The AFC Playoff Picture is Shaping Up
I do love Saturday football; I have since I was a kid. We don't get NFL games on Saturday until nearly the end of the season, and that's because it's by that time that college football is out of the way. I remember at one point, we would see four straight weeks of Saturday football, counting playoffs, but this year, we are being treated to five straight Saturdays of NFL action--the final three weeks of the regular season, Super Wild Card Weekend, and the Divisional Playoff.

Trading Places
Amazing. When the Colorado Avalanche and the San Jose Sharks last faced each other, Alexandar Georgiev was with the former, and Mackenzie Blackwood was with the latter. Over a month later, the two goalies were swapped for each other, as Colorado was looking to solve our goaltender problems. Interestingly, these two goalies were not in net during the first meeting between the clubs this season. In this matchup, they were.

Northern Exposure
The Colorado Avalanche were coming off a very impressive win at home over the Nashville Predators, in what was Mackenzie Blackwood's Avs debut, but once again, we were back on the road. At least, this time, it's a three game trip, and it is in the West. Can't get any more West in this continental land mass than the Pacific Time Zone, and that's where the Avs would be for the next three games. The first of those three was a trip to the Canadian side of the Pacific Northwest, the city that hosted the 111th Grey Cup and this year's Survivor Series: Vancouver, British Columbia.

Life, Controlling Your Own Destiny, and Everything (NFC Week 16)
The National Football Conference continues to be the hot mess that it has been for the last few years. I still remember last year's final week, which saw two open spots up for grabs between teams who were either 8-8 or 7-9. It was wacky and wild, and this year could top that. I had to separate this week's piece by conference because the American Football Conference could have everything settled, and while the NFC can still leave things unsolved even at the final week, it's still worth a look see.

All Wrapped Up in a Neat Little Package?! (AFC Week 16)
We are now entering the final three weeks of the 2024 NFL season, and it's wild. It's always very wild during Week 16, which is normally a Christmas week, but the calendar's makeup has allowed the NFL to kick off Week 17 on Christmas Day, so Week 17 will be a Christmas/Countdown to New Year's week, while the impending Week 16 will serve as an early Countdown to the Holidays. Because of what's happening regarding the scenarios for this week, I have to separate this by conference, because the American Football Conference could have everything settled by the end of the week. It's true.

Simpsons Review: "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"
Amazing, isn't it? 35 years. That's a long time in anything. Funny, this whole thing started as just a few minutes at a time on a sketch comedy show. Now? It's the measuring stick. It's been the measuring stick for many years. Primetime animation may have started with William Hanna and Joseph Barbera over six decades ago, and while they set that bar, Matt Groening raised it exponentially. Over 700 episodes have aired, and it all officially began with a simple Christmas celebration.

NFL Week 15 Recap: Paradigm Shift
You know, I had to be one of very few NFL fans who actually didn't have this game between the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions circled on my Week 15 itinerary. Don't get me wrong; there were quite a few games I was focused on for that week, but this one, despite the heavy anticipation, was not one of them. Everyone saw this as a Super Bowl LIX preview. I honestly can't see why. We all know Josh Allen falters in January. And as genuinely good as the Lions are, something will always happen with them.

Stark Raving Vicious
WWE is coming off a massively epic Saturday Night's Main Event program that really showed out, with the show seeing the official crowning of the first-ever Women's United States Champion. At the event, Chelsea Green won the Finals of that title's tournament; outlasting 11 other immensely talented superstars to earn that distinguished honor. With that quest finished, the focus now shifts to Raw's Women's Intercontinental Championship, as that tournament has Dakota Kai and Lyra Valkyria in the Semifinals awaiting their opponents.

Reviewing the Conclusion of the Women's United States Championship Tournament
The best thing to happen to WWE's Women's Division was the recent and long overdue addition of the midcard championships. First, the Women's United States Championship was announced. Twelve women battled for a chance to make history on the big stage known as Saturday Night's Main Event, and on the previous night's edition of SmackDown, it was down to the Final Four.

Always Bet on Blackwood
For me, this was a very awesome Saturday night. I enjoyed seeing Saturday Night's Main Event for the first time in 16 years, and as the show reached the second half, the Colorado Avalanche began play against the Nashville Predators. This was the third meeting of the season against the Preds; the first meeting in Nashville went the Preds' way, but the second meeting was the overtime win at home for the Avs. This was also the second game of a brief two-game homestand before the Avs would head back on the road for three games in the Pacific Time Zone.

Reviewing a Hat Trick of Villainesses from "Don't Let Him Find You"
2024 has been quite an interesting and delicious year for Lifetime thrillers. I'll definitely delve more into that in my annual year end top 10 list, which I've been writing since 2021. I've enjoyed a lot of these thrillers and the villainesses that have come with them, and that collection does include this movie that aired on Black Friday: Don't Let Him Find You.
