All indications, on the very morning this game is to take place, is that it indeed will be played as scheduled – which is somewhat surprising in itself. It’s the Alabama Crimson Tide (12-0) vs. the Ohio State Buckeyes (7-0). And while Alabama has the Roll Tide tsunami going for it, Ohio just celebrated last night, after the Cleveland Browns won its first playoff game in decades. So who knows? So far in 2021 (I know it’s early in the year, but still), anyone counting on stabilit

This proudly weird eight-part Spanish miniseries continues tonight with Episode 3 – and if you weren’t thrown by last week’s two-hour premiere outing, in which a humanoid baby emerged from a cow and morphed into a deadly giant spider… well, tonight things get weird.

Yesterday, one of the three wild card playoff games was a nail-biter to the end: the Indianapolis Colts-Buffalo Bills game, which the Bills emerged victoriously 27-24 after a long series of challenges and twists and turns. Today, once again, three games are played in a rare post-season tripleheader – but today, you may have to go farther afield to find the right field, or, at least, the right network.

On Wednesday, Nancy Pelosi was one of the politicians targeted, and ushered to safety, when a mob egged on by President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. Four days later, she’s a featured interview on 60 Minutes, discussing the deadly assault, and what she thinks should happen next to the still-current occupant of the White House, with Lesley Stahl.
