Sunday Sundown Rundown - 12/27/20


3 Up

1. Christmas Day - Merry Christmas to all - I hope you all found unexpected happiness in what has been a challenging year. 

2. Nashville Police Officers - Timothy Miller, Breona Hosey, James Luellen, Michael Sipos, Amanda Topping, and James Wells - the six Nashville PD officers who raced into danger and alerted nearby citizens prior to the explosion that rocked the downtown areas of the city. Much respect.

 3. Karl-Anthony Towns - Watching the emotional Towns return to basketball was a tough site. After losing seven - yes, SEVEN - family members to COVID, including his mother, Towns struggled to return to the court for the first time since the tragic summer. More power to the dude. 

3 Down

1. Coronavirus Projections - I'm not sure if what we hear is more fear promotion or legit models, but with rising cases and the expectation out of this holiday season to be grim, this virus is not going away. We've already seen the most people traveling for the year, hitting marks prior to COVID in early 2020. 

2. Nashville Explosion - Horrible. Disgusting. And I wish media outlets would call it what it is - domestic terrorism. 

3. Andre Maurice Hill - Another one sad scenario of a black man being killed by a police officer.
