Sunday Sundown Rundown - 10/27/24


3 Up

1. Poll Workers Training - We're here. And it's almost time. God bless so many poll workers who do the job, and lately, under scrutiny and for some, under death threats. Let's be civilized, everyone. Go vote! 

2. MLB World Series - MLB got exactly what it wanted. New York vs. Los Angeles. The series hasn't gone the way that I want it to, but from a greater baseball fan perspective, it's been amazing. 

3. Biden Apology - Look, you can say a lot of things here. And most people, especially if you're not a fan of Biden, likely will. But for a President to apologize - APOLOGIZE! - to a group of people where policy marginalized or destroyed their community is rare. Think about our history and everything that includes. I'm just saying nothing else other than it's rare, and really, it's the right thing to do. 

3 Down

1. Political Uprising - As the top "up" mentioned, we're here. And with that comes all of the heightened political garbage we can expect. We've already seen some of it. People get ugly. And, likely will. The next few days are going to be interesting. And stressful. And, annoying. Regardless, go VOTE! 

2. McDonald's E.Coli Outbreak - McDonalds is like that "sure thing" in the food industry. An E.Coli outbreak this week definitely stripped that away. 

3. LeBron and Bronny Backlash - I said my piece on this a few weeks ago. I'm super happy for LeBron - as a dad that has to be awesome. The moment just lacks reverence and authenticity. Kudos to Coach Reddick for getting it out of the way. However, I still think my storyline would've been best. But hey...

1 Yikes!

1. Tyrique Stevenson - I was fortunate to watch that Hail Mary pass live as it happened by the Commanders. However, for Stevenson, to be taunting the crowd, missing a portion of the play, and then becoming the person to tap the ball allowing the game-winning catch to be made, is something. Film study will be brutal. Get ready to humble yourself.

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...

Thoughts on TNA on AMC Debut: "Yup, TNA is back. It is so back."

TNA is back.  And I know that because it is heavily under scrutiny by the internet. But that criticism comes with being back on a major platform like the AMC Network, and of course, taking the next step after a super successful 2025.  So, what did I think?  The show was...ummmm okay, at best. Some of the challenges the company faced heading into this weekend were well documented among the rumor mill, which didn't bode well for the company. In balancing reported visa issues with talent, pivoting after losing core talent to free agency, and attempting to build and manage talent workload with a premium live event on Saturday, TNA found themselves in the usual TNA stuff. The most peculiar - and strangest - of situations to be in going into a big network premiere. This company, man! All in all, again, the show was okay. It had its flaws. It had some cool moments. It didn't live up to the hype (or the expectations we each had for such a premiere). But it's one show. TNA has put...

Dome Pondering Movie Review: In a Relationship (2018)

What is it about?  Following the progression of two couples over the course of a summer.  Who is in it? Emma Roberts - Hallie Michael Ambrano - Owen Dree Hemingway - Willa Patrick Gibson - Matt Favorite Scene:  [Spoiler Alert] Matt and Villa sit on the stairs, and he admits to not wanting to introduce Willa to his parents.  Favorite Quote:  I don't... I don't think you ever find someone... you don't resent. And that's part of it. It's just... find the person you *want* to resent, you know. Review:  This was a weird film. The opener had much promise, but as the film continued, it felt like it was just getting longer.  My biggest gripe with the film is that I liked each of the characters less as I got to know them. I understand that the film attempted to highlight the modern relationship for a specific generation, and in certain ways, it succeeded in doing so. However, the characters never grew or became better people from their relationships...they just...
