Sunday Sundown Rundown

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 10/23/22

3 Up

1. Hearing Aids Over Counter - This is pretty cool even though we expected this. Sure, we can go into a deeper (more negative) discussion on the American healthcare system, but let's keep it positive. It is innovations and access like this that will help SO many in a significant way. Oh, the possibilities!

Yes, that was some sarcasm.

2. Emmett Till Statue - Much like above, there is a deeper discussion on Emmett Till, however, the positive is that a statue of Till is now present in Mississippi. We should NEVER forget Till and everything his death represents in the history and the fabric within the thread of our country's existence.

3. Philadelphia Phillies - They barely qualified for the playoffs, and here they are as 2022 National League Champions. Who had this predicted?!

Shout out to Bryce Harper finally getting to this stage and delivering in a big way.

3 Down

1. Kanye West - Okay, yes, this week West gets the top "down" spot. He's been consistent enough, right? West continues an ever-winding story about an individual - himself - that we've never seen before. What a turn of events...

Also, in the present, the dude just flat-out says some awful things. All in the name of "free speech".

1A. Adidas - Hey, are you guys going to do anything? Probably not.

2. Liz Truss Resignation - Apparently no one wants to be in charge of the United Kingdom.

3. Yankees Fans - Yes, the ALCS has been probably the toughest series to endure that I can remember since 2012 (against the Tigers). But the current complaining and outright rants come off as whiny, complaining, and spoiled more than an educated fanbase upset with recent performance.

There is a difference.

3 Interesting

1. Midterm Elections - From what I'm reading, most of America feels more confident with selecting Republicans moving forward. Honestly, I can't blame them as Democrats have really led a lackluster ship since 2020. Just thoughts from this independent voter.

2. Student Debt Relief Plan - Biden's Debt Relief plan was blocked by the Supreme Court. Honestly, I'm not sure I understand the viewpoint of those who oppose this bill.

3. Trump Subpoenaed Jan 6th - That says it all...

Stay tuned this week, I guess.

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...

The Pondering 10 - Favorite Knicks Head Coaches

I'm still on a championship high (probably until Banner night in October to be honest), so I'm dropping more Pondering 10s as my brain (and heart) works through all of the emotions and reflection from my beloved New York Knicks - 2025-2026 NBA Champions! Let's talk coaches. We've been through so many. My fellow Knicks fans, we've seen so many coaches walk the sidelines of Madison Square Garden, and the recent championship is so amazing to think about - Mike Brown, one year, title. With that said, here is a list of my favorite Knicks Coaches (in my lifetime, so no Red Holtzman). It's tougher than you think, but we're doing it. To begin, here are those banned from this list. On the sheer qualifier that these coaches - by fault of their own, or maybe not - will always resonate with disdain and the lowest of the lows. Derek Fisher Oh, the Phil Jackson era. When we were given a coach who had never done so before, implementing the triangle offense was more im...
