He comes across as more relaxed than when at Iowa when we saw him last.

It will happen right after the election of a New Pope.

Truth be told the Minnahana mascot is actually a Ground Squirrel.

George Washington may have said it best, if not first: “Religious controversies are always more productive of acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause.” To prevent such controversies, Washington ordered Continental Army commanders “to protect and support the free exercise…and undisturbed enjoyment of…religious matters." ------------------------- Washington’s friend, the widely heralded polemicist Thomas Paine tried ending the controversy. “I do not believe in…any church,” he declared. In a call to arms against what he called church-state tyranny in early America, he insisted that “every national church or religion accuses the others of unbelief; for my own part, I disbelieve them all.” -------------------------- John Adams, who had signed the Declaration of Independence, inked his presidential signature on the 1796 Treaty of Tripoli affirming to Americans and the world that “the United States is not, in any sense, a Christian nation.” The 23 members present in the U.S. Senate (out of 32) ratified the document unanimously. --------------------- The idea of a Jesus figure sound nice but the reality of those who are believers is the biggest reason to stay away from it.

"legally innocent", for now. The record paints a very different picture, though not the lousy one some of the news headlines are trumpeting. He is a John & got caught. He isn't running a string of call girls, unless there is a lot more to the story that has not yet been made public. Husband & father who cheats & lies. Still, a damned good wrestler.

BuckyBadger wrote: They are calling out the hypocrisy of what he says and preaches to others and how what he does behind closed doors goes completely against it. If he wasn’t so outspoken about lifestyle, morality, the right path, then I’d be with you. ------------------------------- He's a "Christian". Jim Bakker Catholic Priests Mormon molesters so very many others. Want to bet he will be a "Miracle of Forgiveness" type & eventually go on the preaching circuit talking about how "Satan had me but now I'm saved"? As for "no problem with consenting adults" - in general it is right. Big problem is when you start going to hookers you stand a very good chance of ending up with someone forced into the life. Too often working off some kind of debt to dirtbags who take advantage of them. It isn't like many in Nevada in the Counties where prositution is legal, licensed and inspected. Even there you have problems. Face it, the Golden boy has feet of clay & has been lying to us - but worse is lying to his Family.

Mormon belief is that Jesus was a Polygamist, married to at least three women who are mentioned with him in scripture. Married & had kids - otherwise how could he have the full life experience?

Maybe he can get advice from Donald Trump - we now he pays off whores. Or Robert Kraft, the guy who owns the New England Patriots. Both rich & "successful" guys who pay for sex.

For now it is like Bobby Douglas vs Dan Gable. Bobby beat him a number of times. A few years and a more mature Gable & we know how good he became. Lee is ahead of him now & it will be a few years before that changes.

He would do better eating Garlic Pickles and hoping his breath scares opponents. He won before & would not defend it. Catching lightning in a bottle twice is not likely.

"Who are the guys that at their absolute best, could have beaten anyone at any time including those GOATS?" No one on the list would have taken John Smith when Gold was on the line. Many tried for years but when he was going for Gold at Worlds and Olympic games he always got it done. Some hard fought matches along the way but he had another gear no one could touch.

Every State that has High School wrestling should have at least one State Sponsored University with a wrestling program. Not doing so it a clear message to the kids that they & their efforts do not matter.

Febuary 2019 is the last time Oklahoma State beat Iowa in a dual meet. New coach David Taylor's first effort was a good one but his guys met an Iowa squad ready & willing to scrap with them. Will they do it this year? Will a year in the room & getting "his guys" into the rotation make the difference? Tom Brands loves handing it to the Cowboys. Will his guys do it again this coming season?

Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry stated it well. "A Legend in his own mind."

Always wondered why so many Physical Education teachers and sports coaches were lardbutts? They were pushing physical conditioning yet many couldn't even bend over enough to tie their own shoes.
