  1. Teyon Ware should get an interview.
  2. Out of curiosity I went to the Oak Park wiki. For a town that size, there are an insane number of notable people associated with it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_from_Oak_Park,_Illinois
  3. For coaches, I think Tom Brands is the best. I always think/hope he is going to start talking about UFOs. Carl is the worst. Boring by design.
  4. Yikes. Serious stuff there. Here is to a speedy recovery.
  5. Retherford won't get a rematch. Anthony Valencia repping Mexico.
  6. Is this the qualifier for the Olympics?
  7. Read about Bluesky social the other day. Serious funding, proven leadership. Given all Twitter's current issues, it could be following bud light down the drain.
  8. LOL @ not how white men fight!! MAGA are honor driven like the Shaolin?!
  9. They put a nice spin on their unscheduled disassembly at Space X. Classic engineering humor, which I enjoyed.
  10. Screw up something on Space X, Twitter or both?
  11. Championships without Russia don't resonate the same either.
  12. This is true, but I think he'll have more success against international competition than, for instance, Brooks. His issues are David Taylor and that Americans rely on conditioning, which is his kryptonite. I hope he joins his brother in Mexico. I think he has an excellent shot at a medal. Personally, I enjoy watching him.
  13. I think pd3 got into grad school at Iowa.
  14. First period of any match against Taylor.
  15. Marsteller beat JB in one of their 2/3 matches at the last WTT, so he can challenge.
  16. When the headgear rules changed a few years ago, did it become illegal to grab them during the match?
  17. He generates offense from there, so it is not passivity.
  18. Starocci's knee looked sore. He limped a little and stood up gingerly. Sure it was much more painful after Ringer beat him decisively. Speaking of which - Glad to see Ringer back as he has his own health problems.
  19. The money question is interesting. He probably lived on ramen early on. I recall him saying he gave himself a budget of 2000/month when he was wrestling because more that that would be a distraction.
  20. Some of the teams do a lot of "overreaching" then. Shouldn't go into natties with sore muscles.
  21. Meh, there is more than one way to end a match early. I kind of like it. It is rare to see the really good ones lose via lace but the possibility exists, which is a plus. Not disingenuous to compare it to pinning. Seems like FS rules allow pinning to finish matches but they don't do much to encourage it. Stark contrast to folk.
  22. We'll see what happens but Nolf has KOT gapped pretty good right now. I don't think Nolf will retire until 2028.
  23. The dad job seems to happen a lot. Fix and Das Ringer at OSU.
  24. Yazdani won 70 kg in Vegas/2015, leaving James Green amongst others in his wake. Edit: He won silver rather than gold.
