Divisional Playoff Recap: Josh Allen is a Choke Artist, Stop Pretending He's Not
As long as I can remember, I've always really loved the Divisional Playoff. The Divisional Playoff was originally the opening round of the merged NFL's playoffs, officially born in the same year that the merger happened: 1970. Since 1978, the Divisional Playoff has been the second round, and it's the round where the teams on bye are introduced. In addition, the Divisional Playoff serves as the final week to feature Saturday games, and also kicks off the "set bracket" portion of the playoffs.

Homestand Part IV: Crushed
Well... that happened. The Colorado Avalanche had a long layoff after the overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. That loss snapped a 17-game home winning streak, but the points streak remained. 22 home games, lost three--all past regulation. After three days off, the Avs were back in action against the Nashville Predators, and I always get nostalgic when the Avs and Preds get together. The teams met twice in the playoffs, in 2018 and 2022, and because of those meetings, I've always said that it's fun when these teams get together.

Rule Changes in CFL Football
Wow, practically every governing body for every sport in the world has altered rules to make that sport better, faster, more exciting, etc. That is, with maybe the exception of soccer, which is so mired in what is thought of as necessary tradition that it will never move into the 21st century or beyond. Volleyball, badminton, baseball, hockey, NFL football, basketball, curling and so many more have all made changes to rules that served to improve the games for participants and officials but especially for spectators of the game. Even chess has evolved versions of its game to include speed chess (blitz chess) and matches including multiple opponents and combinations of the two and resulting in games lasting less than one minute.
