Didn’t get the most out of Chad Red. Not necessarily Mannings fault tho

2 point takedown and a push out. This is going to increase the amount of points scored and make giving up a takedown less risky. It also increases the impact of stall calls.

Why are the announcers telling us how to game the stall calls? I’d say that’s proof that edge stalling is broke.

One of the downsides to a 3 pt takedown…. Makes stalling points less impactful.

Until he engages. You should not be able to just run away for the last 20 percent of the match. If you are backing up and not engaging, how is that anything but stalling?

I don’t understand how we can continue to allow a guy up by a takedown to just run for an entire period…. The moment you are actually running away? Call the stall. I don’t care if you were just hit. This is a joke.

Ran for 40 seconds straight…. This is hard to watch.

Edge wrestling and judgment calls are the problem. The alternative is a push out rule and a closer move to freestyle. The downside is less close matches and upsets. People don’t want to lose the chess match either.

Push someone out in the first period and play d the rest of the way…. More acting than wrestling.

Reward the aggressor, that should be 3.

For sure, but the refs don’t want to make the call.

They will happily call stalling when it has no impact on the match…. 1 pt match with 20 seconds left and a guy has his running shoes on? They will never call it.

3 stall calls in this match, how many at 125? Doing absolutely nothing appears to be a better strategy than engaging and having to play D.

You’re going to call the stall there? He didn’t bail, he sprawled.

Carter pushing to the edge and then shooting is stalling.

That guy definitely ain’t Greek… looks like he is straight from the caucus mountains.

NAIA is just the Wild West… been to the natty tournament a handful of times and there are always 1 or 2 guys where I just can’t understand how they are not at a top 5 D1 program.

Interesting that the Uzbek Lee has wrestled at Menlo College and was an NAIA champ.

Ain’t nobody butthurt. Calm down.

To believe that and talk about it in appropriate settings is one thing. Too win a sporting event and decide it’s time to attack another religion is another. It was just odd and a choice that tells me Brooks is kind of one of those c*nty religious types.

Add a sidestroke and Phelps gets another medal…. Swimming is still swimming. I swam back in the day, so I get the differences, but too much is put on the amount of medals won in different sports. Plus, swimming is static. You are racing against a clock. There are few variables that interrupt your race, whereas wrestling you are competing against another person, and for someone like Lopez, you are wrestling against someone who is training specifically to beat you every match. We have seen the greats, Karelin, Satiev, Burroughs in 16, Susaki this year, and countless others take losses that no one expected. To win it 5 times like he did is absolutely amazing to me.

Simone has completely changed the sport. I think she has a unique body type that has aided her longevity, but also, I expect the average age of gymnasts to continue to climb a bit. The old Soviet way of starving these girls and overtraining to get one good Olympics out of them is going to the wayside.

Swimming gives out too many medals. 50, 100, and 200 for free, breast, fly and back seems like overkill, especially when the winners at 100 are usually contenders at either 50 or 200. Then you have the relays which is not an individual effort. Lopez achievements are far more impressive in my opinion.

Nah, just adds to the history of Brooks being an oddly over the top religious fanatic.

But according to you, people are soft if they do criticize. That’s what I don’t understand. If you are discrediting another religion to prop up your own, then they say that’s some BS, they are soft? Sounds like you’re the one who can’t handle it.
