  1. Triathlete: Curler: 11-time world champion canoer: Boxer: Tennis player:
  2. For me, it's not even his attitude (although his attitude informs his behavior). If you tell a mom that her child is ugly, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, or even if it is actually true: you're still an a**hole.
  3. This is not ad hominem? I give up. I can't compete with your superior intellect.
  4. It's well known that when someone resorts to ad hominem attacks, they've lost their argument.
  5. Too bad they couldn't figure out how to correctly rank Ivy greyshirt freshmen. For instance, at 149 Jaxon Joy (who went 29-1 last year) pinned Hibler. At 165 Louis Cerchio (who went 29-6) beat Myers and majored Taylor.
  6. Accurate from my perspective. The (internet) expression "<insert person/group> would like a word" has never meant "<person/group> literally takes offense at this particular statement." A stupid example would be if I said "Kyle Dake is the only Cornell wrestler to win four NCAA titles," then someone would come back with "Yianni would like a word" without it meaning that Yianni ever saw me make that statement.
  7. My apologies for wrongly thinking you were defending what you originally wrote, when it was BAC who wondered where all the hate came from. Everything I wrote still stands if you correct the references to you. You don't think that Muslims would take offense at Brooks' calling the Prophet Mohammed a false prophet? And you still think that was just a "quip?"
  8. No it wasn't. It was in response to you wondering why so many think he's an a-hole.
  9. Here's your post to which I replied. Note that the word "hate" doesn't appear in your post, but there's another descriptor that appears a couple of times. I highlighted it for your convenience. I have to say that your use of the word "quip" to describe Brooks' insult of the Prophet Mohammed and his followers to be, uh, interesting.
  10. Not sure that 200m butterfly guys are the sharpest tools in the drawer. (my master coach was friends with Craig Beardsley. He told us the story about how, near the end of his 200m fly WR swim, everything just turned red)
  11. A billion Muslims would like a word.
  12. Grabbing a handful of swimsuit while doing backstroke...
  13. Arujau beat #1s RBY (2023) and Fix (2024), and lost to #1 Rivera 6-2 and 8-3 and beat #2 Piccinninni (2019). Close, but no cigar.
  14. No, it could *never* happen in the US of A. Literally. https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/eddie-b-and-the-americans-at-the-1984-l-a-olympics
  15. So, an athlete takes steroids to, among other things, boost his testosterone and increase muscle mass. Body stops producing testosterone in response. Hormone level drops. Unrelated medical tests show lowered testosterone levels. Athlete takes DHEA, available OTC in the US, in the belief that it will help raise testosterone levels. Athlete gets out-of-competition test, pops for banned substance DHEA. Nah.
  16. He's both. You have to be pretty dumb to be caught using PEDs these days.
  17. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Or so I've been told.
  18. Wait, who just bombed who?
  19. Curious why anyone would allow USA wrestlers to compete at international tournaments at this point.
  20. I've seen every Arujau match he had in his college career (perhaps missing a few that weren't streamed), but I don't think 2023 Arujau is better than 2016 Garrett. 34-0, 70% bonus. And this:
  21. This says everything you need to know about Caveira, and why there really isn't any reason to engage them on this subject (or a bunch of other non-wrestling subjects, no doubt).
