@Husker_Du has semi-backed him up on this one on Twitter, so maybe this one is accurate, but the guy is still a moron.

CAN WE PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT AJ FERRARI GOING TO IOWA I'M BREAKING OUT IN HIVES!

Middlemen went to prison. Regular folk like us. Not the big guys who are actually spending the money.

I think that people paying money for NIL purposes would want those athletes at the highest profile places to get the most visibility.

Follow up: the.make up is going VERY slowly as Elon is posting screenshots of their Signal chats now, lol. https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/10/23678105/elon-musk-substack-notes-battle-matt-taibbi?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=news_tab

I'm not truly an insider, so I would say no based on the fact Iowa wasn't mentioned in his top 7.

I dunno. I'm certainly not a ranker. To my eye, I think Ferrari and Sealey are the best guys in the year, but that's all gut feeling.

I think he's taken a couple of losses recently, so I'm not sure if he will, in fact, be the #1 overall recruit, but either way, very high level kid.

So the suppression of the speech by private entity Twitter (which legally I have no problem with though morally I would quibble with) is ok and good, or overlooked because it MAY have gone back to "normal"? Isn't Elon's whole thing "free speech absolutism"? Because....well this only the latest example of it not actually being his thing, only speech that he agrees with and/or serves his financial interests. Also, I see no evidence of a make up, Taibbi's most recent comment as to attempt to disprove Elon's claim that he is an employee of Substack.

Nah, I'm just busting @nhs67's balls a bit from last year when he kept insisting Reyna was a threat to take a starting spot. Reyna is a tough kid, but never developed into a high level D1 wrestler.

Somebody might want to look into Bretli Reyna.

I agree that Penn State is the stalking horse in modern NCAA wrestling. I think Iowa can make a strong claim that they would be better for developing Nagao, given their track record at the lower weights, whereas Penn State's "holes" tend to be down this way, but that's a relative term for Penn State, since their big hitters tend to be 165 and up; they still have had RBY and Nick Lee recently, and with regard to RTC talent, you're 100% right, nobody is within a mile of NLWC right now. It was super sweet of Nagao and Basch to run cover on the potential money portion of this, but I refuse to believe that God (if they exist) has an opinion on which school Nagao wrestles for. This is a Nagao decision, and that's fine! I don't begrudge him that, even if he end up at Penn State and I suddenly realize I have always hated him!

While I appreciate that the tone of the thread is now assuming he goes to Iowa, I think it's relatively clear that, as of now, he's a pretty heavy lean to Penn State.

OMG, this whole thing was a terrible abortion analogy? Lol.

Hey @BAC, here's an example! There were a bunch of threads expressing similar sentiments.

Oh, well, if the person accused says it...

ESPN literally said on air that he wasn't in the building, and people were running rampant with that narrative to demolish him, including on these boards. I think your painting of him as a beloved figure outside of Iowa wrestling is not based in reality.

1. "Please explain how I'm not asking legitimate questions" - literally the second half of that sentence you're responding to explains that. 2. "You keep throwing out that "i'm a lawyer" b.s. over something that doesn't take having your expertise..." - statutory interpretation and legislative intent are literally a huge part of what I do every ***duck duck goose** day, what are you talking about? 3. I'll just respond generally to your meandering thing about the language of the legislation. The legislation is written overbroad specifically because it creates the situations desired outcomes of curtailing discussion of the undesired speech. They are currently building on that pervious outcome with new legislation that expands it: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/31/florida-house-parental-rights-bill-pronouns-lgbtq-00089971 And on and on we go. I never said all Floridians and all teachers hate it, because guess what, dumbass, there will never be anything that all people hate. I'm telling you what the outcomes have been in the targeted communities. I never said anything about the people on the board put in to oversee the Reedy Creek district (and not Disney, dope) are anti-gay, though there is substantial reporting that says that at least one of the guys has made several homophobic remarks, including calling gay people evil. And again, I didn't claim Desantis is responsible for the insurance debacle, you just keep putting other people's arguments into my mouth because it suits, but he has definitely exacerbated the problem with his legislation that is entirely designed to favor the insurance companies over the insured. People DO buy multiple policies, and then the insurance companies don't pay them, and have lobbied for (and been given) legislation from Desantis and his predecessors that make it harder to force them to pay on the policies that people buy. Again, keep putting words in my mouth, I have never said that this is some slam dunk prosecution, you just keep making shit up because your entire value in life is tied up in your political ideology, and you want to feel smarter on a subject than you actually are.

Actual imminent danger vs. perceived potential danger. If you drive while drunk, there is a penalty for that. It is not death.

Homicide is, definitionally, a neutral term that just means a person has killed another person. Whether or not that homicide meets the elements of the charge of murder is a different thing. No, it is not nor should it be legal to murder someone for what you think they might do.

The only connection I can make is when the Trump White House reached out to Twitter seeking to have a private citizen Chrissy Teigen's rude Tweet taken down, but the "Twitter Files" avoided discussing that, instead focusing on the Biden campaigns requests to have Hunter Biden's dick pics taken down. Is that what you're referring to? There have been like 19 "Twitter Files" infodumps.

Twitter files Trump what?

Flights booked. Hotel booked. Trying to decide if I'm too cheap to spend the extra $12 to buy the tickets ahead of time....

Except it's not tit for tat, because there's a difference between citizens and private companies enacting repercussions for speech they don't agree with versus a governmental entity.
