Your “Choices, Choices Everywhere” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

Both photos were taken & complied by me outside the Seahawks game on November 4th.

After the last six months of electioneering, I know many people feel one of two sentiments:

or

So, you can spend your evening hate-drinking & hate-watching election results, or you can spend it here with friends, hate-drinking & telling dick jokes about election results. I know you’ll make the right decision.


NFL News:

  • It’s from yesterday, but it’s hilarious nonetheless: former offensive lineman David Diehl said Raiders coaches used to give JaMarcus Russell blank tapes to determine if he was studying film.
    • When quizzed the next day, he would give answers about blitz packages and such, when in fact he was pulling shit out of the air because he didn’t watch them.
    • Bleacher Report helpfully points out that other players available in that draft were Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Patrick Willis or Darrelle Revis.
  • The Saints spent Tuesday working out Dez Bryant & Brandon Marshall.
    • They need a counter-balance to Michael Thomas. The three other Saints receivers had a combined two catches on Sunday.
      • Breesus needs sure-handed disciples.
  • God bless Bruce Arians – he says he’d consider the Browns job, or recommend Chuck Pagano for it.
    • Likely because he’d have to come sub in for Pagano after a year.
    • People forget Arians was the Browns OC the last time they went to the playoffs in 2002.
  • Somebody lit the GAMBLOR signal: the Cardinals opened as a 17-point underdog to the Chiefs this weekend.
    • The most recent big point ‘dog was the Bills, who were 16.5-point underdogs to the Vikings earlier this season and wound up winning the game by 21 points.
    • Beerguyrob’s observation?


A brief “thank you” shout-out to the staff & commentists of [DFO] – we have achieved a modicum of success that should be recognized: we have surpassed being the 350,000th most popular site on the internet.

I have one of my students using Alexa.com‘s free internet stats as part of his specialized learning about IT. (He looks up things like Amazon, CNN, various gaming sites he likes, et cetera. It keeps him busy.) Every so often, I check in to see how we’re doing as an entity. Here’s what it looked like back on October 2nd:

We are well behind sites like Deadspin,

but we also aren’t trying to be sites like Deadspin, so we’re just competing with ourselves to make the site better. As last week’s Halloween spectacular showed, I think we do that on a consistent basis.

FYI – the Top-10 sites worldwide, according to Alexa?

  1. google.com
  2. youtube.com
  3. facebook.com
  4. baidu.com – The leading Chinese language search engine.
  5. wikipedia.org
  6. qq.com – An instant messaging service developed by Shenzhen Tencent Computer System.
  7. yahoo.com
  8. taobao.com – Taobao Marketplace is online shopping for Chinese consumers.
  9. Tmall.com – Tmall.com is a premium online Chinese shopping site within Alibaba Group, and NOT an alternative dating site for curious Chinese men.
  10. amazon.com

Kind of like hitting 4000 posts or 500,000 comments, we couldn’t make any milestones without a dedicated group of people creating, reading & commenting on our #content. So thank you to everyone who helped us achieve this.

So, Dem House challenges/confronts Trump, subpoenas taxes and staff etc. What’s the O/U on how long till martial law is imposed? Maybe GAMBLOR expert King Hippo can provide some insight…

My money’s on trump “not encouraging” violence against his policital enemies, said violence occurring, then he says it was their fault they asked for it, and no one giving a shit. Oh wait.

So, Beto O’Rourke gained a lot of national exposure, lost his Senate race, and I guess gave up his seat in the house. Does he keep a high profile and run for prez in 20? I might contribute to that campaign.

But so much of the rest of the country came out and PROVED they really do want fascism. It’s scary as fuck. And fuck Florida right in all its various fuckholes.

Michigan went blue, held the senate seat, legalized weed, automated voter registration, and changed the rules for redistricting it so it has to be done by a bipartisan committee. Not bad for one election. Let’s see what the rest of the country looks like:

Left-leaning Dems are overperforming in Trump districts, and right-leaning Dems are failing.

Can we retire the idea that there be dragons on the left? People want a fighter!

Evan better those “Left Leaning Dems” are just returning to the New Deal FDR platform. It’s not Left Leaning it’s common sense ideas.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just became the youngest congresswoman in American history by whooping on a shitty centrist stooge in the primary, so there’s that.

So, I was just watching Caddyshack and this bothered me:

At the last hole, it’s announced that the match is All Square. Everyone has a putt of roughly equal distance. The Doc misses his. The Judge makes his. Ty misses.

HOW COME TY TELLS DANNY THAT IF HE MISSES, THEY LOSE?!?

Worst case, it’s a draw, no? Granted, Cervik doubles the bet on whether Danny makes the putt, making the scores irrelevant, but this seems wrong.

Thoughts?

America: our elections are unsecure, the republicans have voted against securing them and even sent a delegation of us legislators to Moscow on July 4th to conspire with the Russian government, which is just an international mob enterprise.

Also America: I can’t believe our elections are not fair and open and we continue to have the government hojacked by a handful of traitors!
