Sunday Sundown Rundown - 9/22/24


3 Up

1. Shohei Ohtani - Unbelievably, special. Yup, Shohei locked in a 50-50 season - first to ever do it. But you know what, he might have had the single most impressive game in the history of baseball. I'll leave that up to debate - regardless, the man is box office. 

2. Teen Instagram Profiles - It's a small change, but I'll give Meta it's due for even going this far. Enough evidence is available to explain why social media is harmful, especially to adolescents. Making their profiles private protects them from themselves, and from others. Win. 

3. Harvest Full Supermoon - Sometimes, the world is beautiful. Earth is wonderful. The Universe is a wonder. 

3 Down

1. Sean "Diddy" Combs - Man, oh man. The allegations and the evidence is piling up. And likely, a lifetime of some "stuff" is about to come out. Diddy's reputation is done for, but we're all wondering, who else is involved?

2. Pagers Explode - The situation is absolutely crazy. What is even worse is the thought that someone hack something - whatever that is - and actually explode our phones! 

3. Springfield, Ohio - Such a shame how politics has ruined a small town...and the people within it.

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...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/15/26

Sunday Sundown Rundown returns! Going forward, I'll be sharing thoughts and ponderings in a format of three simple thoughts, opposed to the former "3 Up, 3 Down" of the past.   Mother of Savannah Guthrie I haven't been closely following the developments. I've checked in here and there, mostly hoping that this horrific story comes to an end. I simply continue to sympathize with concern, as not only are the emotions of having one's mother kidnapped for ransom more than enough to bear, but to have it played out publicly, before the nation, helplessly, is an unfathomable reality to understand. And of course, as all things in this culture, the story has been manipulated, pulled apart, and coerced into political representations that are not true, or at the very worst, worthy of discussion considering that someone's life - a person's mother - is at stake.  Winter Olympics It's not my favorite. Summer Olympics are my jam. Nonetheless, this Winter Olympics...
