Sunday Sundown Rundown - 8/25/13

3 Up

1. 50th Anniversary of MLK Speech - It's amazing to think that the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made his most famous speech in D.C. 50 years ago. Long live The Dream. 

2. Ichiro Suzuki - No matter what some may say, 4,000 hits is pretty damn impressive. And that's Japan or MLB.

3. Peru's Mashco-Piro Indians - I just thought this story was cool. Also, pretty hard to wrap your mind around the idea that there are tribes that are still in isolation.

3 Down

1. Death of Chris Lane - The thought that an innocent kid from Australia here on a baseball scholarship would have his life taken while jogging because three teens were "bored" is incomprehensible. Disgusting. and most of all, heartbreaking.

2. Unbelievable Letter - The idea that any mother would write this letter to another is quite frankly, shocking. But I guess this is the type of world we are living in. Sad.

3. Wild Wing Cafe - For bringing the 60's back with this action. Yes, I too couldn't believe this story was real.

WWE Survivor Series 2023 Review: "Whaddya Wanna Talk About?"

Well, following that premium live event, in the words of Cody Rhodes... "whaddya wanna talk about?"  The obvious is there, right? CM Punk, somehow, makes a bid for another moment-of-the-year candidate for wrestling fans with another "return" - his second over the last four years. This one, back to the WWE, in what felt like the most improbable of opportunities. But as we've learned, WWE truly is where you "never say never".  You can go in so many directions on this one. But without going too far down a road that hasn't developed or we have some headlights on, it's quite clear that WWE is absolutely crushing the wrestling business right now, and adding anything - or anyone - to that continued record success is the mission. They. Are. Not. Settled.  Second, the unveil I thought was great. Just absolute pro wrestling at its peak. As soon as the guitar riff to "Cult of Personality" hit and the familiar graphics hit the screens, my immedia

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 11/26/23

3 Up 1. Hostages Released - It might not be an overwhelming consensus - as this topic is so polarizing that I doubt we come to such agreements. Regardless, having innocent individuals released is a plus in the situation. I wish we still didn't have innocent people dying, but that's a whole other topic.  1a. Cease Fire - Who knows how long this will last. But the fact there is an agreement in place while hostages are being released is a plus. Take it.  2. Thanksgiving - The older I get, the more this day has a deeper focus and a sense of gratitude. Please take a moment today to focus on that among all of the chaos of food, family, friends, and everything else.  3. CM Punk Return - How cool was that? CM Punk returns to the WWE at the Survivor Series. Never say never in that company.  3 Down 1. NBA Ethics Optics - From Miles Bridges to Josh Giddey, its been really difficult lately to trust the NBA's moral compass. I'm not throwing them under the bus as they've done the
