Went and saw It's A Wonderful Life on the Christmas Eve noon showing yesterday. I love that theaters are doing cheap tickets to classic film because most new movies stream a week after theaterical release. Today is the big day to eat some Chinese food. Merry Christmas and Hanukkah Sameach!

SNME has been a fun fill out show. Obviously they are doing this and the January show to drum up more buzz with Raw hitting Netflix, SmackDown still doing whatever, and Cena's return. Rumble being a tad bit later on the calendar is proving to be interesting for the way it's structure.

There are financial disparities in baseball, but it's also the case that there are multiple teams whose biggest-ever free agent a contract isn't significantly higher in total value than Juan Soto's AAV. I don't think you get to whine about the game being unfair if your team's owner has never tried.

Soto is a Met in a shock to only Yankees fans. Still a few good FAs out there for some teams with just 2 or 3 pieces missing.

Kurt Angle as a high level amateur wrestler comes into the WWF and has no problems absolutely embarrassing himself for the entertainment. The Rock, someone who in the WWF was absolutely ridiculous and over the top as an "actor", now has childish meltdowns over Rock, Paper, Scissors.

NXT thoughts for tonight. I get not advertising Oba Femi if that was going to be the end result, as it was expected he was winning the men's survivor as soon as he got out there, but sometimes the obvious choice is the right one regardless. Great decision though. The underground was my least

A 6-3 loss to Columbus is not what anyone expected out of the Blackhawks this season. We keep this pattern up of scoring and then instantly getting scored on. Mrazek can only hold off so many SOG attempts until it's just overwhelming. He has been the reason we have been "in" 75%+ of the games we've

There's no stopping the looming three-goalie conundrum now. The sooner the Blackhawks accept that and stop riding Petr Mrázek so hard, the better for him — and for them.

Blackhawks are leaning on Petr Mrázek too heavily, and it’s bad for him and for them
The Blackhawks need to accept their three-goalie conundrum before they run Mrázek into the ground or, worse, get him injured.

This main event has been ruled and you have to wonder how better the atmosphere here would be without the women having ran through the exact same match just an hour and a half ago.

I really wonder if Sonic 3 will lead straight to a 4th movie or if we'll get a few mini-series and then a bigger overall final movie that includes Silver. I need a cursed Big the Cat animation.

Women's cage match was maybe the worst one they've put on so far. Shinsuke winning took me by surprise. This crowd has been up for things and then all of a sudden filled with pure silence. Very weird.

Blackhawks lead as we hit under 5 left in the 1st. Offense needs to spring to life and these refs need to stop watching us get tripped and doing absolutely nothing.
