I assume you’re trolling but weren’t both he and Cassioppi “in the room” all last season?

Probably. Although the article says student-athletes “can’t directly be paid to play.” Didn’t you say that is not technically the case based on an Athletic article?

Talk about burying the lede!

A better pastry troll question would probably be something like, “in a potential match between Spencer Lee and RBY, what percentage of Penn State fans would be cheering for RBY?”

I’ll take the poop emoji as a no, @Threadkilla

Wouldn’t be shocked to see 1 of Haines or Kasak. Mesenbrink would shock me

Got a link to anyone here saying they hope Yazdani beats him? You (and I guess me now by replying) fell for the pastry troll job

In between Basch name drops, I believe Hendrickson said he will be announcing his decision on Monday.

FWIW Minnow says Kennedy, Gilman and Pearsall are all making “way north” of $100k, which I’d expect depending on how much north we’re talking. Multiple people are claiming it’s $500k, that would be surprising to me

Wasn’t Lee supposed to be becoming a lawyer or something?

Good points. He’s definitely right more often than he’s wrong though, although he will often be largely right with a minor detail wrong such as in this case. The annoying thing is he also often tries to delete the evidence when he is wrong. But at this point he’s built up such a following that I’d bet he likely gets “leaked” info that guys want to get out, but just don’t want to be the ones releasing it

I would agree that when Minnow first posted it that it probably wasn’t worth getting into, and I don’t believe personally that I really did. But once Pyles confirmed it and Brooks himself acknowledged it, the “rumor” became irrelevant IMO.

I'm confused why multiple people have commented about "a Minnow rumor," considering the athlete himself acknowledged that the only thing that was wrong about the Minnow rumor was the name of the specific drug. Glad to hear he's been cleared, hopefully he learned his lesson.

I have a hard time believing Scott would have had more than about a 1% chance of winning a title at OSU as long as Cael is still coaching. But I’d probably say that about most current coaches. Thanks for the research, but I’m not sure they’ve convinced me that Scott was any better than the 3rd best coach in the ACC. So where would you have ranked Scott as a coach in the ACC? Certainly behind Pop based on your numbers. I guess you’re trying to say Robie’s situation isn’t comparable. What about Keith Gavin? Looks like this will be his 8th season. And Gavin finished ahead of Scott at Scott’s last 2 ACC tournaments.

“Less severe sanctions.” He hasn’t received any sanction yet has he?

I only brought it up because Brooks did. Sounded like he was saying it was an issue that he didn’t have the prescription so “he could have gotten it from the streets”

Could they do the 1 second injury default?

Again, I didn’t say he was a cheater. He said he had to get lawyers involved. That sounds like more than just “he then filed it properly.” Yes, announcing he was on the medication is a good sign, but that still doesn’t explain not bringing the prescription with him if he knew you’re supposed to have it (plus seemingly additional paperwork?).

I didn’t say he was a cheater. I said I’m not convinced he’s not a cheater (sorry for the double negative). Uh, Brooks admitted to taking it and that he didn’t have the proper paperwork initially.

I will cheer for everyone on team USA. But I would prefer it if there are no cheaters on the team. At this point I’m not convinced that Brooks is any less of a cheater than Fix was proven to be. I doubt PSU fans said much different about Fix than fans of other teams besides OSU. But they sure seem quicker to jump to Brooks’s defense than fans of other teams. I could probably pull some quotes if you wish.

Also keep in mind Brooks releases YouTube videos where he shoves a camera in his own face. I don’t think most people have too much issue with him sharing his beliefs and what he thinks makes him successful (at least in this interview he said something about “being prepared” and not just Jesus), it’s really just when he puts down others (like DT or the 2 billion Muslims in the world) for not sharing his beliefs when he gets most of the criticism

I’m confused. Does having a mic shoved in your face turn you into a devout Christian? I’m sure many of us would sound like Braeden Davis after B10’s. I’m not sure many would sound like Brooks unless they were doing it intentionally.
