Sunday Sundown Rundown - 3/3/19


3 Up

1. Dwyane Wade's Buzzer Beater - Buzzer beaters are often thrilling and shocking. I can't recall seeing one that was this unintentional and this hopeful - even including mid-court heaves . An incredible shot for one of the all-time greats in his final year playing.

2. Bryce Harper - Well, he finally got his money. And we got our answer regarding to where he'll play going forward. But give Bryce Harper some credit for laying out all out there and committing to Philadelphia for the next thirteen years. Should be interesting.

Oh BTW - Phillies Harper jerseys outsold Lakers' LeBron James jerseys in the first 30 hours. That's pretty damn impressive.

3. She Believes Cup Tribute - Sports takes the sweep in the "Up" column this week. The women of the United States wearing the names of other women who have inspired them was really cool. Very much looking forward to the World Cup this summer.

3 Down

1. Stephon Clark Ruling - So add a private backyard where black and brown bodies can be killed by police officers without cause. That's America. Just bloggin.

2. Alabama Tornado - The state of Alabama suffered great damage and devastation earlier today with multiple tornadoes landing. From the initial reports, the tornadoes have already killed 23 people. So sad.

3. Snowstorms - A good portion of the country is set to be hit with some sort of snow tomorrow. Ugh to snow. Ughhhhhh to snow in March. Where are you Spring?

1 Interesting 

1. New York Times Article on Border Stories - I wasn't sure where to place this. The insight of the article is tremendous, but the details are heartbreaking. Nonetheless, if you're looking to read or get some insight into what is going on down on the southern border, please read this article on a few women who were assaulted several times - including from our own border patrol. So sad.

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...

Dome Pondering Movie Review: The Man from Toronto (2022)

What is it about?  After an average screw-up is mistaken for an assassin, they must work together to accomplish the mission at hand to break free from other restraints as well.  Who is in it? Kevin Hart - Teddy Jackson Woody Harrelson - The Man from Toronto Favorite Scene:  Teddy is on his first assignment from The Man from Toronto and is in a conference room, and must find out key information. What happens next is Teddy's goofiness shining through awkwardly.  Favorite Quote:   Teddy: [About his minute photos] What's that, for your little serial killer wall? The Man From Toronto: You think you'd make the wall? Come on, man. You're barely fridge material. Review:  This one lasted on the "My Watch" list for a few years. After finally getting to it, I wasn't disappointed.  Woody Harrelson is one of those actors for me who typically isn't in bad stuff, so this one got the benefit of the doubt. While I love Kevin Hart, the trailer alone felt very similar to...
