Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/13/14

3 Up

1. Adrianne Haslet-Davis - The Boston Marathon bombing victim requested that the bombing suspect's name not be mentioned during her appearance on "Meet The Press". After agreeing to her terms, they went ahead and did so anyway while she was on the show. Typical. Haslet-Davis ended up walking off the set. Good for her. 

2. Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg - The Huffington Post contributor deserves the two spot this week for her well-written piece on provoking thought on the education system and the issues such as the lack of creative teaching and public funding in our nation. 

3. Daniel Bryan/Eric Young - Both men captured their respective company's World Championships this week. Good to see the continuing evolution of the pro wrestling business rewarding those who have heart, and not just those who physically impress. 

3 Down

1. Kansas Jewish Center Shooting - It's so sad to continue to see how common mass, public shootings have become in our society. Such a sad occurrence, especially with the Passover Holiday around the corner. 

2. Ultimate Warrior's Death - Another childhood symbol gone. However, what made this weird was Warrior's speech the night before on Raw. A speech that seems so eerie now in hindsight. Thanks for the memories Warrior, and we all hope your passion for life continues on through your wife and two daughters. 

3. Sport of Boxing - The Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao fight was entertaining. But with so many titles and championships in the sport, does anyone know who the real champion is?

3 Up 1. Olympics - It was a memorable Olympics for various reasons. Quite honestly, it was one of the best Olympic Games in my lifetime. I sort of miss having so many options to watch sports - a variety of them - on the daily.  1a. Peacock App - It's still an app with a frustrating user interface, but having the option to watch sports on-demand was awesome. My appreciation to ALL involved in making that happen.  2. Tim Walz - In the "up" is the announcement of Walz as the VP pick for Kamala Harris. Walz gets the nod here not because of an endorsement, but because I thought he did a great job entering the race this week. And also, it's good to finally get both tickets set as we steamroll to Election Day.  3. Presidential Debate - Well, we've got the second one locked in for September 10th. Just when you thought there was no point in tuning into debates (especially after the last one), Trump vs. Kamala has the makings of a one-time knock-down drag out).  3 Down 1. F

You're the hero in someone's life. You're also the villain in someone's life. Likely without knowing it.
