(Super) Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/2/14

3 Up

1. President Obama - Despite a State of the Union address that left yours truly on the fence (2014 State of the Union Reaction), how the President handled his now traditional pre-Super Bowl interview, this time with Bill O'Reilly, was pure class. O'Reilly was obnoxious, pushy, and combative, but the POTUS stayed poised and answered some tough questions pretty well.

2. Super Bowl Halftime - Bruno Marks killed it. Red Hot Chilli Peppers were awesome. Actually, they were the best part of Super Bowl Sunday.

3. European Wrestling Fans - This past week TNA Wrestling had their annual UK tour and all of the shows were said to have been fantastic. In fact, the unofficial challenge has been thrown out to U.S. fans and others all over the globe as the UK showed how passionate they are about the art form.

3 Down

1. Super Bowl - Ugh, what a snooze fest. I know it's really not the fault of anyone (well, sort of the Broncos fault), but that was as they say, "the runs". Well, at least baseball is one the horizon. Yes!

2. Philip Seymour Hoffman's Death - I hate hearing stories about talented individuals who have had their lives cut short due to self-inflicted demons. No death is greater than another, but there is something about the ones where you knew the person was their own worst enemy.

3. Chris Christie - Christie went from a guy that was heralded for his handling of Hurricance Sandy and even thought of as a possible Presidential candidate to now being wrapped up in corruption and now this story. Politics, eh?

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

Knicks Postseason 2026, NBA Finals vs. San Antonio Spurs

Part of me is in disbelief that we are here...the other part is raging and ready to go. Four more wins! Let's. GO! So much of this NBA Finals feels poetic, historical, and dream-worthy, for so many reasons, to so many different parties. This includes the NBA office. I'm sure they are loving this matchup for their biggest stage.  While defeating the Spurs does exercise some demons from 1999, I'm not sure I care about that at all. As noted from my thoughts in the Eastern Conference Finals, at this point, just win. Review Thoughts from Round 1 Review Thoughts from Round 2 Review Thoughts from Eastern Conference Finals Just. Win.  I don't care who the opponent is. The narrative that comes with it, or how we do it.  Just. Win. The NBA Cup win seems like whiteboard material for them, yet a serving example for us to match up with them. Again, it doesn't matter. Both teams are completely different beasts since November, through growth and experience.  This all comes down to...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 6/7/26

Sunday Sunday Rundown (formerly in the format of "3 Up and 3 Down") is where I share thoughts on three topics that piqued my interest along with my favorite photo from the week.  Artificial Intelligence in K-12 This week, I had the opportunity to talk to two dads who work in K-12 education. One is a teacher, and the other is a tech engineer who provides the digital infrastructure for a school district. What I came away with was that artificial intelligence was being slowly integrated into teachers' everyday lives, with some restrictions. However, the tech engineer gave me real insight (with real-time laptop evidence) of some of the tools being built to automate everything from bus schedules and communications to medical visits and disciplinary processes.  All of that to say, just when you think you understand the power of A.I., there are so many levels to it all .  So many...
