The IF Factor: Questions Answered #401-410

401. If you could have an entire city depopulated to explore with a friend for one week, what city would it be, and what would you do?

I would love to go back to Rome, depopulated, and be able to explore the entire city. Rome is charming in all of its ancient-ness, but a lot of the frustration comes with so many other tourists making the exploration difficult and time consuming. However, let's leave the people who work in the gelato shops. I'll most likely be frequenting them several times through the week. 

402. If you did not work, how much TV would you watch every day?

Not much. I rarely watch TV as is. Sometimes I feel odd...which I know seems odd...in saying that. But, compared to the average person, I don't watch much TV and/or TV programs. Sports and Pro wrestling with a handful of shows is really all there is for me. 

403. If you had to pick the TV personality you were most in love with as a kid, who would it be?

Easy..."Macho Man" Randy Savage. The dude was the man. How could you not love Macho Man?

404. If you were to make any hotel room your home for a year, where would it be?

Any villa suite room on a beach in the Caribbean. I'll pretty much be good there for a year. More precisely, I'll go with one of the virgin islands. 

405. If you could redesign the uniforms of any sports team, which team would it be, and what changes would you make?

Oh, there are so many of them. However, I will go with the San Diego Padres in MLB as they are the immediate franchise that comes to mind. Why? The uniforms are so uncreative. I would look to add more style and personality from the city of San Diego to the uniforms and fonts as well.

406. If you had to name the hardest position to play in sports, what would you say it is?

I'm sure everyone and their cousin will immediately blurt out "Quarterback!" However, contrary to popular belief, I am going with a catcher in Major League Baseball. These dudes get beat up, playing  over a hundred times a year, and have not only the pitches of their 11 (or 12) man pitching staff to memorize, but also the strengths and weaknesses of each hitter in the entire league. And oh yeah, after all of that, they too have to do the hardest proven thing in sports - hit a baseball. 

407. If you were to define the word "courage" by giving an example, how would you do it?

My parents moving to a new country with no money, no friends, no jobs, and pretty much no education and  still believing. In my eyes, that's courage. 

408. If you could had to be addicted to one thing, what would it be?

Jesus. That's an addiction that would make life so much richer. Imagine, being addicted to Jesus? 

409. If you could remove the ability to hate from one person in the world today, who would it be?

Hmm, just one? OK, I pick whoever the top and most influential terrorist is currently right now. Let's change his heart to one of love and see how many hearts he can affect as well. 

410. If you could run any existing charity, which would it be?

This is a good one. I'm not sure if me running a specific charity would do anything, or even if I would look to change the mission of said charity. With that said, I guess I'll go with the Boys and Girls Club of America.

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...

WWE Clash in Italy 2026 Review: "I'm intrigued for what's to come this summer"

A lot of pro wrestling seems stuck in the mud right now. Nothing is terrible, but nothing outright moves me. As some of the summer's biggest shows hit the forefront of our minds, Clash in Italy felt like the kind of show that could jump-start some intrigue as the summer begins to take shape.  At the very least, WWE overseas has become intriguing for the amazing atmosphere typically seen at these shows. Italy didn't disappoint. And seeing that the WWE stacked this card quite a bit, it was a show that stood out as a can't-miss on a Sunday afternoon.  Simply put, Clash at Italy was great. And, it did its job - I enjoyed some pro wrestling on a Sunday afternoon, and I'm intrigued for what's to come this summer.  Some other thoughts from Clash in Italy (2026):  Random Tidbits The reduced stage setup is still cool in my opinion. I don't think elaborate stages are necessary for larger events, especially at the expense of additional seats being filled. I know this has ...
