    Even if Trump could make it to another debate, what happens the moment he gets asked how he and his staff fucked up something as simple as masks in front of the world?

    And I don't think he goes to another debate after this fiasco, even if he recovers in time.  No way he's willing to risk being asked about that.

    Right now, he's going to be in Mack Brown mode, and he's going to try and run the clock out.

    These guys would take an intentional safety when they’re up 1 point

    Why is there so much focus on the music he uses?  Although I do like it because the bands generally get pissed and ban him from using their art to promote his hate agenda. 

    Because it hard to be so consistently tone deaf with choices on his level

  3. The Omaha World Herald had a great series last year about the neighborhood he grew up in. Sayers, Bob Gibson, Bob Boozer, Ron Boone, Marlin Briscoe, and Johnny Rogers all came out of the same few blocks in a 10 year span, and were coached by Gibson’s older brother

    The original settlers were religious nutjobs who were not welcome in their relatively progressive/metropolitan countries.  I know that's not a patriotic thing to say, but I'm not feeling very patriotic right now.  

    Being settled by criminals generally looks like a better starting point.

    Really?  How so?

    It looked like Hillary was going to be elected, remember?  Until she wasn't.  So, explain your tactics.

    When you’re already well into your 70’s with multiple bouts with cancer and you have a friendly Senate and President, it might be time retire in favor of someone who can continue your legacy instead of rolling the dice that you’ll continue to beat increasing odds. Scalia got lucky that Mitch bailed him out.

  6. I realize the obvious thing here is Traces of Texas which I’m sure everyone here already follows. (Even I as a non-Texan enjoy it) but what else do you follow for bits of history and enjoyment? I follow accounts that tweet pictures of dive bars from across the United States, non-standard McDonalds, abandoned race tracks and google street views of post offices. I also engage and contribute content to an account dedicated to locating the location of every football that hosted high school football in the state of Nebraska, and one dedicated to Nebraska High School Sports history.

    The sports ratings these past few months are really confusing to me.  Every sport is down and down considerably.  

    I wrote off the NBA and NFL due to social issues but for CFB to be down so far as well is really surprising.  You can argue 40% of the major conferences are missing however I’m shocked the remaining demand didn’t offset the smaller supply.  

    When you add in that even non-live sports related shows such as Last Chance U and Hard Knocks viewers are off 50%+ it’s like there’s little demand for sports at all anymore.  

    It’s probably a better discussion for a different thread but I can’t make sense of any of it. 

    I think a lot of it is that they are off calendar and still far from normal if they are being played. Even watching on TV the crowd is part of the deal, and I think a lot of people find the fake crowd noise plenty off putting. I haven't watched near as much baseball as I usually do just because it seems so weird. Being in the stands for the K-State game was ok at first, but it just got progressively stranger as it went on. Overall, my sense is the desire for a diminished overall product(in the competitive and normal fan experience) is not as high as one would think.
