BloodRound

Hah! I just went with that spot because I know he is a Lehigh valley guy now. It's actually a pretty gorgeous hiking spot if you are into that kind of thing. Part of the Appalachian Trail crosses onto it too.

I've posted it once on the forum before, but will reiterate what I think the Mineo "problem" really is: He never accomplished anything beyond a pretty solid high school career and just can't move past that. So instead, he chooses to attach himself to any current stars in the sport and see which ones will stick with him. These relationships exist almost solely on a one-sided, transactional level where Pat can use the relationship to get (pretty dubious) "insider info" and boost his profile as a "trusted source in the sport of wrestling." Of course, that leads to further inflation of an already inflated ego that has not mentally moved past high school and results in the myriad of tirades. Freaking out on Kasak's mom for an apology because she asked him to remove posts about her son, turning on Dean Peterson because he was upset with his Iowa commitment getting leaked early, damn near doxxing a woman because she did not believe in AJ's second chance story; the list goes on. It does not matter what is ethically wrong or right to Pat because all he wants at the end of the day is the boost to his own image. I bet if the Ferrari family came out denouncing Pat's posts about AJ, he would not hesitate to start posting "AJ is a r*pist" rhetoric. In short, he is a leech. I would love if someone pushed him off the side of the highest peak in the Delaware Water Gap.

biweekly, really.

We can be against it again after it takes care of Minnow. Oh god, yeah... Pull up tierlist maker.

If this comes back to bite Minnow in his working life, it will be a win for the wrestling community at large. We can do without unsavory personalities like him in our sport!

Antrell Taylor does not reach the podium. Call me crazy.

How loveless and empty the life of Patrick Mineo must be.

It's all a conspiracy.. this thing goes right to the top.

I think Mineo has more experience bullying college kids than whatever he actually does for a living.

Yeah, I actually believe it coming from him for once. The attention craving comes to both naturally enough where I wouldn't be surprised if they were cousins...

Minnow..

Not gonna lie, seeing that match over Kasak alone made the quarterfinal rounds well worth attending.

This reads like a Dale Gribble monologue. I'm here for it.

eh.

I have come around to the idea of a Kyle Snyder heel turn being a fun arc after this.

The only way Snyder survives this is by doing a full turn to Kenny Powers style celebrity. ... But what a real bummer. I will still never forget where I was when I heard he won the gold.

What thread though? I just tried looking around and couldn't find a thing.

Shoot, this is a good topic. As much as I love dunking on Bo Job Nickal, I have to say that the Gable thread caught me in the midst of the whiplash that match generated. With his finger always on the pulse, Jimmy is very necessary for this board.

It would be beyond hilarious if Alvarez first of all, GOT the medical redshirt he is apparently owed, and then lost his starting spot to Jordan Williams AGAIN.

Jersey, and I am pretty sure Burroughs is already opening clubs near his hometown of Winslow. While there is a wealth of talent from here, the runner-ups for this category would be Ashnault or Suriano, but I honestly could not see either going that route.

Pastry man delivers once again.

Interested a lot by this one. He seemed pretty content with how his career played out after AA'ing. Wondering if he can realistically keep the momentum up to repeat with age and weight cut issues lingering.

He doesn't; but I'd love to find his reporting supervisor and see what he thinks of Patrick arguing on social media on company time.

My brain is truly dead this morning because I cannot think of anything else to say beyond it's funny that Bo lost and Mineo spent an entire day crashing out on Iowa fans for the sake of someone who probably wouldn't look his way in public.

They get sent to a farm where they can wrestle all the time to their little hearts' content, Jimmy.
