Sunday Sundown Rundown - 6/2/13

3 Up

1. Yanira Maldonada - Good to see that clear heads and logic prevailed two countries who figured out that this poor woman was framed for drug smuggling.

2. College Baseball Regionals - I was sick this weekend, so I spend a lot of time on my couch watching these games. About eight actually. Can't get enough of it. Best postseason in college sports.

3. Gail Kim and Taryn Terrell - TNA Wrestling's second biggest show of the night, Slammiversary was tonight, and both tore the house down with an epic match. Kudos to both.

3 Down

1. More Tornadoes - The People of Oklahoma just can't catch a break right now.

2. Yankees Offense - If being swept by the Mets wasn't bad enough, the anemic offense is a cause for major concern. Bronx Bombers? Not even close right now.

3. Being sick on a weekend where it is super nice all weekend. Thank goodness for College Baseball.

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 3/17/24

3 Up 1. Virginia Ends Legacy Admissions - There is the obvious on this, right? Like, why is this even a thing to begin with? I'm very curious to see the effects of this in Virginia. For all of the discussion on race-equity-based admissions, and affirmative-action measures, legacy admissions have long gone without scrutiny.  2. Kyrie Irving Buzzer-Beater - Look, this is at #2 for mere appreciation of basketball - at the purity and poetry of it. Irving, arguably the most skilled player ever (despite his actions and your opinions of him) hit a game-winning left-handed (!!) hook shot from 16 feet out to win a game. It's simply unreal. It's a thing of beauty (and such difficulty!).  I'm headed out to the driveway to try it - we all know you will too.  3. COVID Anniversary - Ah yes, we'll continue to remember mid-March for COVID. But let it now steer you away from other thoughts on how the world was reduced to essentials. Let's never lose that outlook.  3 Down 1. Bo

DP Review of the Alternate Knicks Orange Jersey

One of the good aspects about having a blog and being truthful and honest about it, is the hindsight thought process it provides. DP devotees already know how much I love my New York Knicks, and how excited I was about their new jerseys last year. It was a new look that was desperately needed ( DP Review On Knicks New Uniforms ).  In reviewing those jerseys last year, I had the following comments in regards to then-rumors regarding the addition of an alternative orange jersey for the Knicks and overall NBA changes to the Christmas Day special jerseys:  "As long as we do not add an "alternative jersey" (I read rumors of an orange one - woof!) (and the league-wide Spanish jerseys are fine). And please, please - PLEASE - let's finally do away with the awful green jerseys we feel the need to wear on Christmas and St. Patrick's day! Pretty please!"
