Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/20/22


3 Up

1. Adonis Lattimore - Winning a state championship in any sport is difficult. How about winning a state championship in wrestling? Oh! And how about doing so with no legs?! Yeah, that happened. The story of Adonis Lattimore is tremendous - I really can't give it justice. Please seek it out and of course, check out the video of him competing. I love these stories to remind us of the power of the human spirit. 

2. NBA All-Star Weekend - Yeah, that dunk contest was bad (but hey, kudos to the sole representative of my Knicks, Obi Toppin, on the win - go figure). However, the NBA put on a super entertaining weekend highlighted by the NBA 75 Players ceremony. And oh yeah! -  there was everything that was Steph Curry doing unreal things in shooting a basketball during the All-Star Game.

BTW - Yes, I'm all about that MJ and Lebron photo - the GOATS, man!!! Can we stop pitting them against each other in stupid debates and just appreciate them both? Especially, LeBron who doesn't have many years left. 

3. Teen EMTs in Sacketts Harbor, NY - These teens saw a shortage of EMTs in their area following the height of COVID and became EMTs to help their town. Such a badass move by these individuals. Selfless. Amazing. Inspiring. 

3 Down

1. Ukraine/Russia - So yah, this situation isn't looking too good. Actually, EVERYTHING about this developing situation doesn't look too good. 

2. Kamilia Valieva's Camp - Nothing much to say here - this 15-year-old gets the "down" for doping - BUT she still was given the opportunity to compete for a medal. While Valieva is surely old enough to know she did wrong here, I'm putting the blame on the adults around here - they should know better. 

2A. International Olympic Committee - They let her skate - with complete eligibility for a medal. Shame on the IOC. 

3. COVID Canda Protests - Remember when we thought our neighbors to the North were to be envied? I'm moving to Canada! As of late, Canada is a country in turmoil surrounding COVID mandates. When some of the names from our media (ahem FOX New pundits) begin showing support, you know everything has gone crazy. 

1 Bad Judgement 

1. Juwan Howard & Greg Gard - After watching the video from their incident, I'm appalled at the two head coaches and their staff who ignited this ugly situation. They should know better. They are the adults in the room at that point. Just a bad job. Such a terrible look.

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 - 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...

Dome Pondering Movie Review: In a Relationship (2018)

What is it about?  Following the progression of two couples over the course of a summer.  Who is in it? Emma Roberts - Hallie Michael Ambrano - Owen Dree Hemingway - Willa Patrick Gibson - Matt Favorite Scene:  [Spoiler Alert] Matt and Villa sit on the stairs, and he admits to not wanting to introduce Willa to his parents.  Favorite Quote:  I don't... I don't think you ever find someone... you don't resent. And that's part of it. It's just... find the person you *want* to resent, you know. Review:  This was a weird film. The opener had much promise, but as the film continued, it felt like it was just getting longer.  My biggest gripe with the film is that I liked each of the characters less as I got to know them. I understand that the film attempted to highlight the modern relationship for a specific generation, and in certain ways, it succeeded in doing so. However, the characters never grew or became better people from their relationships...they just...
