There would be too many apologies you’d have to make is why you won’t

So USA, Iran and Japan got 70% of the gold medals Russia, Greece and North Korea got one each.

More info came out today. Read it. More than once in his text messages to his roommate he refers to the roomie as “my love”. Ya that’s just speculation

Oh and he did it for his transitioning lover which so obvious.

He wrote antifa lingo on the bullets. Sorry transtifa and antifa are becoming so intertwined that I sometimes mix them up

This is a prime example where context matters. Yes Kirk was tasteless and blunt against terrorism in that clip. Who? The specific Muslims from a specific area that murdered Israelis and who would murder their gay American supporters. This is not a slur against all Muslims.

I would argue Russia routinely sends high quality fresh faces to some degree. Of course they tend to keep tried and true in the running longer than we do with team trials.

I apologize to both @red viking and @ThreePointTakedown for tagging the wrong member.

57kg: Spencer over Luke 65kg: Jax over Blaze (Call me crazy but I think this is the toughest match he has in 2028) 74kg: PJ over Mitchell/Carr 86kg: Zahid over max 97kg: Rademacher over Snyder 125kg: Dreshaun I hope over Wyatt

Some would call moving from NC to PA to work out with the McCort room a path other people might not take

The conservative adds a third example. ... 'all conservatives'... SSSHALLENGEEE LOSTTT

No, I don't think so. He is short, but has been 213lbs for a long time with very low body fat percent. He isn't smaller just short.

Damn. Thanks.

This was like ten years ago. Akgul was in his prime and Snyder still very young.

If he is at least 50% then you are taking him over the field?

It should be really easy for you @red viking and much harder for me. This example is an apology to you.

One example:

@Jon_Kozak credit goes to the cesspool when Pyles miraculously brings this up on FRL

I don't think there was an option to appeal. I think it was just an official complaint

Is it me, or did Cuba's slide coincide with Covid? I'm sure they were already on the downturn, but things seem to have gotten worse since. Maybe the world economy pst-Covid has hit them even harder than everyone else.

Ed Ruth had a couple of issues. Then there was Andrew Long

No Sad. Ex-pats outscoring them. MMA. They beat Japan with Sad. Japan looks better with Higuchi and Ono, but those two never planned to wrestle. Sad did.

Makes sense... the PSU fans said the whole story was fishy.
