Matt Ramos also had him on his list of best scramblers.

Lee's scrambling technique was to not get in scrambles.  His insane grip strength made traditional scrambling and funk a losing proposition for most so they either backed out of the scramble or bailed.   Watch every match of his and count how many opponents tried ankle passes and the like.

Two points

1) Scrambling - If you want to argue that Spencer wasn't innovative or didn't funk in this department then maybe you can make an argument. But, he was a fantastic scrambler.  Great hip awareness and was phenomenal at keeping his head up.

2) Takedowns - Spencer, when not gassed, is a phenomenal takedown artist.  He didn't need a go to takedown.  He had an array of attacks to take his opponent down.  He was also phenomenal at re-attacks.

Spencer was as complete as a wrestler as one can think of

it's a really weird post and someone should tell him to stop. Regarding Gabe though, in a preseason presser last year Tom Brands made an offhand comment about Gabe and his off season activities. I think Bob was referring to Gabe not living "The Wrestler Life" as opposed to disparaging his mental health struggles. It was still a bad post though.

With the way things are going, I do wonder if we will have General Manager type roles in college athletics soon

I have a hard time believing his comments on a forum is the reason Bo defected.  Just not buying that narrative.  But I find it concerning that a donor believes he has that much power over a program.  That's reserved for the coaches and the athletic department.

Hammer, this kid has done a lot to inspire and engage with youth wrestlers.  Chill out brotha

I haven’t seen it, but Basch and Willie discussed slumlord Bob making a post on HR or whatever it’s called these days saying something to the effect of “Jordan Williams and Gabe Arnold need to figure it out.”

No idea if that’s the reason.  Is it possible he pulled the offer?

His post makes it sound like he thinks he runs/owns the team.

I give Jordan's shot to be on the team at one chance in two. The reason I am posting this is because if he is on the team, he needs everyone to encourage him to "Live the Wrestler Life", not the party boy life. You can bet I will. There are consequences to this detrimental behavior. Same with Gabe in other ways. I'll be all over them.

Call me crazy but I don’t think Ben would hate it we are arguing over his perilous condition 

Fair point.  If anything Ben would love the idea of one of us starting BenCoin in his honor if he does pass

Controversial and going against the grain but my pick is Tommy Wiseau.  Many believe he's the GOAT

Tom Cruise was great... before he just basically took the same role in every movie the last 30 years(A Few Good Men was great for example...though even there, that was just the non-action lawyer role which he then meshed with the firm and then went to over the top action movies...which is fine, but I can't get past the scientology stuff). 

Tom Cruise in Magnolia was amazing.  Should've won an oscar.

Hesitant to say it, because I think its a crappy crappy movie which was rescued by him, but Ledger's joker to me takes it. I know he was in makeup and prosthetics, but I still feel like the transformation was remarkable. I don't even like the "he died for the role" line, I just think he commanded the screen better than anyone ever has. 

Best Joker ever

It's such a subjective art form.  In general I disagree because he tends to do his absolute best stuff as a supporting role, not as a lead, but obviously to each their own.  I love him in True Romance and the Fifth Element in particular.

I find DDL to a bit pretentious in his performance, but obviously he's highly respected.  

To me, I think DeNiro has the highest highs as a performer and leading man, and can do support roles, also; however, he has consistency issues.  That period from the late 80s thru the late 90s had some huge, huge highs, though.

I enjoy Hanks, but most of his best roles are all riffs on the same general persona.

I'm a big Nicholson fan, so his name deserves a (second) mention.

I think Matt Damon is incredibly underrated and is extremely versatile

 

Subjective is right. Fair point on supporting role but I think it's tricky.  In the De Niro circle they'd tell John Cazale heads and shoulders above was the best.

I like Matt Damon but he's always Matt Damon playing a version of Matt Damon. My favorite role he's done is Stuck on You.  I think his costar in Rounders, Edward Norton, is a level above.  He can really sell a character.  He literally scared me in the flashback scenes in American History X

Also, DDL as Daniel Plainview is probably the second best acting performance ever IMHO.

What's your #1???

Just now, Hammerlock3 said:

prolific as I am seeing now mean "producing in large quantities". So Eric Robert is more prolific than DDL and Gary Oldman combined. Do you mean DDL is more prominent? Yes.

Gotcha, My bad

4 minutes ago, Hammerlock3 said:

as alluded to by Vak, DDL is amazing, but if we are talking GOAT, i'm taking away points for his reputation as a method actor, which I think has taken on a life of its own in a similar way to how Tom Cruise doing stunts inflates his reputation, and DDL is also is not nearly as prolific.

Are you serious?  Bill the Butcher is one of the most iconic characters in cinema history.  Way more iconic than any character Oldman has played.  DDL also has Lincoln and many consider his role at Daniel Plainview the best acting job in cinema history

Solid pick. Hard to argue.  My pick goes to Daniel Day Lewis.

The B-2 being stealth bombers i'd bet they will go in alone just as in OIF.  You don't want more objects to paint on radar.  I'd expect the Isreali Air Force will clear things out with F-35 ahead of the B-2s and be close by if needed.

I  never heard of that idiot until now. He's a true moron. If what he said is true, they'd hate every non-muslim country roughly equally. That isn't even remotely close to reality. Israel is enemy A1 and we're enemy A2, even though most of the countries around the world are non-Muslim. 

Can you add 2+2? How about trying to actually talk to somebody from that part of the world instead of listening to this random ethnocentric idiot? 

First you accuse me of being a winger and now you're accusing Christopher Hitchens of being ethnocentric.  A true comedian you are
