So, for those of you who pay attention, I'm a Canadian. You can't deport me, because I'm safely ensconced north of the border.

Because there's nothing going on. There's even a lack of good rumours, partially because most job openings have been filled. It just means time for more "Peter King thinkpieces", which isn't good for anybody. I'm not one of those "back in my day" types who thinks the break is too long.

As you already know,  we have four games this weekend. That much there is no argument about.  As to who will win,  that's where we get into a bit of a gray area.  How gray? Despair not,  dear friends, as I'm here to dispel Wild Card myths.  I'm also here to

Finally, has "The Walking Dead" emerged from its mediocrity and embraced the light?! Nope. I'm going to freely admit that I watched bits of the episode during commercials (and Earl

Man, I don't even know anymore... He's dead; get over it. Thanks to Seamus for covering last week while I was off doing research for the site. [That reminds me - I have to file an expense report with DFO's accountant; I hope she accepts empty cups as receipts.] This week's The Walking

I think I may have reached the "tuning out" phase of my "Walking Dead" relationship. Oh, as always, Anyway, this episode ("The Cell") is centred around Daryl and his adventures at Guantanamo Bay "The Sanctuary" being psychologically broken by The Saviors. The episode opens with Dwight making himself a nice ham sammich
