It is nice that our college folks have a way of continuing to compete. It is hyper competitive in the US. mspart

Yes, I just saw this. mspart

Is this wrong because it was published by the NY Post? https://fitnessvolt.com/male-powerlifter-avi-silverberg-new-womens-bench-press-record/ mspart

By sorted out, the State of FL will get its way. The State of FL did not enter into an agreement with Disney. Disney got an agreement with the board that oversees control of the district. Because the FL legislature did not dissolve the board, the new board has this agreement that was made with board members on their way out. I think this was a nice try by Disney, but I don't think it will work. FL can dissolve the board and any agreements that were made within it. The agreements obviously run counter to what the Legislature intended. So I expect they will amend whatever they need to to get the control they wanted. mspart

From what I have read on sites across the spectrum, this is true. mspart

From what I just read, this isn't over. Disney appears to have out foxed the legislature and the governor. But that may change. So I wouldn't crow about it too much just yet. As I understand what I read on CNN, Disney knew this was happening and made an agreement with the board before it was dissolved that effectively nullifies the intent of the FL legislature. The legislature did not dissolve the board, but left it and released the board members. New board members are there but are stuck with the previous agreement with Disney. I'm guessing this will get sorted out. mspart

I think the Ds supplying dollars to Trump's handpicked candidates helped them win their primaries. But the Ds knew they were weak candidates anyway and would get easily smoked in the general. Great ploy. So in the end, Trump pretty much failed. There should be no fear. DeSantis is a tough R, but no Xerox copy of Trump. His mouth does not get him in trouble like Trump. His Twitter finger (or whatever social media they are on) is nothing compared to Trump's. His most maligned actions: 1. Getting a law passed that does not teach sex education to K-3. To me it should have been K-6. But I tell you the liberals acted like the sky was falling. This is just common sense. What K-3 kid is interested in sex? Zero. 2. Getting rid of a proposed AP course in Black Studies for HS kids. It was rejected for Black Queer studies and other crap. It was not rejected for the historical items you associate with Black Studies. Yet this was just beyond the pale by those in the media. But remember, he was re elected Governor by a huge majority. Even Ds like him there because he is effective and gets things done. mspart

So is Pendleton leaving OSU for OSU? mspart

I knew he coined that phrase!! mspart

I hope the US Open is a huge affair this year. With birth into final x the prize, all the also rans should be there. mspart

That's where I sit on these. Regarding Schultz, it's tough to keep the consensus #2 match of all time off of this list. mspart

Him taking the Final X route would make him go 92 which is not what he wants this year. Big decision for him to make here that's for sure. mspart

There's nothing to see here or you are next. mspart

Got it. D=good. R=bad. This is essentially what you are saying. You cannot credibly say Hillary did nothing wrong and that anyone else that did what she did would not be in prison or heavily fined. I am simply and naively thinking that justice should be blind and treat everyone the same. That clearly has not and is not happening. The Feds had numerous opportunities to punish Trump for this porn star thing, and didn't. The DA is taking a misdemeanor case and trying to make it a felony case. Unlike all the felony cases he reduces to misdemeanors. And he's a horrible prosecutor losing almost half of his cases. Like his heart really isn't in it. But you can bet his heart is in this one. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11475383/Manhattan-DA-Alvin-Bragg-downgraded-half-felony-cases-misdemeanors.html REVEALED: Woke Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has downgraded over HALF of felony cases to misdemeanors as criminals are free to roam streets of the Big Apple Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg downgraded 52 percent of felony cases to misdemeanors, compared to 39 percent in all of 2019, according to new data Bragg wins a conviction 51 percent of the time, down from 68 percent in 2019 Between 2013 and 2020, the percentage of cases downgraded by District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. never exceeded 40 percent Bragg who took office Jan. 1 campaigned on promise of criminal justice reform If this website is not to your liking try https://www.newsweek.com/alvin-braggs-soft-crime-policies-face-scrutiny-manhattan-da-goes-after-trump-1789040 "Bragg has been in office just a year, but Manhattan seems to be getting progressively worse in crime," said John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, which describes itself as a non-partisan research organization with academics affiliated from Harvard University, The Wharton School, University of Chicago, University of Michigan and Emory University. Lott is also author of the book "More Guns, Less Crime." According to his group's research, culled from the Manhattan D.A. Office's Data Dashboard, from 2021 to 2022, Manhattan's seven major felony offenses (murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, grand larceny and grand larceny auto) rose by 26 percent to the highest since 2006. Or how about this website: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/09/nyregion/trump-potential-criminal-charges-bragg.html Even if Mr. Trump is indicted, convicting him or sending him to prison will be challenging. The case against the former president hinges on an untested and therefore risky legal theory involving a complex interplay of laws, all amounting to a low-level felony. In New York, falsifying business records can amount to a crime, albeit a misdemeanor. To elevate the crime to a felony charge, Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors must show that Mr. Trump’s “intent to defraud” included an intent to commit or conceal a second crime. In this case, that second crime could be a violation of New York State election law. While hush money is not inherently illegal, the prosecutors could argue that the $130,000 payout effectively became an improper donation to Mr. Trump’s campaign, under the theory that because the money silenced Ms. Daniels, it benefited his candidacy. This isn't blind justice, this is blind rage. Even NYT doesn't give this much of a chance to succeed, but Bragg moves forward undeterred. If only he did that with the felons that make NYC a dangerous place to live. mspart

This is an asinine statement. If they both broke the law, prosecute both. If they didn't, don't. It really is as simple as that. Your statement just places in concrete that this is all a political thing, nothing to do with justice. I don't think you meant to do that but you did. mspart

That is a great match. That was quite the show. All because Schultz didn't think it was right that someone should have the chance for 4 NCAA titles. mspart

I hope he is ok, but getting weird advice. If he is ok, he needs to wake up soon. If he is not ok, I wish him a speedy recovery. Any word on his social media? mspart

I think the logic is clear. Leave Trump alone if you are going to leave others alone. If you don't leave Trump alone, then be intellectually honest and go after these others as well. Comey recounted how Hillary broke the law and hid what she did. But in his opinion, that was not enough to go after her. In the immortal words of the great one, C'mon maaaaan!! mspart

Crotalus, this is an interesting thing you bring up. 2022, Trump endorsed many candidates and democratic people voted for these people (this is documented and was in their playbook - https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/11/15/democrats-boosted-trump-gop-primaries-helping-midterms/10670042002/) because they would rather run against the Trump guy than someone else. Trump's endorsees won many of those Primaries and many of those lost the general election. So the Ds were smart and smelled weakness in these candidates and helped them win their primaries. I have no complaint with that in general. But given that fact, why would anyone fear Trump? I have no idea. If he were a king maker it would be a different story, but he proved he is not. We have an ex Rep here in Vancouver WA, who voted with Ds in impeaching Trump, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler. She lost her primary to a Trump endorsed candidate. This seat had been solid R for years. He lost to a D candidate, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. So essentially Trump cost WA an R House Rep. This was replicated across the US. This is why the House was not a trainwreck for the Ds. Why would anyone have fear of Trump now? I really don't know. mspart

Thanks for responding GWN, I appreciate that. Too bad Mike is not willing to back up his unsupported argument that the first got it wrong. He won't even defend what he says, that is pretty sad. I agree it is tough to go website by website to decide who is credible. But when many are reporting the same thing, then isn't the conclusion that they must all be credible in this particular story. The websites I listed were from left to right. They are all saying the same thing. To me that is the epitome of credible journalism. That said, there are numerous websites reporting on this. I think it is ridiculous to say that one is not getting it right when there are so many saying the same things, and many of them would be considered legitimate purveyors of news by Mike. The professor was an idiot for saying it is better to kill than to verbally engage. And there are people here fighting over the fact they don't like the website reporting it. No discussion of what the idiot said and why the University President took action. Nope, all we get is that the website is not credible. I think the reason he won't support his own argument is that he has been proven wrong and will not take ownership of that. Is this really what constitutes discussion these days. Throw a bomb and make fun of people if they don't believe it or want evidentiary support? That's just an ignorant way to try to make a point; it's like how a teenager would do it. mspart

That's a tough picture to look at. Thanks KCMO2! mspart

This is all true of course but after college. I think the topic here is college hammers, not after college hammers. Burroughs would certainly be high on the latter list. mspart

Where does Cox fit into the 97kg question? Is he injured hard so he can't compete? I would figure it would be Cox's to lose if he is healthy. mspart

It did wonders for my ultimate frisbee intramural career!! mspart

When will that be Mike? And you are very welcome. I'm always concerned about my intermat forum buddies. mspart
