Wasn't Carter Starocci the self proclaimed highed paid wrestler? Not saying it isn't true, but where's the evidence that there's some sort of racism at play with the NIL deals? Anecdotally, my buddy worked at Ohio State's collective, and I saw the football spreadsheet. It was absurd, and didn't look to be any discrimination going on with the names I saw.

Well...technically, Korea. We're never signed a peace treaty, just a armistice and we're still in a "Military Engagement," with 8 or 9 Countries. But you know exactly what is meant by "forever" war. It's a quagmire in which we get bogged down with no discernible end game or clear end in sight. We JUST got out of two "forever" wars. We don't need to currently be in one to HOPE we don't "get into another forever war." I think this is different than Iraq and Afghanistan was always just...historical ignorance.

You're pretty obsessed with this. I'm not accusing Trump of starting any War(though...YOU did accuse Biden of being responsible for two Wars and he fired no shots). But conflating drone strikes against terrorists with taking out a Countries ENTIRE Nuclear System with over a DOZEN 30,000 pound MOPs? Yeah, this isn't the argument you seem to think it is.

I certainly understand why Jordan (or his PR team) thought it was the right move to deny knowing anything when the first story came out as the media could easily make him a scapegoat and try to destroy his political career. Jordan didn't do anything more or less than anyone else at the time it seems. The part for me that makes him a POS is bailing on his wrestlers, making phone calls to get others to denounce their claims, convincing Hellickson to renege on helping them get justice and zip his lip somehow, etc. They turned their back on the guys they were meant to defend through thick and thin to save face for his personal political aspirations.

Both can be true. Trump is a well known liar and worried about his image. He's also terrified of being the President who makes a mistake like Bush did with Iran. I suspect there will be people who will say, as we did after the first Iraq War, we should have gone further and taken out the leadership. But...Trump doesn't want that. Now, lets look why each side would agree to peace. Iran-They are helpless in ANY manner of actual military conflict. Israel- They got what they wanted. They may want to go further, but-> The USA- Trump's approval rating has PLUMMETED from this. I'm honestly baffled as I...don't see this as an over the top of irrational act. But people don't like it, Trump cares about that. Trump also does not want War. Of all the issues I have with Trump, he's... about as anti-War President as we've had for...a while. I don't think Carter and Trump's name belong in the same sentence, but on this front...they may. So it's pretty simple. If Israel really wants to continue this, the USA can pull their support. You take away American support and not Israel becomes much more vulnerable and they risk EASILY their most important ally. This isn't so much Trump's negotiating skill, it's the full force of easily the world's strongest military. -I think the ceasefire will continue. It's a matter of Russia or another Country and that silly bluff to arm Iran. THAT...would be bad and lead to a Global conflict.

Well Chael, as is his wont, went over the top. But you are really underselling Bo's statement. He said it's not a good place for him as a wrestler, a PERSON, or a Christian. I mean, really, you're running the Ricky Bobby "But I said with all due respect"defense.

Why do you say only Nichols? Lots of independent wealthy boosters out there. But no, not Lubert. Lubert's a trustee, so PSU retains some control over him.

Yeah, I just have a different opinion on this than you. When the Ayatollah took over, he took their most wealthiest business man and...strung him up like it was Rome. Let him hang. 80,000 Jews left, up to FIVE MILLION Iranians in total were ran from their homeland. So yeah, not only do I NOT believe they'd be upset, I believe they'd be celebrating it. I don't use anecdotal examples on here because...it's always too convenient and it always fits a person's preconceived narrative(though...I'm not exactly a Trump apologist I think you'll admit)... but I've just seen and spoken with SOO many people who've said things like "Iran isn't your enemy, the "Islamic Republic," is. The women there...not to keep going back to it, but they wore swimsuits and they drank and they went out and it was a prosperous country, Jews lived there without fear. They LOVED American Culture(hence the term "the White Revolution." All of that was stolen from them or their parents. I don't think the Cubans in the South of Florida would be upset if we bombed industrial sites. I think they'd rejoice. This isn't just "we bombed their homeland," this is "we bombed the land that they were run out of because the State wanted to rule with an Iron Fist and control how you could live your life and if you speak out(or spoke out) you could expect to be...executed.

Willie didn't mention the # of days requirement, the 250 miles, the jealousy portion, or give the level of detail this post has. Thanks for sharing @Interviewed_at_Weehawken

All of the ones he did... at the time. Same for GHW. Same for Clinton. Same for GW. Etc. etc. I don't play favorites. BUT we're living in the here and now. As interesting as history is, we've got a whole lot of bad on our hands right now - happening based on the actions the current administration is taking right now. Not a great time for serious people to try to bring up old political BS talking points. That'd be the wrong focus.

Wouldn't surprise me if some version of those words came right out of Ma and Pa Bassett's mouth just before/after Brands yelled at them to not tell him how to run his program.

OMG This is hilarious. One of the worst takes of all time. He must've called Bo a "traitor" telling a "lie" about a dozen times. Easy there, fella! Not the first kid to change his mind, and won't be the last. But his biggest gripe is Bo "took a shot at the Hawks," and "it was nasty. It was a very nasty thing." Bo "took a shot at men!" he says. Bo's actual words? “This wasn’t easy, but I believe it’s not the right fit for me as a wrestler, a person, or for my faith journey. I’m grateful for the opportunity, and I’ll never speak a bad word about their program." Um... saying a program isn't the "right fit" is a nasty shot? That's about the most common word choice I've seen for when a kid wants to explain why he didn't choose a program. But Chael saved the best for his closing. After saying we should give Bo the "grace" to change his mind," he takes it all back: "But when ya took a shot -- ya fired a shot at the ethics of the most ethical program in wrestling's history, excuse me, you do not stand on the moral high ground. Not on this one!" LOL

Not saying I don't really like THIS actor either, but he's the same guy every time... Denzel Washington. Just levels of drunk while being able to be righteous...usually. When he's the bad guy, it's mostly the same. But...he's almost always the same. But, the guy makes it work.

Obama bombed 7 countries that we know of. How may forever wars did you accuse him of starting?

i'm sure that performance at JR Trials changed things.

Soooo. I’m supposed to understand Iowa will pay millions for athletes via some elaborate poaching scheme but they won’t buy a few plane tickets (for the best recruit ever) or get one of the Iowa wrestlers to house one of them or simply rent an apartment in Iowa city for a few k a month. got it. Ok.

sorry, just seeing this thread. but the answer is 'yes'. Melvin is an Iowa lock.

Other than terrorism how many FOREVER wars are we currently in?

Could ira lubert do the same or only nichols?

True. Can't argue with that. We shall see soon enough. Hope it's not another forever war in the making - that'd be bad all the way around.

As a fancy boy trying to give me homework... look it up yourself. Here's a link: Merriam-Webster: America's Most Trusted Dictionary

Ya. Let’s see what happens if they don’t

You mean if they don't actually engage in a cease fire? That choice? I do believe they easily have that one (among others.)

As a wokester libtardo please tell us what a man is why don’t ya??

No matter how bad you are, you'll always try to pass yourself off as being good. But you'll only fool the foolish.
