Reviewing "9-1-1: Nashville" Following Their Series-Opening Arc
I have really enjoyed the 9-1-1 franchise for nearly a decade now, and of course, I got into this because I've been a Ryan Murphy fan ever since Nip/Tuck. It's hard to believe that the original series is in its ninth season, having premiered during the heart of the 2017-18 TV season; originally on Fox before making the move to ABC during Season Seven. The original series takes place in Los Angeles, while the first spinoff, 9-1-1: Lone Star, took place in Texas, and just recently ended its run.

Boston Fight Party
Hard to believe that the month of October is slowly ending, but even so, it'll still be early in the NHL season. The upcoming month of November is only important when it comes to American Thanksgiving, as teams who are above the playoff line by then usually stay up there and end up in the NHL's Sweet 16 by the time the season ends in April. But that's November. The focus is on the last Saturday in October, and the Colorado Avalanche were in Beantown facing the Boston Bruins.

World Series Game Two: The Stuff of Legends
In Game One, the Toronto Blue Jays absolutely flattened the Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen in that sixth inning. Out of the nine runs scored in that inning by Toronto, six of them were charged to the bullpen, which has been a sore subject to Dodgers fans all year. For the Dodgers, the mission for Game Two was simple: make sure the bullpen never takes the mound at all.

World Series Game One: Maple Leaf Muscle
I always love how each network that airs the championship round handles their coverage. In the case of the World Series, it's been a Fox staple for 26 straight seasons now, and the pregame often takes place live at the two destinations. In this case, the crew at Fox was in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for Game One, and it was amazing seeing the players make their entrance. Game One of a championship series, whether it's the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup Final, or the World Series, is always special.

Adams Division Values
Your eyes are not deceiving you, those jerseys are legit. It was announced prior to the start of the season that the Colorado Avalanche would don the throwback Quebec Nordiques jerseys during a number of select games, and this game was the first of the seven that would see these jerseys return. Even better, the Avs were at home facing the Carolina Hurricanes, and the Canes decided to don the old Hartford Whalers jerseys.

2025 World Series Preview
We have arrived, folks. After seven months, and so many games, we are down to just two teams. The 121st edition of the World Series in this modern era is all set, and it will feature the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers going at it. Because the Dodgers are the defending champions, this is a champions vs challengers situation here. In addition, for the second straight year, the Fall Classic will feature two of the continent's largest markets going at it, so this should be a hell of a Series here.

Treehouse of Avalanche
With a lot of the focus on the NFL, the League Championship Series, and even the NBA's return, I've been behind on the Colorado Avalanche recaps. Three games have passed, and with that, this recap is a special three-in-one deal. Fittingly, as an homage to The Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror" (which aired its 36th edition this past Sunday), this is the "Treehouse of Avalanche."

NFL Week 7 Recap: Lonely at the Top
The beautiful thing about the NFL being 18 weeks is that the season can be divided evenly into three sections. The first six weeks serve as a feeling out process, the period that tests out who the contenders are, who the pretenders are, and who will be playing draft picks. It's basically a six-week grace period.

What Went Wrong: You Have to Score More Than ONE RUN a Game, Brewers
"Built for Fall," it says. Built to fall is more like it. In past stories, I've mentioned the concept of "fool ya teams." It's a phrase my dad made up for teams who look good, look like they'll go all the way, are pushed up as big favorite, but they fizzle when it counts. The original Brooklyn Dodgers spent decades as MLB's original "fool ya team" until they finally won the big one in 1955. In recent years, that torched has been passed, though it can be said that the Cleveland Guardians have fooled people for many years now.

What Went Wrong: Where's Henry Rowengartner When You Need Him?
Remember when it looked like the Chicago Cubs would run away with the National League Central this year? It definitely looked like the Cubs would take the Central after a couple of seasons of being out of postseason contention in the final weekend. The Cubs started falling off during the late summer months, allowing the Milwaukee Brewers to return to their routine position of leading and eventually winning the NL Central. At least the Cubs did get something this time. The Cubs did get in as one of the National League's three Wild Cards; in fact, they finished as the best of the three Wild Cards, meaning that they had the Wild Card Series at home.

"Beyond the Gates" Week 31 Review
As Beyond the Gates progresses, the angles get more and more wild and unpredictable. If you had asked me this time a year ago, before this show was even promoted for a premiere, if I would be into any soap this religiously, I would have shouted a resounding "HELL NO!" I had made my feelings about soap operas very clear, and then Beyond the Gates changed the game. I said many times that the soap genre needed this badly. See how much less over the top this soap is compared to others? There's a reason for that; I'll let you figure that out.
