you're all over the place. i never 'wondered' in this thread why there was hate on Brooks. all i 'wondered' was what you meant by 'a billion muslims' and i'm still wondering b/c it still no sense.

move goalposts all you want. the hate isn't coming from muslims ffs.

wtf are you talking about? i said 'alleged' 100 times on multiple shows.

also, fwiw, i did talk to the author of the Daily Collegian article. and i did talk to Sydney Bartlett at length. has anyone else?

i never heard anything remotely close to this. there were always accusations that psu messed around with performance enhancers, and it's been said that Carter is a handful and a pain in the ass, but i've never heard anything (prior to this) about bullying or inappropriateness in any way. you guys are right that upon the first post (by Beau on the psu forum) i took this less seriously. to me it sounded like locker room beef. when the article came out, it became clear that it wasn't that simple (to put it mildly).

that's not what anyone said, and a distinction that everyone seems to be glossing over. you can write about it, you can talk about it, but you can't position the allegations as facts. you can't condemn or indict based on allegations, no matter how true you think the allegations are. that's just sloppy and irresponsible. i ain't doing it, that's for sure, and you can all hate away on me or call me whatever you want.

i'm aware of the 'no false prophets' quip. but the 'a billion muslims would like a word' was in response to 'why so much hate on Brooks'. i don't see the hate for brooks coming from 'a billion muslims.' and i saw the hate for brooks long before that incident.

can you explain what this means?

crazy. you'd think the real journalists in iowa would have gotten to the bottom of this already. maybe they're still working on the story of who really shot Sam Stoll.

are you sure you know who is who? i talked 3x's more on the subject than basch did.

i didn't say he lied. i said it hasn't been proven and until it is i am not, like you, talking about it as if it's fact. where is this screenshot? how do you know Carter is gone from NLWC?

you're not good at logic, and have no idea what 'journalism' is. it matters ZERO what i think. it only matters what has been PROVEN. at this point in time, nothing has. i will speak with more certainty when it has. i'm not sure if you're aware but half the major wrestling media personalities are literally in a lawsuit right now.

i agree with you IF that's what happened. how can anyone say with certainly that that's what occurred? never, in any legal matters pending, would i report as fact 'allegations' with no evidence. you guys are free to speculate, assume, and make up your mind immediately. that's fine. while i can do the same, what i cannot do is present it as fact. it aint happening. call me whatever you want.

of course it is concerning, if that's what actually happened. i can't discuss the situation as if Beau's account of it is fact.

i'm assuming you mean in your line of work. i have no idea who you are or what you do. i'm speaking about your previous post where you regurgitated that 'carter was let go from NLWC' was is wholly unknown.

i didn't call it a nothing burger. and 'jump the gun' ? lmao. that's exactly what you're accusing me of NOT doing, except you're too dumb to realize it.

no. pick a lane. b/c right now you're talking out both sides of your mouth. is it that we didn't talk about it? or is it what we said?

the irony of you telling journalists what they should do why parroting fake news.

what would a real reputable wrestling journalist have said on this topic, beetlebrain? tell me.

help me understand. you guys seem to be contradicting yourselves. are we under fire for not talking about it? or are we under fire because we talked about it?

lol. stop.

in all of those cases they were dealt with and the coach was removed. i mean, it's not a good thing that they even happened, but i'm not sure what you're looking for. they were dealt with, and it doesn't seem like there's a plague of these instances. the alleged Starocci situation isn't even in the same bucket. (coach/athlete)

time and money

depends what your (personal) values are. do you think it's fine to just throw bags of cash? or do you think monetary offers should be tied to reality? not saying there's a right answer. but there's certainly a right answer based on what's best for DI wrestling.

but they now have to go through an arbitrator. they game is totally changed.
