it's a NY thing.

Ahh, so you are hearing from the moderators about your lunacy and that is the reason you want to stop. But not before issuing one more fantasy. There used to be a guy on here call Dan. I used to call him Double Down Dan because no matter how many times he was shown that he was wrong (including on simple things like math), he would never fail to double down. His favorite technique was "if that is true" when he was shown he was wrong. You remind me a lot of that guy. And not in a good way.

Total so far is 13 votes for someone other then Jordan (5 for McCarthy, 4, for Scalise, 3 for Zeldin, 1 for Garcia), 1 absent, 4 did not vote.

1 vote down. 8 Republicans do not vote for Jordan. Edit: Now up to 9

I have gone to habanero hot sauce on my tacos. Very small amounts, though that has increased over time. I cannot eat American tacos any other way now. For Mexican tacos it is still their roja sauce, but I am not sure what pepper is in that.

Adam Kinzinger was my guy.

27 times hotter than a habanero? I like spicy, but this is madness.

To paraphrase Terry (Tom?) Brands, Jim Jordan loves politicians, but he doesn't love legislating. I just read that in 16 years Jim Jordan has not gotten a single piece of legislation signed into law. The Center for Effective Lawmaking ranked him 431st out of 435 Congressmen in the last Congress. His bi-partisanship scores are in the same range. Only 3 members are below him. And this is the best speaker candidate my fellow Republicans could come up with?

When I started doing triathlon relays (that's right, no running, no cycling, just the pure unadulterated good stuff), my pre-teen daughter banned me from ever wearing a speedo again. At least in competition.

Add to that (or subtract really) that D3 athletes do not get athletic scholarships, just needs based aid like all other students.

Related question: Will the Freedom Caucus adopt an "eat their own" stance and continue to demand a single rep can call for a motion to vacate?

NCAA President Charlie Baker wrote an op ed for The Athletic yesterday on the need for comprehensive federal legislation covering NIL. His big ask was for Congress to state that athletes are not employees: "we need Congress to affirm that student-athletes are not employees. Without that action, courts may implement one-size-fits-all mandates that require all student-athletes across all sports and all divisions receive identical benefits. Providing the same benefits to a Division I football player whose program generates enormous revenues and a Division III swimmer whose program generates none would be untenable. Maintaining a full roster of programs would be challenging, and women’s sports and Olympic sports would be harmed most." The obvious answer is we all need to start buying tickets to D3 swimming events, demanding ESPN pay big money to televise those events, and buy our favorite swimmer's speedos to wear while watching those events. Seems like a thinly veiled threat aimed at all Olympic sports, like wrestling.

Saying you are ignorant is not an insult. It is an accurate description. While you may find it insulting, it is also curable. Work on the cure rather than focusing on your hurt feelings. Kind of like wrestling.

Your memory is convenient that way. It is there. For such an avowed expert on this case, you are so often ignorant when challenged. And when not challenged you are so often ignorant, which leads to the challenges. And the cycle goes on.

It takes 217 votes to be elected Speaker. There are 221 Republicans in the House, 212 Democrats, and 2 vacancies. Jordan received 124 to be nominated (81 against). After his nomination, when asked if they would support his nomination he received 152 votes (55 against). Will Jordan be able to convert 65 Republicans? Or can he get some Democrats to convert? Voting is set to commence at noon ET tomorrow.

One other thing. While @nhs67's comprehensive lists contain anyone reasonably likely to qualify for the OTT, the actual number of qualifiers is much smaller. For example, in 2021 the brackets were: 57 - 9 65 - 11 74 - 8 86 - 11 97 - 8 125 - 9

Senior Nationals is top 5 rather than top 7 Also add U23 gold medalists, Pan Am Games gold medalist (though this is probably moot as I think all reps are already qualified under other categories), Pan An Qualifier top 2 (also moot, I think, for same reason).

I do not know much, if anything, about either of them. But, given that Chlebove started as a 141 before dropping to 133, I do not see him going 57. With Zapf having wrestled all 10 weights in college (ok, really just 133, 141, 157, 149, in that order), I see him dropping to 65. So both 65 for me.

U23 World Team Members: Julian Chlebove at 61kg (missing) Doug Zapf at 70kg (missing) Dustin Plott at 79kg (you have him listed at 86kg rather than a 79kg tweener) Win gold and they are in.

Can you clarify this one? I was not aware of any limits on the number of medical school students, nor could I find any reference to limits.

Man that is a shit-ton of work. Nice job.

Moron, he was found guilty. Stop with the if and the alleged. Something like this could not happen to anyone. It can only happen to someone who commits the acts he was found guilty of committing.

A perfect example of the lies people like you tell themselves to help make it through the night. Those who tell me I am wrong must be in the minority. Those who are silent must agree with. Crackpot logic.

Hang on a sec. I am WAAAAAY lazier than you. I still haven't put in the effort to know wrestling.

Your attempts to minimize institutionalized racism are absolutely racist. Your refusal to accept this neither disappoints me nor surprises me. You are the worst attempted ambassador for wrestling possible. You do more harm than good by mixing your abhorrent views on rape and racism with support for wrestling. If you really want to support wrestling you should go away and stop attempting to advocate for wrestling. It is a concept know as addition through subtraction.
