John Jay Fails to Hold First Half Lead in Loss to Lakeland
See photos and video below On Tuesday February 10, John Jay traveled to Lakeland and treated its fans to a very entertaining first half. Good for a 36-26 lead, the plot turned, and the Lakeland basics were too much for the Wolves to get the curtain call they wanted.

NBA Playoff Push 2026: One Down, 19 to Go
As I mentioned in my first story about the Stanley Cup Playoff race, the month of March is a very eventful one in sports. It's not just the NHL that enters the home stretch, it's also the National Basketball Association as well. Here's the thing: those of you who have read my stories in the near five years that I've been writing on Vocal notice something. I hardly write about the NBA. I mention the NFL, NHL, and MLB a lot, and I write about the CFL, but not the NBA. The reason is this: the NBA's lack of parity let me down for years. The only time I mention the NBA here is when I do game-by-game recaps of the NBA Finals.

Ready for the Stretch
It was a very interesting and fruitful Saturday for this hockey and wrestling fan. On that day, Chicago's United Center hosted the annual Elimination Chamber event, which serves as the final PPV (or PLE) stop before WrestleMania. While that was going on, the Colorado Avalanche hosted the Chicago Blackhawks, with the Avs donning the division rivalry alternates for the second straight game. The Avs were coming off a terrible loss to the Minnesota Wild, so we were looking to take that out on somebody.

Stanley Cup Playoff Push 2026: Charge!!!
It's here, folks! The month of March is here! You know the drill when it comes to the month of March. It's one of the most insane months of the year in sports. Baseball starts at the end of the month, as does the United Football League. College basketball takes over with conference tournaments, followed by the big dance, and in the NHL and NBA, it's the last full month of the regular season. In both leagues, March plays the same role as September in MLB and December in the NFL: it's the beginning of the end.

Parasite
"Parasite" is a 2019 South Korean film directed by Bong Joon-ho that tells the story of a poor family who cons their way into working for a wealthy family in Seoul. The movie is a masterful portrayal of the social and economic inequality prevalent in modern society and the lengths people will go to improve their circumstances.

A Cacophony of Shenanigans
The Colorado Avalanche's resumption began with a 4-2 victory over the Utah Mammoth, win #38 of the season. We were back to work on the following night, this time at home, but still facing a division foe. In this case, it's our oldest division rival: the Minnesota Wild. Our third meeting of the season against Minnesota, but it's the first time that the Avs hosted the Wild, as the previous two meetings were in Minnesota. It is also the second time that the NHL's top two defensemen, Cale Makar and Quinn Hughes, battled each other this season (the third if you count the Gold Medal Game this year).

IND vs ZIM: Pride, Pressure, and a Growing Rivalry
Some cricket matches carry decades of history and fierce rivalry. Others grow slowly, shaped by changing teams and fresh ambition. IND vs ZIM belongs to the second kind. On paper, India often enters as the favorite. Zimbabwe is usually seen as the underdog. But cricket has never been decided by reputation alone. One inspired spell of bowling or one fearless innings can shift everything. For Zimbabwe, facing India is a chance to prove strength on a global stage. For India, it is a test of focus and depth. Every IND vs ZIM match tells a story about confidence, growth, and belief. And with each new series, that story becomes more layered and more compelling.

A Blunt and Endearing Letter to Pittsburgh Steelers Fans
To any and all fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers, it has to be said: you guys are screwed. I'm sensing a trend here. First off, let's talk about the concept of "secondary teams." Many sports fans say they have that second team other than their favorite that they love. As for me, I kinda do, but I kinda don't. I'm a diehard Packers fan, but if I did have a secondary team in the NFL, it would be the Steelers. There was always something about how the Steelers carried themselves. Gritty, tough, never doing things the easy way. They're basically the Packers of the AFC.
