Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/11/18


3 Up

1. Winter Olympics Open - Okay, I'll admit it. I'm not overwhelmingly a Winter Olympics guy. I'm still learning the scoring for figure skating, skateboarding is cool, and cross-country skiing seems to me like a good way to punish someone. Regardless, it's always pretty cool to see the World's best athletes on such a stage. 

2. Black Athletes in Winter Olympics - Yo, there's another black guy in hockey! And a black guy on the national speed skating team! One of my lack of interest in the Winter Olympics have always been it's lack of diversity. But lo and behold, this year there are some windows and barriers being smashed. This is great for sports. 

3. MLB Hot Stove - The Hot Stove had a bit of a blip of fire this week as Yu Darvish signed with the Cubs. Will this open up the market? We'll see. It's been such a crazy off-season, and camps open this week!

1. Officers Killed - The news of two Ohio Police officers who were responding to a 911 hang-up being killed is so incredibly heartbreaking. So senseless. Ugh...

2. Explosion in Puerto Rico - Just when the island of Puerto Rico begins to get itself back together, a huge explosion at a power substation now leaves areas in the dark. 

3. Porzingis Injury - A person one here...I'm still depressed. SMH.

Well, following that premium live event, in the words of Cody Rhodes... "whaddya wanna talk about?"  The obvious is there, right? CM Punk, somehow, makes a bid for another moment-of-the-year candidate for wrestling fans with another "return" - his second over the last four years. This one, back to the WWE, in what felt like the most improbable of opportunities. But as we've learned, WWE truly is where you "never say never".  You can go in so many directions on this one. But without going too far down a road that hasn't developed or we have some headlights on, it's quite clear that WWE is absolutely crushing the wrestling business right now, and adding anything - or anyone - to that continued record success is the mission. They. Are. Not. Settled.  Second, the unveil I thought was great. Just absolute pro wrestling at its peak. As soon as the guitar riff to "Cult of Personality" hit and the familiar graphics hit the screens, my immedia

Quick Ponder: Gratitude

  My sense of gratitude explodes within my heart when I cease expressing it through the tangible, but rather through, time and moments.  Happy Thanksgiving, all.
