Your “Those Guys Are A Couple of Master Debaters” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • It begins: up to eight Titans players & personnel have tested positive for Corona virus.
    • It’s three new positive tests for players and five new positive tests for personnel.
      • Outside linebackers coach and defensive playcaller Shane Bowen missed Sunday’s game due to COVID protocols.
      • They now have to confirm the results.
    • All in-person activities have now been suspended until Saturday.
      • Minnesota is also being tested since they just played the Titans.
        • They say they’re clean.
        • League contact tracing identified 48 close contacts with the eight members of the Titans who tested positive.
    • All players who test positive must be cleared by the team’s physician and undergo cardiac testing.
      • Maybe that’s the real reason the Chargers’ doctor shanked Tyrod Taylor.
    • FYI – the Titans host the Steelers this Sunday, while the Vikings play at Houston.

It’s “Debate Night In America”!

Tonight is the first of the three scheduled debates between Biden & Trump. Tonight’s topics will concentrate on the political records of Trump and Biden records, the Supreme Court, the coronavirus pandemic, race and violence in cities, election integrity, and the economy. While most networks are trying to imply an image of fairness in the face of battle,

FOX already has their banner image prepared,

That starts at 9:00PM ET. People want these to be knock-down, drag-out affairs, but in reality it’s just ninety minutes of this:

followed by three-hours of talking heads making POINTS! and deciding a victor based upon pre-existing political biases. I can’t wait!


Baseball playoffs:

One sport ends; another begins.

Look! If you don’t want to watch the debate, then this is all you’ve got.

Because of the ‘rona, the baseball playoffs are being played inside a bubble. The play-in round is being held in the top-seed’s park, followed by select bubble locations for the remainder of the playoffs. The hope is that, by the time they get to the actual Series, they will be able to have 25% attendance. Here’s what’s what:

  • NLDS: Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas and Minute Maid Park in Houston.
  • ALDS: Petco Park in San Diego and Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
  • NLCS: Globe Life Field.
  • ALCS: Petco Park.
  • World Series: Globe Life Field.

Globe Life Field is the new stadium in Texas, built right next to their “antiquated”, 25-year-old old Arlington Ballpark.

In short, here are the first-round matchups. Each series is only three games; first to two wins. The seedings are based on division winner, then divisional second place based on record, and then two wild-card team based on record. The 4-5 seeds are two second-place teams.

National League:

  • Dodgers (1) vs. Brewers (8)
  • Braves (2) vs. Reds (7)
  • Cubs (3) vs. Marlins (6)
  • Padres (4) vs. Cardinals (5)

American League:

  • Rays (1) vs. Blue Jays (8)
  • Athletics (2) vs. White Sox (7)
  • Twins (3) vs. Astros (6)
  • Cleveland (4) vs. Yankees (5)

Now, I don’t want to speak for everyone, but I think fact makes us root against the Astros, Yankees & Cardinals, and emotion for the Padres & Cleveland. The Astros are cheaters who deserve nothing but scorn, and the Yankees & Cardinals have the worst fans and inflated senses of their own importance. The Padres have never won, and Cleveland has the longest Series losing streak.

But, as always, you do you.


Tonight’s sports:

  • MLB:
    • Yankees vs. Cleveland – 7:00PM | ESPN / Sportsnet
  • WNBA Playoffs:
    • Semifinals – Sun vs. Aces – Game 5 – 7:30PM | ESPN2 / TSN

And I will try to remember to put the 506 maps up this Saturday. Geez, you people are so picky.

Nope. The right wing grift has made it sooooo much worse, and they’ve worked the refs hard

Wonder if there could be any downside to making every conservative strategist a producer on the center-left stations. Guess we’ll never know.

If it took you even half an hour to take a dump, you probably need to discuss your diet with a nutritionist or a gastroenterologist, amigo.

That’s when I read DFO!

See you on the other side.

Same, but for the lulz. Seems like even they are disappointed in the whole thing. That’s quite interesting, because it went just like it did when Dick face debated Hillary back in the day.

That was equally uninformative and terrifying, but at least I’ll have that “Bad things happen in Philadelphia” meme ready for Sunday

Some undecided voters will make ‘informed’ decisions after watching this debate. Does anyone else see the flaw inherent in the system?

I sorta feel sorry for her because I think that her dad (that wanted to fuck her) told her over and over again that she was the prettiest girl that he’d ever seen. She’s all kinds of fucked up and is in over her head.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Sorta.

“We call them the ‘Latinos for Trump,’ where we are polling at numbers that I guess no Republican has ever polled at before, perhaps, Abraham Lincoln. But in those days, he wasn’t big into the Hispanic movement, I think. He had other things to think about,” Trump said.

Porky Prime

I know a few Latinos for Trump, it’s fucking MADDENING. Fifth Columnist motherfuckers, but I gotta just sip my beer and not spit it in their face.

Trump is the other side of the Reagan coin. But its the same coin.

Recovery Whiskey

Trump’s talent is to just spew bombastic and talk over people. And it works. On people that want to believe it.

Redshirt

“He passed the Tax Bill?”

Does he even know what the Vice President does?

WCS

This is Trump. He’s not sure what a toilet does, outside of, “makes poo go away.”

Redshirt

Has Biden mentioned that Trump is a pathological liar? I don’t remember him saying it.

Recovery Whiskey

Not yet. And I’m pretty sure he won’t

Sharkbait

This is like watching one 10 year old argue fair vs foul on a street baseball game with another kid

Recovery Whiskey

Trump was a private developer like the NFL is a free market league.

Motherfucker just said “I was a private businesspeople” and now I’m dissociating
