A Winter Burial
Marlowe Bender always received the task of shoveling snow near their home, and it was usually done with a smile on her face, though the last part was always according to her husband, James Bender. In actuality, this was James' task, but Marlowe couldn't remember the last time James actually did the task--or any actual work.

Avalanche Game 47 Recap: Top Nate Dogg
Saturday saw the Colorado Avalanche's five game road trip come to an end. What a trip, though. Game 1 was the comeback win in Toronto. Game 2 was the heartbreaking loss in Montreal. Game 3 featured another comeback in in Ottawa, and Game 4 was a tough loss in Boston. The fifth and final game of this road trip sees the Avs in Philadelphia against a Flyers team who appears to be playoff bound.

The Sad Golden Rule in the NFL: Only White Coaches are Allowed to Have Mulligans
I've said this for a good bit, and it's about time I call it out. Now, let me make one thing clear. Yes, I (and everyone else) heard the news that the Dallas Cowboys will keep Mike McCarthy for another year. However, he is not part of this problem. For better or worse, McCarthy does have a strong and accomplished record, and he has won a Super Bowl. Yes, most of that was thanks to Aaron Rodgers, but the record's there, mistakes or not.

Avalanche Game 46 Recap: Carb Overload
It's Game Four of the Colorado Avalanche's five game road trip, and after playing three games in Eastern Canada, the boys are back stateside. This time, the Avs are in Boston facing off against the Bruins, with the game taking place on the anniversary of Willie O'Ree breaking the NHL's color barrier. This finishes off the season series, as the first meeting was a 4-3 shootout win for the Avalanche.

Riches to Rags
Ugh! I'm still so groggy. How is it that I have a hangover? I don't have a head to ache. I'm not even human. I'm just an old rag. Though, I didn't start out that way. I'm actually part of a t-shirt. Well...I was. My memories are starting to come back now. Familiar sounds coming back to me. Loud swearing and...hockey! Not just any hockey, it's the Bruins!

Avalanche Game 45 Recap: Still Finding a Way
Fresh off a devastating loss in Montréal, the Colorado Avalanche were off to Canada's capital, Ottawa, for the second and last meeting with the Ottawa Senators. The first meeting was a memorable one, as it saw Nathan MacKinnon score four goals in that outing. Regarding Part 2, the Avs were still looking to keep pace with the red hot Winnipeg Jets in the Central Division standings, as the loss in Montréal kept the Avs from moving past the Jets.

Avalanche Game 44 Recap: C'est du Hockey
The second leg of the Colorado Avalanche's five-game Eastern road swing sees the team head to Montréal to face off against Les Habitants, the Canadiens. It's amazing. This used to be a provincial rivalry, as the old Quebec Nordiques battled hard against the Canadiens for sixteen seasons before the Nords moved to Denver. Even so, the teams still have a crazy connection, mainly because the Avs have taken some notable names from the Habs, and won Cups with them.

Super Wild Card Weekend Recap: The Inheritance
Over 24 hours have passed, and I still feel like I'm in a wonderful dream. It was Sunday, January 14, 2024, and the Green Bay Packers were heading to Arlington, Texas to face off against the Dallas Cowboys in one of the NFC's three Wild Card Playoff contests. As the game got closer to beginning, I was just drinking in this moment. Jordan Love is in his first playoff game. This is big. No matter what happens from this point, Love has more than proved that he's the man in Green Bay, and he had already exceeded expectations by simply playing in this game.

Avalanche Game 43 Recap: The Comeback Kings
It was a day where the NFL took center stage, as this year's Super Wild Card Weekend was underway. Even so, the NHL had a stacked schedule: all 32 teams were in action. Two of them were the Colorado Avalanche and the Toronto Maple Leafs, and they faced each other. That's a marquee matchup, mainly because it pits two of the NHL's biggest stars against each other: Nathan MacKinnon and Auston Matthews. One's climbing the ladder in the points race, the other is leading the league in goals. Giddy--by God--up!

A Look at a Very Elegant Debut at TNA's "Hard to Kill" Event
Wrestling fans witnessed a landmark moment on Saturday, January 13, 2024. The Hard to Kill event marked the return of TNA Wrestling after seven years of being known as Impact Wrestling, with the TNA name's return being announced months prior at Bound For Glory. The event was quite big for TNA's Knockouts Division. For one, the main show kicked off with the Knockouts Ultimate X match, which was won by Gisele Shaw. I saw this coming; Gisele had been gaining a lot of good elevation in the last year. 2023 was good to Gisele, and I had a feeling that 2024 would see that elevation continue to improve.

History of the NFL Playoffs (Part V: Wild Card Weekend - 1990-present)
In 1978, the NFL added a second Wild Card spot per conference, which resulted in the birth of a new opening round for the NFL playoffs: the Wild Card Playoff. From 1978 until 1989 (with the exception of the shortened 1982 season), each conference kicked off the playoffs with their Wild Cards (seeded #4 and #5) facing each other, while the three division champions (East, Central, and West) all had byes straight to the Divisional Playoff. The winner would advance to the Divisional Playoff against the #1 seed in the conference, though if the #1 seed was a division foe, the Wild Card Playoff winner would face the #2 team.
