#1 Beyonce vs. #8 Kick-Ass

1. Better Jeopardy Contestant - Well this one is interesting. Beyonce rarely dabbles in public issues or affairs, or even put herself in positions where we can enjoy/understand her level of intellect. I'm not calling her smart or even dumb, but it's tough. Why she picks up the win here is because as unknown as she is in this area, Kick-Ass is a high school kid who really was dumb enough to become a super hero with nothing but sheer guts and will. Smarts isn't exactly his deal. DP Devotee, This person won the first criteria in this clash. Ummm, who is Beyonce, Alex. (Beyonce 1-0)

2. Incognito on City Subway - This one is tough. Both stick out like a sore thumb. However, it's pretty darn hard to hide the fact that you are a super hero, especially one wearing a makeshift outfit and construction boots. Dead giveaway? Absolutely. (Beyonce wins 2-0)



#4 The Rock vs. #5 Carrie Underwood

1. Better Jeopardy Contestant - The defending champion is in the house, and already she is being challenged by the most electrifying man in Sports Entertainment. Both are actually very wise, and have college degrees. Something, very rarely seen in Hollywood today. However, as easy as Underwood is on the eyes, you just have to figure The Rock retorting to Alex Trebek would make for a very entertaining episode of Jeopardy. There has to be a, "It doesn't matter...!!" on that episode, right? (The Rock 1-0)

2. Incognito of City Subway - Here comes the champion. Hiding The Rock on any City Subway is tough. Especially as jacked as he is. The man isn't normal. On the the other hand, Carrie could possibly attempt to blend in with the thousands of blondes in many of the cities across the nation. Just keep her head down and keep moving. By far, a better chance to be incognito. (Tied 1-1)

3. Least Likely to Be Caught For PED's - Just look at The Rock. Look at him! Now look at Carrie Underwood. Of course we're not accusing anyone, but who is least likely to be suspected of PEDs? I mean, really! There is your answer. Champ moves on. (Underwood wins 2-1)



#3 Tom Brady vs. #6 Richard Sherman

1. Better Jeopardy Contestant - A first ever for the clash, two football stars squaring off. From public perception, one would think Tom Brady would make the better contestant. He's a quarterback. He went to Michigan. He's rather articulate in press conferences. And he's well, Tom Brady. But, regardless of his infamous post-NFC-Championship-game speech, Richard Sherman went to Stanford. STAN-FORD! And yes, he graduated. And umm, he is currently pursuing a Master's at the University. I'l go with the Stanford guy on Jeopardy. Perception sometimes is far from reality. (Sherman 1-0)

2. Incognito on City Subway - As famous as Richard Sherman became this past year, Tom Brady is still, Tom Brady. There is no changing that he is Tom Brady, one of the most famous athletes in our nation. He's tried hiding in the past with Yankee baseball caps and the such, but the tabloids still find him. Because, he is Tom stinkin' Brady! There is no hiding that. (Sherman wins 2-0)



#2 Ellen Degeneres vs. #7 Mike Francesa

1. Better Jeopardy Contestant - Well, isn't this an interesting match-up? Two notable talking heads for different reasons. Ellen would be tremendous on Jeopardy as she's really entertaining and would probably bring a light-hearted nature to Jeopardy, the kind that typically annoys the always-stern Alex Trebek. On the other hand, Mike Francesa "knows" everything. He believes he does, and when you show him up by calling into his show, he will let you know that right before he waves his hand and hangs up on you. Watching Francesa's ego shrink on a show like Jeopardy, which holds contestants accountable, would be lovely. (Francesa 1-0)

2. Incognito on City Subway - The center of the most retweeted picture in the history of Twitter, or a man who some only know by the sound of his voice, and have no clue what he looks like? Sorry Ellen, "Nuu Yawk's numba one is movin' on, ok!" (Francesa Wins 2-0)

Dome Pondering Movie Review: The Incredibles 2 (2018)

What is it about? The Parr family returns to take on a new mission which involves a change in family roles as well as a new villain. Who is in it? Craig T. Nelson - Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible Holly Hunter - Helen Parr/Elastagirl Sarah Powell - Violet Parr Favorite Scene: After trying to contain Jack-Jack, his constant battle with a backyard rodent opens up the family to the multitude of powers that he possesses, or even, can develop. Favorite Quote: "If you wanna get out of the hole, first you gotta put down the shovel." Review: Like many, I LOVED the original Incredibles film. And yes, I too was annoyed whenever a sequel wasn't announced. After all, there were many franchises that debuted, got a sequel, and even moved straight to release on their third installment before our lovable heroic family got their turn! But I digress... Nonetheless, it finally arrived. And if I'm being honest, The Incredibles 2 was good. It just wasn't what I wa

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/2/23

3 Up 1. Women's College Basketball - From the epic semi-final that was Iowa vs. South Carolina that crushed it in the ratings to today's awesome drama that was Iowa vs. LSU, women's basketball earned some much-deserved respect in the mainstream sports media. Shout out to all in today's game - loved it.  1a. Confident Women - I'm not jumping on a hot take regarding Caitlin Clark and Angela Reese. Both are super confident women who talked trash and balled. Give the women the space to do it, take it, and express it - like we do the men. Much respect to Clark and to Reese as well.  2. Wrestlemania - An amazing two nights for the WWE. Just epic storytelling and overall solidifies the greatest live event in entertainment. No one does it like the WWE.  3. Pandemic Over (?) - So, I'm not sure if anyone has officially, officially ended the pandemic - if they did, I definitely missed it. However, with the Senate voting to overturn the COVID-19 national emergency order, is

Impact No Surrender 2023 Review: "Interested in where the Product is Going"

I've fallen behind on my Impact Wrestling viewing, but honestly, that's okay. For viewership and enjoyment, yes. Not so well for posting a review for readership long after it's noteworthy or relevant. But whatevs, that's just where I am in life. Wrestling is much more fun removed from the restraints and influence of the criticism and impact (no pun intended) of the current time. That's just me. You can probably thank social media. Moving on, No Surrender 2023 continues Impact's progress into the new year. The product is still solid and consistent with a nice blend of characters and wrestlers moving in and out of the main event scene, along with a fresh batch of a resurgence of characters and occurrences. Nothing says that more than Rich Swann vs. Josh Alexander.  No Surrender was a solid event, but it does leave me extremely interested in where the product is going, or should I say planning, for 2023. I don't want to say that Alexander's title reign has
