What happened to Armchair showdowns?

11
Vote

by user Calamity Francis

I thought the 'Armchair Showdown' was a great addition to the site, yet there has only been one to date (Jemma and Alex from the UK versus, well, themselves). I ask two things of you Armchair community:

1. Find a great topic for two combantants to debate on
2. Vote for two users to do the debating.

As a community, we are constantly debating each other on interesting topics in intelligent ways and it would be nice to see a successful showdown.

Game on!

Anyone who wishes a showndown can challenge me via a link on my user page. The link is easy to create if you want to copy/paste it into your user page -- just replace "DNL" with your username (replacing spaces with underscores).

I would love to see a showdown involving Aswaff or Christof. Those guys know how to argue.

give me any topic I'll DEBATE either side... give me a GOOD topic, I'll ARGUE your freakin' eyes off (it's hard to type somebody's ears off...even Stephen A isn't capable of that) I'll throw my well-broken in hat into the ring (given the timing is ok, I am a family man with priorities, no - seriously)

who do you want to debate, and what topic do you want to talk about?

Well, anything is fine - I can see both sides of everything, and more often than not a third view as well...I argue with myself all day - steak or chicken? Left pant leg or Right? Dr Cheer or Mr Pibb? but I would love to debate why there is always more people willing to spew negativity as opposed to a lack of glorifying and the positive aspects in sport...maybe it's me and my Philly Area upbringing, but people always BOO louder than they cheer...

oops, forgot to tell you why... More upside, athleticism and he has length (just playing Hubie Brown) - seriously, because he just seems more motivated to me and his jock doesn't smell like everyone's breath yet. (wait... does that mean I was sniffing his jock?) I would have to do a little research and get my facts straight before engaging fully. You couldn't lose with any of them, ultimately.

Welcome to ArmchairGM.com !!! Go get yourself a login and join the fun. We appreciate intelligent, informed sports opinions, rating the sexiness of the same small handful of female athletes and perpetuating hilariously unsubstantiated rumors...

I like the idea of a Wright vs. Arod debate. Let's settle this once and for all. Who is in?

I can do either side you need. Also, we will need to decide if it will be who is better right now, over the next five years, or what?

"Also, we will need to decide if it will be who is better right now, over the next five years, or what?' - That can be up to the (master)debaters.

I'll stick up for ole' Blue Lips any day... we are all witnessing one of the very greatest ever, even if he is eminently unlikeable and a wuss... (the slap, the fact he wouldn't step in the box vs. Jennie Finch on TWIB)
