Sunday Sundown Rundown - 3/7/21


 3 Up

1. Meghan and Harry - WOW! I found myself flipping to this frequently in between the action of the All-Star Game because well, it's the NBA All-Star game, and really, what did it matter? Meghan spilled some serious tea, and while the insider disclosure was juicy, it revealed a much sadder and troubling side of the "Royalty" many praises. I can't wait to sit down and watch this outright. 

BTW - Oprah is a national treasure. 

2. "Bloody Sunday" Reminder - Today marks the 56th anniversary of the deadly encounter that happened on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. 56 Years later, and the right to vote is STILL a center for struggle. 

In a sobering thought, that violent encounter was JUST a mere 56 years ago - so many people are alive who endured to pushed the bar that much further for equality. So much appreciation and kudos to those who did. 

3. The Inside Story - I LOVE a good sports documentary, and the four-part series of one of the greatest studio sports shows of all-time, Inside the NBA, is very much worth the watch. Easily, my favorite in-studio sports show of all-time.

3 Down

1. State Bills to Restrict Voting - Ironically, on the day we remember Bloody Sunday, over 43 States have pushed forward over 100 bills for action that will reduce or suppress voting rights across the country. The bills add measures, remove sites, and use all sorts of random protocols to suppress the ability to vote for communities of color, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor. Why - WHY? - does our country continue to do this?

2. Myanmar Protests - Protests continue to rage in the country of Myanmar as democracy hangs by a thread. This week saw the deadliest of encounters in a situation that continues to pull apart a country. 

3. Coming 2 America - I touched base on the film here with my review. SMH. Why did they make this movie? 

1 Interesting

1. Governor Cuomo - Is there anyone a bigger candidate for the biggest fall of the year (thus far) than Cuomo. And really, if the allegations are true, doesn't he deserve it? 

1 Eh

1. NBA All-Star Weekend Night - The Three-point competition was fun. Other than that, the event felt long, and never got out of second gear. Besides the three-point competition, watching Steph Curry and Damian Lillard hoist and make shots with ease from half-court during the game was awesome. Other than that? Eh.

Was It Ever Real?

Does time change me? Or, did I evolve through experience? How many signals did I miss? Or, did I choose this fate? Do I understand the wrongs and regrets? Or, did I act with the best interest in the moment? What did they say about me? And, what will they say about me today? Was I appreciated? Or, did I imagine that? What were the opinions in the shadows? And, what were the feelings expressed before me? Is it a misunderstanding?  Or, a matter of not confirming?  Why didn’t it last? Or, was it never meant to? …ever able to? Was it ever real? Some of it? Part of it?

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/23/25

3 Up   1. New Old Cookbook - I thought this was really cool. The oldest published cookbook just got a remake and is now available. The cookbook, by Malinda Russell, is 160 years old. There has to be some really good (clean) stuff in that book. It's also Black History Month (are we still allowed to push that?), and there's a lot of history and significance that can be found through food.  2. Frankie Munoz - This dude went from Malcolm in the Middle and decided, I'm gonna be a race car driver! Munoz finished 10th recently in his debut as a NASCAR driver.  3. Yankees Policy - It's about time. The Yankees really were eventually going to find themselves in something MUCH uglier than a narrative surrounding "would George have done this?!" or "Why, this is the Yankee way!". Kudos to Hal Steinbrenner for the move.  3 Down 1. Another Plane Crash - This one in Toronto. A place landed on its roof. What is going on out there? Doesn't help when you read and ...

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...
