NFL Week 17 Recap: Resolutions
The penultimate week of the NFL season always manages to deliver the amazing moments, and this year was no exception. Since this is New Year's Eve, I thought I would deviate from the usual format of picking the top story of the week, and going from the beginning of the week to the end. A countdown, if you will.

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2023 (Part 2: The Top 5)
I'm going to admit something: deciding who would be part of the first half of the year-end top 10 list this year was quite difficult. 2023 gave us a lot of very delicious villainesses on Lifetime's networks, and deciding who would be in the first half of that list wasn't easy, but it was done, and the list can be found here. Now, while deciding the first half was hard, the top 5 wasn't. As early as the beginning of fall, I had my top 5 cemented. These villainesses were truly the best of the best in 2023, and I'm still beaming over how delicious and epic they were!

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2023 (Part 1: #10 - #6)
Can you believe this is Year Three of this list on Vocal? Seems like yesterday that I first did this. This year's gave us some very delicious villainesses, including a number of actresses finally entering the dark side of a Lifetime movie for the first time. Here's how this list has evolved already. Two years ago, it was only villainesses from Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network. Last year, I decided to mix it up and add some baddies from Lifetime Movie Club and Tubi, because the latter's thrillers are basically Lifetime movies. For this year, I gave Tubi their own list (click here for that story), but this list will still feature the best villainesses from Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, and Lifetime Movie Club. This was a hell of a year for Lifetime villainesses, and I truly enjoyed it.

Next Door Has a Toxic Moderator Problem
While I was watching the Thursday Night Football contest between the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns, I was on Next Door at some point, and I noticed something of concern on the app. Someone posted about a delivery driver that had violent tendencies, and it became a big conversation involving others who had similar experiences. However, one person decided to shame said person and blame them, trying to suggest that the person "should have tried to get the driver's side of the story."

Avalanche Game 36 Recap: Bouncing Back
The Avalanche were coming off quite an embarrassing overtime loss; leading 4-0 but giving up five straight against the Arizona Coyotes. Ironically, the one point that Colorado received was enough for the good guys to take the Central Division lead, but still, this was a terrible loss. In addition, after being road warriors to start the season and winning those games outside of Ball Arena, the Avs were on a six-game road losing streak, with three of the losses coming in extra time.

Top 5 Tubi Villainesses of 2023
This has been an amazing year for villainesses from Tubi's original film; so much so that I've decided to give Tubi their own year-end list for 2023. Last year, I mixed some Tubi into the Lifetime year-end list, because a lot of Tubi's original films are the ones that Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, or even Lifetime Movie Club passes up. Regarding the number, I decided to list Tubi's five best villainesses, mainly because their releases don't really operate like Lifetime's. Combined, Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network releases three thrillers a week (on non-holiday centered weeks). Tubi releases about three or four thrillers per month.

A Look Ahead to Week 18 of the 2023 NFL Season. Top Story - December 2023.
Week 17 kicks off tonight, but I want to take a look ahead to Week 18, the final week of the regular season. We all love the final week, don't we? We've really loved it since they changed the final week's schedule back in 2010. The final week always completes the league's playoff puzzle, it's do or die for a lot of teams looking to get in and even clinch divisions. However, a lot of games lacked a lot of drama, and even saw teams not give their all when they know that they can't move up in the standings. So in 2010, the NFL decided to make all of the final week's games divisional, because regardless of where a team is in the standings, that team wants to give their all to defeat a division rival.

Avalanche Game 35 Recap: It Was 4-0
Well...at least we're back in first place. Yay? The NHL returned from their three-day holiday break with 14 games, and the Colorado Avalanche were no exception. The Avs were coming off a big 4-1 win over the Arizona Coyotes on December 23, and in this go-around, the Avs faced the Yotes again, this time in the desert. Mikko Rantanen was my Avs Twitter Psychic pick in the game, and for only the third time this season, I was correct. It was a power play goal late in the first, and it was Rantanen from Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar. The Avs led 1-0 after 20 minutes, and for MacKinnon, his points streak reached 19 games.

A Perfect Time to Panic (NFC Week 17)
While the AFC has a lot to decide and will need both of the remaining weeks to do so, the National Football Conference has quite a bit left to decide, and it could all be solved before the ball drops. I definitely hope it doesn't, and one reason goes without saying. The other reason is that it would make Week 18 very anti-climactic; we need some spark in the NFC for the final week.

Year-End Clearance (AFC Week 17)
We are down to the final two weeks of the 2023 NFL season, and it's gut check time. The last two weeks are do or die, with the final week putting that phrase to good use. Before 2021, Week 17 served as the final week of the season, but even though it's not anymore, it's still very climactic. In addition, while Christmas was the centerpiece of Week 16, Week 17 is about bringing in the New Year. In the case of this season, 14 of this week's 16 games will take place on New Year's Eve, with no more Monday games for the rest of the season.

NFL Week 16 Christmas Day Recap: Crisis Mode in Kansas City
In the immortal words of the late, great Bobby "Blue" Bland, "I smell trouble." Week 16 of the 2023 NFL season ended with a triple dip of NFL action on Christmas Day, and it began with the Las Vegas Raiders on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs. This was the only one of the three games that featured an actual clinching scenario. The Chiefs entered Christmas Day with a chance to lock up the AFC West with a win or even a tie (the latter thanks to the Denver Broncos' loss on Christmas Eve). As for the Raiders, it was do or die. While they were actually alive in not only the playoff race, but the division as well, a loss would bring their season to an end. And yes, for the Swifties wondering, T-Swift was in attendance.

NFL Week 16 Christmas Eve Recap: A Motor City Stocking Stuffer
I just want to say this. I've never been so happy to see a rival win a division title. While I despise the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings, I can't say that I have that same hatred for the Detroit Lions. The Lions and Packers have been foes for over 90 years, and have spent the last half century plus in the same division. Yet I couldn't help but not find a reason to actually hate them. With the Bears, there's the history and the rivalry; the oldest in NFL history. With the Vikings, it's more than the rivalry; there's some arrogance from that fanbase. The Lions? Nothing.
