"Beyond the Gates" Week 20 Review
Patience is a virtue, and I'm speaking as someone who waited 21 years for a Stanley Cup. So the 20th week of CBS' relatively new soap, Beyond the Gates, finally delivered something we had all been waiting weeks for. As a result, this review will be different. Normally, it would have been about a specific highlight from each of the episodes from that week, in this case, the episodes airing between July 14 and July 18. But regarding Week 20, there was only one true highlight overall that week, and we know what that is. So this week's review will only focus on the ultimate reveal that took place.

Top 10 Most Astounding Sports Droughts
As the saying goes, "You win some, and you lose some." Such is life in sports. However, some teams do a lot of winning. There's a current NFL dynasty in Kansas City, Florida's two NHL teams have been in the Cup Final every year in this decade, and won four of those times. The Golden State Warriors had a recent string of championships in the NBA, and baseball has the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees among the ultimate "haves."

The Greatest Game: A Look at the 1958 Baltimore Colts
Every sport has that at least one "you had to be there" stand out moment. It never fails. Football has had their share of those wild moments, but the earliest of those moments had to have taken place in the end of 1958. But I'm getting ahead of myself a bit. Let's dive into the history of the team in the center of this epic moment: the Baltimore Colts.

CFL Week 6 Recap: Changing of the Guard
Week 6 definitely had quite a few twists and turns in the CFL season. The biggest twist was that the three-game week was originally supposed to start that Friday, but there was a huge delay. The air quality in Regina, Saskatchewan was absolutely horrendous, and the cause was a wildfire in the neighboring province of Manitoba. After hours of waiting, the delay reached a point where the game finally had to be postponed for early Saturday.

Recapping a Historic 2025 MLB All-Star Game
We all love the MLB All-Star Game, don't we? Baseball's game seems to stand out over the other leagues in many ways. For one, MLB is the only league whose All-Star Game takes place on a weeknight; the other three leagues have their games on the weekend--either on Saturday or Sunday. Secondly, MLB's All-Star Game is the only one out of the main four where the players wear their team uniforms, and as much as I love All-Star gear, it is nice to see that mixture of team uniforms and colors out there. And third, it's the only game that hasn't really changed formats, it's been American League vs National League forever.

"Beyond the Gates" Week 19 Review
So Beyond the Gates took the week between June 30 and July 4 off for reasons I still cannot figure out. Even so, I figured that the show would return with a huge bang after their strange hiatus. Boy, was that an understatement! So much craziness happened in this past week on the show, and most of it happened in the same episode!

A Spooky Siege
At only 20 years of age, Sylvie Hanson didn't expect to be the owner of a castle. It happened via tragic circumstances; it was passed down by her father, Sebastian Hanson, who passed on two months prior. The castle was known as Gladstone Manor, a quaint yet spooky domicile, but it was Sylvie's--lock, stock, and barrel.

CFL Week 5 Recap: Divisional Decline
We are only five weeks through the 2025 CFL season, yet it's clear that the West is the stronger division. I had sensed this after Week 4, but Week 5 really turned things up big time. Now, Week 5 started with a West Division Thursday Night battle between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Calgary Stampeders, but that even delivered a huge surprise, as the Stamps stomped on the Bombers--the very Bombers who have represented the West five years straight in the Grey Cup--by a score of 37-16. Wow!

Deadly Desperation
On a Saturday night, Cassie Crandall was on the phone with her wife, Janine Templeton, who is the sheriff of their small town. They had been married for 10 years, but things had been contentious to say the least. Divorce was inevitable, and Cassie wanted out, feeling that things couldn't be repaired.

"Beyond the Gates" Week 18 Review
So I'm late with this recap, but this time, it's only partially my fault. Most of the blame is on CBS, and as much as I want to say why this early in the story, I'll wait a bit for that, and all I'll say for now is that your wait won't be as long as CBS' for sure. But anyway, it was the final full week in June (June 23-27), the Cup was awarded, the NBA Champions were crowned, and, but Beyond the Gates remained hot.

Thank You, Julian McMahon
The heartbreaking hits just keep on coming. On Twitter, the news broke that actor Julian McMahon passed away at the age of 56, after a private battle with cancer. McMahon's passing occurred on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, coming one day before another legendary name, Michael Madsen, left this world. McMahon's fans are many, and I am definitely included in that group. However, in my case, it's not only fandom, but gratitude. Immense gratitude.
