The Sunday Sundown Rundown (formerly in the format of "3 Up and 3 Down") is where I share thoughts on three topics that piqued my interest, along with my favorite photo from the week.
Knicks Parade
I'm sure you can tell from the recent posts on this here site, I am still in the Knicks Championship thought.
NBA Champs, babbyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
Nonetheless, the parade was everything any Knicks fan (new, old, and long-time suffering) could have imagined. Memorable scenes. Emotional. And unforgettable.

For me, it was Mayor Mahdani's speech that jogged us down memory lane, and more so, the visual of the NBA Cup Trophy, the Eastern Conference Trophy (Bob Cousy Trophy), and dear (elusive) Larry O'Brien sitting on a table in the NYC sun. We ran the table.
Beauftiful.
UK Social Media Ban
This is interesting to me. The recent ban in the UK on social media use for individuals under 16 is well...yeah, interesting. There are continued heaps of data that show the dangers of social media use during adolescence and to overall health. Yet, there is a social - and, in some ways, cultural integration of social media among this generation.
This opinion article alone discusses some parents with children who have their own YouTube channels, who are upset about the ban, and some informational advantages that will be lost with the ban.
We're on the brink of regulations...it's going to be interesting how it all plays out on the global scale.
U.S. Men's National Team
They've looked good!!
That's what we're all thinking as the United States Men's National Soccer Team outplayed Australia and Paraguay in dominating fashion, clinching a spot in the knockout rounds. Is this for real?
The United States Hockey team brought some good vibes to a nation in need of pulling together. I would love to see what a deep run by the men's national team would do.
