Clinching The NBA Crown (June 16th)

Tonight's Game 6 of the 2015 NBA Finals promises to be a showdown for the ages.
Sitting in front of the Golden State Warriors, a golden opportunity to finally win an NBA Title, which is something that has eluded them for many decades.
Standing in the way of their glorious pursuit, the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team that has never been so close to permanently etching their names into the NBA record books.
And although their squad seems to be at a great disadvantage, LeBron James (A.K.A the most dominant NBA player of this generation) will certainly not go down without a fight.
However, if the Warriors are to finish off the 2014-2015 NBA season on this evening, they will be fulfilling the long-time dreams of more than their current roster.
Rather, a victory tonight will undoubtedly please a wide variety of legendary players who came before them.
Among a long list of names of Warriors' greats are players such as Mitch Richmond, Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway, Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, and Monta Ellis.
All of these iconic players were unable to obtain their ultimate goal while donning a Golden State uniform.
But tonight, Steve Kerr's 2014-2015 Golden State Warriors look to finish off the NBA season with their first championship in 40 seasons.

Ranking Every Song From Paramore's "After Laughter"

Following the relative success of my rankings of Taylor Swift's " folklore " and Maroon 5's " Red Pill Blues ", I've decided to make these posts a semi-regular occurrence.  As I've followed Paramore religiously for over a decade, this one seemed like the next logical choice. Without further adieu, let's dive into Paramore's 2017 release entitled "After Laughter", an album that saw the band adopt an entirely new sound. 12. No Friend Three years have passed and I still don't fully understand what "No Friend" is, but I'm not convinced it's a rankable song. It sounds more like a dramatic reading of a poem drowned out by one of Paramore's jam sessions. Congrats, Aaron Weiss? In any case, please let me know if there's more I can give you. 11. Idle Worship Perhaps suffering from being linked to "No Friend" in such an inseparable way, something about this track is just a tad unsettling. From its

Why Quidditch Is Totally Ridiculous (Yet We Still Love It)

Image
On June 26, 1997,  Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling introduced the world to a remarkable new sport called Quidditch. In theory, Rowling's invention is fairly simple. For those who are unfamiliar with the game, I will provide a brief description of its rules.  Quidditch is played in a 7-on-7 format on flying broomsticks. Each team features three "Chasers" who attempt to throw a large ball (called the Quaffle) past the opposing team's "Keeper" into one of three circular hoops.  Every time the Chasers succeed in beating the Keeper, their team is awarded 10 points. Meanwhile, there are a pair of bat-wielding "Beaters" on each team who add to the chaos by clubbing two smaller balls (called Bludgers) at their opposition. However, the most important position on the field is that of the "Seeker", which is Harry Potter's position on Gryffindor's Quidditch team during his time at Hogwarts.  Each team has one Seeker who scours t

TWD World Beyond: Brave (Episode 1.01)

Image
On Sunday, October 4, AMC aired the series premiere of World Beyond , the third installment in The Walking Dead franchise. Though billed as a limited series (featuring only two seasons with a total of 20 episodes), World Beyond generated much anticipation throughout the fandom for a variety of reasons -- the most obvious being further knowledge about a three-ring emblem spotted on helicopters in each of the franchise's two established series. In "What Comes After" [ The Walking Dead : Season 9, Episode 5], protagonist Rick Grimes is rescued by a helicopter featuring this mysterious emblem -- an emblem that reappears in "The End of Everything" [ Fear the Walking Dead : Season 5, Episode 5], when Althea Szewczyk-Przygocki (better known as Al) encounters a woman named Isabelle with a top-secret mission. As the fandom has now spent two years wondering about the reoccurring emblem, World Beyond promised to address their curiosity while presenting the "comin
