CFL Week 15 Recap: A Puncher's Chance
You know the old saying: time flies when you're enjoying a version of football that has all sorts of amazing perks. The home stretch of the season, the final seven weeks, the last one-third, has arrived, and for one team, everything could be settled and determined in just one fell swoop. The Toronto Argonauts locked in a playoff spot a week prior, and regarding Week 15, they were one win away from locking up first place in the East Division. All they had to do was defeat the Montréal Alouettes yet again, but it looked a bit iffy for the Boatmen.

Becky Lynch's Road to the Grand Slam
In every wrestling promotion, the Grand Slam Championship honor is one of the most prestigious honors ever, because it involves winning every relevant championship in existence. Out of all of the promotions, World Wrestling Entertainment is the only one that has Grand Slam Championships for the men and the women, and regarding the latter, the Women's Grand Slam (established in 2019) consists of the Raw Women's Championship (now known as the Women's World Championship), the SmackDown Women's Championship (now known as the WWE Women's Championship), the NXT Women's Championship, and the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

NFL Week 2 Recap: Plan B
What now? Those two words had to have been repeated on a loop by fans of the New York Jets after Monday's season opener. The Jets, their fans, and every football fan (myself included and especially)--all of us were eagerly wondering how the Jets would fare with Aaron Rodgers as their QB. After months of anticipation, Rodgers made his Jets debut on the Monday Night Football opener, had four plays...and then the injury happened. That was a shocking blow to the Jets and their fans, as Rodgers ended up in the tent and later carted off. Out for the rest of the game. The Jets had to persevere with Zach Wilson at QB, and for that night, they did--winning in comeback fashion in overtime over the Buffalo Bills.

Reviewing a Pair of Sinister Villainesses from "One Night Stand Murder"
I had been looking forward to this film, One Night Stand Murder, for a few weeks since I learned about this movie being on Lifetime's list of September flicks. So after watching an intriguing Sunday Night Football matchup between the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots, I tuned in to this film, which started with the central protagonist, Alyssa Morgan, suddenly waking up next to a corpse, and with no memory of how she got there.

MLB Pennant Race 2023: The Junior Circuit's 1st Spots are Clinched
I can't believe it. I truly can't believe it. With Sunday's matchups done, the 2023 MLB season has just two weeks left. It shows that even a season as long and grueling as baseball can fly by at the drop of a hat; it seemed like yesterday that the season started. This week saw the Braves and Dodgers lock in their divisions, but it also saw two more teams join the postseason party.

Dodgers Capture NL West, but What's Next?
The Los Angeles Dodgers entered their Saturday game against the Seattle Mariners with two ways to clinch the National League West. One way was a win and one San Francisco Giants loss (the Giants were playing a doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies). A second route had the Giants losing both games of the doubleheader, and the Arizona Diamondbacks losing to the Chicago Cubs. The Giants did lose Game One of their doubleheader, meaning that all the Dodgers needed was a win. This was followed by the Giants losing the second game as well, while Arizona's game was back and forth and needed extra innings.

Reviewing Queen Latifah's Brief Heel Turn in "The Equalizer"
I love The Equalizer with a passion. Haven't seen the original series, but I've seen the Denzel Washington movies--I know his third one is out now, and I've been watching Queen Latifah's version since Day One, which came after CBS' telecast of Super Bowl LV. Since then, it's been a habitual occurrence every Sunday--I never miss an episode. I am anxiously awaiting for Season Four, I know a fourth season is coming, but I do not know what impact the ongoing strike will have on the fourth season. With all of that said, Season Three definitely had its moments, with the best one airing just one day after my (and series star Queen Latifah's) birthday.

NFL Week 1 Recap: A New York MinuteTop Story - September 2023
The NFL is back, and this fan was ever so eager for the season to start. My reasons were simple. One, I had a good feeling about Fantasy Football this year, and two, I'm a Yankees fan who wants to forget about this disaster of a season. With every new NFL season comes new storylines and new questions, and one of the biggest new storylines of the debuting 2023 NFL season had to be Aaron Rodgers making his New York Jets debut on Monday Night Football.

John Ritter: Iconic Legend
20 years ago today, the world became a lot less bright. It was on September 11, 2003 that John Ritter passed away, and I remember how stunned I was when I heard the news that morning. I've been watching John Ritter since I was six years old, and yes, it was Three's Company. Like clockwork, when it was 6:00, I tuned into Three's Company, which had been in reruns by the time I entered this world.

Braves 1st to Clinch 2023 Postseason Spot
One thing that always fascinates me is the fact that Major League Baseball refers to their playoffs as the "Postseason." The other three main leagues use "playoffs," but baseball promotes the "Postseason." They are both one in the same, but still, I just love how baseball uses "Postseason," because it is a season--a brief season that takes place after the regular season ends. The length varies depending on the format and the league, though in the case of baseball, the Postseason lasts just over a month. For the second straight year, 12 teams are part of this entertaining madness, and on September 10, 2023, the first of the 12 teams locked in a spot in this year's Postseason.

CFL Week 14 Recap: Win and In
The CFL is coming off a wild Labour Day Weekend of games, and it looked like Week 14 was set to duplicate the excitement we received a week prior. Similar to the previous week, there were clinching scenarios, but this time, two teams can get into this year's playoffs. One of the two teams: none other than the defending Grey Cup Champions, the Toronto Argonauts. The scenario was simple, win and in. That's it. It's always nice to have that scenario, isn't it?
