  1. Honda minivan. Within the last 5 years. Police cars are equipped with license plate readers so that as they pass parked cars they get a hit for anything reported stolen. Technology that invades our privacy can also retrieve our atolen cars.
  2. My sarcastic answer to your sarcastic queation is, the fact that they have a police force for starters. Also I have a friend who got his car stolen in Chicago. The police recovered it and returned it to him three days later. This crime is allowed narrative you and a few others have fallen in love with is so unbelievably stupid.
  3. Are you ask how a 6'4" 315 lb high school OL can end up at a high school that can recruit?
  4. Not at all what I am saying. Fault is not binary. Fault can be assigned for multiple elements of a crime. Stop pretending that suing a car company stops the city from going after car thieves. You know that is not true and you know no such claim is made in that article or any place else. Your logic is just so flawed. And your willingness to jump to ludicrous conclusions based on your flawed logic is regrettable.
  5. I don't even know if Chicago can sue. A judge may decide they do not have standing since they do not own the cars that got stolen. Chicago will argue that the incremental cost of law enforcement (the thing you all want), or some such, gives them standing. We will see what a judge decides.
  6. If they lie about having designs to prevent catalytic converts, then sure. It isn't a crime to make a crappy car, but it may be a crime to say you made a car with features it did not have. You guys act like only car companies are being pursued because you read one article that was only about car companies being pursued. And you want to pretend that it is about car design, when it is about lying about car design.
  7. Go back and look for synonyms.
  8. I am not saying the facts of the case are the same. I am saying their motivation for bringing the cases are the same. Pure political opportunism. Populist attempts to play to their base.
  9. If in response to a lawsuit against car companies he asks why he is trying to take money from victims, then yes, he did absolutely say that the car companies are the victims.
  10. I did not accuse you of caring about that. I absolutely accused offthemat of caring about that.
  11. how are the car companies the true victims?
  12. yes, it is different to you. one is a democrat and two are republicans. so dumb.
  13. Again. Come on. Don't act like you do not know that is a strategic choice. Why would he offer Kia and Hyundai a defense in the charges? This is a politician being a politician. No different than DeSantis going after Disney or Abbott going after Blackrock.
  14. Come on. Nowhere does it claim thieves are not liable for their crimes. This seems like outrage in search of something to be outraged about.
  15. Those guys are the worst.
  16. Freshman AAs in 2023: Eddie Ventresca 7th @ 125 Aaron Nagao 5th @ 133 Lachlan McNeil 4th @ 141 Brock Hardy 6th @ 141 Shayne Van Ness 3rd @ 149 Caleb Henson 5th @ 149 Levi Haines 2nd @ 157 Michael Caliendo 7th @ 165 Who breaks into the top 230 all-time scorers?
  17. This feels like a modern art project
  18. And for the completests in the crowd, the years 1970, 1988, 1997, and 2008 were the only freshman-eligible years that did not contribute any wrestlers to the top 230 career scorers at the NCAA tournament.
  19. Another way to think about freshman dominance is to focus on the entire career and then work backwards. You can argue that the top year for freshman is actually the year when the most career top scorers began. There were four years that contributed 6 wrestlers to the eventual top 230.
  20. Who says freshman need time to acclimate to college? Try telling that to the crop that landed in 2015. Homework Assignment The title of the table might not be strictly true. I came up with this list from the list of the top 230 scoring wrestlers. So all the ones and twos are missing from my totals. I doubt that has any impact on 2015's status as the year of the freshman, but it certainly could impact the order of every year after that given how tightly bunched they all become. Sooooo, if there is anyone out there who wants to complete the calcs, here is your chance.
  21. Tied for 31st at 71 points with Eddie Eichelberger, Lee Kemp, T.J. Jaworksy, Jordan Oliver, and Kyle Snyder. Behind Bill Koll, Gene Mills, Ross Flood,Mark Lieberman, Kenny Monday, Carlton Haselrig, Jason Nolf, Larry Owings, John Smith, and Terry Brands
  22. If we harken back to days of yore when freshman were not eligible to wrestle there were a number of dominant wrestlers who left us with a bunch of what ifs. Among the three timers in the three time era (100%ers) who would have won as a freshman? Maybe that Sanderson guy wasn't so special. Maybe Pat Smith shouldn't have been the first. After all, there were 15 of these guys and 6 of them were undefeated. Surely one of them would have won as a freshman and done it in style. Like the answer to the question "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?", the world will never know. But we can know what the intersection of their careers and modern careers looks like. Instead of adding fictional titles and points to past champions, lets do the more recent guys dirty and subtract titles and points. If we subtract the first year of competition and just focus on years they all have in common, years two through four (sorry Myles and Jaydin), who scored the most NCAA points? Without further ado, I present your new king of the hill: Zain Retherford. A few other observations: In the spirit of subtraction, I decided to also subtract the 5 points Dan Gable earned in his two pigtail matches from when brackets could be just about any size. If we look at it on a per match basis Dan Hodge would take his rightful seat on the throne as he scored his 80 points in just 13 matches, while the others at or near the top did it in 15 matches. Bonus points are huge (too huge? let the debate begin). The third and fourth positions are occupied by guys who only went 2 for 3 in their last three years. But, boy did they do it in style, with Dan Gable putting up a perfect 30 points in 1969 and David Taylor scoring 29.5 in 2012.
