Sunday Sundown Rundown - 3/7/21


 3 Up

1. Meghan and Harry - WOW! I found myself flipping to this frequently in between the action of the All-Star Game because well, it's the NBA All-Star game, and really, what did it matter? Meghan spilled some serious tea, and while the insider disclosure was juicy, it revealed a much sadder and troubling side of the "Royalty" many praises. I can't wait to sit down and watch this outright. 

BTW - Oprah is a national treasure. 

2. "Bloody Sunday" Reminder - Today marks the 56th anniversary of the deadly encounter that happened on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. 56 Years later, and the right to vote is STILL a center for struggle. 

In a sobering thought, that violent encounter was JUST a mere 56 years ago - so many people are alive who endured to pushed the bar that much further for equality. So much appreciation and kudos to those who did. 

3. The Inside Story - I LOVE a good sports documentary, and the four-part series of one of the greatest studio sports shows of all-time, Inside the NBA, is very much worth the watch. Easily, my favorite in-studio sports show of all-time.

3 Down

1. State Bills to Restrict Voting - Ironically, on the day we remember Bloody Sunday, over 43 States have pushed forward over 100 bills for action that will reduce or suppress voting rights across the country. The bills add measures, remove sites, and use all sorts of random protocols to suppress the ability to vote for communities of color, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor. Why - WHY? - does our country continue to do this?

2. Myanmar Protests - Protests continue to rage in the country of Myanmar as democracy hangs by a thread. This week saw the deadliest of encounters in a situation that continues to pull apart a country. 

3. Coming 2 America - I touched base on the film here with my review. SMH. Why did they make this movie? 

1 Interesting

1. Governor Cuomo - Is there anyone a bigger candidate for the biggest fall of the year (thus far) than Cuomo. And really, if the allegations are true, doesn't he deserve it? 

1 Eh

1. NBA All-Star Weekend Night - The Three-point competition was fun. Other than that, the event felt long, and never got out of second gear. Besides the three-point competition, watching Steph Curry and Damian Lillard hoist and make shots with ease from half-court during the game was awesome. Other than that? 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...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 8/27/17

3 Up 1. MLB Players Weekend - The (insane) traditionalists had a problem with it, but the weekend produced plenty of fun games and moments, and gave fans and players a really cool weekend to be themselves and enjoy the game. I have a ton of stuff to share in the next Dope Sports Threads. Overall, can't wait for the next one... 2. MTV VMA's - Look, there were moments I had no idea what was going on, and I thought Katy Perry was incredibly awkward as the host. However, the moments that promoted fights against hate and empowered people to be themselves were awesome. Especially, Pink's speech - such good stuff. The VMA's still have plenty of work to do though under their new management. 3. Giancarlo Stanton - I think he just hit another home run. The guy has 50(!) and we're not into September, yet. Can he hit 63? Should be interesting going forward if he can stay hot.  3 Down 1. Hurricane Harvey - The devastation and flooding going on in South Texas...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/11/19

3 Up 1. Eva Ramon Gallegos Cure HPV - Could Cervical Cancer be a thing of the past? It very much looks like it as after twenty years of work, Gallegos has found a cure that completely eliminates the cancer. This is remarkable work, and it's pretty awesome to see the Mexican Medical community come together proudly in this achievement. 2. "This is America" Grammy - Finally!! Childish Gambino got some national love for the work he did on this great song, and even more so, on the overall art/video that was "This is America". Of course, he wasn't there to pick it up as the Grammys and their long standing issue with the hip-hop community continues... 3. Women at SOTU - Women continue to be bad ass in the current age. Their solidarity within the Capitol for the President's SOTU was a great sight to see. 3 Down 1. Venezuela Crisis - The country of Venezuela is in absolute shambles right now as they tussle over leadership, and really, a move toward d...
