Name your wager. I'll take an "I'm only here because I want to get paid" totally checked out HEW Gable Steveson over anyone else in the world not named Zare, Massoumi, or Geno right now. 100% serious. I'll call your bet right meow.

You've been waiting all year to make that post, haven't you?

i Purdon't see this happening

Well, Mason Parris will always be an olympian and world medalist. He had a great career while Gable let it last.

Of course Lewan looked like a deer in the headlights. It was the first time in his life that he was in a match where he needed to use his fingers AND toes to count all the points.

Weird because we actually feel bad for you having to watch Bono.

I'll take the guy who made the OTT finals and it won't be pretty. The Byrd who wrestles this weekend won't be the same guy in March when he's back in shape. Who knows which Ruth shows up, hopefully the good one. Meyer Shapiro unanimous MOW if he competes.

It's November. Mobile is still broken with the bottom ad blocking the Tap-A-Talk toggle. Desktop is still a mess as well. Load times are a disaster (see the basic browser dev console screenshot below for the thousands of reasons), multiple tabs is a death wish. Might be worth investing in a fractional product manager who knows what they are doing. While I fully support every person migrating to Brave or similar, expecting people to use a different browser just to use a forum is... not ideal.

They tried that but the kids ate all the fruit snacks and Capri Suns the parents were handing out and missed weight

Kannon Webster is an undefeated #1 seed at B1Gs

I hope you got a discount on your Cascade treadmill because that's the only one durable enough to keep moving those goal posts

Zane Richards beat Gilman for his first world team at 29. What weight was that again? Again, not saying he will make the team. But he will wrestle at olympic trials. He could blow out both knees again on March 31, 2028 and I would still bet my paycheck Spencer Lee will be at OTT one last time. He may go 86 for all I know, but he will be there. He's like JB, Snyder, Taylor, etc - wired different than the rest of us.

Thus why he shows up. He's got that Brands in him.

Ahh crap already forgot he dropped in the quarters not the semis. Welp, I guess it's at WTT or worlds next year. Love me some JB but his (earned) hubris demands a standing O.

If the question is who enters the 2028 OTT or non-oly WTT then I think it is the following: SHOWS UP Lee Vito Brooks Snyder Parris OUT Retherford Green Dake Burroughs (shoes on the mat tomorrow) Taylor (shoes on the mat tomorrow)

The question was can he, not will he. As of now, yes. But no one knows what the future holds in 3.5 years.

Taylor won his first world title at 28 and Burroughs won a title at 34. I'd say there is some time left on the clock in the ultimate match against Father Time, though he is more cruel at the light weights. Luckily Vito has the length to grow into 65 for the next quad.

This seems like a relevant intermission to bump

Shot clock, ride time clock, ALL STALLING!

Messenbrink is on standby to give the Old Yeller treatment if there is a loss in the semis

You're about 15 years behind. Use Nokogiri on Ruby Rails.

Everyone is talking about how hard the cut is going to be for Sadulaev but no one seems concerned that he might actually gain quite a bit from getting back in tip top shape. It's the Russian Tank for crying out loud!

The 2023 team was far above average because guys were trying to qualify for olympic trials and/or getting (more) international experience to gear up for trials. This year had much lower expectations because a lot of the heavy hitters have been going nonstop between free and folk from 2021 (beginning attempts to qualify for trials) through April 2024 at the trials themselves. Peaking again is a lot to ask, especially when these guys in particular have done the international stuff throughout their career. Rest assured the 2027 U23 squad will be another banner year.

But does he have triceps?

Which is why Track and FloArena don't work together even though the acquistion was three (!!!) years ago. Absurd product "roadmap."
