I would pay good money for a Dake vs Kadi rematch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Being WC at the weight gets him SOME points, but apparently counts less than winning the Grand Prix of BFE and Eastern Southwestern Turkmenistan Open. I get that UWW wants to incentivize wrestling at their events but this way results in non-medalist wrestlers getting seeded into positions that make it easier to medal.

Sha'carri Richardson a treasure or tactless?
Le duke replied to Threadkilla's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
She’s a very polarizing figure. Was supposed to go to Tokyo but ran afoul of USADA for weed. Super talented. But she seems/seemed very easily distracted. One thing that I noticed recently is that she’s no longer doing the wig/gigantic nails/bedazzled singlet thing. This may or may not have been the look she was going for but “cabaret” would be a good description. Not saying her focus on that side of things caused her poor results, but her better, recent results seem to correspond with ditching all of that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Ol’ Bird Bones Deakin would have looked right at home at 174. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anthony Cassar: "Cael keeps you grounded in your faith"

Allow me to clarify: Plenty of guys who didn’t outwardly and regularly express their faith in various forms of media. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I don’t remember him doing that in college interviews. Time flies, I suppose? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Plenty of non-religious kids have come through PSU’s team as well. Cael helps people understand that they are more than “just” wrestlers and their identity and value is not tied to their results on the mat. Win or lose, it’s not the end of the world. Like @Gus says, that’s freeing to many of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Please tell me which expired weapons system you would employ against which moving, human, non-combatant target. Would you target fighting age men primarily, or pregnant women as the bed bang for your buck? How would you conduct reconnaissance and targeting? Would you fly drones into Mexican airspace?

Iowa and Iowa State Involved in Gambling Investigation

There are going to be a LOT of guys at not-very-optimal weights for Iowa vs ISU. If nothing else, should make for a competitive dual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I didn’t think that Bastida was a particularly large 197 last year. He didn’t look huge against Dean, a small 197, for example. If Keuter gets up to 240, he’d have a pretty decent length, reach and strength advantage. Now, will he even be practicing at that point? Unlikely. Iowa vs ISU is usually before FB bowl season, I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

That young man looked so clueless when he last wrestled folkstyle. I could see Woods picking up 6 for the Black and Gold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Facundo, Bartlett, SVN and McIntosh are the training partners for Dake, Lee, Retherford and DT. That’s why they are listed, and I guess they could be alternates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The ballad of Bidenomics. The song: Rich Men North of Richmond
Le duke replied to Paul158's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
That’s just it: What you think of as “pays very well” might not get someone else out of bed. A lot of small business have been screwing over their employees with shitty wages that THEY think are fair. For a long time. COVID exposed that when a lot of people retired, others went back to school or otherwise improved themselves, and moved on from their previous jobs. In a capitalist system, the employees get a vote, too, and if they are telling you to get bent for $X/hr, that’s on you. I changed jobs twice and got promoted twice in the last four years. My salary, after grad school, has almost quadrupled. While I enjoyed my time at both of my previous positions, they wouldn’t be on my radar if I decided to go looking for a job again. I was underpaid at the first job, did OK at the second and now make a very good salary. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
If Willie is going to claim, repeatedly, that Alex Jones was right about many things, one would reasonably conclude that Willie has heard Alex Jones make statements about those many things through the consumption of his content. Also, it’s quite telling that you’re effectively defending Alex Jones by saying that the “BS from the MSM” is what caused my opinion of him. Like he’s not actually a bad guy, but the MSM is out to get him. That’s some gaslighting and you should be ashamed of yourself. Seriously. That’s pathetic. No, I’ve read the transcripts of the trials. The actual testimony. Where that piece of shit got nailed to the wall for doing what he did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who is “they”? Anyone quoting CPI is using that. Current CPI is 3.2%. https://www.bls.gov/cpi/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

“Folks not wanting to work”. That’s code for “people don’t want to work for the crap wages I want to pay them.” If you can’t find qualified applicants, the problem is YOU. No company that pays well has ANY problem finding qualified employees. The jobs I’ve hired people for had dozens of very qualified applicants. We expanded by 40% in the last three years. The only person we’ve had resign took another position with our company in a different state, in order to be closer to his family. The guy we hired to replace him had three other offers. And, America has the lowest inflation of any large western democracy. UK, Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands are all above the US. Large companies taking advantage of the pandemic to make record profits is a feature of (vulture) capitalism. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
