Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/28/13

3 Up

1. The NBA Playoffs - How can any basketball fan call March Madness "the best time" of the year?

2. Travis Hafner - The slugger has really fit in with the Yankees coming up clutch. Even legging out a triple - yes, a triple! - this week.

3. Warm weather weekends. Once my weekends aren't spent working...I'll be able to enjoy them again.

3 Down

1. Mother of Brother-Suspects in Boston Marathon Bombing - How can any mother have their child risk their lives for such an extreme cause?

2. Sports Talking Heads - Usually it's specific people in the sports world that do this, how anyone can really make sound and credible statements about the NFL Draft is asinine. No one has seen these players play enough to warrant judgement.

3. Working 37 hours in three days with a combined 11 hours of sleep is not cool. But in the end, is quite the professional self-rewarding feat. I just can't wait until the Summer.

WWE Wrestlemania XL Review: "I absolutely loved this Wrestlemania"

It's easy to get caught up and become a prisoner of the moment. Especially in today's world where the latest moment is ostracized, super-analyzed, and hyperbolized - it's very much the clickbait, social media, microwave society we live in.  Yet, even after acknowledging that (as well as my Tribal Chief, of course), I still come to this feeling that Wrestlemania XL is one of the best Wrestlemania's, ever.  Yes, ever!  I don't need Triple H's metrics and benchmarks to influence me. No, no, no! In terms of hype, storylines, payoffs, match quality, and just overall fun - this entire weekend was amazing.  I'm slightly skewed in my preference as well. This was my son's first Wrestlemania as a pro wrestling fan. Having him at my side cheering on his favorites, getting caught up in the drama, and even crying at the end of the night because his Tribal Chief lost to "that no good Cody" added to the overall appreciation of the event.  So yeah, I have some

DP Review of the Alternate Knicks Orange Jersey

One of the good aspects about having a blog and being truthful and honest about it, is the hindsight thought process it provides. DP devotees already know how much I love my New York Knicks, and how excited I was about their new jerseys last year. It was a new look that was desperately needed ( DP Review On Knicks New Uniforms ).  In reviewing those jerseys last year, I had the following comments in regards to then-rumors regarding the addition of an alternative orange jersey for the Knicks and overall NBA changes to the Christmas Day special jerseys:  "As long as we do not add an "alternative jersey" (I read rumors of an orange one - woof!) (and the league-wide Spanish jerseys are fine). And please, please - PLEASE - let's finally do away with the awful green jerseys we feel the need to wear on Christmas and St. Patrick's day! Pretty please!"
