  1. Past hour
  2. I'm sure it's all above board. There's zero concern about her saying something about Trump. Wants to offer her a deal, solely out of the goodness of his heart. Lol.
  3. 57kg: I do not really know what to make of Anthony Knox. He dominated the open against a field that was not super proven and then dropped a match to Ignacio Villasenor who just Dnp'd at fargo and got 4th at cadet trials. Knox showed really good counter wrestling a lot of chest wraps and he has always been great on top. I worry that if he allows guys in on his legs like he did Ignacio he may not be able to convert points like he did at trials. The biggest threats are going to be Bagirhov of Azerbijan he won the u20 European championships and took second to pavlov at u23's (pavlov is who Luke beat in the finals last year). Zangaladze from georgia took silver at Euros and beat a guy who I was very high on Ozdamirov who went on to get Bronze. Caio Aaron won pan ams over Antonio mills and he will be a tough out he is a USA guy representing Brazil and another guy wrestling in the united states that will be competing is Rin Sakamoto who took 5th at senior Asians and I think will present Knox with some serious issues. Prediction for Knox: DNP (I think he has the upside to win the entire thing I just was not thrilled with his last performance) 61kg: I fully expect Blaze to win this weight and dominate. His biggest test will likely come from Toktamotov from Kyrgestan who won the asian championships or Japans rep who did not compete there. However the guy from japan that did compete took second and I assume this guy beat him out for the spot. Jax beat the Japanese rep at cadets back in 2022. Adlan satiev (adam satievs son) is also in the field but I do not think he has much for Blaze but he is very fun to watch. Prediction for Blaze: Gold 65kg: This weight is very tough and we only have domestic data points for Blaze. Toprak and Dhzandubaev are going to be the main tests for Stanich. Toprak has been competing at juniors since he was cadet eligible and has always been in bronze medal matches, I think he is a legit top 20ish in the world senior level guy. Dhzandubaev owns two wins over him this year one by tech at u20's and one 6-4 at u23's both tournaments he won gold. I think given those results Dhzandubaev is the guy to beat but I think Stanich can certainly do so. I worry a bit that international refs may be quicker to hit stanich with passivity and for that I think I am giving Dhzandubaev the edge but again I think he can win the entire thing Prediction for Stanich: Silver 70kg: I mean I do not think there is a ton to go into here PJ should demolish this field. I think the second and third best u20 guys in the world could very well be Melvin Miller and Landon Robideau. Baitukaev has aged out but even if he was in this field I would still confidently pick PJ. Prediction for PJ: Gold 74kg: This weight is good. Khaniev took 5th at u23's last year as a 17 year old and won u23 euros this year. He did however lose to Manuel wagin at u20 euros who is also in this field and beat Melvin miller 7-0 last year at cadets. After saying all that I am still picking Ladarion but he will definitely be tested. Prediction for Lockett: Gold 79kg: For my money this is the deepest weight at worlds. Fortunately Shamispour is not competing for Iran he is a monster won cadets last year beating Wagin and was firmly in the running to potentially make Irans senior team. Begenjov from Turkmenistan is the returning champ and is an absolute monster he beat Ryder soundly in the finals. However he did lose in the asian semis to Amit from india who went on to beat shamispour in the finals. He was leading 6-1 at the time of getting pinned though so he is still my pick. Saidulov the russian rep is also good he took 5th last year but he lost to LJ Araujo who Henckel just handled so I dont see him as being a huge threat. Prediction for henckel: Bronze 86kg: This weight is kind of a 2 horse race for me. Papinashvilli from Georgia is very good he beat the returning bronze medalist from Turkey in the Euro finals and I think he is really the only guy that can go with Max. That being said I really like Max's pace and offense against the European guys. prediction for Mcenelly: Gold 92kg: Poyonov is a legit probably top 10 guy senior level at this weight. He took silver at senior asians last year and fifth this year only losing to firouzpour 5-0 who is probably the favorite to win worlds and dauletbekov 2-1 who is a former world medalist. Togoev I do not know anything about he is 18 and won Euros but his age makes me optimistic Connor will have a physicality advantage. Prediction for Connor: Silver 97kg: Erfan the Iranian is a monster he won bronze at cadets in 2022 but dominated his way through u20 asians and lost 3-2 to Yoshida in the finals of the ranking series (Yoshida beat Snyder this year). He will be a decided favorite over Radamacher but I expect Radamacher to able to medal against this field like he did last year. Genos brother? Konstanine Petriashvilli is also in this field and he won Euros. I think he has improved a lot but he had a very close match with Elijah Diakomihlais last year who got the spot because Dreshaun was hurt and Dreshaun teched him to make the team so I like Radamacher in that one. Prediction for Radamacher: silver 125kg: I truthfully do not know much outside of Gogolaev obliterated the field at euros and the Russian people seem to think he is going to fix their heavyweight issues. Cole is going to be able to wrestle with everyone there I do worry about his size a bit and giving up ground. I would have loved to see him hit Merill at some point to see how he handles that. Prediction for Cole: Silver

  4. At least Bill understood that communism needed to be slowed down.
  5. First card attributed to the man who got RAF off the ground, at the very least helped, so I don’t think this news tanks it
  6. Without question. He also marked the death of the Democratic Party as a labor-focused party. Clinton led the Neoliberal turn to the right on economics, which severely damaged the Dems influence with working class voters, and ultimately (ironically) culminated in Trump's victory over Hillary.
  7. There she goes...
  8. God's way of saying He prefers folkstyle.
  9. Today
  10. South Parking is jumping back into the fray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afetnw70S04&rco=1
  11. Watch the Roger Kish match where Ben bumped up a weight in the dual against Minnesota. Ben stopped bumping up after that against the top guys. Same in freestyle. Cut way to much weight to make 163 in my opinion. This is one of many. He was just not natural physically strong. He was very fortunate to make an Olympic Team. Great trials win that year for Ben! Just can't put him on the 25 year team. Close but a few guys deserve it over him.
  12. He had a Republican congress for a time where he had to compromise and they were able to get legislation through. I do remember that, but I really can't think of any great policies he had. Overall times were decent but I don't think he had much to do with it. Between him and Bush, their long term consequences we bad for America.
  13. I don't disagree with anything you said in your recent post. My initial disagreement was that in the current state of college wrestling, leading wrestler's routinely fail to fulfill any requirements for "not stalling" and still don't get called.. on a reset with 30 seconds left, the leading wrestler can immediately move backwards off the whistle all the way to the edge and virtually never get called for stalling the first time they use this tactic, once their opponent closes the gap, they either wrestle on the edge where they can kick OB if in danger, or they will literally run in a big circle to "re-center" taking more time of the clock refusing to engage in contact. They aren't disguising or fooling anyone, and the refs are still swallowing their whistle. It's the job of the referees to call stalling when it's clear, and the referees have allowed egregious stalling tactics for too long. Maybe we're in agreement and misunderstood each other's argument. I understand good stalling tactics, but one of the main tactics I see used today is blatant stalling and betting that the referee won't make the big call. Ayala should have been hit half a dozen times in the finals against Byrd.
  14. I don't agree that he was a very good president, but he did a lot of things that Conservatives say they like, specifically tough on crime and ran a surplus.
  15. The Real American has passed away. Wonder how this impacts RAF
  16. It's just baby fat
  17. As he gets younger, he gets heavier It's usually the other way around
  18. He hasn't really said, and I haven't asked him yet, but I want to think he fell off of a horse and got kicked. His family has been into rodeo from what I understand for many years. I'll try to find out.
  19. No. There's attorney client privilege so it would be tough to get much from the attorney.
  20. I’m holding out for a Milwaukee Crackers hat. Go crackers!!
  21. Slip N Tweet has those selective reading skills out in full force AGAIN
  22. Again you’re full of and a LIAR. Release the list and hold EVERYONE ON IT ACCOUNTABLE. Bill, Obama, the prince and the Orange Man can all share a cell.
  23. Why does one of the oldest “civilizations” in the world have one of the least “civilized” societies in the world. Maybe you should look up the difference between the two. Blame the regime all you want but until the people themselves actually do something about it the characteristics of your society will continue to be third world. At least in America we get an opportunity to vote/change our regime every four years. Back in the boat for more fishing today. Ba bye.
  24. You can for the record this. Anyone. Trump included who raped little girls should rot in prison.
  25. Without starting a new debate, what made Bill a very good president?
  26. Controlling the Epstein files is like possessing the Ring in Lord of the Rings. Once you have the power over the people "on the list" your job as president gets much easier.
