Everyone agrees it is a farce. We just disagree on who is to blame for the farce.

It is even narrower than that. It is the NFL's world, we just live in it. Top 100 Broadcasts of 2020 - 2023 I read recently that NFL games had an absurd 93 of the 100 most watched broadcasts of 2023. With the Super Bowl pre-game show the total for the NFL goes to 94. Crazy. No wonder NBC was willing to pay a rumored $110 million for the broadcast rights to a single playoff game. And you will notice that no other sport made the top 100. Three college games, the Thanksgiving parade, the State of the Union Address, and the Academy Awards rounded out the top 100.

Yes, please, and thank you.

How did I miss that? Another detail to love.

I love every detail of that story. Very uplifting.

Using the match by match data from 1988 to 2021 and then adjusting for expected increases in bonus points given the three point takedown, I finally got around to working up bonus point estimates by seed. So now I can estimate total team scores rather than just advancement and placement. Of course there will be variation, but let's not let that stop us from making a fool of ourselves. I know some people thought PSU had a shot at the total points record this year, but boy is that looking unlikely at this point. And even with Van Ness it was looking improbable. Using the latest round of rankings from Intermat and the new estimates we get the following scores out to 20 places: While the team race is not exactly close, it is also not quite the blowout it was expected before the season started when PSU was favored to more than double second place. To reach 170.5 (the record adjusted for current scoring methods) PSU will need Braeden Davis (currently not ranked at 125) to make a big splash AND to significantly outperform their seeds (they often do) AND score a lot more bonus points than normal (not really this version of PSU's especiality). Call me skeptical. A 49 point gap is just too big. It feels like there are 9 or 10 (I see you anOSU) teams with a realistic shot at the podium. That should make it one of the more exciting tournaments in a long time.

@nhs67 and @ILLINIWrestlingBlog yeoman's work these past two days. Thank you.

If the tie breaker was style points Schults woulda won. Writing your name in magic marker on your singlet is tough.

GEO using all the freestyle tricks

There has been an infinite increase in top stall call -> punch -> bird -> DQ -> splits -> double bird calls.

I say yea. If you want nice things you have to say it out loud..

I did that a few years ago waterskiing. Brutal.

Savvy veteran wrestling there by Snyder.

He heard the expression "always in error, never in doubt" and thought "has anyone ever tried always in error?"

Stubbornly. Blindingly. Persistently.

Hint: You just quoted the post from the person who did say it, dumb dumb.

You are the king of dumb. Your homework is to find where I said that. I accept your apology in advance.

I did not make the social contract argument. No one can match your gas tank when it comes to being wrong.

I think it is TBD. He has used 4 dates, so he still could redshirt.

I do not do the Socratic method. If you have an argument to make, make it.

You seem like the kind of guy whose mother did his homework for him. Since I don't care if you ever move out of your parents' basement, I will not be doing your homework for you.

Indeed. Was the reason you were worried people didn't know how ill informed you are?

Yeah, I like poking at him when he says dumb stuff, which is always, so I limit it to really dumb stuff to save time. It is funny to see his responses get even dumber. Gish gallop. That is a new one, and I love it.

Now we just need AJ Sr. to say he could beat Sanderson. https://www.basketballnetwork.net/latest-news/lavar-ball-reiterates-that-hed-beat-michael-jordan-in-a-one-on-one
