He's been at NLWC practices recently. The NLWC IG account showed him wrestling Snyder. I have no thoughts on the veracity of the story told by the user "Beau Bartlett" on the PSU forum. I hope that, if any of what was said is true, victims are able to come forward if they so choose and find justice. If Carter is guilty of bad shit, hang him out to dry. On the other side, Carter was put on the SafeSport banned list for a bit. I assume that SafeSport did their best and could not corroborate the complaint(s) made against him. Carter's name has since been removed from the SafeSport banned list, which is why he is eligible to practice at NLWC. SafeSport in itself, and as an idea, is a great thing. In an ideal world, it protects victims (and potential victims) while the legal system does its thing. In a less than ideal world, it is weaponized by people for all sorts of potential reasons and results in the loss of employment and reputation for the accused. One thing I'm unaware of: can you even appeal a SafeSport suspension? Let's say someone files a complaint against a Final X competitor, oh, two days before the event. Is there a mechanism to attempt to clear the name of the accused?

Yes, I’m sure Donald Trump, who can’t run a charity in NYS because he stole from it, just *checks notes* “volunteered to be an informant for the FBI”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Color me skeptical that the cartels are using 20' speed boats, with "11" dudes in them, to cover 1300 nautical miles of open ocean. I'm guessing that's a video from CENTCOM.

Bro. Some of the kids in my 5 year old's preschool class have some absolutely insane names. You almost nailed one of them, but slight variation: Kaidence. Like Cobra Kai-dence.

If Blaze got big enough that he was a true 141, sure, but he's wrestling 61kg and 133 if he goes for Penn State this year. Mendez is a 2x NCAA champ for a reason. It's kind of wild that he was giving up most of 10lbs to Bassett, Hardy and Mendez and beat two of the three up at 65kg.

I don't see Stanich beating Marcus Blaze at this point, let alone Mendez.

Imagine his reaction to getting smoked by MM.

Wait? And, do you show random strangers proof of surgical procedures? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While I find Bob Nicolls to be an unsavory character, I can’t say that I agree with the assertion that his comments were racist, or race based. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best: two kids who are not fulfilling their potential also happen to be black, and Bob took the opportunity to open his trap and offer them some unsolicited advice.

So, Ridge Lovett still has a tweet up saying he’s doing a camp/clinic with Beau and Carter. Anyone find that odd? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You realize that you’re effectively accusing Kasak of being party to a sexual crime here, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apparently Carter, Beau and Ridge Lovett are supposed to run a camp together this weekend. https://fcawrestlingpacnw.org/Ridge/Carter/Beau Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is my understanding. In this scenario, it sounds like Cael was made aware that someone stole from Beau Bartlett. It sounds like he reported it to the University PD, who reviewed footage and identified two guys as persons of interest. 1) If that is as far as Cael/coaching staff's knowledge of the problem(s) goes, they are fine. 2) If any member coaching staff knew that Carter was harming anyone, they should be fired. End of story.

"Nothing happened" doesn't mean that the coaches did nothing. Now, maybe Cael did nothing. That is very possible. But, based on the fact that security footage was reviewed, and two people of interest were subsequently identified, I'm guessing that means Cael or another coach contacted the PD, as required.

Seems to me that it WAS reported. That's how they got the security camera footage, and as a result, why Kasak was interviewed by police, remember?

Well, to rinse the bad taste out of your mouth, here’s Aaron Brooks treating Buchanan like my Kelpie treats my 2 year old’s favorite teddy bear: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ryder? As in…Zack Ryder? The RSFR who wrestled a handful of matches at 184 for PSU? Buchanan did not wrestle 184 and Ryder never sniffed 197… Are you talking about Josh Barr? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll do the unthinkable and defend Tom Brands here. Sounds like he did the right thing. Now, could he soften the blow and maybe manage the situation better? I’m guessing he could. You can deliver bad news in a way that doesn’t drive someone away. All of this being said, Bassett’s dad isn’t coming off very well here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Simpler answer: The B-2 is the only airframe that won’t get blown out of the sky AND is capable of carrying the GBU-57. The B-52 would work in uncontested airspace. Israel has likely destroyed a lot of Iranian IADS, but not all, and the B-52 has a big ass radar cross section and limited ability to counteract an incoming SAM. Given its intended purpose, I’d wager the B-2 is a bit better off there. https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/israel-inflicted-severe-damage-on-irans-missile-program-and-air-defenses-207aafae Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The podcast I mentioned above actually talks about this. A group of scientists scientist did the work and found that, shocker of shockers, there was a strong negative correlation between blade length and 400m times. Dudes were running with blades that were 50% longer than the average lower legs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
