In terms of my personal favorites, there are more of them in 2019. Overall though, I think these are four incredibly tough brackets without much gap between.

Excited to read a book that is not about swimming!

This has to be my favorite of yours that I've heard. I might put this on my training playlist. When I think I'm at my limit, I'll just remember little WKN doing those extra laps at the local pool after his teammates have all gone home.. and I will push on. Cuz I'm a distance swimmer nowwww! -
As an athlete, of course freestyle is a lot more fun than folkstyle.. it's a lot easier physically. But as a spectator, I appreciate the grind, conditioning, toughness and various techniques required to succeed in folkstyle (getting out from bottom, tough rides on top, finishing cleanly, etc.) Folkstyle is just a much more complex version of wrestling than freestyle, and for that reason, it is my preferred style to watch.

Fanbase doesn’t prefer a style as much as they prefer the college team-based system. You could change the style from folkstyle to amish rakefighting and there’s still a built in team component and tribalistic following that appeals to more people. Olympic sports don’t draw as well as professional sports - not because of their rule sets - but more people are going to dial in to watch North Carolina or Texas anything over Team USA. There’s varied rule sets internationally in a lot of different sports vs. a U.S. domestic version. The U.S. pro sport (save soccer) will almost always outdraw an Olympic-type of comparative event.

You out did yourself there pj! Sure MP and I wished you had dropped a finfall in there somewhere but really outstanding. We should have a music thread pinned to the top with all these tunes dropped in. Maybe @nhs67 can wake up @BobDole and make it happen. -

I think it's easy to get confused about ideology when you live and work in an echo chamber. I'm sure he thought people who don't think like him we're rare. People in his circle are so far removed from everyday Americans he very much lacks the ability to relate.

That's how they do it in the dirty and corrupt south. You think the Clinton's were the only Arkansas governors to do that? Bs.

Cool link in the comments. https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2017/06/the-clintons-had-slaves the Clinton’s had slaves: Hillary Clinton was, however, generous enough to allow inmates from Arkansas prisons to work as unpaid servants in the Governor’s Mansion. In It Takes a Village, Hillary Clinton writes that the residence was staffed with “African-American men in their thirties,” since “using prison labor at the governor’s mansion was a longstanding tradition, which kept down costs.” It is unclear just how longstanding the tradition of having chained black laborers brought to work as maids and gardeners had been. But one has no doubt that as the white residents of a mansion staffed with unpaid blacks, the Clintons were continuing a certain historic Southern practice. (Hillary Clinton did note, however, that she and Bill were sure not to show undue lenience to the sla…servants, writing that “[w]e enforced rules strictly and sent back to prison any inmate who broke a rule.”

Yeah you're right. Bad take on my part, letting my disdain for pyles style of pontification develop into unfair criticisms. i'm not backing my off characterization of Pyles as void of insight and in a constant state of universal pandering, though that was a stupid time to crowbar it in.
