  1. I’ve always been impressed with Lee since he showed up in my radar. Have never been a big fan though. Not sure why. That said, I find myself incredibly happy to have him on the team. Such a long road filled with injuries. Very glad that he seems to be healthy enough to really show up and let it rip. Congrats to him. Glad he is our rep and will have the job of getting us qualified. Best of luck to him. And may health be upon him!!
  2. The moment you equated staying home to be there for his family, as a new child was being born, to ducking, you showed your bias. Hard to take your story as an objective retelling of what happened.
  3. I have Brooks as favorite for gold. I bet DT is going to do whatever he can to help Brooks do it, including insights vs Yazdani.
  4. This board seems to be in the process of getting overrun by bitter and classless people that like to troll and otherwise complain and belittle. Less and less actual substance. More and more attempts to insult or think they are insultingly ‘funny’ … I expect driven by some deep down insecurity.
  5. Well deserved Olympian. Awesome wrestler. Can’t wait to cheer for him.
  6. Overall, these finals matches tonight are pretty boring. Not good. Feel like there has been a lot more fun in the past. Ahhhh, we are missing light weight mens … that may be a lesson learned. Need them … way more activity.
  7. Seeing Nolf backing and not pulling trigger is so surprising and abnormal. Dake positioning and hand fighting must be awesome. Agree that Nolf needs a new strategy.
  8. This Schultz Coon Match … makes me sad. What a freaking snore.
  9. So far, this is … the usual. Love those slip throws.
  10. Really good opportunity for Greco guys to have fans reconsider their dislike for Greco.
  11. Ok. Now showing score in small font, top left. Like on TV. Was super big at bottom to start. Small improvement I guess.
  12. Final session. Can’t see score boards … angled so that I see from side .. their edges. Big screen showing match —- started with scores on bottom but now on bottom of match is a banner saying US Olympic Trials. Ummm, we all know what this is. SHOW THE FREAKING SCORE UP THERE!!! Fundamentally PISS POOR thinking on the setup here.
  13. Taylor HEW? Bad weight cut? Seems disinterested.
  14. Taylor not all that active
  15. Amit Elor is on track to be the GOAT of all US wrestling. Look at her degree of success and dominance. Amazing.
  16. His great interviews. His intelligence and insights. His interaction with and appreciation of international fans. Creating an international fan base. His commitment to excellence.
  17. Nolf pt wasn’t push out. It was caution and 1 for Dake evading I believe. Dake had to do better preventing guys getting to his legs. He did that.
  18. There was a brick thrown and a review done. Official said no conclusive proof that call was wrong so the 2 point award was kept. Videos didn’t have a good angle or were too far away to show in detail. Hoping someone near side on the arena has a more conclusive video they can show.
  19. A positive note - they have done something to speed up reviews. They have usually occurred pretty quickly with a clear explanation of the decision. Kudos to this improvement. Hoping it continues.
  20. I think Penn State fans are in the moment and in the moment are passionately behind their guy. And their guy was often against JB this tourney. Lots of fan emotions. Penn State fans are rightly pointing that out. Interestingly, I don’t think many of them saw it that way when they historically trashed Iowa fans for behaving the same way. (Get ready for the yells of ‘it isn’t the same!’)
  21. When he left the arena he was yelled at that his career was over.
  22. I had peacock on my phone. Was able to rewind and watched it a few times. Never saw the singlet pull. Must have been a super fast situation. Inadvertent? Material impact? We will never know.
  23. Thanks to all for posting the pics.
  24. Can anyone post proof of the singlet pull? Zahid not accepting the brick seems damning. But I want to see this. Ref was super adamant about it. Seems like side judges decided to trust him.
  25. @oldschool- you here? This is a Penn State crowd. They are pulling for MM big time. They were the ones booing. Those not Penn state fans around me were observing the events or favoring JB.
