Sunday Sundown Rundown - 1/28/18

3 Up

1. Women's Royal Rumble - I had some doubts. But man, kudos to the WWE, and of course, to all of the women - past and present - who delivered on one of wrestling's biggest nights of the year. Another fantastic weekend done by the WWE. I'm very much looking forward to the road to Wrestlemania. 

2. Bruno Mars - Bruno Mars is just one of those guys that transcends all genres. I think he's one of those talents that everyone enjoys. No matter the age, taste of music, or your walk of life. Bruno's style is sick, and he deserves every Grammy award he won tonight. 

3. MLB Hall of Fame - Sure, there is always debate, but the eventual inductees for 2018 are all well deserving. Congrats to Chipper Jones, Vladimir Guerrero, Jim Thome, and Trevor Hoffman. 

3 Down

1. School Shootings - Unfortunately, once we did nothing after Sandy Hook, I've had my doubts about us getting serious about gun control. Yet, here we are, 22 school shootings in 28 days to start 2018. Let that sink in. Ridiculous. We should be ashamed. 

2. Steve Wynn - These dude is a creep. Just more powerful men now getting outed for their sexual misconduct. 

3. Jay-Z/Trump - It's not Jay-Z, or even the President that bothers me. It's the support that both sides have for "their party" when discussing this latest happenstance around the current administration. At this point, are politics even about people and policy anymore? Or just about given reason to hate on lifestyles and lives that are different from yours?

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

Quick Ponder: No Matter What

"You can give  everything to something, and no matter what, it is always gonna do what it's gonna do." I feel that these days. I get it. 

The Pondering 10: 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend

Contrary to the discourse that always surrounds the NBA All-Star Weekend, I genuinely enjoyed the weekend, and even more so, the All-Star Game. No, for real. All love here.  Although the Dunk Contest really is on its last legs. That was tough to watch.  Nonetheless, I'm keeping it all good vibes on this one as a fan. Just a quick Pondering 10 on my favorite things from the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend.  --- View this post on Instagram A post shared by New York Knicks 🏀 (@nyknicks) 10. JB vs. KAT Moment Big Knicks homer moment here. If you frequent these parts, you already know that. Watching the Captain go at KAT brought a moment of joy for all of us in Knicks fandom. Neither one came away with anything. I'm just glad they're in perfect health as we head toward the second half of the season with the Playoffs looming.  9.
