Sunday Sundown Rundown - 6/14/15

3 Up

1. Chris Heston - Throwing a no-hitter is no easy feat. Throwing one as rookie just makes the super difficult game of baseball look really easy, which it is definitely not. Congrats to Heston on the no-no of the New York Mets! 

2. The Internet - What?! Yes, often the internet is the bad guy in life and is the cause for many reasons for the detoriation of human existence in several ways. However, let's give one to the internet this week for allowing this story to occur. Hooray internet! 

3. Andre Iguodala - Alright, we're giving love to the second "AI" coined by Philadelphia. Sure, he is the focus for Cleveland's intentional fouls, but Iguodala has been an amazing piece to the entire NBA Finals. His defense and competitiveness on the greatest player in the world (Hint: It's LeBron James) has been praise-worthy. Even when James is racking up triple doubles. 

3 Down

1. Joyce Mitchell - You are a moron. Seriously. Helping these clowns escape was idiotic. I hope New York State throws the book at her. 

2. Rachel Dolezal Story - I'm sorry, but anyone that is a sucker for this race baiting story needs to relax. Seriously. What does her background have to do with her ability to advance colored people (is that still a phrase?) as the NAACP has always proclaimed to do. Of course, the media knows this stirs the controversy, especially after the last few months of issues within our nation.

3. Waldorf Astoria Shooting - It's been a week of idiots, and this guy is just another one. Why do you need your gun at a wedding? At a wedding!? At. A. Wed-ding!!!! Idiot.

Dome Pondering Movie Review: Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

What is it about? Axel Foley returns to Beverly Hills after his daughter's life is threatened and works with his old pals to help solve the issue.  Who is in it? Eddie Murphy - Axel Foley Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Detective Bobby Abbott Taylour Paige - Jane Saunders Favorite Scene: It was cheesy but so nostalgic. I loved it when Serge returned as they "looked" at the house.  Favorite Quote: "G*d, I Missed You, Axel" Review: I had A LOT of reservations once I heard that another installment of Beverly Hills Cops was on deck. After all, I love the first two installments, and the third did enough damage to the series that trying to get this franchise back on rail for more felt like a tough climb.  Also, this era of reboots, remakes, and rehashes rarely hit the target. Just see "Coming 2 America". The point is: that some classics just need to be left alone.  However, Axel F very much surprised me. Maybe it was the low expectations (I doubt it), but I enjoyed e

USA's Big Win Over Serbia & Appreciating LeBron, Durant, and Curry

That was one of the best basketball games I've witnessed. There is certainly a lot to be said about the FIBA style vs. NBA product, however, the sheer storylines, talent, and passion on display were remarkable.  I'm also thankful to the Peacock App which allowed basketball junkies like myself to watch as many hoops, regardless of country, during the 2024 Olympics.  Before sharing some rather quick thoughts, I will just say that we do need to drop the tired sports talk and culture we currently have. Just appreciate Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and LeBron James while they grace a basketball court. Appreciate it. We won't have it for much longer.  Yes, LeBron James is absolutely amazing (haters, keep your buts, however, and tired Jordan comparisons to yourself). But have we really wrapped our collective thought process that this dude is 40 years old?! In the words of one of my favorites, Gus Johnson, Kevin Durant is just "puuuuuuuuuure" And speaking of Durant, it says

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 8/11/24

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
