Plenty of boxing analysts disagree re: top 50 ranking. You and I are not boxing experts at all.

Horrible ChatGPT KMF: Subject: RE: Penn State in Hot Water? Pour Me a Glass Well boys, I been sittin’ on the front porch with a lukewarm can of Shasta and a possum named Larry, watchin’ this Penn State saga unfold like a dollar store lawn chair under a 300-pound uncle at a family reunion. Now I ain’t sayin’ Kale’s got skeletons, but I heard one of ’em pinned an Iowa assistant coach in a wrestle-off behind the Sheetz last month. Word travels fast in the wrestling world—faster than a small-town rumor and twice as dramatic. Y’all remember when Penn State was just a sleepy program where dreams went to retire next to JoePa’s glasses collection? Then Kale rolls in like a protein-powered cult leader with the charisma of a tractor salesman and suddenly they’re turnin’ farm boys into Olympic cyborgs. Something fishy? Maybe. Or maybe he just uses shampoo with more grit than our NCAA compliance team. Now all this negative press? I seen more stable situations in a goat rodeo. Transfers bouncin’ around like they’re in a bingo tumbler, coaches speakin’ in tongues, NIL deals bigger than the GDP of West Virginia (God bless her). I tell ya, if the truth ever fully comes out, they’re gonna need a documentary narrated by Ric Flair just to cover Act I. But hey, until then, I’ll be over here grillin’ Spam with Larry the Possum, countin’ Penn State All-Americans and waitin’ for the NCAA to enforce somethin’—which is about as likely as me winning a vegan chili cook-off in Des Moines.

This is a whole sordid tale. This script is really amazing. mspart

This is great news. His body just needs to not reject the new lungs. Great news for Ben. Best wishes for his recovery. It is an amazing thing that lungs can be transplanted. This was not possible just a few decades ago. mspart

That is not the issue. Creepy yes but age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16 years of age as long as there is not a defined power dynamic . The issue is what she accused him of after she was invited to his home

Oh, I thought she was a PSU student. Man, he's making AJ look like a saint by comparison.

And I’m saying that has absolutely zero to do with the fact that he’s not a top 50 boxer. He’s the Savanah Bananas of boxing. Some skill? Yes for sure. Puts on a spectacle? Sure. World class?? Not even close.

Says the guy with stage four TDS

Relubrication; (much nicer than Rectal probing) it is a good practice to add engine oil if the level is low when checking it

I'm saying all the guys he knocked out recently would ko anybody on here. Some people here seem to think he's a complete joke. I wouldn't be surprised if some really dumb people like Jimmy think they could last a round with him.

So the thread does involve Starocci, indirectly. If not for the Starocci injury, Lewis would not have been the #1 seed in 2024.

yeah but is that a topic for the non wrestling topics page or are you throwing smoke bombs in this topic.

All top 50, or hell top 100, boxers who participate on the forumn, check in here…

pretty good but a bit too much punctuation for mFlap ifn ewe no what i mean

Fair enough. This isn't a fair equivalent but the type of bullying I was witness to during swim practice included: kicking vigorously in the face of someone during kickboard sets, vigorously dolphin kicking into someone's chest or abdomen during a flip turn and streamline, yanking on somebody's ankle to pass them, smacking a swimmer across the face during butterfly sets intentionally. Shower/locker room shenanigans ended up causing a very prominent club to shut down and disband in my state when I was in high school.

My Grok prompt… With all of the negative news around the Penn State wrestling program in the last few weeks, can you formulate a short and funny press release that could be made by the head coach Cael Sanderson? Then… Can you write it in the style of the character Kentucky Mudflap that used to be popular in the wrestling forums?

I have to say that (alleged) oil checking and 5 on 2s would be even more reprehensible in a swim practice!

Bad, as in milquetoast? If a star swimmer went public with these types of allegations against a teammate, there would be hollerings of toxic team culture and/or statements about the coach losing control of the program. And that would happen even to programs/swimmers with pristine reputations. Curious how so many people are willing to play vigorous defense for Carter "Graveyard exterior designer" Starocci

Parts of several fights. I didn't pay anything. Doesn't take absolute greatness to make top 50. He gave fury, #39, a tough fight 2.5 years ago and he's much better now. I bet he'd be favored or very even odds if they fought again. Look, I don't like the guy either, but I can set that aside and recognize he's a legit pro fighter now. He's being very strategic about who he fights but those guys would also knock out everybody on this forum in the 1st round.

It’s not shocking who they are. This thread definitely shakes the idiots out of the idiot tree.

So happy to read this update. Hoping more good news over the coming weeks as he heals. I expect nothing can be taken for granted … still a scary situation I figure.

Hate to say it but I saw this coming back in 2018. We were at World Championships in Budapest heading to our hotel from the event about 10pm and saw Aaron Brooks ahead of us. At that time, he had committed to PSU but was still out in Colorado Springs. He jumped the turnstile to the Subway without paying (when he thought nobody was watching). I turned to my brother and said, "Now there's a dude who will have no problem using PEDs." For the record, we would have jumped it too, but our fat a$$es would have ended up on an Insta bloopers reel so we paid.
