https://tvline.com/news/the-neighborhood-spinoff-crutch-tracy-morgan-paramount-plus-1235232870/ Very happy for this! I've been a fan of Tracy Morgan since SNL and 30 Rock; I just know he'll shine in this spinoff! And this is a big boom for The Neighborhood as well!

Roseanne, in so many words, called Valerie Jarrett (an adviser to then-President Barack Obama) an ape. Jarrett's Black. And like all racists, Roseanne tried to make excuses; claiming she was on Ambien when she tweeted that racist comment.

There is no place here for Joey Camp and his racist, criminal, bigoted, and disgusting rhetoric! He's a no-good sociopath who should be locked up for the rest of his life!

https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1575883/wwe-announces-date-location-wrestlemania-41/ It had been rumored for a while that WM would be heading to Sin City; now it's official! The dates (April 19-20) are surprisingly later than usual, very interesting.

I loved the crossovers as well, those Crisis events were so awesome. The Arrowverse was a way for me to make up for the fact that I wasn't a superhero geek as a kid. I enjoyed Legends, especially during playoff time in any sport.

Very horrible news indeed! I hope that character gets locked up for the rest of his life!

NextDoor is allergic to the truth, acceptance, accountability, decency, fairness, objectivity, class, you name it. They are all pieces of work. Karma will get them very soon.

Riley Gaines and her hateful rhetoric can go to hell and stay there! She is no hero, she is no crusader, she is a butthurt sore loser and a bigot!

It should have been Eddie. Eddie's more likable than Buck. I've seen Buck say things that could definitely qualify as being homophobic, yet he's the one that's now bi. Honestly, that's an insult to the LGBT community.

That made me nervous, too. I recall that Chimney contracted viral encephalitis from that loon who was stuck in the vent, and that's why his memory's all f**ked up. I was really hoping he'd be all good, but then that line: "Why do they call me Chimney?" Oh man, oh man.

Very excited for this! I've been a fan of Morena Baccarin since the V reboot (didn't watch, but knew I'd enjoy watching her). This spinoff should be awesome!

https://tvline.com/news/night-court-renewed-season-3-nbc-melissa-rauch-1235167493/ WHOOHOOO!!!!! This was my main worry. I was worried that the reboot would be axed abruptly because the strike forced a pretty f**ked up Season 2 schedule, but thank God Season 3 is happening. Now they can give a good tribute to Richard Moll in an upcoming episode.

I loved that show! Granted once Wentworth Miller left early and Dominic Purcell was on his way out, the show lost some of its spark. I think they got it back with the Constantine addition. I'm grateful to LoT for that; bringing back Matt Ryan as Constantine and righting a huge wrong done by NBC. I'm with you, we need some resolution regarding LoT, but given that The CW has basically killed the Arrowverse (with the final season of Superman and Lois being the swan song), I don't know if we'll get it. As a fan of villainesses, this show pleased me a lot; they really delivered in that department.

Let's talk about the two most dangerous words in the English language to any fan of the Stanley Cup Playoffs: Game Seven. Really, Game Seven is nerve-wracking in all three sports that uses a playoff series format--NBA, MLB, and NHL. In the NBA and NHL, all playoff rounds are best-of-seven. Since 2022, MLB has a best-of-three Wild Card Series and a best-of-five Division Series, and it's the League Championship Series and the World Series that are best-of-seven. Of course, Game Seven only comes when both teams have won three games out of six, and a final seventh game is needed to determine who advances, or in the case of the final round, who becomes champion. The main subject in this blog is Game Sevens in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, because while all Game Sevens are nerve-wracking, the ones that will most likely raise your heart rate are in the NHL. Baseball's slow-paced, it doesn't pick up until a bases loaded situation. Basketball's faster, but it's a controlled frenzy. Hockey can go a million ways, especially the way the puck bounces. That's why Game Sevens in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, while they are exciting, can be nerve-wracking for overall fans, and frightening for fans of teams playing in one. And if Game Seven goes to overtime...oh boy. So we actually have a Game Seven in this year's opening round, and honestly, I didn't think we'd see one. The first round has been less climactic than usual. We have one sweep, and four series ended in five games. The only exciting five game series was the Avalanche/Jets series, and that's because there were so many goals scored. The remaining three that are ongoing now have reached Game Six, and the series that reached Game Seven is the one between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs, because of course it is. This was another series that was 3-1 after four games, and it was Boston with the 3-1 lead. However, back-to-back 2-1 wins by Toronto have resulted in a Game Seven needed. Game Seven hasn't really been kind to both teams. We all know Toronto's history, they haven't won a Game Seven in 20 years, and they have lost their last five Game Sevens--with three of them coming against Boston. And unlike the rest of the hockey world, I see both sides to this. Boston has had recent problems closing out series. The losses in Games Five and Six this year served as their fifth and sixth straight losses in series clinching games dating back to 2022. This includes last year, where a 65-win Bruins team blew a 3-1 series lead to the upstart Florida Panthers in Round 1. Speaking of that series last year, no NHL team has ever blown 3-1 series leads in back-to-back year. That's what the Bruins face on Saturday. Saturday's winner will face off against the Florida Panthers in Round 2. As for the remaining series, the Nashville Predators and the Vegas Golden Knights each have the chance to force Game Sevens of their own. If they do, those Game Sevens will take place on Sunday.

I'm hoping so, too!

So a few days ago, we were hit with the shocking news that NCIS: Hawai'i, the fourth installment in the NCIS franchise, would be canceled after three seasons. The series starred Vanessa Lachey as Jane Tennant, the leader of the NCIS crew in the country's 50th state. We've seen this installment crossover with the original series, and it was near the tail end of Season 2 that LL Cool J began his reprising his NCIS: LA role of Sam Hanna. So regarding the cancellation, why did this happen? Here's what CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach had to say to Variety magazine: "Keep the schedule fresh"? Soooo...the first NCIS series to have a female lead and have an out LGBT couple isn't "fresh" in your mind, Ms. Reisenbach?! The more I think about those attributes, the more I see this as a classic case of making the "old White men" happy. I've seen a lot of episodes of the NCIS franchise, and while the shows are good, the casts aren't that diverse. The OG series and the New Orleans incarnation both had White male leads, and LL Cool J was a co-lead on LA with Chris O'Donnell. "But what about NCIS: Sydney?" you ask. "That has a female lead." That's right, Sydney does have a female lead. Here's the thing, though. Even now, in 2024, where diversity and representation are both big musts, the Highlander rule does apply when it comes to those things. What's the rule in Highlander? There can only be one. Sadly, that rule has applied with diversity in a lot of forums. Hawai'i had a female lead and so did Sydney, and once Sydney got the renewal, that sealed Hawai'i's fate. Marginalized groups will get an inch, but when we start to get more inches, we get cut down to size. I do not buy this bullsh*t excuse about "keeping the schedule fresh" and "keeping momentum going." You want to keep a schedule fresh? Move shows! It happens all the time! Shows always get moved to different time slots to test the waters. They didn't even try to do that. NCIS: Hawai'i had a lot of momentum. It was the first in the franchise to be led by a female, and it had some good representation. And I think that's the true reason why they axed the show, because two NCIS shows with female leads would be seen as "catering" to the so-called "woke mob." This was CBS' way of appeasing the "good ol' boys." Shame on them for this decision.

https://tvline.com/casting-news/tracker-season-1-cast-jennifer-morrison-colter-friend-finale-1235228064/ The casting and guest stars announced for this season have been amazing so far! This is clearly one of the many factors that led to the early renewal!

Riley Gaines is f**king despicable. I wish she would get hit in the face with a puck!

https://tvline.com/news/the-conners-renewed-final-season-7-abc-1235081167/ I haven't watched The Conners, but this news makes me happy for one simple reason: it proves all the Roseanne Barr-a** kissing morons WRONG. Racist Roseanne is still going around showing off her victim complex and claiming that she was "unfairly" fired and "cancelled"; even though her firing was justified because she made racist comments. And everyone said, "You can't have Roseanne without Roseanne." From the looks of it, you can, and it can last a long time as well. Roseanne Barr can go f**k herself.

https://tvline.com/previews/melissa-roxburgh-tracker-season-1-episode-11-dory-shaw-video-1235226473/ Part of me hopes Dory's a villainess somehow, mainly because Melissa Roxburgh's never played one. I still sense that their mother Mary (Wendy Crewson) has some evil secrets of her own; I've had that feeling since Episode 1.

This season is going to be so f**king epic!! 15 episodes split in to three parts?! Yeah, a lot of big sh*t is going to go down, and it'll be wild!

Riley Gaines and Tubby McFatf**k Morrisey can go f**k themselves. Those transphobic middle schoolers got the punishment they deserved. I applaud Becky and I'm happy that she kicked a**. The transphobes can go cry in the car.

I can't believe that my fellow Avalanche fans entered this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs scared and worried. Yes, I was a bit demoralized when the Winnipeg Jets, a team we would play in the playoffs, thrashed us 7-0 on our own ice, but I wasn't negative about it. I stood by what I said to a fellow Avs fan on Twitter: "I don't give a f**k who we play, we'll f**k 'em up." The Jets swept the season series against the Avs: "I don't give a f**k who we play, we'll f**k 'em up." Our goalie, Alexandar Georgiev, was having problems in net: "I don't give a f**k who we play, we'll f**k 'em up." Avs entered the playoffs on a bit of a skid: "I don't give a f**k who we play, we'll f**k 'em up." Even when Georgiev was a mess in Game One, I said that we're going to enter Game 2 p**sed off. Boy did we. The Avalanche won four straight and all in dominant fashion! We scored 28 goals in the five game series! That's an average of 5.6 goals per game. Mind you, this was against a Jets team who had Connor Hellebuyck as their goalie. Hellebuyck won the William M. Jennings Trophy this year--that trophy goes to the goalie(s) who gave up the fewest goals in the NHL season. He is also a finalist for the Vezina trophy this year. Hellebuyck gave up 24 of the Avs' 28 goals, finishing the playoffs with a Goals Against Average over five! Even in the Avs' Game One loss, we scored six goals! Here's the scary part: most of the offense did NOT come from the Avalanche's big three (Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Mikko Rantanen). MacKinnon only had two goals, Makar had two goals, and Mikko didn't score a goal until Game Five--where he scored twice. So they only accounted for 6 goals, meaning the other 22 came from the rest of the group. SEVEN of them were scored by Valeri Nichushkin, and Artturi Lehkonen had five of them. That still leaves TEN goals from unexpected sources. Zach Parise, who's 39 and retiring after this season, scored twice. Holy moley! And boy were Jets fans full of themselves during Game One. After the Jets scored their seventh of the game, their fans chanted "Pull your goalie!" They should have been told that a series doesn't end after one game. Oh, and the goalie that got pulled during a game was Hellebuyck, who was pulled after two periods in Game Four. Georgiev got his sh*t together. Same could not be said for Hellebuyck. Buyck should enjoy that Vezina he's going to win. That and a few bucks will get him a cup of coffee. Though, Hellebuyck wasn't the only one to blame, he definitely deserves at least 75% of it. And how did the Jets react to the fact that they would receive yet another playoff disappointment? They got dirty. Gabriel Vilardi, who was traded from LA to Winnipeg, delivered a dirty headshot to Makar. Yet he was never penalized. Refs still have some sort of vendetta against the Avs, I see. The Avalanche are off to Round 2 in dominant fashion a year after our attempt to repeat as Stanley Cup Champions saw us ousted in Round 1 by, of all teams, the Seattle Kraken. We will face off against either the Dallas Stars or the Vegas Golden Knights, and if we face Vegas, then the Avs will actually have home-ice advantage In Round 2. With that said, however, I hope Dallas crushes Vegas. I don't care if it costs us home ice in Round 2, I don't want Vegas to win sh*t but a kick in the a**. Speaking of a kick in the a**, that's what the Winnipeg Jets got, and then some, from the Avalanche. Another playoff disappointment from the Jets, who have still only won one playoff series since that magical run to the Western Conference Final in 2018. Since 2021, I have written stories about eliminations from the Stanley Cup Playoffs, simply titled, "What Went Wrong." I write 14 of them every year: 8 for the first round, four for the 2nd round, and two for the Conference Finals. Here's my story on Vocal about the Jets' elimination: https://vocal.media/unbalanced/what-went-wrong-the-buyck-stops-here And here's my YouTube video where I talked about the Avs' series win, and the rest of the action:

I would say that Joey Camp needs professional help, but I think he's way beyond that. No therapist can get through to him. He is hard-headed and stubborn as a pack of mules. Joey needs to be locked up away from society. We will all be better off.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/29/sport/mlb-plans-to-modify-uniforms-ahead-of-2025-season-spt-intl/index.html I've heard a lot of stories about complaints about the uniforms. I definitely find the smaller lettering very strange as well. The numbers look just a tad different, but that part doesn't bother me.
