Dying of Boredom...worst Sports Production I have ever seen, free or not. Awful...

On one hand I'm curious to see what the rest of the production looked like, on the other I'm getting bored watching 5 minutes of whatever this bidding is for before the Mendez/Alirez match.

If you can drive to a coast within two hours you live on the coast.  

Thank you for confirming that Baltimore is not the coast (let alone Pittsburgh)

David Taylor definitely threw a wrench into this question.

Here are 2 recent interviews of Bo, in one he does say there’s a decent chance he and Forrest go to the same school and in the other he says where some of his friends go could be a factor in where he goes.  Of course Basch as usual was pushing religion, I did think it was interesting that Bo kinda implied he got more religious after noticing that it seemed to help a lot of the best wrestlers (another sign PSU may be the favorite).  He did kinda light up when talking about David Taylor though.

Overall he seems like a great kid, really well spoken for his age.

Feel free to look at the many beaches in Baltimore here... Baltimore beach is a real place, although not actually on the beach but in Baltimore... But here. you go if you would like to pick a different beach

I lived in Baltimore.   As I said there are some beaches in the area, but "Baltimore Beach" is a volleyball court that isn't even on the water.     From your link: "it’s not actually a real beach at all."

Did you not read that I said Baltimore is in the bay? First, why did you not know this to begin with? Second, why did you keep arguing a point that I already made clear that it's in the bay. Third, why is a bay not consider the coast... lastly, why are you so enamored with my original comment that simply said he was going coast to coast? 

 

The Chesapeake Bay is not on the coast.  For most of it you still need to go through a whole different state to get to the coast.

Coast to coast wasn't accurate but I was fine with the updated comment of "coast to almost coast."

Look up the definition of beach. 

a strip of land covered with sand, pebbles, or small stones at the edge of a body of water, especially by the ocean between high- and low-water marks.

It does say especially by the ocean but not solely the case.

lol that's a volleyball court, it's not even on the water.  There are some "beaches" near Baltimore, but no place on the water called "Baltimore Beach"

Yep - pretty popular spot.  Ummm.... you didn't know Baltimore was in a bay?

As a born and bred east coaster I can confirm that Baltimore qualifies as coast.   

I can't tell if this is sarcasm.   Baltimore is definitely not the coast and I'm pretty sure "Baltimore Beach" isn't even a real place.

The other day I got auto-renewed by them with no warning.  You'd think they would have changed some policies after a class action lawsuit, but still going about their shady ways.  

auto renewals are pretty standard.

but putting “$12.50 per month!!!” in huge letters and then actually charging you $150 all at once isn’t.

"Lee was baffled by that decision, and threw his arms up in a combination of disdain and confusion.

Steveson ultimately won the match in a squash."

I'm sure this is a move @Wrestleknownothing would endorse.  

 

What does “winning in a squash” even mean?

I'm surprised you didn’t comment on how the article said Steveson won the Olympics at the 12 kg weight class.   That seems like it might be too light for the NFL

Maybe, but the structure of these three year deals for undrafted free agents is highly contingent. They get paid a weekly amount during training camp. Then the headline number on the contract only kicks in if they make the 53 man roster. And none of that is guaranteed. They only get the full amount if they are on the roster for the full year.

Yeah that’s what I figured. Seems odd if it’s apparently “standard” to give rookies a “3 year contract” if there’s a pretty good chance they don’t even make the team.   But I guess a lot of NFL contracts have years on them that don’t end up happening 

Did Adam Coon get a 3 year contract when he got signed?

I took the survey. Seemed pretty straightforward. Asking to rate different aspects of the CHA experience.

You went to CHA?

Its been suggested he has 2 years but I don't know for sure.  Personally I wouldn't think he'd rs even if he could unless wanting to avoid Kerk or if DT really wants to build the team for 25/26.  

Did Jimmy hack into your's and Fly's accounts and change your avatars or are you two twins and just discovered the fact? 

Edit: sorry just realized you were probably referring to a suggestion of 2 years as a release from the Air Force

 As a side note - Read that it was Ok State before Smith decided to come back for one more year. However,  I need to find where that was said.

I do like the theory of if he can get Iowa fans to care about Greco then that could help with the overall support for Greco.

Then another Iowa fan suggested some of their other guys try Greco to which of course LJB basically said they would suck without first training in it for awhile

Chirping at some PSU fans, too. Kind of funny.

Wow he even admitted “some things from folk helped his Greco”!

Crap just realized I messed up the joke.  Folk is the “stall fest.”  Although if he wrestles folk maybe he’ll wrestle some freestyle too… (ellipsis added to honor LJB)

On the Iowa board.

 

Are they really letting this guy back in the room?

Is it because of his Daddy? Or, are others who gambles coming back for another season?

 

I assume you’re trolling but weren’t both he and Cassioppi “in the room” all last season?

Sounds like a bunch of verbal promises with no contract. Seems like Rashada is getting educated after all. Hard to believe he had an agent and still wound up in this mess.

Probably.  Although the article says student-athletes “can’t directly be paid to play.”   Didn’t you say that is not technically the case based on an Athletic article?

On 5/13/2024 at 1:53 PM, Wrestleknownothing said:

One more thing from The Athletic article this morning.

Pay to play is allowed. We all need to wrap our heads around that. While the rule originally banned any pay to play arrangements in February of this year a Tennessee federal court issued a temporary injunction on the NCAA, preventing them from enforcing that part of the rule. That injunction applies in every state. Until that injunction is lifted, collectives and individual boosters can use NIL as an inducement for enrollment or transfer.

Talk about burying the lede!
