  1. As bad as Jordan looks from this, which is bad, Hellickson looks even worse. Hellickson has nothing to lose from coming out and supporting his athletes. He even is on tape in a prior interview essentially admitting that he thought the situation was strange with the showering and he brought this up with Strauss. Nobody expects him to say he knew everything and covered it up-they just want him to admit what is obvious. That he should have done more and the admin at tOSU should have done more, but didn't. There was one case in the documentary where a victim sought care at the student health center and then was drugged/driven home and raped. I think there were many more cases from the report, but I'm pretty sure some actions in his "medical check" could qualify as rape depending on what exactly he was doing. So I'm sure some of the cases reported by the tOSU investigation were that (actions in his medical check).
  2. This is the most shocking and devastating situation that I've seen on this forum since Adam Frey. There is really nothing to discuss, since there are no updates and it is clearly an extremely dire situation. At the same time, how can we discuss anything else with this going on? Askren is one of the most notable wrestlers of the past two decades. He is in the prime of his life. This has come out of nowhere.
  3. All it takes is one AJ Ferrari incident and they immediately have an excuse to get a new HC.
  4. The only surprising thing here is that the documentary wasn't made sooner. Every major sex abuse scandal ends up with a documentary. I don't recall anyone accusing Jordan of that.
  5. I did not know that could happen. I guess that would mean it's in his bloodstream. Absolutely terrible.
  6. Surprised to see Nebraska do this.
  7. Coaching job at what level? A lot of coaches aren't/weren't good wrestlers. Is there actually something nefarious here is she just somebody who wants attention (like almost everyone in 2025).
  8. We need to embrace this. Maybe she can become wrestling's Eddie the Eagle. No chance i'm spending 20 minutes watching that crap, but we live in a society that loves making fun of people like this. Could be good press for the sport!
  9. If Snyder were training at Michigan they'd have him start representing The Netherlands.
  10. Basketball is much more legitimate of a sport than MMA/UFC, but I completely agree on the Connor/Khabib example. Or the Conor fight with Mayweather (one of the greatest successes in his career). Aksren was mediocre at the actual sport of MMA, but he had great success promoting himself. The moment of him getting knocked out by that knee will always be part of the history of the sport. It's the UFC equivalent of the Nike jumpman or Jerry west logo. That is something that most heels can only dream of.
  11. Askren was part of one of the most succesful UFC fights in history. Sure, his job was being on the receiving end of a knee for it, but given that UFC is essentially an extension of WWE at this point, it doesn't really matter whether he won or lost, as long as he got people to watch. and engage.
  12. Edinboro coach if it were the year 2003
  13. It would not be smart because of the muscle loss associated with it.
  14. That's pretty awful if true.
  15. The rules of the 401K have to be the same for all employees.
  16. Your company isn't going to change how run their 401K match based on you trying to negotiate. I don't think you have any clue what you are talking about with this stuff.
  17. That's great. But if you max out your contribution and your company doesn't "true-up" until the end of the year, and then you leave your company, you won't get the matching contribution from them.
  18. I'm not talking about long-term vs short-term. My point is just that not all companies will give the full match if you max the account out early, and many of those that do will wait until the end of the year to "true-up" the contributions. If they wait until the end of the year for their match, it pretty much defeats the purpose of maxing it out early (as opposed to spreading it out and investing extra money in an IRA or brokerage account).
  19. Many match based on contribution/paycheck. I believe most of the ones that allow you to front-load then do the "true-up" contribution at the end of the year. If that is the case, it doesn't necessarily even pay off to front load because you are losing the matching amount for months.
  20. Assuming you have an employer match, you should not increase your contributions and max out early, because most places will not give you the full match if you do. You could try to be tricky and front-load it to some degree (but not enough so that you won't get the full match). Instead, what I am doing is contributing to my IRA faster than I normally would (have been doing this for the past week). I will also begin to invest some extra money into an after-tax brokerage account if the market continues to fall.
  21. "Obama didn't include the public option." Way to rewrite history. They couldn't pass the ACA to include the public option because there weren't 60 senators who supported it. And what Sanders want isn't a public option, it's the elimination of all private health insurance and an UK-style public healthcare system.
  22. I think the tariffs are idiotic. But so pretty much every "idea" that Bernie has ever had on how to "help" the economy.
  23. You have to account for inflation with asset prices. The dow is at 38K now. Inflation from those 2022 numbers brings us to where we are now. That means we have essentially had no growth in real dollars since 2022. Trump has erased three years worth of market gains.
  24. You don't think people have tried socialism before?
