  1. By growing I assume they mean shrinking.
  2. I just heard from Musk's lawyers that they are working on a lawsuit against all of the people who stopped buying Bud Light.
  3. Ah, the free speech absolutist and his smaller government/less regulation lap dog, Jim Jordan, strike again.
  4. It does not hurt their cause that a US network is paying billions to sell stories. Edit: That. And swimming is the highest form of sport.
  5. Almost forgot about this one. Well, if you look at this graph one way it looks like 4:00 is kind of an asymptote. But then, 4:10 was looking like an asymptote from 1989 to 2003, and then it wasn't. Same kinda goes for 4:20 at one point. So I will say yes, there will be improvements in technique (the freestyle stroke has evolved since I swam) and technology (sport science has made leaps and bounds since I swam) such that he (or someone) does break 4:00. There could even be rule changes (see backstroke flip turns) that cause a further drop.
  6. Every one of our wrestlers has to wrestle an Olympic qualifier in EVERY round. It's a bunch of bull. There should be an investigation.
  7. You miss the point (which I believe is intentional with you) while also making the point. If Iowa is the only game in town they do not have to offer her money. It is the others that do.
  8. I am not sure if Iowa would the ones. They are already the prohibitive favorite to win the title every year. Perhaps an underdog with a rich, interested alum would step up. But I know so little about women's college wrestling that I have no idea who that would or could be.
  9. With pay to play now a thing it makes sense to consider college if the right offer comes along. In softball the most dominant pitcher just got paid $1 million to transfer. And with NIL she can also still do endorsements.
  10. Then why did you make that part of your argument?
  11. Indeed. There are 5 (and about to be 6) moves named after Biles. She is doing things ever done before.
  12. Marchand .... won 4 individual golds in Paris, Phelps won 5 individual golds in Beijing.
  13. Well there are a couple cabinets, so I will go with two answers. Calumet Farms 15 year Single Rack Black is my favorite in cabinet one, but if you ask my wife's cousin he would prefer the Knob Creek 12 year. In cabinet two I will go with Blanton's single barrel over Weller Special Reserve. But $ for $ it is the Weller, all day.
  14. I like to take a bottled sauce and spike it with cayenne and manuka honey.
  15. Not even theoretucally could you swim 18 of 35 events.
  16. No because swimming >> wrestling. I am not sure Lopez was the best at all 5 Olympics even though he was the best at his style at his weight. Phelps was definitely the best at 3 of his 5 Olympics and an argument can be made for 4 of 5 as he was most accomplished 4 times. His first Oly at 15 he got nothing.
  17. Sure it does. You mentioned it is harder to make the Olympics with six weights. A big part of that is how crowded the domestic competition is to be the guy at that reduced number of weights. Amine did not have to run the US gauntlet for the World team before getting a chance to get an Olympic quota. In San Marino Amine gets a bye. And he chose that route because he could not beat the domestic competition.
  18. I think it is about control of middle rather than who is aggressor.
  19. The market is up today. Does that mean Bidenomics is working now? Should we count the up days and subtract the down days?
