Sunday Sundown Rundown - 7/12/15

3 Up 

1. Boy Studies in Streets of Philippines - This gets the nod at the number one position as it is just truly inspiring. The photo captured a young boy studying in the streets of the Philippines is truly inspiring. Once you read his backstory, you are even more in awe of this young man. 

2. South Carolina - Though it only took decades, the state of South Carolina finally realized that flying the Confederate flag is indeed a bad thing. Imagine, that, huh? 

3. Summer - I just love summer. And this past week, the times and the weather here in the Northeast, provided plenty of beach time. Can't. Beat. That. 

3 Down

1. Cosby - Things are not looking good for Bill Cosby. And to be quite honest, the more we come to find out, the more testimonies and stories that build against him, the more facts that are revealed, the more Cosby looks guilty. 

2. Jared/Subway - Wow. From inspirational weight loss figure, to...umm, child pornography? WHAT?! I know this one is not over, but that is something you DO NOT want attached to you. No recovery from that. 

3. Ariana Grande - Licking donuts in a donut shop was childish. Very childish. But come on, saying you "hate" Americans and America? It's time to grow up Ariana. Grow up!

2025 NBA All-Star Weekend - "Throw this format in the trash"

There's no other way to put this, the NBA has a serious problem on their agenda going forward regarding All-Star Weekend. What was once the standard for All-Star presentations and must-watch television has quickly turned into social criticism and an entity that undoubtedly reminds fans of what used to be.  Simply put, NBA All-Star Weekend is broken.  I don't want to pile on like we expect the talking heads and personalities to do. This is fixable. Like everything else in sports. However, this...what we experienced tonight, is not it.  Other quick thoughts on the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend:  The Skills Challenge was cool when it was first introduced. Now, it's become over-produced. The map of the floor, the gadgets involved, and even the rules...just ask Chris Paul and poor Victor Wembanyama.  By the way, the constant camera focus on both of them following the "disqualification" had such "Principal Office" vibes.  The Three-Point content remains the purest...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 1/19/25

3 Up 1. Israel and Hamas Ceasefire Agreement - This seems like a pretty big deal considering all of the layers that come with this conflict. Ending this peacefully is of the utmost importance.  2. Bob Uecker - Legend. I'll forever remember Uecker for his role in the Major League movies. In some ways, baseball would be awesome if we had more announcers like him. Except, you realize the dude was one of a kind.  3. MLK Weekend - The weekend is always reflective of how far we've come. It has a different vibe this year, but is still salient for us all to realize.   3 Down 1. Home Insurance - It's a shame how insurance companies are finding their way out of coverage for floods, fires, and other natural disasters. Especially after the recent fires in LA, home insurance coverage has to be examined further 2. Extreme Weather - Some crazy things are happening all over the Globe. Have been for a while.  3. Meta Changes - Well, as the Presidential administration changes, w...
