1. Emergency Personnel - What is being endured in the Gulf of Mexico - all of the states in the path of Hurricane Helene - is sad. Yet, so many emergency personnel stayed and were on the scene to help save lives. This includes the "unofficial" emergency personnel - good human beings carrying the amazing human spirit. God Bless everyone affected by this storm.
2. NBA Drama - Sure, my Knicks commanded so much intrigue this weekend with a trade for Karl-Anthony Towns (I'll have my thoughts later). But, there is just something about the NBA and its off-the-court drama that commands attention - in the middle of an NFL season, with MLB Playoffs, and CFB in swing - here comes the NBA with something!
3. MLB Wildcare Race - I'm no fan of the expanded playoff format - however, it's made for a fun September for so many teams. Especially, that of the National League.

1. Hurricane Helene - Awful. The devastation has been tough to watch. The videos of flooding and chaos in areas and towns that are not used to such weather are worrisome in so many ways. God Bless everyone affected by this storm.
2. Mayor Adams - What a mess. You just knew things were not looking good once so many top officials began resigning. SMH.
2a. New York City - Shame on everyone (myself included) for letting this dude get elected.
3. White Sox - 121 Losses doesn't seem real. It almost seems unfathomable to do. Almost like it needed to be an accident of the kind we've never seen before. Surely, a team can't be this bad! Yup. The White Sox pulled it off.
