  1. Yes. I had Elam winning 197 last year but Buchanan was too good.
  2. Warner looks better than I've seen him in that loss. Expected Missouri to win bigger.
  3. Lewan won with strength and positioning. I missed that pick.
  4. I had McGee winning by two takedowns. Byrd looks good.
  5. How hard is it really to bridge the other way out of bounds?
  6. Disclaimer: Not a Trump fan. Is this a figurative "call to violence?"
  7. Let's say you are on a sports team with 14 people, and 3 of the 14 experience a vehicle theft-type crime within a few months of each other, at different locations, for the first and only time in their life. Coincidence?
  8. The year isn't even over... KC
  9. It is hard to argue with the lifetime of one's personal experience. Two months later, my FIL went to the Ozarks and found his boat had been drained of 200 gallons of gas. None of us five victims had experienced this before in our 40+ years of life. Suddenly we all do within a couple of months of each other. How weird. Not all of us reported it to the police because we've observed that nothing would happen anyway.
  10. It cracks me up when people talk about violent crime being down while excluding the worse type of violence, murder.
  11. In KC. I sent my young boy alone to grab the cooler from my truck during a rec baseball game this past July. Some criminal was under the truck stealing my gas. It cost me $800 to tow, repair, etc. I am thankful the dude was leaving just before my son got there, as there was no chance for violence toward my son. Within two weeks, two local friends had their Catalytic Converters stolen. In the same month, my buddy's car was broken into in California. Crime is up, in my experience!
  12. Wrestling commentary
  13. Nestor Cortes if he was a wrestling coach
  14. Nestor Cortes if he was a wrestler
  15. Twitter was partly to blame for this tribalism. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/20/politics/democrat-republican-hate-tribalism/index.html
  16. Of course but not to that extent. Interesting - unroll this tweet https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1347524609701195777.html
  17. It Isn’t Your Imagination: Twitter Treats Conservatives More Harshly Than Liberals (link Feb 2019 article) A June, 2018 Pew poll found that 72% of Americans believe that social media companies censor views they don’t like, with members of the public being four times more likely to report a belief that such institutions favor liberals over conservatives than the opposite. Of 22 prominent, politically active individuals who are known to have been suspended since 2005 and who expressed a preference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, 21 supported Donald Trump. Only one was a Clinton supporter Are prominent Trump supporters more likely to break neutrally applied social media terms of service agreements than other voters? Perhaps. But are they four or more times as likely? That doesn’t seem credible.
  18. There should be a badge that represents peddlers of misinformation. After being caught in five Pinocchios, you get permabadged. Better, every politician can start with the 'liars' badge and a few might earn a truthful badge over time.
  19. Dean Heil and RBY come to mind...
  20. The purpose of the balk rule is to prevent the pitcher from deceiving the runner. The pitcher can do about anything when no runner is on base to deceive.
  21. Who is the Nestor Cortes of ... Wrestlers Wrestling Coaches Wrestling Commentary Intermat Forum Members Note: Nestor delays his windup, fast pitches, changes his arm slot, and performs other funk to disrupt the batter's timing. It is entertaining and effective.
  22. I love it so long as its a '2-for-1' order to reduce bias. Get rid of CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.
  23. Can California afford a single toilet? Cra-zy!
  24. The fact that you and I both saw that in our twitter feeds is evidence that Twitter is better.
