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.

Can the Buffalo Bills Actually Capture the AFC East?
Well, the Buffalo Bills took the Snake Plissken rout and escaped from LA. Now, for the most part, they pretty much control their own destiny. The Bills entered their Saturday meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers behind the playoff line, but having won back-to-back games against two strong playoff contenders in the Kansas City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys. The law of averages, with this team, states that Buffalo will probably lose to the Bolts, because the Bills seem to have trouble with the lower tier of teams.

The Airing of Grievances: NHL Edition
The day is here; a Festivus for the rest of us! Hardcore Seinfeld fans remember this very well. One of the episodes from the show's ninth and final season, "The Strike," revealed that Frank Costanza (played ever so brilliantly by the late, great Jerry Stiller) created Festivus as a response to the commercialism of the actual holidays. The holiday is celebrated on December 23, and instead of a tree, a pole is put up, as Frank finds tinsel distracting.

Avalanche Game 33 Recap: The Nathan MacKinnon Show
I repeat: Put Nathan MacKinnon's name on the Hart Trophy already! Following the team's loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, the Colorado Avalanche returned home for the holidays (well, close to it) for the first meeting against the Ottawa Senators. A little bit about the Sens; it's been hell for them at this point, and they just hired a new coach---well, sort of. Jacques Martin, who coach the Sens from 1996-2004, and coached them to the Eastern Conference Final in 2003, returned to the helm, with Sens legend Daniel Alfredsson as the assistant.

At Long Last, Black Santas are Appearing Frequently in Holiday Films
Santa Claus comes in all forms, and a few recent films have proven that to be true! We love St. Nick, don't we? We love the imagery of Santa Claus, and we do love seeing him portrayed in so many TV shows and movies for so many decades. Let's talk about the imagery, shall we?

Avalanche Game 32 Recap: Shenanigans
The Central Division race has been crazy in the last week or so. The top three in the division has changed a lot, and after the win over the San Jose Sharks, the Colorado Avalanche took the division's top spot and held it...for 24 hours. The Dallas Stars surpassed Colorado when they defeated the Seattle Kraken, leaving the Avs to try to get back on top once again. The Avs went on the road for Game #32; the Windy City, to be exact. It's always interesting when the Avs and the Chicago Blackhawks get together, and this season is no different, mainly because of Connor Bedard. The first meeting was the Avs' home opener, and it was a shutout win for Colorado.

Villainess Review: Jill Rhodes (Naughty or Nice)
One of the many things I love about the holiday season is the holiday-themed shows and films. Hallmark starts celebrating the holidays in October, and I mean both networks; the mystery films take the rest of the calendar year off to make way for the holiday films on their channel. I don't expect villainesses to appear, and even if one does appear, they're usually just nasty or "Grinchy," and they redeem themselves by film's end, because, hey, it's the holidays. That's what the holiday spirit is all about.

All I Want for Christmas is a Division Title (Week 16)
Ho, ho, ho! It's Christmas week in the NFL! I love Week 16, mainly because it occurs so close to Christmas, with actual games on the Christmas holiday (December 25) depending on how the calendar looks. We are entering the final three weeks of the season, and they are highly crucial. In fantasy football, it's deep in playoff time, with the semifinals taking place in most leagues. In the NFL, it's the real beginning of the end.

A Scandal to Die For
It was a whirlwind of emotion for several high school students, but out of all of the students, none of them were as heartbroken and deeper in mourning than Elisa Peters. The person that the entire school was mourning was Jason Miller, who had been the school's English teacher for 20 years. He was beloved by many of the school's students, as well as a good bit of the faculty, but regarding Elisa, Jason actually helped her with her studies, and got her on the right track as far as her grades were concerned.

NFL Week 15 Recap: Going South
The AFC South is getting hot and heavy! Week 15's Sunday Night Football spotlight was on the Jacksonville Jaguars for the first time in 15 years; since Week 5 of the 2008 season. The Jags, who are coming off back-to-back losses, played host to a Baltimore Ravens team who was looking to become the first AFC team to clinch a playoff spot this season. The Jags were looking to bounce back from their losses, as well as the injury to Trevor Lawrence two weeks prior, but unfortunately, the Jags were outplayed from the get-go. This includes a very dumb and questionable play at the end of the first half, a weird pass play that saw the Jags fail to get out of bounds and allow the few remaining ticks to run out with no points for Jacksonville.

Avalanche Game 31 Recap: No Bigger Boat Needed
Entering the second leg of a back-to-back, the Colorado Avalanche found themselves in third place in the Central Division. It was a three way tie in points with the Winnipeg Jets and the Dallas Stars; both of whom had a game in hand over Colorado. Game 30 was a disaster, but Game 31 was a welcome opportunity to return to the top of the Central. The Avs faced off against the San Jose Sharks, the second of three meetings this season. The first meeting was Colorado's second game of the season, a 2-1 win via shootout. However, a lot has happened in the last two months. This is a different Sharks team. While they're still not in a good position, they are playing with a lot of "give a damn" and it's led them to nine wins in the 20 games they've played since their horrendous 0-10-1 start.
