  1. Jerod Mayo introduced as New England Patriots' next head coach

    This is quite a big moment for diversity in the NFL. Jerod Mayo was officially named as the next head coach of the New England Patriots, succeeding the iconic Bill Belichick. Mayo becomes the first Black head coach in the over six-decade history of the Patriots, and not only that, he's the first coach of the post-Belichick era! Many NFL fans, myself included, have been longing for some forward direction when it comes to diversity among the league's group of head coaches. At the current moment, there six Black head coaches in the NFL:  Mayo, Mike McDonald (Dolphins), DeMeco Ryans (Texans), Todd Bowles (Buccaneers), Antonio Pierce (Raiders--on an interim basis as of this moment), and of course, Mike Tomlin (Steelers). If you add Jets' coach Robert Saleh, there are seven head coaches of color in the NFL.

    Seven coaches of color out of 32 teams in the NFL. It's one short of the 25% mark, but it's a lot higher than it once was. For a very brief moment, Tomlin and Saleh were the only coaches of color in the NFL--just two years ago. The sad part is, our want and need for diversity is met with baseless accusations that we're "anti-White" or "trying to get rid of all of the White coaches." Give me a break. We just want a fair chance, that's all. I'm glad Mayo is getting one, especially following the departure of an iconic head coach.

  2. Super Wild Card Weekend is over, and after the dust settled, eight teams remain standing in the NFL. The 2023 Divisional Playoff matchups are all set, and the second round will take place this Saturday and Sunday, with the round serving as the last bastian for Saturday NFL action this season. The games are as follows:

    In the AFC, the top seeded Baltimore Ravens will host the Houston Texans on Saturday. The Ravens received a bye into this round due to having the best record in the conference, while the Houston Texans won their Wild Card Playoff matchup over the Cleveland Browns. In the other game, the Buffalo Bills will host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday; the Chiefs defeated the Dolphins in their Wild Card Playoff, while the Bills defeated the Steelers in theirs.

    In the NFC, the top seeded San Francisco 49ers will host the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. The Niners received a bye into this round due to having the best record in the conference, while the Packers won in Dallas over the Cowboys--the first #7 seed to win a playoff game and the only road team to win during Super Wild Card Weekend. In the other game, the Detroit Lions will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday; the Lions defeated the Los Angeles Rams in their Wild Card Playoff, while the Buccaneers won over the Philadelphia Eagles in theirs.

    When the AFL and NFL merged in 1970, the Divisional Playoff served as the opening round of the playoffs until 1978, when the addition of a second Wild Card in each conference resulted in the debut of the Wild Card Playoff. In each conference, the winners of the Divisional Playoff will face each other in the Conference Championship.

  3. A retired actress (Kate Drummond) hires a tutor (Barbie Blank) to help her daughter's (Chiara Aurelia) grades improve, with Barbie being elated to help due to being a fan of an action packed show that Kate starred on. However, a series of mishaps occur, with Kate learning that the mastermind of the misdeeds is Athena, a masked villainess who appears on a computer screen with a pair of henchwomen (Charlette and Robyn Williamson), and is also a villainess from Kate's show. Chiara's life is threatened by Athena, leading to Kate enlisting Barbie to watch over Chiara along with her tutoring duties. However, Athena's twin henchwomen suddenly corner Barbie and Chiara, and in a sudden twist, Barbie turned heel and knocked out Chiara.
     
    Chiara wakes up at an abandoned warehouse and sees Robyn, Charlette, and Barbie standing over her. Barbie is in her disguise and reveals herself as Athena, while also revealing that she had been seeking revenge on Kate, who she accused of stealing the lead role on her show from her sister (Adrianne Palicki in flashbacks). After Adrianne committed suicide over losing the role, Barbie blamed Kate and decided to get hired as a tutor in order to steal everything from her, and it's up to Kate so save Chiara from the evil Barbie and her henchwomen.
     
    Additional cast includes Jazlyn Sward as Chiara's BFF, Brennan Elliott as Kate's husband and Chiara's father. Mercedes Martinez as the lead detective, and Sallie Glaner as Adrianne and Barbie's mother, who is not part of Barbie's villainous plot and is worried about Barbie.
