When I was in HS, the coolest name in collegiate wrestling was Andre Metzger. I have always loved that name. He recently tried to get back into wrestling by going with GR. It did not work out too well for him. I suspect the same will happen to Rulon. But if he has the gas and the blocking moves he exhibited so well in his heyday, I suspect he could place. But he is 51 years old and that usually does not mean great victory on the OPEN stage. That's why they have Veterans competition. mspart

Again, agree to disagree. I feel if we are to be upset for person A for doing X, then we should be upset with person B for doing X also. Best to you GWN. You have never stooped to name calling and have endeavored to have intelligent discussions and succeeded. I appreciate that you are willing to discuss things here. It is refreshing. mspart

Yes, two really old guys going at it. Neither of which have majority support. mspart

Wow, I heard him and he would have a tough time winning a school district board position. He may have good ideas, but he is not an effective communicator. mspart

Yes, I heard about this the other day. Why the heck do you want to have good credit for? Will this incentivize bad loans like what ended up being a market crash in 2008? Do we not learn from our mistakes? Apparently not. mspart

I hope he does well and places high enough to make WTTs. And next year he is an automatic in to OTTs unless they have changed those rules also. Any olympic champion has auto in at OTT. mspart

A lawyer representing the whistleblower sent a bombshell letter to Congress Wednesday, alleging that a “high-profile, controversial” case managed by the DOJ — confirmed by multiple reports to be the investigation into Hunter Biden stemming from an alleged failure to pay taxes — faced “clear conflicts of interest.” The whistleblower further claimed to have information that contradicted the sworn testimony of a “senior” Biden administration official, who has been identified as Merrick Garland, first by the New York Post, and later by the Washington Examiner and Daily Mail, all citing anonymous sources. These articles are coming out by the minute. Thanks for hanging in there. Perhaps we may see something come from all of this. But maybe not. mspart

Only half of Democrats, or 47%, think Biden should run again in 2024, according to The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll. Overall, just 26% of Americans want him to run. This is a huge endorsement of Biden. mspart

The possible charges include two misdemeanor counts for failure to file taxes, a single felony count of tax evasion related to a business expense for one year of taxes, and the gun charge, also a potential felony. The federal investigation of Hunter Biden began in 2018. It has narrowed from an inquiry into his international business relationships, including any possible national security implications, to an examination of the income he earned from those ventures, and a false statement he’s alleged to have made during the gun purchase, said the sources. In 2018, during a period when he has admitted using cocaine, Hunter Biden purchased a firearm, which required him to fill out a form that included a question about whether he was addicted to or abusing any unlawful substance. mspart

According to a letter presented by the whistleblower's lawyer, Mark Lytle, Garland's testimony to Congress was not entirely true. Lytle submitted information indicating that politics were "improperly infecting choices" in the high-profile tax probe. The whistleblower's disclosures contradict the sworn testimony to Congress by a senior judicial official, who has now been confirmed to be Merrick Garland, per New York Times.

The Biden camp reportedly asked former acting CIA Director Mike Morell to "help Biden" get 50 colleagues to sign a letter in October 2020 stating that the allegations about Hunter Biden's laptop having damning information was merely a ploy by the Russians to undermine the United States. Morell told the House Judiciary Committee during a private sworn testimony that Antony Blinken, now the secretary of state, was the Biden camp official who asked him "on or before" Oct. 17, 2020, to organize signatures to say the allegations against Hunter Biden were Russian misinformation. That came three days after the New York Post published an email from the laptop that suggested Hunter Biden introduced a Ukrainian business partner to his father, who at the time was the vice president of the United States. Very interesting that this is coming out. Velly Velly Intellesting!! mspart

True it does do that. And I don't like the implications of that very much, but not really a fan of 3 point either. Someone will eventually say an escape should be 2. Then where are we? mspart

OTTs in Vegas. Or better yet, Seattle!! As you probably know, Seattle is just starving for wrestling action. mspart

Still no RBY? Glad to hear they have more registered. That is good. mspart

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/21/politics/hunter-biden-laptop-story-antony-blinken/index.html Washington CNN — The Republican chairs of the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday asking for information related to the crafting of a public letter signed weeks before the 2020 presidential election by dozens of former intelligence officials, who said they saw signs the Hunter Biden laptop story could be Russian disinformation. In October 2020, 51 former intelligence officials signed on to a public letter that stated that the appearance of the Hunter Biden laptop story on the political scene had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” Though the former officials acknowledged in their public letter that they did “not have evidence of Russian involvement,” Republicans have argued that the letter helped discredit the laptop story just before the election. ... The committee chairs write: “Morell testified that on or around October 17, 2020, you [Blinken] reached out to him to discuss the Hunter Biden laptop story. At the time you served as a senior advisor to the Biden campaign. According to Morell, although your outreach was couched as simply gathering Morell’s reaction to the [New York] Post story, it set in motion the events that led to the issuance of the public statement.” Morell testified before the committees that he had a phone call with Blinken about the Hunter Biden laptop story in the New York Post, and they discussed possible Russian involvement in the spreading of information related to Hunter Biden, according to a source familiar with the matter. mspart

Good plan! I guess. mspart

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing. RBY seems to be "cloud hidden, whereabouts unknown". This is really interesting to me. Maybe he's tired of wrestling, burnt out. It can happen to anyone. mspart

Just in time to hit a monster! mspart

4 point shot would be from half court or something? As far as going to 3 point takedowns, I'm not sure I like that. The riding time change is good in my opinion. 3 point near fall is also a good change. I don't like the 4 point near fall. But I'm a codger and like the old ways. I'm still not sure how I feel about 2 point takedown for freestyle. I also don't like unlimited ankle lace scoring. But there you go. mspart

I think Saban would be happy with that. I don't think the transfer portal is such a bad thing. But NIL is not going to end well. This example is from pro sports so not really the same but the situation could be similar. In the 2000s, Mariners franchise player Ken Griffey Jr was being paid a lot while other players on the team suffered with lower salaries. They said fine, if Griffey gets that much money, he can win the ball games for us. Well as you can imagine, that didn't last too long. Griffey was traded but even as great a guy as he was, there was a lot of resentment which ruined the team. You might say the same for Russel Wilson. Got traded from Seattle to Denver and was paid a mint. His numbers just weren't there either because he didn't want to or the team felt like he was supposed to save them so they let him and he failed. One person can't do it alone and the resentment from others not so fortunate can create things that were not anticipated. I'm not saying the above is true and factual, but something to think about with regard to NIL money because only some get that, not everyone. mspart

AJ Ferrari at Penn St? From what I have heard, he wouldn't last long there. There are a number of folks there that could rough him up pretty good if he got out of line, which he will if he stays true to himself. Listing from my head: Cael, Varner, Nickal, Snyder, Taylor at the very least. mspart

Oklahoma State University Fix Daton Sr Master's in Leisure Studies Daton really stretching his mind here. I haven't heard of this particular field of study. Ferrari is not on the list for OSU.
