Atlanta Braves v. St. Louis Cardinals
Playoff baseball finally returned to Atlanta. The city was hot, the Cardinals were on fumes, and everyone wanted to see the Chipper Jones make one last run at postseason glory. The fans came ready. Unfortunately, Atlanta imploded under the playoff pressure. The team committed multiple errors and the umpires made a horrible in-field fly call. The fans revoked and trash flew. St. Louis capitalized and crushed the Braves 6-3. I am not much of a baseball fan, but thanks for the memories Chipper.

Georgia Bulldogs v. South Carolina Gamecocks
This was the marquee match-up of the week. ESPN sent the Game Day crew to Columbia, South Carolina to hype the match-up of undefeated #5 Georgia versus undefeated #6 South Carolina. Unfortunately, the game was over before it started as the Bulldogs were embarrassed by the Gamecocks. The Chickens punched, punched, and continued to punch the Dawgs in the face. UGA never responded. The final score was 35-7, but it felt worse. Carolina fans were right to chant – “overrated”.

President Barack Obama v. Governor Mitt Romney, Debate #1
Regardless of whether Obama was employing the “rope-a-dope” technique, he looked tired, preoccupied, and disinterested – qualities that do not help a person get reelected. Additionally, Obama seemed unprepared, which probably stemmed from Romney’s shameful pivot from candidate with “severely conservative” views to candidate with moderate Republican views. Romney clearly does not mind lying if it gets him elected. Regardless, couple Obama’s poor performance with Romney’s energetic presentations of his “new” positions and you get a debate beat down and Romney victory.

Vice President Joe Biden v. Congressman Paul Ryan, Debate #2
Biden – verbally and nonverbally – finally said what most Democrats have been thinking throughout this presidential campaign – the Republicans only care about tax cuts for richest of Americans at the expense of everyone else and expansion of government for the purpose of controlling women’s reproductive rights. More importantly, Biden acknowledged that the current Republicans’ are full of “malarkey”. It was beautiful performance and beat down that Democrats needed.

President Barack Obama v. Governor Mitt Romney, Debate #3
Obama needed to bounce back from his poor first debate and establish that he is the president and America is better served with him in the office. He took the facts to Romney, challenged Romney’s “new” positions and reminded the country that Romney believes that 47% of the citizens are losers. Most importantly, he called Romney out for politicizing the terrorist attack. The look on Romney’s face established the significance of the beat down.
