Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/7/13

3 Up

1. Wrestlemania 29 - Definitely knocking a huge one off the bucket list today. Yours truly is finally attending one. Hopefully, first of many more to come.

2. Brian Banks Dream Fulfilled- After spending five years behind bars for a crime he did not commit, Banks achieved his dream of scoring an NFL contract.

3. Michigan Basketball - It's been a long road since the days of the "Fab Five" and how the group not only put Michigan basketball in the public's eye, but also tore it down for years to come (Looking at you Chris Webber!). Nonetheless, they are back, and one win away from hanging a banner in Ann Arbor.

3 Down

1. Death of American Diplomat, Anne Smedinghoff - Always sad to see one of our brave men and women that love and honor this country killed overseas in a gutless bomb attack. 

2. Mike Rice/Rutger's Situation - Still cannot believe this is a story in the year 2013. College athletics at the DI level is riddled with more crime, deceit, and unetheical behavior than Washington D.C. Is college athletics even about students anymore?

3. North Korea Nuclear Missle Launch Threat - Seriously? C'mon, Kim!

What is it about? A recent high school graduate cares for his mother while attempting to navigate his first relationship following his father's suicide.  Who is in it?

We don't always have to have everything figured out, and it's okay if you don't.  What makes Say You Will so beautiful is that all of the characters are carrying some inner struggle that connects them in the moment and time that helps them through whatever it is. The unlike...

Trying to Stay Mellow on Melo and his "Brand"

(Courtesy: NYTimes/Richard Perry) Alright, fire up the rant machine after this one folks.  "What's understood doesn't need to be spoken upon" #DestiNY #TheFutureIsNow — Carmelo Anthony (@carmeloanthony) June 26, 2015 Carmelo Anthony really hasn't been winning any points with me lately. None. I've been indifferent on him even as the years have gone on and the Knicks fanbase continues to split on supporting him. Lately, I've been creeping over to the negative side. For me, a big deciding factor was when he decided to play in the Knicks game in London and in the meaningless All-Star Game to continue "building his brand", and thus delaying his needed knee surgery to the point of affecting his return for this upcoming 15-16 season.
