Put Some Respect on His Name
Forgive the lateness of this recap; so much goodness happened in the world of sports. It's typical of the month of October; the most chaotic month in the sports calendar. Hockey's in the early stages, the NFL is closing in on midseason form, baseball's on the verge of crowning a champion, the CFL is on the home stretch, and the NBA is coming. There's also the Sports Equinox, that one day of the year when the four main leagues all play at once, but that's later in the month.

NFL Week 6 Recap: Sunday Night Heat
Wow. We're at Week 6 already. The final week of the first one-third of the 2025 season, and we have arrived at that very point. Of course, the talk from Week 6 was the Sunday Night contest between the Detroit Lions and the Kansas City Chiefs, the latter coming off a Monday loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. They needed a big statement win on that evening, and they did get it. A 30-17 victory to bring them to .500 (3-3).

Restructuring the NFL
We have not added a new NFL team or a new State to the Union in a long time, but let's focus on the NFL. So, we should add 8 more teams to the NFL to make it 40, take two of the games from the pre-season and make them regular season games, realign the divisions to make them make more sense. Let's dive into the pre-season games.

What a World Series Title Would Mean for the Mariners
The Seattle Mariners have surprised everyone by becoming one of the best teams in the league. Currently, they're playing against the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS as they aim to win their first pennant in franchise history and make their first ever World Series appearance. Their late season surge and outlasting their division rivals, the Houston Astros, for the American League West crown, shows that they're dangerous and not here to play around. In case you've been living under a rock, the Mariners won the AL West title for the first time since 2001. They have greatly turned things around under manager Dan Wilson. Since the firing of Scott Servais, Wilson, who was a Mariners catcher and was part of the 2001 team that clinched the AL West title, deserves all the credit for getting this team to where they are today. Now, the Mariners have a chance to win the AL Pennant and make their first World Series appearance. Their last playoff appearance was back in the 2022 ALDS, where they were swept. I love a good underdog story, and the Mariners are an example of that.

2025 League Championship Series Preview
It's mid-October, folks, and you know what that means: it's LCS time! The League Championship Series has arrived; the last stop before the Fall Classic. Introduced in 1969 as a result of the American and National Leagues splitting into East and West Divisions (marking the start of Divisional Play), the League Championship Series originally served as the lone playoff round prior to the World Series, and was originally played under a best-of-five format for the first 16 seasons. It was in 1985 that the LCS increased to a best-of-seven format, but even so, the LCS still originally pitted the champions of the East and West Divisions against each other until 1995, when the LCS pitted the winners of the Division Series against each other.

Clash of Clashes
I'll be honest, I had long been over last year. How the Colorado Avalanche showed out in the playoffs, only to be cheated by referees who decided to allow Dallas' dirty hits while putting us in the box for simply breathing. How the Stars had a coach who continued to bully refs into ignoring their dirty plays, and who would bitch and moan when a game was fairly officiated and rightful calls went against the Stars. How for every one power play the Avs had in that series, the Stars had about six. And how Mikko Rantanen delivered the ultimate humiliation with a Game Seven hat trick.

15 Glorious Innings
The Detroit Tigers and the Seattle Mariners faced off in one hell of a Division Series, and that's an understatement. Game One went extras, needing 11 innings before the Tigers won it in Seattle. The Mariners took Games Two and Three, and looked to finish it in Game Four. Seattle led 3-0, but the Tigers took over; nine unanswered runs. The nine runs in Game Four stand as the most in a game in Tigers postseason history. Wow.
