The Golden State Valkyries are WNBA champions! They beat the Atlanta Dream 68-63 in Game 7 — the first Game 7 in WNBA Finals history — to win their first title in just their second season. Gabby Williams took over: 30 points and Finals MVP, with 28 of those points in the second half, the most points in any half in WNBA postseason history. Tip Hayes added 11. I'm so appreciative I got to see this team live at Chase Center this season — here are my three Shorts from the Valkyries vs Seattle Storm game at Ballhalla. Game night at Chase Center (Ballhalla): Flau'jae Johnson highlights from that night: And the sweetest moment of the night — a proposal at the game. Congratulations to the happy couple on their engagement! 💍 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/@kingoftheaffiliates — King of the Affiliates

This quick 25-second Short drops you onto a tour boat in Honey Island Swamp, in Louisiana's Pearl River Basin, just as the captain eases up to a muddy bank and scatters corn for the animals waiting in the trees. A whole group of wild hogs comes trotting out to the water's edge, close enough to the boat that you can pick out the big adults from the smaller, younger pigs pushing in for a bite. It is a fun, up-close look at how a swamp tour can turn into a wildlife encounter. Between the overhanging trees, the still bayou water and the hogs crowding the shoreline for their snack, the clip captures the wild, untamed feel of the Louisiana swamp in less than half a minute — no long excursion required to see why these feral hogs are such a memorable part of the Honey Island experience.

Retro wrestling fans are in for a treat with this tag-team showdown in WWE No Mercy on the Nintendo 64. Eddie Guerrero teams with Rob Van Dam, pairing Latino Heat's crafty, ground-based offense with RVD's high-flying, whole-body attack. Across the ring, Rikishi brings sheer size and power, while Kurt Angle adds Olympic-level grappling and intensity, making this a clash of four very different styles in one match. The fun of No Mercy is how quickly the momentum can swing. A smooth chain of reversals can turn into a heavyweight collision, a well-timed tag can save a partner, and every near fall builds the drama of a classic television tag bout. At 17 minutes and 47 seconds, this long-form gameplay video gives the matchup room to breathe, from the opening feeling-out process through the bigger exchanges late in the contest, all in the game's unmistakable Nintendo 64 presentation.

In this six-second Short, the camera rests at the edge of a quiet Louisiana bayou around Honey Island Swamp, where water hyacinth spreads in a thick green fringe along the still, murky water. At first glance the plant looks lush and harmless, even beautiful, and that good-looking surface is exactly what makes the story behind it so surprising. Water hyacinth is an aggressive invader in waterways like these. It multiplies fast, knits itself into dense floating mats, and can crowd out the native plants that wildlife depends on. Those mats also shade the water below, lower the oxygen available to fish and other creatures, and get in the way of boats trying to move through the bayou — a gorgeous flower building a very real ecological problem, one bloom at a time.

Retro wrestling does not get much more unpredictable than this tag-team matchup in WWE No Mercy on the Nintendo 64. Goldust and The Hurricane make for one of the most unusual pairings in the game, combining mind games and superhero flair, while Rikishi and Ric Flair bring a completely different mix of power and old-school ring craft to the other corner. Over the course of this long-form bout, the contrast in styles is what keeps things interesting. Rikishi uses his size to slow the pace and control the ring, Flair looks to pick his spots like a veteran, and Goldust and The Hurricane have to rely on quick tags and timing to stay in the fight. It is a great showcase for No Mercy grappling, tagging, and momentum, the systems that still make the N64 classic a favorite among wrestling game fans. Whether you grew up playing No Mercy with friends or you are discovering its roster for the first time, this is the kind of cross-era dream match the game was made for.

In just twenty seconds, this Short puts you on the water in Honey Island Swamp, looking up at the towering lift spans and old railroad trestles that cross the Pearl River on the Louisiana-Mississippi line. The camera drifts beneath the steelwork while cypress wetlands stretch out on either side, giving a boat-level view that you simply cannot get from the highway above. It is a quick taste of one of the wildest corners of southeast Louisiana, near Slidell and Pearl River, where the bayou is quiet, the river is wide, and every bridge tells part of the story of travel through the swamp. If you love hidden crossings, historic trestles, and the still, green edges of the Honey Island backcountry, this short crossing is well worth the ride. Enjoyed the tour?
