They were undercover as business men. Homan was offering insider connections for contracts in exchange for cash (allegedly). Standard corruption. It's exactly the kind of operation that Trump implicitly ran on when he promised to clean out the swamp. Unfortunately, his administration seems to throw the fish back if it has an R next to it.

This may be a dumb question. What kind of contracts would an FBI agent be looking for?

Mistake...

My top 2 are Levi and Zahid. Zahid's improvement was really just jaw dropping. Not just the one sided win over Ghasempour, but the dominating win in the finals against the Japanese guy who had absolutely demolished him 2 years ago. Levi I had as a likely DNP. But he knocked off a world champ, and was just a hair away from a world title. I've been whining for months about how Dake should've been at 79kg until the Olympics, and while that may still be true, Levi definitely shut me up.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I wouldn't include Woods on this list at all, much less at/near the top. His bronze was unexpected, yes. But to me, the only thing surprising about Woods was his draw. Woods was maybe the 7th or 8th best wrestler there, but then when the draw came out, only one of the superior guys was on his side of the bracket, while the other bracket had the other 5 or 6 studs who are likely better than him. It was an extraordinarily fortunate draw that gave him a path to a bronze on Amouzad's coattails. To Woods' credit, he took full advantage of the gift that was given to him, wrestling to his full potential and avoiding any upsets. That's no small feat. But there's nothing I saw in his wrestling that showed me he's better than what I thought going into Worlds. If you draw that bracket 10 times, 9 out of the 10 times there's going to be more than one other stud in his side of the bracket and he doesn't medal. I see Woods as a Joe Colon or Brandon Eggum type guy... he unexpectedly got a shot at the world team and rode his draw to a medal, which is AWESOME, but the odds of him making another world team (let alone medaling again) are slim. Happy to have him prove me wrong.

My bad. Down 10-2, huge difference

The problem with politicians is both parties are full of crooks. And both parties ignore their crooks and yammer on about the other sides crooks. Then they rinse repeats this process every n years when the parties come in and out of power. That goes for the fans of the parties like you see on this board. I forgot who said it. And tbh it doesn’t matter but one argument on this board was trying to measure how bad person As comment was vs Bs comment. This is a function of what I described above as if you can articulate my bad comment was slightly less bad than your bad comment then you can start to look the other way regarding your party and continue to yammer on about how bad the other party is. term limits please. More term limits. Congress is trash. Local government is more corrupt and worse somehow.

I think asking these two to do that might crater their collective brain power for the next few days, maybe the week.

To echo others, center control is valued above all else. Also, there are certain rough time markers in bouts where someone will be called for passivity, no matter what, if scoring isn't happening. Then it's simply, " who's controlling the center less?"

lock him up. pretty simple.

Freestyle values different things. Carr was the aggressor as far as trying to create offense (at least to us folkstyle fans), but his back isn't to the center and he didn't finish the shots so it doesn't count to the refs.

One thing I have always been consistent on is that if someone, no matter what letter they have after their name, broke the law in any way they should be held accountable. This holds true for Homan, if the allegations are found to be true. And honestly, I don't know too much about his specific case.

I think the bribe went to the big guy

Nolf made it seem so on Flo

Willie just said Bo is visiting VaTech soon and he thinks he will make his announcement very soon, probably in October

Is Penn State actually recruiting Bassett?

True but still. Because Kent State opted in to the new law that means a couple dozen of the current kids on the roster will be cut! Ouch! Just when you think your spot is safe!

I respect your opinion, it is a bit hard to compare for me because of Bo's attempts at senior level tournaments where Melvin has not. Melvin's best win is nothing compared to Bo. Melvin's best opponent is PJ Duke and wrestled him tough.

The Las Vegas shooter had made some statements supporting and apparently held some sovereign citizen type views. I definitely wouldn't call SovCits left wing at all.

Can one of our conservatives defend Homan's actions - accepting a bribe on tape - or are you going to deflect? Isn't Trump supposed to be draining the swamp? This looks pretty swampy. @JimmySpeaks @Bigbrog @Scouts Honor @Caveira

If they can get Downey back at 157 and Thomsen at 165, that's a good team.

I agree with you. KOT is a maybe, and JB is also a maybe. The last time JB wrestled the Iranian who ended up taking bronze, he lost at the 2024 Worlds. And while Usmanov won in 2023, JB didn’t even make the team that year - father time is undefeated. As for Dake, he’s an unknown to me as well. Too many of his matches are uncomfortably close for me to call him a clear upgrade.

This particular conversation started in response to Keith Olbermann. He was speaking to Robinson’s possible motive, and was not justifying the killing. In fact he didn’t even get into any detail about what Kirk said. Then @Caveira came in and asked “yeah but how was he a threat???” You can’t ask a question then when someone answers it claim they’re justifying murder.

The whole point is, you are coming off as the person who says, "Yeah his death was bad and it shouldn't have happened, BUT......" There is no "but..."!! Period! If you disagree with that then I am not sure how anyone wouldn't think you are trying to soften his assassination or have the thought that somehow Charlie deserved it. As for you and I debating the things he has said and how they can be interpreted, I'd love to have that civil conversation outside the context of Charlie being assassinated.
