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...

Dome Pondering Movie Review: The Man from Toronto (2022)

What is it about?  After an average screw-up is mistaken for an assassin, they must work together to accomplish the mission at hand to break free from other restraints as well.  Who is in it? Kevin Hart - Teddy Jackson Woody Harrelson - The Man from Toronto Favorite Scene:  Teddy is on his first assignment from The Man from Toronto and is in a conference room, and must find out key information. What happens next is Teddy's goofiness shining through awkwardly.  Favorite Quote:   Teddy: [About his minute photos] What's that, for your little serial killer wall? The Man From Toronto: You think you'd make the wall? Come on, man. You're barely fridge material. Review:  This one lasted on the "My Watch" list for a few years. After finally getting to it, I wasn't disappointed.  Woody Harrelson is one of those actors for me who typically isn't in bad stuff, so this one got the benefit of the doubt. While I love Kevin Hart, the trailer alone felt very similar to...
