Send us a textIn honor of Audre Lorde's 1985 essay, "Poetry Is Not a Luxury," I devoted the mini Holiday Break episodes of Talking About Kids to poetry about the holiday season and issues related to kids. For this final mini episode, I read a poem by Lorde, titled “Hanging Fire,” which is an honest and moving portrayal of adolescence. A link to the poem is at talkingaboutkids.com.

Maybe let's include a short story about Steve the Maple Leafs fan: Steve had worn the same blue Maple Leafs Jersey every playoff game since 2017. It was faded now, the collar frayed from years of nervous tugging, the logo cracked like old pavement. He was thirty-seven, born in Scarbs, raised on stories of '67, and still believed—stubbornly, stupidly—that this was the year.Auston Matthews was the reason he still believed. Steve had watched 34 become the best pure goal-scorer on the planet. He'd screamed himself hoarse when Auston buried that Michigan against Ottawa, cried actual tears (alone, in the dark) when he potted 60 in '22. Matthews was Toronto's messiah, the one who would finally deliver the city from four decades of exquisite torture. As long as 34 was on the ice, there was still math that could work out.Then came the 2025 playoffs. Steve watched in horror as the Toronto Maple Leafs blew a 3-1 series lead - but they didn't just blow it - they got annihilated on home ice twice in games 5 and 7. During that Game 7 the camera caught their Captain Auston defeated on the bench: shoulders slumped, mouth slightly open, eyes hollow. Not angry. Not sad. Just… done.Steve turned the TV off before the handshake line. He didn't need to see it.He didn't watch highlights. Didn't read the autopsy threads on Reddit. Didn't even open the group chat that had been alive since junior high. He just sat in his House, jersey still on, staring at the blank screen.. Steve told himself he was only flipping channels the next season. But then he saw this wonderful hockey team and stayed.Nathan MacKinnon was a hurricane in human form. Cale Makar moved like he'd been taught gravity as an optional setting. And the Avalanche played like they were personally offended by losing. Fast. Mean. Joyful. They didn't clutch, they didn't collapse, they just… won. MacKinnon took the puck coast to coast, split the defense like scissors through paper, and roofed it. The bench exploded. Makar jumped the boards to hug him like a little brother. The crowd in Ball Arena sounded like a jet engine. Steve felt something shift in his chest. Not betrayal, exactly. More like waking up in a room you didn't realize you'd been locked inside for twenty years. He started watching more. Quietly at first. Then he bought the red hat. Then the Makar jersey arrived (he told himself it was “just comfortable”). By the Holiday Break he was yelling at the TV again, but this time the yells ended in goals. He was screaming into a pillow so the neighbours wouldn't call the police. Alone. Steve stared at the screen for a long moment. He didn't feel smug. He didn't feel superior. He just felt… tired. Tired of waiting for someone to save him. Tired of loving a team that kept asking him to hurt. He pulled the old blue hoodie out of the closet one last time. Smoothed the cracked logo with his thumb. Then he folded it carefully, placed it in the bottom drawer, and closed it.The next morning he wore red. He still loved Auston Matthews. Probably always would. But love, Steve had finally learned, doesn't mean you have to keep bleeding for it. Sometimes you just skate away. And for the first time in his life, the ice felt like freedom instead of punishment... Go Avs Go he secretly whispered before heading into work the next day - This story is entirely accurate and Steve is currently living his life as an secret Avs fan.

On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis break down the Blackhawks' 4-1-1 stretch since the three-day holiday break and discuss why the time off came at the perfect moment for a team navigating the losses of Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar. The guys dive into head coach Jeff Blashill's impact during a low point, including his use of positive reinforcement after the ugly 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh and why he felt it was necessary. Pat and Charlie also discuss Tyler Bertuzzi's hot streak, the veterans stepping up with Bedard and Nazar out, and the goaltending of Spencer Knight and Arvid Söderblom finding their form again. The duo then weigh in on Bedard being left off Team Canada's initial 25-man Olympic roster and explain why Blashill struck the perfect tone in defending his player. They also touch on Team USA's roster and highlight notable omissions. They wrap up the show by discussing whether there could be any fallout between the Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night following Bedard's injury on Dec. 12 in the last meeting.

Each season the 70MM REJECTED crew unearths movies that haven't been selected by The Village and/or The Hosts of 70MM to make sure they get their moment in the sun. ACK! With the holidays season upon us, we wanted to make sure we gave everyone some time off, especially the amazing ladies working hard for wintHER. So we went back to the early days of the village when Paul, groogruxdave and Kev did an impromptu Mars Attacks watch along and posted it to an old podcast feed. ACK! We unearthed that recording to let you hear the awful audio from groogrux (glass case of conference room emotion, lol) and how Kev and Paul have always been audio perfection and movie insiders themselves. Don't forget to listen in to Kevs amazing Austin Danger Pod, you really should be by now.AND the new hot pod on the block, Laurie Strode Trap House, for all the 21st century grime/horror/alt media we have maybe tried to forget, but secretly we crave....Shout out to The Village and the hosts of 70MM for making a most excellent community.

Send us a textI am devoting these mini Holiday Break episodes of Talking About Kids to poetry about the holiday season and issues related to kids. In this second mini episode, I will read “Christmas Bells” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In it, Longfellow struggles to reconcile the feelings of peace and goodwill associated with the Holiday season with the American Civil War, which was waging at that time. That struggle seems relevant today. A link to the poem is at talkingaboutkids.com.

-Dan Vladar has been the guy in net-Flyers showing some depth without Tyson Foerster-A look at why Matvei Michkov will always be a story

There is something that feels really scary about taking time off from training, even when you know your body needs it. For many gymnasts and families, the holiday break comes with mixed emotions. Part of you is relieved to rest, and part of you is worried about losing skills or confidence right before competition season starts.I talk with athletes and parents every year who feel this exact fear. You have been working hard for months, and a few days away from the gym can feel like everything is on the line. That fear is very common in gymnastics and other year round sports, and it does not mean something is wrong with you or your training.In this episode, I explain why time off does not actually cause athletes to lose skills. What usually creates problems is what your mind expects to happen when you come back. If you expect to feel rusty or scared, your body often tightens up. Skills can feel off, thoughts start racing, and confidence drops. One small moment like that can grow into a bigger fear if you do not know how to respond.I also share why skills are not lost in a few days or even a week. Your body remembers far more than you think. The key is how you ease back in. Starting with basics, giving yourself time, and talking with your coach when something feels off helps you rebuild trust quickly instead of forcing yourself to push through fear.Throughout the episode, I focus on why mental training matters before there is a problem. Mental skills help you handle moments like breaks so they do not turn into stress or mental blocks. When you know how to check in with your brain and build confidence step by step, time off can actually help you come back more rested and more confident.In this episode, you will hear • Why holiday breaks feel so stressful for gymnasts and parents • Why fear after time off is normal • Why skills are rarely lost during short breaks • How small fears can grow if they are ignored • What to do to come back feeling calm and confidentIn this week's episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I talk about holiday breaks, fear of losing skills, and how mental training helps athletes rest and return with confidence.Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!

The January transfer window is coming, and the conditions are unusually volatile. Patrick and Ted discuss why this winter could see more movement than normal, driven by league parity, World Cup pressures, and clubs chasing narrow competitive margins. They analyze who should act and why, covering the title race, the top-four battle, and the growing risks for mid-table teams. Along the way, they examine Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Spurs, and several clubs facing difficult strategic choices. The episode closes with a wider look at Europe and relegation planning, highlighting why January spending is less about fixing everything and more about choosing the right problems to solve.

Send us a textIn her 1985 essay, "Poetry Is Not a Luxury," Audre Lorde argues that poetry gives form to ideas that are "formless" but none-the-less "felt," ideas that precede "understanding." I have always believed that Lorde is describing, among other things, historic and childhood trauma. In honor of this, I am devoting these mini Holiday Break episodes of Talking About Kids to poetry about the holiday season and issues related to kids. In this first episode, I will read Edgar Guest's poem, "A Friend's Greeting," which, as the name implies, is about a friendship. A link to the poem is at talkingaboutkids.com.

Holiday Break Announcement: No New Episodes for Two WeeksIn this brief holiday message, Kelle announces that there will be no new podcast episodes for the last two weeks of December. This break is to give her husband, who manages all the editing, some much-needed time off after dedicating himself to the task of post-op recovery nurse for two months non-stop. She humorously explains the concept of being 'overdone' and encourages listeners to take their own downtime if they are feeling cranky or exhausted. Kelle invites the audience to revisit over 400 past episodes during this break and promises to return with new content in the new year.00:00 Introduction and Holiday Greetings00:03 Announcement: No New Episodes00:18 Reason for the Break00:33 Signs of Being Overdone00:53 Taking Downtime00:58 Returning in the New Year01:11 Enjoy Past Episodes01:21 Final Holiday WishesIf you would like to learn more please book a Discovery Call here: https://kellesparta.com/discovery-call/Keywords:#SpiritSherpaLicensing and Credits:“Spirit Sherpa” is the sole property of Kelle Sparta Enterprises and is distributed under a Creative Commons: BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.

After a shaky start at Pinnacle Bank Arena against North Dakota, Jack and Kaleb try to identify what went so right in the second half that went so wrong in the first half (hint: not missing a million 3s).But the wild swings between halves were overshadowed by Berke Buyuktuncel getting the program's fourth-ever Triple Double, and you won't believe when Jack said he predicted it.Plus, whatever happened to sleepy, sparse crowds during Holiday Break buy games?Finally, the NCAA Tournament Meter admittedly didn't move much, but it somehow still created controversy about Jack's fatalism. Yet somehow, this accusation was being leveled as Jack was describing his fantasy about the next four weeks of the season, and, well, it's out there.
