Ding. Another violent crime. The local DA is going to indict Trump for it. And 16 of his co-conspirator bird dogs.

Then why do the urban, blue-leaning politicians and wokesters worry about Bubba and Cletus going to jail? No need to have bail reform and let-all-the-criminals-out-of-jail plans if pasty skinned rednecks are the ones going there. Shouldn't incarcerating the rednecks put the prison populations into the proper equity balance? (An ancilliary question: shouldn't we demand criminal equity across the man/woman divide also be requiring a woman go to jail for every man who goes to jail. Incarceration is inclusion = a new Incluceration Program!) Maybe the term "violent crime" and the associated statistics do not align with what people experience. Riots in multiple cities with billions of dollars in damage and many people killed = mostly peaceful protest and no violent crime statistics. Yet it is scaring people and businesses who have choices out of the area. Bubba shoots Cletus over the moonshine jug. Several statistical violent crimes yet no one outside of the Hatfields and McCoys knows nor in any way feels unsafe or threatened. Keep your stats and try to buy a loaf of bread at Luis Vuitton with it. We'll keep our bodies and families and businesses safe by going elsewhere.

Yes. But we'll be doing it with 'Merican accents!! No furrin accents in these here bitter deplorable clinger parts.

Sorry NHS, we now have our new Hypothetical Coach of the Year!

Can I get a secret decoder ring to terms used here? Deuce = ? OK, I get that it is the number 2, en francais, bien sur. And what is the reference? I infer that it is a doube entendre of taking a dump and something else but I am not sure what the something else is. 30 percenter = ? As in, a 1 percenter is the very rich and a 30 percenter is the upper class? I really can't suss it out by the context of the posts.

I love this topic and am troubled by the implications of such dominance. I don't know what the answer is. Professional and college sports have had to address non-competitive dominance scenarios in the past (salary caps, scholarship limits, etc.) but none seem to apply to NCAA wrestling very well. Congrats to NHS for his make-believe coach of the year win on this make-believe topic. And even more so for channeling his inner IlliniWrestlingBlog in the wit and wisdom of his post.

125 KG internationally (276 or so) and 285 in folk style are the limits, right? So yeah, he makes weight. He can even have cheeseburgers in his pockets to make weight.

A funny family story: Beauty and the Beast movie had been recently released so we took our two young children to see it. Several days later little sister (about 3 years old at the time) breaks into a fit of screaming and sobbing from the next room where she is with her 5 year old brother. After quickly assessing that she has no injury or other obvious cause to her distress we calm her down enough to elicit the cause: Sobbing the turned and pointed an accusing finger at her brother, "He said I am an Overgrown Pocket Watch!". Followed by a fresh round of wailing. GWN, you are absolutely correct. The words between the children were absurd - especially to us adults who were tying ourselves in knots trying not to laugh. But to those two children, his intent was to cut her to the bone and he did it very effectively. Overgrown Pocket Watch is still a favorite family insult, often muttered under the breath. En garde, you… you overgrown pocket watch. – Lumiere

I concur with my colleagues. This is great stuff and I really appreciate that you put it together for our edification and entertainment. I would love the years 2 - 4 comparisons. That will be the closest thing to a fair comparison across the ages to your already provided per match comparison which as close as possible accounts for differing bracket size. Maybe a "Round of 16 and later in years 2 - 4" would be the ultimate apples to apples comparison.

Lots of them. With boosters available every six months for life. And just as effective as they were for their original intended virus.

No you didn't.

This would definitely require an asterisk. 5 years for goodness sake!

Right. There is a movement by Indians to get the name Redskins reinstated. Many bizarre unIndians decided those Indians should be insulted. NAGA is not happy with those flat out obnoxious butt-in-skis. https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/washington-redskins-native-american-indians/2023/08/11/id/1130461/

We certainly are a bunch of mostly short insensitive dweebs. The thin skinned sensitive dweebs with normal looking ears are on the basketball and USWNT soccer forums ('scuse me, fora).

My pithy and quite brilliantly paradoxical statement is precisely right but you should curb your enthusiasm. Your anecdotally being in the far left tail of the bell curve does nothing to counter the truth that men (as a population) have an athletic advantage over women (as a population). The means and distributions of the athletic capabilities are distinctly different which allows a merely above average male to be dominant when competing against elite females. So, it is ABSOLUTELY TRUE that men (not a particularly left tail of the bell curve individual man) have an unfair advantage over women (admittedly, not Wonder Woman, Amazons, nor Valkyries) in almost every athletic endeavor which rewards speed, size, strength, explosiveness, and aggression to be successful.

Nothing is absolute. Including this statement.

The concept of probable cause and the need for search warrants are EXACTLY opposed to your sentiment here. "If you did nothing wrong you should not mind the police pulling you over randomly just to ensure your papers are in order". "If you did nothing wrong you should not have to worry about the STAZI taking a look through all of your household belongings and effects every other week". NO NO NO a thousand times NO. Granting the temporary powers of investigation to a body is very dangerous and can be abused (has been abused without fail) even without wrongdoing by citizens. Even if I have nothing to hide, Mr. FBI, you may not look to satisfy your own curiosity. This is a basic tenet of freedom and the rights inherent in humans based solely on our status as humans.

You can secure it with your covid mask straps. At least then the masks will be doing something useful.

He will make up the difference from the bribes anyway. You think he's on vacation? No way - he's spending 40% of his time shaking down oligarchs worldwide and providing them with the "illusion of access"! This man is BRILLIANT.

Absolutely. By the terminology of today: Speech = violence. Silence = violence. At all times I am either talking or I am not therefore I am, by definition, Violent. Extreme? Of course. I regularly use terms like Man, Woman, Boy, Girl, Mom, Dad, America. I think the Constitution is pretty cool and we hardly even use it anymore so it is like new. I also use gas stoves, incandescent lights, eat meat and not bugs (not on purpose, anyway), and believe in merit based college admissions and career advancement. The FBI is monitoring me and now, by extension, everyone on this forum. I also have a streak of grammar extremism. Is being "aloud to take the 5th" possible? Taking the 5th is not speaking (violence, of course) and therefore not aloud. I had the right, permission, and was allowed to take the 5th but I did not have the capability.

Upon further review; nhs67 reinstated. Sound it out. Five words!

it is cute that you think universities have anything to do with academics any longer. UNC had to be forced by the Supreme Court to take academics seriously in its admissions policy. Duke?!? The professors and medical staff at Duke "university" have serially beclowned themselves with SJW hoaxes over lacrosse dancers and denying surgery to children due to vaccine naziism. It would take less than 30 seconds to find rampant seriously non-academic policy or practice or utterance from the Wahoos or GaTech trying to chickify their engineers by lowering the standards and grade inflation but I respect my time too much to do so. " . . . take academics seriously" Cute. Tinkerbell and the Tooth Fairy have some money for your next molar, IX Ripe. P.S. I agree with your handle: Title IX is and always has been over-ripe and has always had the stenches of being developed by fermented and addled brains.

No woke math allowed here.

5 equals 5. Now. Forever.

Yes. This is something I conflated in my earlier post which was sloppy thinking.
