Was Jon Gruden a good hire by the Oakland Raiders?


Jack Del Rio was fired after a disappointing 6-10 season and only going 25-23 as head coach of the Raiders in 3 seasons. During that stretch they posted one winning season and one playoff appearance. Quickly after the release of Del Rio they announce that they have intentions of signing and did sign Jon Gruden for a 10 year/$100 million deal. My position is that it is a great hire by the Oakland Raiders, because Gruden has had several years to reflect and still remain close to the game through v...

Curling is a sport


This is a challenge to a debate over whether or not curling [ice and broom and stone] is a sport. I look forward to a rousing and interesting debate on this subject. Having played III seasons of curling in high school, ultimately lettering in it, I will be making the case that curling is in fact a sport. The burden of proof that it is not rests on my opponent. I am excited for this debate, and hope to have a good, civil, kind, and well thought out debate. Thank you in advance to whoever wishes t...
Sports fun or not?


Even though many people have fond memories of sports and like to play sports in reality most sports are either too violent or too boring. Football is too physical,soccer is boring, baseball is boring so on so on. I don't really get how people could really play with a ball for such a long time and just never get bored. I know sports is supposed to be a simple joy but to me sports is very boring and narrow. While videogames have a wide variety of types. MIllions of completely different games, and...
BYU Cougars. Fire head coach Kalani Sitake after terrible season?


First round is for acceptance. The 2nd round is for arguments. The 3rd round is for rebuttals, and the 4th round is for closing statements. I previously accepted a debate with the above debate title, not knowing it was only one round. However, since I found the topic extremely interesting, I"d like to have a friendly debate with someone about it. Preferably, whoever accepts should be knowledgeable about either the BYU Cougars football program, or college football in general. However, if you"r...
BYU Cougars. Fire head coach Kalani Sitake after terrible season?


Think of all the good that the new head coach has done his his couple years there. I mean sure, they were terrible this year, but that's not all his fault. It was the Offense in my opinion that were the worst. I'm not going to point fingers, but the offensive coordinator wasn't the best at his job. But that has nothing to say for the amazing skill that kalani sitake has for coaching. When he was at oregon state he was an excellent coach. his ability to coach has grown a lot since then....

NASCAR is for trailer trash rednecks and hillbilly's


NASCAR is not a sport, this is just retarded entertainment for the beer drinking redneck and hillbilly who like to sit there for hours watching the cars go around a circle 500 times. Wow what a concept, I think I outgrew the cars around the track when I was 6 and had the Matel dinky car set. What type of sport is this where all the driver has to do is hold the steering wheel to the left for 500 laps. Wow what excitement? I guess if you are a trailer park degenerate and nothing is gong on at...
