I can see it from all sides here. Us purists want him to compete because he is that good. But I think it is also reasonable to see that he might want to do something different. And that was all fine until he won WTTs this year. Then we all got excited thinking he was back. But, something happened that did not allow that to happen. Miscommunication? A change of mind? But I think that is where all this is coming from. He has apparently decided to concentrate on WWE now. By the way, the look of his NXT fight that is at the top of this page reminds me of the local pro wrestling scene in Huntsville AL. Grady Reeves did the commentary for these Saturday afternoon bouts. I remember thinking this was all fake, until the blood started. Then that was cool. My mom told me they cut themselves with razor blades - look at all the scars on their foreheads. Well, that's what that pic reminded me of. Gable has to do what he is gonna do. Maybe the lure of Olympic glory will bring him back. Maybe not. I would think WWE is not all that glamorous. I watched Kurt Angle on Joe Rogan and he said the mat is plywood and it hurts. And they get injured quite a bit, much more so than real wrestling. But they love it for some reason. But I also think it takes a special personality to be a WWE guy. I really, honestly, do not see that in Gable which may be why he is having a tough time getting established. mspart

Just so some on here don't point to the source and cry fake news: https://apnews.com/article/voting-machines-georgia-lawsuit-cybersecurity-d8a4653211bf19c21d3b9dc2d59a7a61 Constitutional challenge to Georgia voting machines set for trial early next year

That would disenfranchise someone as the article says. mspart

Crookham the next Cael? As in undefeated 4 years? Ok, that's a long shot but does anyone see why he couldn't be a 4 time NCAA champion? A lot of promise shown in that match. Not a feared of anyone. Confident. Very impressive. I guess we'll see when the time comes. mspart

This is Ouch like major triple dog dare Ouch!! Double groin - Ouch!!! mspart

Oh, yeah. I think you have to limit how large the batteries are and you can only take them on carry on luggage when flying. These batteries are no joke. mspart

https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/a-big-deal-for-voting-pennsylvania-relaxes-mail-in-ballot-rules-will-no-longer-match-voters-signatures/ ‘A Big Deal for Voting’: Pennsylvania Relaxes Mail-in Ballot Rules, Will No Longer Match Voters’ Signatures Colin Kalmbacher Sep 15th, 2020, 4:51 pm 49 comments The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania relaxed controversial verification rules for the processing of mail-in ballots last week in a decided victory and boon for voting rights advocates. The decision also short-circuits a voting access lawsuit already in progress. Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar (D) issued guidance to counties that local election officials cannot perform on-the-spot signature analysis. Effectively, this means that ballots cannot be rejected because an election official believes the voter’s signature on a ballot envelope does not match the signature on file. “Once the qualified voter’s absentee or mail-in application is approved, the voter is mailed a ballot with instructions and two envelopes,” the memo explains. “The outer envelope includes both a unique correspondence ID barcode that links the envelope to the qualified voter’s application and a pre-printed Voter’s Declaration that the voter must sign representing that the voter is qualified to vote the enclosed ballot and has not already voted.” ... But “signature analysis” is specifically mentioned as a no-go area for election workers. So how do you prevent fraud when this is the standard? SOS Boockvar broke PA state law but issuing this guidance in my opinion. Even a whacko left wing state like mine (WA) does signature matching. And if signature matching is not sufficient, then how does anyone propose to preclude fraudulent votes from coming in and being counted? mspart

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/24682527/hamas-terrorists-gang-raped-israeli/ UTTER BRUTALITY Hamas terrorists gang-raped Israeli before one executed her while still sexually assaulting her, horrified witness says Captured Hamas terrorists also revealed they planned to reach the centre of Israel during their bloody October 7 attacks HAMAS monsters gang-raped a woman before shooting her in the head while still having sex with her, a traumatised witness testified. Israel's FBI, known as Lahav 433, is gathering horrifying evidence of sexual assaults in order to prosecute hundreds of captured terrorists who unleashed hell on Israel on October 7. The investigators spoke to a female witness who claimed to have watched the gang-rape and murder of a young Israeli woman by Hamas terrorists. The witness told Lahav 433 that she hid as the horrors unfolded in front of her, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports. "As I am hiding, I see in the corner of my eye that [a terrorist] is raping her," she recalled. "They bent her over and I realised they were raping her and simply passing her on to the next [gunman]." The witness said that one of the rapists subsequently "shot her in the head while he was raping her" and "didn't even lift his pants". She then described that several of the gunmen then mutilated her dead body. They were not close to what they wanted to do, that darn IDF got in the way, just too bad eh UB? Too bad they couldn't keep going and control half of Israel in the same brutal manner, eh UB? Hamas kills Israelis. Hamas kills Gazans. Hamas does not want peace. Hamas wants war. Hamas wants Israelis annihilated. They have said this in the last month in no uncertain circumstances. Hamas depends on the blood of their women and children to gain sympathy. These are the same women and children they use as human shields (note UB that this is a war crime). These are the same women and children they don't allow to escape. These are the same women and children they refuse to defend putting that onus on the UN. They don't care about life. They care about killing people, their own, Israeli, they want to kill. Is it wrong for Israel to demand total surrender? Or do they have to accept a situation where they are constantly harassed by rockets and bullets and the occasional incursion with brutal brutal results? Such freedom fighters these pious people are eh UB? Isn't it time for Gazans to rise up and do in Hamas themselves? Or do they still support this terrorist regime they voted in 20 years ago and can't vote out because of no more elections? I say they should do the former. But if the latter is true, then they are complicit with Hamas and are also enemies of Israel as well. mspart

Crookham looked really good in that match. Vito looked like he wasn't excited to be there. Maybe it was a mental mistake on his part. Vito had some great shots but Crookham had some great defense. For a freshman, he showed maturity beyond his years. I say Crookham is a player this year barring injury. mspart

Smith is definitely in the mix for greatest. But we are blessed to have witnessed over the last decade a wrestling renaissance happening for the USA. Who would have thought that we would have multiple Gold medalists at WCs a decade ago? Multiple Silver medalists and Bronze medalists. In 2023, 7 of 10 MFS medalled. That is just outstanding. Individual Neutral Athletes got 4 medals. It is a good time to be a US Freestyle aficionado. mspart

Yes Rasta - Here's hoping that everything works out well for all involved. mspart

A testament to how much the nation values college football. mspart

Can you imagine how much power it takes to recharge one of those? Bring down a whole town. I hope it works well and was worth the extra money. mspart

So The Hill and Politico, the sources I cited are not believable? NYT calls it a Trial going on now as well. Everyone is. That's all it is known by. So yes, I try to research but when everyone says it, tough to find someone who doesn't when you have no reason to go searching. mspart

Never liked Michigan. Bo Schem.... embodied them for me. Was too good to play UW in the Rose Bowl and lost. Was too good to play BYU in the 1984 Holiday Bowl and lost. Each of those he gave tiresome diatribes of how great Michigan was and they were just too good to have to actually play low lifes like UW (Washington) and BYU. What rude schlubs. Well, Karma coming 40 years later. mspart

Tempting!! mspart

Not good if insinuations are true. That's for sure. I'm sure we will be hearing more about this. mspart

That does make me go hmmmmmm. mspart

They are not hiding behind civilians which is a war crime. They are letting civilian leave in scheduled times every day now, something Hamas did not afford all of the civilians they butchered. You are just on the wrong side of history here. Hamas leaders have said they want perpetual war and perpetual martyrs. They do not want to shield the Gaza civilians, they want them as martyrs. Now that's a cause you can get behind. mspart

Heroin and opium were things people were hooked to way before the oxy's came out. I'm not minimizing the impact the corps have had, just that they did not begin the issue. mspart

Beating Ionel to it - mmmmmmmmmm!! Very nice. Where can I get some? mspart

Agreed. Tough to take Burroughs out of the mix. But Snyder is also in the same running with not so many golds. I think other than Taz, he would have won Gold. Where did Taz come from anyway? Wow. mspart

In the picture, it is heading away from us. The fact that you did not discern that is a tribute to the anti wake design. Now notice it is not an anti woke design, just an anti-wake design. mspart

You should do it. However, on the San Juan Islands run, you have to reserve a spot at the ferry website. You don't pay on the website but it guarantees you get on that ferry. But, if the ferry is not running, then you wait until it does. San Juan ferries are not very reliable that way. I have not been to Orcas, we always head to Lopez. I've been to San Juan also, but never Orcas. I had friends in Jr High saying Orcas was the best. Everyone says so. But we know someone with a cabin on Lopez on the Mud Bay so that's where we head. mspart

Yeah that guy is an idiot. I have to say. mspart
