i know a lot of scumbag UN diplomats

Because there’s never been a bad person in the UN. Smfh they’re all crooks

Haven't heard much based on what's already being reported. I do know what would help the recovery process tho..... .....A Marcus Blaze commitment

Words of someone that believes women should cover their faces and never have rights. Why am I not shocked that you’d approve of him?

Yes. This happened to me around 91? About 1.5 minutes left in the 5 minute period. I had a decent lead (3-0 on three one pointers?) on a very good guy on the "national team," whom was also a D1 placer. He got a tight hold on me and i "slipped." This is where things went very very bad for me. The match did not end up going the distance... and I did not win. The first 3.5 minutes were probably the best I ever wrestled in my life however.

i said on a podcast that i hated the call. that i thought it was inadvertent and meaningless. and that i hate seeing matches decided on technicalities w/ short time. Brook's father watched it and text me that Aaron said Zahid had previously been warned in the match. which, to me, changes everything.

It backfired.

11 men, 1 woman - that's 12. When Snyder won the spot at Trials, he did it before Helen, so I announced he was the 11th. Helen became the first woman, so I said she was the first woman, which is more significant than being the 12th American. Not sure if they're referencing my announcement or Cody Goodwin's story where he wrote about it for USAW. Anyway, here's the answer Bruce Baumgartner (4) Mark Fuller (4) Ben Peterson Bill Kerslake Dan Chandler Dennis Hall Dick Wilson Kenny Monday Tommy Evans Wayne Baughman Kyle Snyder Helen Maroulis

Blocking is easy. no reason to report.

anybody who's done this is a coward. it's an internet forum. if you don't want to see things you disagree with, don't log on.

if only hamas would allow it

But he isn't...

Haha I’m convinced that’s pretty much all Minnow does. I’m sure he’s got a couple sources but I think he just scours various message boards and forms of social media for nuggets that haven’t been widespread yet

It's true, haven't been able to hit the dock as much the last few months, but the tides they are changing...

Women’s rights. They don’t have them anymore with all your trans buddies taking them. I’m 100% ok with abortions for trans women.

I agree that he adds entertainment, but he’s more like the Pat Downey

true b/c the invisible Allah told him to

The average age of a citizen in Gaza is 19. They did not elect Hamas in the only election that was held in 2006

You want to re-litigate the first sentence of a 14 month old post while ignoring the second sentence? Now that is some girly girl stuff.

Well, to be fair, he actually has been working directly in human, including women's, rights for a long time and is a representative to the UN on the matter.... You must have assumed based on his name.

Sleuth

morality lessens from fundamentalists to the freest nation in the globe. wonderful.

He’s the Caitlin Clark of wrestling forums. We need Jimmy, realized that during his last hiatus.

Roselli seems to be the rumor. Looks like they haven’t had an Associate HC. No intel but my guess is Wentzel is leaving. Found a recruiting visit post from 2 weeks ago and he was the only of last year’s coaches that wasn’t tagged

Sometime in the 90s there was still a slip throw but you were not brought back to your feet. The other wrestler gets a shot at a turn with no takedown scored. Thought that was good.

In Judo you don't get penalize for a missed throw. Your opponent has to stop your momentum and then force you to the mat (to your back to score). After a missed throw, the action isn't stop and so the punishment is you have to defend on the mat, this should be adopted in GR. There is a time limit within you have to attempt an attack or you get penalize for passivity. So if you pretend to throw and immediately bail out you can get a penalty for a false attack. Mindsets about what actions deserve points can be very different across very similar sports. I was explaining slipped throws in GR to a non-wrestling Judo friend and he just could not understand how all wrestling does not have that rule. Getting points for your opponents making a bad move and you doing nothing did not make sense to him. What clearly should be worthy of scoring point to someone used to one system does not make sense at all if you are used to different rules.

Just so we're clear, Greco doesn't HAVE to be boring...it is a stylistic choice that wrestlers make. I know it doesn't HAVE to be boring because I do everything that I can to make sure I watch every match that Jesse Porter and Kamal Bey wrestle. Those dudes are must watch entertainment whether they win or lose EVERY time. So...again...doesn't have to be boring, because those two are the most exciting wrestlers in ALL of USA wrestling, more than anybody in freestyle.

Bruno Sammartino

Olympics: have all 10 weights for MFS and WFS and drop greco. That's how I feel about GR.

Carter Starocci, possibly?

Make it PSU vs USA match in mid December. PSU starter vs then current highest ranked non PSU. Folkstyle. Matches count on the season record. Fire.

Exactly. Also taking bad shots forces the offensive wrestler to chain wrestle out of the situation and find another scoring opportunity, which leads to more excitement. If slip throws was an effective rule, Judo would have adopted it in a second.

Top tier guys more and more are not willing to "risk injury" As stated....pay them.... but who pays them to show up? They have had some good progress in some areas @nhs67 mentions The best storylines involve guys outside of the NCAA (Ferrari, PD3, Burroughs, etc.) which is hard to navigate given my first two points. At the end of the day, I want to be the ring announcer.

Not only was that an epic singlet pull that didn't elicit a point but it came at a critical point in the match and could have cost JB the match. That pull allowed Tsargush to score the go ahead point that gave him criteria to win the 1st period (back in the best 2 out of 3 period times - good riddance to that). Obviously JBs corner protested but the gave the point to Tsargush anyway plus the lost challenge point. Since then I have seen them take away scores due to singlet pulls - this one was so egregious that it is hard to believe the point wasn't overturned. Fortunately JB won the next two periods and the match.

WNBA has a players' association and collectively bargains with the league. If the league is able to retain even a fraction of the viewership that Clark and other women generated this year, the players will finally have a leg to stand on in those negotiations when they go back to the table in 2025 or 2026. I'm not a huge fan of the game but it's awesome to witness a transformational movement in real time. Hopefully they can capitalize on the momentum, the business booms, and the women get paid.

Hopefully he makes a full recovery. He has repeatedly had to deal with tragedy and challenging circumstances throughout his life (of course his own family, but also paddock and recently sasso) and still has such a positive/uplifting perspective on life. He’s a great voice and leader in the sport. An update: https://x.com/nickcorey167/status/1783170329218560381

I agree with this. In my very mediocre Greco career, I did get after it pretty good and actually legitimately slipped on many throws. However, there were times when a guy got a deep underhook (or two) and I "slipped" to save myself from a bad situation.

Aside from your hate post, it’s a decent thread, so far. Jimmy makes the forum more interesting and entertaining.

Anytime I listen to an interview with Tom I always walk away thinking to myself how fortunate his wrestlers are to have him as their leader. Thankfully it is not life threatening and that’s good news. It’s also nice to see all the words of support he’s getting from the wrestling community including in this forum. Get well soon Tom Ryan!

Tom Ryan is a great coach and a class act. I hope he makes a full recovery and continues to do great things with our sport.

Ohio State is cursed.. People have issues with Tom Ryan, but you don't.. Tom Ryan is a whiner.. Jimmy would you do everyone a favor a STFU. Thanks

Does anyone want to be at Columbia right now?

Whaaaat?!?! Two Cinnabons? They are multiplying!

From working in media for the past 30+ years, I can tell you the three most popular sports in the Olympics are swimming, gymnastics and track and field - nothing else is even close, not USA basketball or whatever your personal preference. But, understand even these sports are under roster pressure. The US swimming roster is capped this year at 26 men and 26 women. In the pool, there are 14 individual events for men and women, three relays for men and women and one mixed relay. In addition, there is a 10K open water race for both men and women. While the US can enter up to two swimmers per race, only the trials winner in each race automatically qualifies in each race, and runners up are reliant on super swimmers like Michael Phelps to win multiple events at trials so that they can go to the games. (Of note, my son has swam against one of the favorites in the 200 back this summer in MD; he is one those racers who, if he doesn't win the trials, will need to help to get to the games as he doesn't have a realistic chance to make the games in another race.) So, while the IOC wants more swimming events, they don't want any more athletes at the games - even for the most popular sports. I do believe you will see the IOC/World Aquatics add the 50 Breast, Fly and Back as well as additional relays (200 Free, 800 Medley, more mixed gender races) for future games. But, I won't be surprised if they continue to further limit the number of swimmers even the US can bring.

I don’t get how we can’t get a full 10 weights, they’re already doing the event, paying for venue, promotion(?), mats, referees, TV/streaming, etc. the cost of adding weights is much less than the cost of adding a new sport or whatever’s

Hopefully the half hour discussion isn't "no" followed by 29 minutes 59 seconds of awkward silence
