Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/9/14

3 Up

1. Video Seeing Rain for First Time - This video is completely cute. Adorable. Absolutely just melts your heart. Makes you wonder when do we become jaded regarding the simple things in life? How many of us say, "ugh, it's raining" as opposed to the reaction of this little girl. 

2. Exonerated Murder Charges - This could easily be a "down" due to our justice system failing these two men. However, we'll focus on the positive and be thankful the correction was made even after twenty-one years of wrongful imprisonment.

3. Kevin Durant - These dude is simply amazing to watch. Durant is the template everyone guy goes for in the create-a-player in a video game. It's just amazing to watch him play...even when he goes for 41 against my Knicks. 

3 Down

1. Sochi Problems - As someone in the Sports and Event management field, to see the utter failings and lack of proper management from the Russians for the Winter Olympics is embarrassing. Accommodations are incomplete, security has been compromised, competition courses aren't up to par, and some athletes have threatened to leave. Russia should be highly embarrassed. 

2. Danish Zoo - I've never been one to be called an animal lover, but even I know what this Danish zoo did was completely wrong. 

3. Man Shoved By Marcus Smart - First, let me say, Smart was wrong for shoving him. He needs to keep his composure, regardless of whatever what was said to him. 

Yet, with that said, that man who feels he could yell anything at college kids because he throws a money into a booster club for Texas Tech should be ashamed of himself. Real tough guy yelling things to incite a twenty-year old. Good job, tough guy.

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

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.
