Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/29/18


3 Up 

1. LeBron - Yo, whoever doubts or speaks down upon this guy's abilities should be banned from watching all sports - forever. LeBron once again - shocker - put on a show today in a Game 7. 

2. Weather Forecast - Whoa! Is that 70+ degree days I see ahead here in the Northeast? Even two consecutive 80+ degree days? Where are my shorts?!

3. Did Gregorious - Barring LeBron's un-human-like ability in basketball, is any athlete hotter than Didi right now? 

3 Down

1. Toronto Terrorism - This is sickening and just utter disappointing. So ridiculous. 

2. Bill Cosby - Justice has been served. It's still so crazy how time and perceptions can change, especially when we think we know a person. Oh by the way...when does Harvey Weinstein get charged up for what he did? 

3. Kanye - Look, the man is in fact entitled to his own opinion on politics. However, I find it rather odd he's acting all crazy with an album set for release very soon. But I do miss old Kanye, before the mainstream fame, Kardashian influence, and all of this nonsense. 


1 Hilarious 

1. Titus O'Neil - He's taking it like a champ, but wow, that fall will live FOREVER in wrestling lore. For real, forever. I can't stop laughing at it. And I keep watching it on repeat. Damn, Titus.

Quick Ponder: My Island Vibes

I would love to have an island, of all the people,  who brought great vibes to my life - past and present.  My island would be amazing. 

The Madness is Maddening

There is a lot that can be said about the state of college athletics, particularly basketball. NIL has surely shaken the foundation that once grounded college sports for the product that we see today. There is a lot that can be said, and lots of conversations that can be extended for hours of thoughtful dialogue (by the right people).  The current March Madness playing out - on both sides - has plenty of thoughts (and mostly feelings) bouncing around in my mind (and heart).  Just a few:  I really do love how much the Women's game has grown and improved. In various ways, the pureness of the game itself is often more enjoyable than the current men's game.  Despite the growth, the lopsided scores in the first two rounds are evident of a still top-end talent pool. Overall, there is room for growth in talent around the country. The "student-athlete" in this space is on life support. In many ways it's dead.  It's outright sad to see programs that have zero continuit...
