After another busy week, we have another jam packed issue.Welcome to the Entertainment Report!
A quick announcement, this Saturday I will be going to the ROH live show at Turner Hall. At the moment I plan on live tweeting results from the event throughout the night. My full recap will be apart of next week issue, as well as some pictures.
This week I have pictures from Admirals game on Sunday afternoon that CJ and I went to. Also this week, two NHL theme sections have started up and look for more as the season goes on.
As per usual the mailbag was empty but on Twitter, our newtwitter account, @EReport1, got retweets from @Travlord and the @EastCoastCast. Also my World Juniors coverage led to a shout out from @RoyalFlyer05. Thank you very much as always. Please help spread the word some more.
Alright, it’s a busy week so let’s get into it…
Blake: 0-4 (2-6)
Joe: 1-3 (4-4)

Ravens @ Patriots
Joe Flacco led his team to unbelievable deep passes down field to Torrey Smith, but he was himself % wise. If the Patriots Corners don't watch out, it could be a long night. The top 3 Deep Ball Passers in the NFL Flacco can easily kill the Patriots Defense, but with the Top QB in the playoffs remaining, Minus the Loss of Gronk and Woodhead (Shane Vereen the 2nd year back stepped up to fullfill the loss) LOOK for Ray Lewis and the Ravens to leave this all on the line! I give a punchers chance to the Ravens but Still pick the Patriots... 21-17
49ers @ Falcons
The Colin Kaepernick experience made us all feel dumb when we picked the Packers last week... He was DOMINANT! I expect the same thing this week, the Falcons surprised me, especially Matt Ryan who no matter how many times and no matter the score, when he was down orchestrated a THRILLING come back drive.... Matty Ice is hot and is going to ride the streak into San Fran.. this game honestly is a toss up and if I was a betting man would say PLEASE STAY AWAY lol..... but I will take the 49ers by a Field Goal...
Welcome to part two of my NHL preview. Today I will be
posting my predictions of who I think will make the playoffs after the
shortened season. So here go…
Eastern Conference
Results
- Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez defeated Matt Morgan and Joey Ryan to retain the TNA World Tag Team Championship when Guerrero pinned Ryan
- Mr. Anderson pinned Samoa Joe
- Christian York pinned Kenny King to become the #1 Contender for the TNA X Division Championship
- Rob Van Dam pinned Christian York to retain the TNA X Division Championship
- Velvet Sky won the Gauntlet match to become the #1 Contender for the TNA Knockouts Championship
- Gail Kim pinned Miss Tessmacher
- Gail Kim pinned ODB
- Gail Kim pinned Mickie James
- Velvet Sky pinned Gail Kim
- Christopher Daniels pinned James Storm to become the #1 Contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
- Sting pinned D.O.C.
- Jeff Hardy retained the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
- Jeff Hardy pinned Bobby Roode
- Jeff Hardy pinned Austin Aries
This was not the start to the new PPV format that I was expecting. Not much truly happened. No titles changed hands and Ace & Eights still look really weak. I’m happy to see Daniels win the #1 Contendership though; he deserves to get a real title shot. Also I’m happy to see them advance Kenny King’s character, I hope he’s the next X Division Champion.
Saturday night the Eastern Conference Champions will begin their season visiting the New York Islanders.Their home opener is against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. That game will be on the NBC Sports Network.
All streaks have to come to an end and that’s what happened here. The Rivermen came out and dominated the game from the start.
1/12/13-
After a goal duel between the Admirals’ Magnus Hellberg (32 saves) and the Icehogs’ Carter Hutton (24 saves), Joonas Jarvien finally broke the scoreless tie to give
1/13/13-
In a very oddly paced game, theAds dropped third game in a row, fourth in five, and second straight game to Peoira, 3-2 in a shootout. SergeyAndronov won the game for the Rivermen. Ben Ryan opened the scoring in the first for the Ads on a goal that had to be reviewed and after Peoria took a 2-1 lead in the third, Taylor Beck tied it up for Milwaukee .
This week the Ads head to Abbotsford to play back to back game on Saturday and Sunday night against the Heat before returning home Wednesday night to play the Houston Aeros.
Dating back to the beginning of professional sports, there has always been a rivalry between teams. Whether it’s the Dodgers and Giants, the Yankees and Red Sox, or the Cowboys and Redskins, everyone is going to have these games circled on their calendars the instant the schedule is released. In late fall when the Major Indoor Soccer League schedule is released, you can guarantee, that the first thing most fans look for is when Baltimore faces Milwaukee. So needless to say, this past Saturday was circled on everyone’s calendar. Having lost 3 straight games in the Midwest already this season, two games to the Soul, with the most recent loss coming the previous night, and one loss in Milwaukee earlier in the year, the Blast were coming in to the U.S. Cellular Arena hoping to correct the ship as a loss would push them back into second place behind the Wave. Whenever these two teams play, there is a championship-esque feeling in the atmosphere. It’s only fitting considering these two teams have met in the last two championships with Milwaukee coming out on top both seasons. Baltimore started the scoring midway through the first quarter with an unassisted goal from Tony Donatelli to take a 2-0 lead. Less than two minutes later, a goal from Machel Millwood forced a 4-0 lead over the Wave. Goals by Milwaukee’s Fabinho and Ian Bennett tied the game at 4-4 going in to the break. Ian Bennett then broke the deadlock in the third quarter when he finished off his second goal of the afternoon. This was short lived as Baltimore’s Lucas Roque was able to finish off his only goal of the evening. Target forward Tenzin Rampa who has been on a scoring streak as of late, finished off his 4th goal in 6 games to take the lead for what the Wave thought would be the game winner. With just over 2 minutes remaining in the game Baltimore’s Tony Donatelli found the net once again to tie the game at 8. Shortly after the goal was scored, the cards began to fly, with a few thrown elbows and extracurricular activity. A yellow card issued to Mike Lookingland proved to be disastrous to the Blast just minutes before the end of regulation. Losing their captain and most talented defender was not something that Baltimore needed in the most intense quarter of the game. Another yellow card and blue card issued to Adriano Dos Santos, gave the Wave a penalty late which would carry over to the overtime session if the team were not to score. Due to the yellow card, Lucio Gonzaga was forced to serve the 2-minute minor. With just 38 seconds into overtime, defender Josh Rife, found the ball on the back post and walked in the game winning goal with just 2 seconds remaining in the power-play to lead the Wave to a 10-8 victory, and sole position of first place in the MISL.
Next game is Friday in Chicago at 7:30 before returning home to face the very same Chicago Soul at the US. Cellular Arena on Saturday
Congrats to the newest Diva champion, Kaitlyn. I might have been surprised if the wrestling nerds on the Interwebs (and in my house) would have shut their yaps about Eve leaving the WWE. With the Internet in play, surprises in wrestling come about as often as a pair of non-silicone boobs - and I'm not talking about Sandow and Rhodes. You're welcome.
You hear that marks? Stop ruining everything! There are few things in life that we have no control over knowing: the flavors in a variety box of chocolates, how Miley is a skank over T-Swift, why Dolph Ziggler is not constantly in a hairdresser's chair maintaining his extraordinarily manly platinum locks...let us have something! Anyway...
I have to admit that I have a wee bit of a girl crush on Kaitlyn. Any girl that can do the robot as well as I can deserves a spot on my "If I Were Into Girls" list. You can't deny that she's come a long way from her days of insulting Vickie on a weekly basis via drawings and costumes. And any person that can rebound from a "---busters" gimmick (Trent Barreta and Caylen Croft who? And yes, I had to Google that.) should be rewarded with a push. So again, a hearty congratulations to our favorite Pepe Le Pew lookalike for winning the most prestigious award for a female sports entertainer...a pink and purple sparkly butterfly. Way to stick with stereotypes, Vince.
To go with the biker/punk/goth/lover of black thing she's got going on, I'd pair Kaitlyn with this black holographic pendant. It's a little badass and a little girly, just like her.
Random Thought: Whatever happened to Celebrity Deathmatch? I read in an interview that Kaitlyn hates The Big Bang Theory, one of my personal faves. Just picture a Kaitlyn/Kaley Cuoco cat fight - you're welcome for the visual, boys. But really, I think Penny could take her or at least knock her out with a Vickie-esque version of Soft Kitty. OR we could pair them up and have a tag team match between AJ and someone almost as crazy as her...Amy Farrah Fowler. Are you reading this MTV? I'm giving you GOLD! Which is what the Divas belt should be. *sigh*
Until next week, stay Puzzled and Polished!
