This or That - Round 42

I don't watch it anymore, so I'm not bothered whether they do or they don't. As you say, the choreo doesn't get a score, so it doesn't matter if it is removed

Will Jason Brown make the American team for the Olympics - Yes or No?

This morning, reports are that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is close to an agreement on a new five-year extension that runs through 2024. His current contract runs until 2019 and the new contract means that Goodell would oversee the new negotiations with the players' union when that contract runs out in 2020.

Does Goodell deserve the new deal?

YES - Goodell is AWESOME SAUCE! Any player problems are issues within the individual teams.
or
NO - Ray Rice. Tom Brady and the Deflate-gate fiasco. Player safety and concussions. And now Ezekiel Elliot. Goodell is clearly a hot mess!

BTW, I'm kinda over the freak out over what's supposed to happen today. I get that the last time it happened in the U.S. was in April 1918 and February 1979 - but are aliens coming to visit too?

I live in the DC area and we are supposed to get an about an 82% eclipse. I guess I will see what happens at around 2:30pm.

After the Charlottesville violence, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg promised the social network will take down any post that "promotes or celebrates hate crimes or acts of terrorism."

Nothing! The whole show was GREAT!

A mom really can't be that good friends with her daughter - especially when she's still a minor.
or
The insane amount of dialogue
or
Stars Hollow - NO entire small town is that quirky. The "townies" were insane.
or
The rift between Lorelai and her parents - Richard & Emily were just rich snobby people - they weren't horrible. They were fairly good people who didn't deserve Lorelai running away with baby Rory.
or
Rory being considered a "promise child." Was she really that talented - or just constantly talked about how she was?
