The IF Factor: Questions Answered #171-180

171. If you could go back in time, as yourself, to live for one year at any point in history, what year would you choose, and where would you go?

I would love to go back to Junior High School as I had a lot of fun and had many memories there. However, for the sake of redemption and a clear do-over, I will select my senior year of college. I would love to have that year over, and possibly handle a few things differently. And heck, maybe even blog throughout it.

172. If you were to receive a letter today from anyone you have known during your lifetime, who would it be from and what would it say?

From my brother. It would say, "sorry (to me and my family), I was a total idiot".

173. If you could have received a telegram from one famous person now alive, who would it be from, and what would it say?

Mariano Rivera. It would say, "Dear friend and my biggest fan, please come down to Panama with me, and I will show you how to throw the cutter."

174. If you were to be successful in another profession, what would you want to do?

Ohh, probably something in the communications field. But I love athletics, events, and recreation. No change planned in the future.

175. If you had to spend all of your vacations for the rest of your life in the same place, where would you go?

Tough one. Probably, St. Lucia.

176. If you won a lottery, what is the first thing you would do?

I would buy my parents a house.

177. If you could be a member of any club or association in the world, what would it be?

I've always been a loner. I'm not sure there is a club or association I'm dying to be a part of. Maybe, I'd help volunteer for the Boys and Girls Club of America.

178. If you were given $5,000 to spend in one store in the world, where would you do your shopping?

Best Buy. Hello 80" television.

179. If you were to perform in the circus, what would you do?

Coordinate each event. I'm definitely not circus talent material.

180. If you could master one type of cuisine, which one would you choose?

I would say Mexican, because it's my favorite, but I'd go with Italian because it sounds impressive.

A Product of Us: Thoughts on Durant Trade

I said back in July when Kevin Durant rocked the NBA world with his trade request, that he "showed us who he was". It wasn't a negative comment, but one that encompasses his entire career being a product of our current sport climate - success and focus on legacy. We emphasize the value of a career on rings, and thus, Durant has too. Why wouldn't he?! Upon waking up and realizing that Durant will don the purple and orange for the Phoenix Suns in what is clearly now a team to watch come the NBA Playoffs, I find myself further pondering if Kevin Durant is the prime result of what we - yes, us! - have done to the modern athlete. Today, Durant is one of the greatest basketball players I've ever seen. EVER. The dude is rare. He's a seven-foot magician which makes defending him even more difficult based on how damn efficient he is on the basketball court. It's downright poetic and beautiful to watch Durant play. And yes, I'm romanticizing his game. I belie

Jordan Make-A-Wish Record - MJ is often loved through nostalgia, narrative, and remembrance for being politically neutral - even in giving. MJ these days has made some influential contributions, including this latest $10M donation to the Make-A-Wish foundation. 3. WWE Elimination Chamber - A tremendously entertaining pay-per-view on the road to Wrestlemania. The best storyline in pro wrestling continues to evolve between Sami Zayn and the Bloodline. 3A.

Michigan State Shooting - We're broken. Very broken. My thoughts and prayers are with those friends and fam

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/5/23

3 Up 1. Beyonce History - The Queen made history at the Grammys with her 32nd (!!) win. The number alone sounds absolutely ridiculous, but after all, it's Beyonce we are discussing here. Congrats to Queen B. 2. Viola Davis - We're going career acknowledgment this weekend and up next is the wonderfully talented, Viola Davis. Davis entered that rarified air in entertainment rounding out her "EGOT" with a Grammy win. Every time you think about an EGOT, it makes you appreciate just how damn talented you must be to be in that conversation. 3. Tom Brady Career - And then there is Brady, who finally called it a career. It's wild to think I was a teenager watching Tom Brady win his first Super Bowl. Congrats to Brady on a remarkable career. 3 Down 1.

Favorite Quote: "How do you choose between family and your dream?" "How do you choose between family and your dream?" Review: I first saw Uncorked on Netflix during the height of the pandemic lockdown when we all had nothing else better to do than watch television. So of course, go figure, after testing positive for COVID this week, your boy felt miserable nothing better to do while dealing with sever symptoms that watch a movie. The film was as
