I nominate THEosu for consideration.

Is anyone busy playing football at Iowa?

Thanks to all who participated and contributed in this thread. Nerdy, a bit cultish, and hints of "number of angels on a pinhead" type discussion to anyone outside of this community. And completely enjoyable.

No raging, no fraud. Calm fact. Journalism in America no longer exists as the art and science of professional journalism was known in days gone by. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/09/16/campaigns-to-report-preferred-climate-message-billions-of-dollars-behind-them/ This is about climate only. The same exists for all the other narrative topics from illegal aliens to anti-Americanism to castrating minors to racial issues to elective politics, etc. etc. Let the spluttering ad hominen attacks begin in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

Your Mom doesn't think so.

Christine Blasey Ford is suddenly remembering that one time, at band camp, Russell Brands tried to kiss her. She does not know the date, location, name, instrument she or Brands were there to play, nor anything else about the band camp but Brands definitely was puckering up in an assaulty manner. What threat? The dude simply states opinions different from theirs. He has no authority to do anything to them in any way other than to make fun of them.

I repeat my earlier statement and agree with myself (hat-tip to ___): Caveat Lector. I agree with "the journalists are not the problem" when we define that the NYT, WaPo. etc. etc. no longer employ any. Journalists in the traditional sense no longer exist at those outlets or are cowering in silence until they get their retirement packages. The "newsrooms" of the mainstream leftist media (shown to vote 92%+ with/for the democrats) are just as interested in forming and influencing thoughts and actions rather than reporting facts as those click bait sites. At least the click baiters, like the National Enquirer, know and acknowledge who and what they are. The "make a difference" little leftie "news" bunnies are unable to write anything outside of their preconceived narrative regardless of facts. Yes, it exists across parties. That is not the point. Stop getting news on the internet OR from MSM news bunnies is a more fair, accurate, and balanced admonition. But then where does one get news. Maybe better to get information from a broad spectrum of sources, apply logic and reasoning to what you learn while considering the biases of those sources, and then make decisions useful to conduct your life.

The Ls and Gs are starting to get upset because the Ts are getting to the kids first. The Ts are Ting the potential Ls and Gs way younger than any rational human ever thought it appropriate to address issues of sexuality and genderality; which was not even a separate concept unless talking about nouns until very very recently. Yeah, it is kind of made up. Everyone knew Benny Hill, the Monty Python troupe, Dustin Hoffman, and Robin Williams were pretending to be women in dresses. Jenner is pretending also. Lola, Dude who looks like a Lady, and Lou Reed's Holly in Walk on the Wild side were remarkable because they were pretending and not normal. The Bs don't seem to be in the conversation much. The Ss, Qs, other brother Qs, Is, Ps (Bs on steroids?), As, other As, and +s are all still a mystery to everyone but themselves.

Invoking his Mom in a post!! Buddy banter gold there. The first dude to drop an F-bomb loses so here we have Hillbilly by pinfall!

Just like all those nurses agreed to take a medical experiment shot and all those Canadians were not forced to do it. Just ask Justin Castro. "Agreed" under duress is not agreeing. It is capitulating. Pete should be in the Hall of Fame. Write all about his failures as a man on his plaque or in a special section of the Hall if you want but his accomplishments should not be denied. It is revisionist history and it is horrible.

The Stazi had rules. They were crap too. Jaywalking is a crime. Does the NCAA make them sign a morality clause which can get them banned for that also? This is as outrageous as the Ohio State football "scandal" several years ago when young men traded their own property (college bowl game swag) for goods and services (tattoos, etc) they preferred to have. That was crap also.

Illegit sites such as NYT, WaPo, PBS, old traditional broadcast networks, Pravda, CCP government news, etc. Such also exist on the other end of the social spectrum. "Consider the source" is a term I heard decades ago. I thought it applied only to specifically titled opinion and editorial articles. Now it must be applied to the title of the publication/broadcast and applied to any information, article, even sometimes the advertisements which come later. Sadly, journalists have given up journalism. Caveat Lector. Reader beware.

Is there bias in the news media? Yes. Nuff said.

No, dude (I use the term loosely), I hit it out of the park. Grand Slam (in baseball vernacular wherein that is good rather than a disqualifying penalty within a wrestling context). I understood your pernt (really stupid NYC term there) perfectly and expertly turned it back on you. With elan and humor thrown in. So man up and realize that we are all on these boards for fun. We are here because of our mutual love of wrestling and we like to talk about it with like minded numb skulls with messed up ears. In the off season other topics come up which add to the fun. But the whole point is . . . FUN. This is the online version of dugout or locker room banter wherein guys are engaged in a constant back and forth of jokes, jibes, valid points, and trying to get under each others' skin in witty ways - because they like each other! By the way, first one to say WOWZA loses. You have to carry my gear to and from the wrestling room for a week.

Every time I think you have exhausted all the possibilities you shock and amaze me by plumbing further depths of stupidity and ignorance so I am going with - Most assuredly. Final answer.

Can it go to the non-wrestling topics forum? It is now about elections, honor, integrity, gambling, public opinion, and other issues. And, most egregious of all, the word Basketball (albeit with a modifier) is constantly at the top of our college WRESTLING forum.

Right. That is the point and thank you for making it. Despite Churella beating Hendricks in all phases of that championship match including pinning him the score thing did not reflect the facts. Hendricks was the lesser of Churella's opponents that day.

For Michigan my first thought was Johny Hendricks. Ryan Churella beat him in all phases of that championship match. Every call piled up against Churella. But the hated rival is really this referee. This was the 4th or 5th wrong, not even close call in that match. Video review came about due to this debacle.

Whoa! Brilliant. Not indictable due to not being competent to stand trial!! 4 dimensional chess being played there. Almost as forward thinking as Colonel Flagg's strategies:

Who needs oil?!? Windmills and solar dreamcatchers will make up the strategic energy reserve now. Wind and sunlight are FREE!!! Think how secure we will be!!! P.S. Your rising electricity bills have NOTHING to do with the increased dependence on free wind and sunlight and dreams. Your rising natural gas and artificially high gasoline prices have NOTHING to do with energy policies of the current energy department and federal administration. NOTHING. Just use your Tinker Bell Energy Dream Wand and close your eyes and wish really really hard . . . and the earth will be cooler (or at least less climate changie), safer, more securer, sustainabler, and just better.

Election denier. Indictable comment. Fani, Fani, where art thou?

Last 5 words. Thread done.

Are those Iowan tyrants compelling anyone to carry a firearm? Despicably authoritarian if so. Are those Iowan tyrants using their administrative state powers to regulate that only one type of stove is allowed (not gas)? Toilet flush volume? Lighting technology? Car propulsion type? Compel involuntary participation in a mass medical experiment? How can you put up with such arbitrary authority being exercised over you? However, if those Iowan tyrants are merely ensuring that Iowan-Americans are free to exercise their rights as acknowledged by the Constitution then I can recommend to you a Governor more to your liking. She is just down the road a bit in New Mexico. Her non-authoritarian ban is probably much more aligned with your understanding of the word authoritarian.

Choops is the worse basketball!! AARRGGGHHHH.
