade prior. In this episode, the aptly titled, "Meet Your Maker," we see Pam emerge from a pond, where she takes down a pair of fishermen, but she is still not at 100%, as far as her power is concerned.
