The 1981 190 bracket gets a -80.5 using my metric. But that is a little meaningless as three of the seeded wrestlers lost to non-semifinalists and were eliminated after going 0-1. Back then only the losers to the semifinalists/finalists made the consolation bracket. Without the opportunity to wrestle back it is really hard to compare across eras.

I don’t know who’s worse. But hard core religion is bad.

The Crackster and the wokester will both just plead insanity.

Yes. Dimocrat lawyers must be up to their necks. One thing though to Aaron’s take, the ICA wasn’t done as a report to the president, or anyone else in the IC. It was designed and directed by the president to be presented by the media. One reason this ICA was so different from earlier reports was that they were concerned with cyberattacks from the usual suspects, but mainly China. China was so deep into the systems of Obama, McCain, and Romney that it’s said that China knew who Obama’s administrative selections were before the selectees were notified.

I can’t wait to hear how a certain person jumps to the other side of the fence on this one.

I wonder if there is concern for him that Taz ends up at heavy.

For context I think the 2006 157 bracket finished at -32.5 for the top 8. By my metric (which is just one way to view this) there are 17 more busted brackets above.

Bahrain had more Olympic champs last year. That 97/125 combo would have been lethal for the next 10+ years.

First lady Melania Trump is putting Hunter Biden on $1 billion notice over what she claims are "false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements" made about her, demanding he immediately remove and retract the content and issue an apology or face legal action ...

WrestlingRasta, man, “Allahu Akbar” isn’t just something Arabs say. All Muslims say it. Take Iran for example - most folks there aren’t Arab, and a lot of them don’t even understand Arabic, but you’ll still hear “Allahu Akbar” all the time. Same with Muslims in other places - like Muslim Russians - they use it a lot too. The thing is, the Quran’s in Arabic, and “Allahu Akbar,” which means “God is great,” pops up in it over and over. It’s also in a bunch of Muslim prayers and chants, so even people who don’t speak Arabic pick up those common phrases and use ’em without even thinking about it. I haven’t watched the video in this thread, so I don’t know if that guy’s Arab or not, but either way, it’s not just an “Arab thing.”

This . Sure are some slow fu;+$r$ on here

I think this was one of the first things I did in 2021 when I first started gathering data. I only looked at 2010-present (because that was all I had). At that time the 2016 174 bracket was the most busted by far using my criteria. And that is still true. To do this I calculated the difference between the seed and the finish for the top 8 seeds in every bracket. For finishes outside of the podium I used the mid-point of the range. For a bloodround finish (9-12) a wrestler gets credit for finishing 10.5. Going 0-2 put you in the 25 to 32 range so you get credit for 28.5. And so forth. The #2 seed (Brain Realbuto - Cornell) and the #4 seed (Ethan Ramos - North Carolina) both going 0-2 really killed this bracket. But with only 3 of the top 8 finishing on the podium, it was an uphill fight regardless.

Proof?

Some of these modern day weed strains, just sitting in a bag in a drawer wrapped in a sock - brand new and not having been smoked at all - can not only stink up a room, it can be smelled on different floors of a house. Incredibly pungent. These days, dogs are not necessarily required to detect unsmoked pot...a human nose suffices.

Not necessarily compared to fundamentalist Christians.

It shows.

I think the implied idea is Muslim men statistically let their women have less decision power in the household etc vs traditional Americans.

I made a factual statement is all. I never even read the article sooooooo

That would be correct. I think these 2 are the clear front-runners with some debate on which takes the cake. Rough math says there were 45 tournaments between 1979-2025. 450 brackets. 2 had no top-4 seed (0.4%) in the semifinals. 900 semifinal matches. 67 of those didn't include a top-4 seed (7.4%). You'd expect 0.56% brackets to not have a top-4 seed, which lines up.

Epstein wasn’t convicted of enough crimes…. should have been more imo. Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges in Florida for solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution from a minor. He was sentenced to 18 months in a minimum-security facility but was released after serving less than 13 months, as part of a controversial plea deal.

Wasn’t one of the charges child prostitution? And child abuse.

The distraction tactics are working so well that some on here are actually trying to deflect and defend for these proven pedophiles, to the point they’re more interested in defend and deflect than they are the truth. Wow. It’s sick.
