2013 DP All-Star Clash - 1st Round (Pawnee, Indiana Bracket)


Here are the updated brackets:



[Reminder: The first round selected topics for the first round: 1. Greatest Accomplishment 2. Most Likely to Lead in a Musical and the Man'ti Teo topic, 3. Least likely to have an Imaginary Girlfriend.]

#1 LeBron James vs. Boobie Miles


1. Greatest Accomplishment - Unfortunately, this is a lopsided comparison. Boobie never made it, and well LeBron has become quite a big deal. High School football vs. NBA Championship doesn't seem quite comparable. (James 1-0). 

2. Most Likely to Lead in a Musical - Boobie had charisma and some flare that was more genuine and real than LeBron. After all, "God made Boobie beautiful!" But in the end, LeBron in anything - anything! - sells. Easy sweep! (James wins 2-0).

#4 Eva Longora vs. #5 Mark Wahlberg


1. Greatest Accomplishment - Stardom from Desperate Housewives vs. Resurrected (and successful) career after a failed music career. Coming back from Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch to being respected as an actor in Hollywood is pretty damn impressive. Everyone has to respect that. (Wahlberg 1-0)

2. Most Likely to lead in a Musical - Both of these talents can lead a musical, however, once again, I'll have to go with Marky Mar...err Mark Wahlberg as being the better draw for a musical. My logical here. Women love musicals. Women love Marky Mar...er Mark Wahlberg. It's academic. Shame too, Eva Longoria is just so beautiful, I'd like to have her move on just because... (Wahlberg wins 2-0). 

#3 James Bond vs. #6 Carmelo Anthony


1. Greatest Accomplishment - Unfortunately, Carmelo Anthony's biggest accomplishment is still heralded as winning a national title for Syracuse (Hopefully for this Knicks fan, that changes). You know, all Bond ever does is save the world from terrorist organizations. Not even close. (Bond 1-0)

2. Most Likely to Lead in a Musical - This bracket really has been easy. Bond in a musical? Ha! And we know Carmelo secretly loves attention. (Tied 1-1). 

3. Least Likely to have an imaginary girlfriend/boyfriend - While Bond may have some pretty gorgeous women, or "Bond women" as they have come to be known, Carmelo Anthony is married to a pretty beautiful women himself. And there is no making that up. Plus, Bond is in espionage. They always tell a lie or two...or five hundred. (Anthony wins 2-1). 

#2 Mit Romney vs. #7 Carly Rae Jespen


1. Greatest Accomplishment - Governor of Massachusetts vs. Call Me Maybe. Unfortunately, only one of those things will be remembered ten years from now, and sadly it is this...(Jespen 1-0)

2. Most Likely to be in a Musical - Like Bloomberg in another bracket, Romney really lacks in connecting with a crowd in public appearances. As for Carly Rae Jespen, she just fits the musical type if she needed to be. I'm sure she's already been on Glee. Big upset here. (Jespen wins 2-0).

AEW All IN: London (2023) Review: "This large of a crowd for an event that wasn't the WWE!"

I'm obviously registering these thoughts incredibly late, but such is the current state of pro wrestling right now - there is just so much going on, and so much to enjoy. It's a great time to be a fan, regardless of where your tribalism fandom falls - if you carry such allegiances.  I'm sure no matter what product you find entertaining, you circled AEW's All In event from Wembley Stadium as a must-watch. I don't care about someone else's "take" on the attendance total - I couldn't care less if it was the record for a pro wrestling event or not - what AEW was able to accomplish is absolutely amazing! Four years in, and the company produced an event on the levels of Wrestlemania in terms of attendance and business - that's damn impressive! Tony Khan and the entire company deserve loads of credit for taking that leap because it very much could have failed. They took a chance, and absolutely delivered (and so much more), and proved there is a subs

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 9/10/23

3 Up 1. Coco Gauf & Novak Djokovic - The US Open wrapped up this weekend and tennis crowned some deserving champions. Djokovic continues to add to a remarkable career with his 24th (!!) grand slam title win. And of course, Coco Gauff won over America with her win. It's impressive to see the effect that the Williams sisters have had on tennis - wow. Looking forward to seeing the star Gauff will become.  2. Olivia Rodrigo - Her first album was fire. Even this late-thirties male enjoyed it. The sophomore album is always the toughest and Rodrigo apparently (haven't listened to it myself, yet) dropped an absolute banger in "Guts". So much so, that it broke records for debut stream with over 60 million streams!  3. Deion Sanders - There's way to much dialogue around Sanders that isn't needed. Here is what it boils down to for me - Sanders took over a program that was 1-11. He brought in 80+ players. His team is currently 2-0, including victories over a ranked op

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 9/3/23

3 Up  1. Labor Day Weekend - It's the weekend where we mark the unofficial end of summer. However, the weather this upcoming week says otherwise. Nonetheless, I hope you all had an opportunity to reflect, restore, and give some gratitude on this weekend.  2. College Sports - College athletics are back in swing, providing some pretty awesome moments this week.  2a. Nebraska Women's Volleyball - 92,003 for a Women's Volleyball Game is not just a record for a Women's Athletic event, but it's pretty freakin' cool. Kudos to Nebraska Athletics and everyone who attended in making that a special occasion.  2b. Travis Hunter - I didn't get a chance to watch the Colorado vs. TCU game, however, I'm a fan of Deion Sanders, mainly from what he did for Jackson State. However, Hunter playing both ways is remarkable. Freak athlete.  3. Jimmy Buffett - The world said goodbye to Buffet whose songs can take you to a beach or to summer vibes in an instant.  3 Down  1.
