dont forget how much weight he's cutting....guys like musakeav have a weird habit of being in better shape at the olympics. Zains shape advantage might be more along the lines of recovery between matches than gassing guys out.

I don't know a lot about that conflict, but I assume it wasn't a pitched war. If I'm correct, I'd answer @uncle bernard by saying there are profound differences between a conflict involving two warring nations, with antithetical values and histories, one of whom is bent on exacerbating civilian causalities on both sides, and the opposite.

Starocci also made a pretty snarky and disrespectful tweet when Taylor left. I know he's a weird dude, but that's not something you do if you look up to the dude. I think these are all good dudes, but they are in a room with people who want the same thing and are uber competitive, not the type of competitive that annoying girls brag about so they can be a jerk while losing at beer pong, the competitive that drags pretty much everyone into fixation and pettiness. That's why I always push back on the NLWC fun dodgeball love filled mentorship haven idea...these elite clubs aren't entirely wholesome places. Though I should point out if looks like lee is in turkey with retherford, and Dake went out of his way to mention nolf was supoprtive when his dad died so I'm not claiming its all bad by any means.

i'm not sure he ever qualified

He gives a few bad impressions. One being that he is riding a wave of positive emotion based on the making the Olympic team, but is repackaging it into a sort of humble brag based on his faith. I don't think this is a conscious decision, but it shows a certain lack of self awareness. Also, and for well motivated reasons, he's trying to traffic on intellectual grounds that are very simple within a person and very hard to convey to other people, and he's currently terrible at it, that video is pretty incoherent. But really he's just a little immature and aside from thinking that my opinion is obviously very high of him. I've known plenty of high profile people like him who parleyed that into being sociopathic exploitative monsters, this is definitely a lot better than that.

he's worse than pyles...

That strategy won't work on an ideologically possessed population which is bent on using its whole economy to orchestrate a genocide.

Its gotta be business. Me and other people are complaining about the padded nature of pyles videos, but i assume the algorithm demands them be that long... Plus who can resist "SPENCER LEE'S WHOLE MATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" for the 27th time.

You don't support hamas you just have the bizarre idea that we should leave then in power and give them things till they become nice. The IRA comparison doesn't hold water because the combatants in this conflict are openly genocidal according to you (one is according to me). And what was the ratio of combatant to civilian causalities in that conflict? Was the IRA using its own children as shields?

I ask this playfully, but @nhs67 remember our little spat over what would happen if Brooks won?

in the interview he said he was struggling in school so he was taking medication while doing his homework abroad.

you're just a liar, or so insecure that you ignore half of what i've written.

i've repeatedly restarted the discourse with honest questions, at which point you get frustrated and start playing word games or calling me names. You're welcome to give it a try.

LOL bring in the UN! that'll fix everything! Hows the UN gonna make Hamas start being nice? Bring your mother to teach life lessons?

well you said 12 times recently that israel had a peace deal that was a moral necessity to take, which entailed leaving hamas in charge.

what is supporting them if not saying israel should pull out and leave them in control....

you have to read my posts if you're going to respond to them

you having the mentality of a child explains a lot.

You're just hurling insults now, not a good look.

yeah, to be fair to the rest of us unfunny people, that style doesn't work unless people are hanging on your every word, but its still a very elevated brand of humor.

he's not as good with the understated humor as cael, at the presser he told a story about wrestling his wife at tulsa and pinning her, but he didn't sell the punchline in any way so it didn't really work.

Why didn't Brooks ask the lord to help him with his homework?

no idea what you're going for now

If this happens i'll consider selling my soul to bring Christopher Hitchens back from the dead to hear the commentary.
