As of today after another somewhat shocking announcement, there's another high-ranking hockey job that will be available at the end of the season, s...

When Life Imitates Art
I will fully admit that I don't watch enough Bob's Burgers to be an subject matter expert about the show, but I have seen episodes here and there that had some funny moments. One of those episodes is titled "An Incon-wheelie-ent Truth" from Season Eleven of the Fox Television animated series where the character to the left, known as "Wheelie Mammoth", was introduced. In the episode, the Belcher family visits a flea market where Bob and Linda are haunted by a lie they told the kids about what h...

The best season a player on your favorite team ever had while missing the playoffs
If you’re team misses the playoffs, the season was a failure and there’s nothing to celebrate. Or at least, that’s typically what fans are told, especially at this time of year. And often, it’s true enough. But not always, because even a season that doesn’t lead to a playoff run can still have its highlights. Like, for example, a player who puts together a season for the ages, despite all the losing. That sort of success seems worth recognizing. So today’s assignment is simple: Let’s go throug...
