  1. Like a knife to the heart.
  2. That is an interesting theory. Let's explore that for a minute. On the plus side, I am unbelievably thin skinned and more than willing to through any crap against the wall while ignoring the stuff that doesn't stick. On the minus side, how dare you?
  3. Have they? NPR has always been a left of center broadcast outlet.
  4. Oh, Elon. Now he is grouping NPR with RT as "state-affiliated media". It used to be in "state-financed media organizations with editorial independence" along with the BBC.
  5. It pains me to post this, but this is what we are dealing with. This is just my estimate from pulling multiple sources together. It is not authoritative.
  6. Iowa Wesleyan. Though it was the entire school that bit the dust rather than just the wrestling program.
  7. A prior employer provided free lunch every day. My favorite complaint was, the food is awful and there is not enough of it.
  8. My father in law always raved about the barrell so I gave it a try once. Once.
  9. It is funny how unreliable some of these old write ups are. DiBatista's NWHOF bio references his win over a 29 year old opponent in the 1941 final (https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/98) That "29 year old" opponent was Al Crawford, whose NWHOF bio calls him 24, but based on birth year was either 25 or 26. (https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/15395) Crawford's bio also indirectly accuses DiBatista of stalling in the 1941 final to the extent that it caused a rule change.
  10. Bill Koll was undefeated in the 40's and Dan Hodge was undefeated in the 50's. There were also a few guys prior to the war, like Earl McCready, but they wrestled very few matches back then. In 3 years McCready only wrestled 25 matches.
  11. Prior year I think they were the biggest outperformers.
  12. So you are ignoring Matt Ramos? Too soon?
  13. That lineup would have taken 12th this year with 43.5 points. But, if Ferrari's lawyer performs legal wizardry AND he wins after two years off (not sure which is less likely) you get to the 63.5 - 65 range which would have put them fifth or sixth and a full AA out of third.
  14. Another tragic example of Sanderson recruiting over.
  15. Cabrini-Green? You are in the way back machine.
  16. I already cleared this up. Everything to my left is west.
  17. Did you try Dime Store in Detroit for breakfast last year? If so, how did it compare to The Cherry St Kitchen? I ask because I was very impressed with Dime Store. https://www.eatdimestore.com/
  18. As I have gotten older I have realized this. I try to remind myself, we are all dealing with something. I do not always succeed. So I remind myself again.
  19. Probably just running from Amine.
  20. Thank you for sharing this. I have made my donation.
  21. Yes, please, and thank you.
  22. I love the fact that Hendrickson scored more (21.5) than two champs (O'Connor and Bonaccorsi, 21) and all of the runners up. It would be a shame to change a rule on what I assume is a rare occurrence. (It happened in 2021 also with Mason Parris outscoring 7 champs and Jaydin Eierman outscoring 3, but both were runners up and did all their damage on the front side). Which raises the question, what is the actual proposed change? Do you know? I do not.
  23. I can't just leave well enough alone. Apparently, this is a common law thing dating back to the 1600's. Royalty was chosen because they tended to have longer life expectancy than peasants due to things like access to better healthcare. Additionally, commoners were less likely to have a complete and unquestioned family tree causing problems determining when the final person died. That this would be used as a dry corporate law/political joke tickles me to no end.
