That's loco. Worlds only has two kinds of brackets: bad draws and worse draws. Dream draws are extremely rare - too much talent and too many participants. Not quite the same as smaller olympics brackets that can be lopsided.

We shall see.

Less optimal, but medal match still guaranteed. And unless the cut is really that brutal Ghasempour should dispatch Kadiev by a couple takedowns. I know he's shredded but it really seems like he's just being dramatic about the cut because he hasn't had to do one in a long time.

Brutal draws. We may only see 2-3 medals this year inlcuding the mercenaries. This is about as bad as it could go. 57 Lee gold 61 Jax 0-1 or 1-1, won't get pulled back 65 Seabass has a favorable draw, will need to beat Tevanyan in quarters for a medal because Kiyooka is going to go bonkers. Woods 0-1 or 1-1, 50% he gets pulled back if he can win his first match. Amouzad and Sujeet will be the fire. 70 Duke tough match off the scale 01 or 1-1. Gomez same issue. No medal. 74 Carr has a meat grinder. Hoping for a medal but 74 is always so tough. 79 Haines has a RUS expat from Sadulaev's club off the scale. 2 Asians medalist, won Yasar Dogu last year at 79. Not great! Probably pulled into repechage. Mikey Labs might win his first match, no clue if he will get pulled back. 86 Zahid meets Ghasempour in the quarters. The earlier the better, because Zahid has gas tank issues and Ghas is going to be walking around at 97 the minute weigh-ins are done. Ramos might sneak in a couple wins and be a bracket buster. Where is Amine? Is he really going all-in on the influencer career? 92 Hidlay has the best draw of anyone and has an optimal path to the semis which as long as he doesn't get upset should put him in a medal match or finals... hopefully. Honis on the other hand will likely go 0-1 and not get pulled back in. 97 Snyder has a good path to the finals as long as he doesn't trip on a landmine. 125 Hendrickson opens with the same guy he pinned at U23 worlds with a torn knee. But that match was MUCH closer than the scoreboard said as it was 11-9 with a minute to go. Second match is just as tough, then third match will be savvy old man Sharipov. If he runs that gauntlet, he is graced with Zare's presence. I think he can make it to Zare in the semis to get a bronze, but I would not be surprised by a DNP. Jovan Smith probably 0-1, might go 1-2 if he can pull off a first round upset.

I don't see Nagao successfully balancing med school and wrestling next season. It's just too difficult in my opinion but god ha$ a plan.

ODPoo

Yeah because none of us ever did that to get into a bar before turning 21

The last time Kyle Snyder was mentioned with head he was buckeye naked getting escorted out the La Quinta by Columbus' finest

When the options are beer gut or ride the pine, the only acceptable answer is to crack a Busch Latte and work on getting out from bottom.

If team USA brings back my six predicted medals it should be considered an amazing success. I really think we will be closer to 3-4 when it's all said and done unfortunately.

I believe that if Lee takes the a fluke loss he will be bounced no repechage. I also do not believe that will happen. I believe he is the best wrestler on Team USA and he is the best wrestler at 57 in the world. I believe he is going to hulk-smash the competition. I believe that Hendrickson has had trouble with oak trees like Kerk and fast heavies like Hillger. I am hoping for the best. I hope I am wrong when I say that if he meets up with Zare, it is going to be very very ugly. He has the technique to beat anyone else, but that may not be enough. Go Carr!

I am not defending the murder of anyone, ever. I said this is a logical outcome after our country had a final chance at coming together nearly 30 years ago but instead splintered to the point of no return where we are now. Where was this energy for all the school shootings? If you want to play the politics game, where was this energy when the MN Speaker of the House and her husband, and a MN state senator were murdered? I wish that this would be the a-ha moment where everyone collectively says enough is enough. But I wasn't born yesterday, I know that things are going to become more radicalized and get worse.

Appreciate your honesty that you believe that dead children are worth it.

Hey just checking in if your community has ever had to deal with a school shooting? I did. I missed your comment earlier because I was preoccupied. My central Illinois elementary school had one. Would you still stand with Charlie if you saw a 6 year old girl's body carried out with blood all over the carrier and she has no pulse while her mother is screaming in agony and her father is racing to the parking lot windows down shouting, praying, hoping his worst fear didn't come true? This is a binary yes or no question.

This escalation will only continue. The Heritage Foundation under the guise of the Tea Party brought this to smashmouth forefront positioning under a perfect storm of circumstances and they pounced. We will all lose. WE. WILL. ALL. LOSE.
