he doesn't honor his bets

john smith is my favorite because he's the only coach who doesn't seem to take any responsibility for his athletes bad performances. That sounds like an insult but I really just mean that its hilarious how grossed out he seems sometimes. example is I remember him doing a rundown and saying something like "165 terrible performance, 174...no performance at all" I'm sure he does take appropriate responsibility by the way, anyway if cael spoke as frankly it would be amazing.

thats meme quality

kind of a tangent, a friend of mine who was a d3 champ once said to me that he never listened to his corner at all, to which i asked why, and he said "Because I was listening to the other guys corner."

where are you on this topic in actuality?

yeah we're in agreement that the rules are insufficient

nothing to do with what i'm talking about.

i'd say thats a distinction without a difference. there are always going to be hard calls for refs, botched escape calls are now less important.

in conjunction with these points, the impulse to construct a narrative around everything is stupid and gross....but clicks

does he turn him with two legs in? I've wantched that match a dozen times and don't remember that part. Lewis and gibbons are friends fwiw

yeah but no one likes it when refs make bad calls.

poorly motivated topic...

its never called ever

I'd say a takedown is worth more than a reversal because TDs to some extent are initated by the scorer every time. IMHO reversals are predicated on the top guy making a mistake, because he could always just let the bottom guy go. My take on Carr/Ramirez is that after he got the TD ramirez went into a very aggressive crab ride (i'm not claiming he wanted to it was more of a situational imperative), and got reversed. I don't think he should be punished for that aggression to a degree to which it negates the TD he earned.

This drives me nuts, and I've mentioned it to ncaa refs we'd all recognize and they look at me like a cow looks at an oncoming train. You're deep on a leg attack, I grab a foot and start twisting it against the knee for no reason, the ref just stops it. why is this not a penalty point?

i never thought he looked big but you get the idea that he needs a change. He came out getting david taylor comparisons and just doesn't seem to have closed any ground with the tough guys at that weight since.

no once he lost. maybe he just couldn't handle it. He'll mature a little and be fine.

I think he was just overwhelmed. the kid had ridiculous expectation thrust on him by people farming clicks.

what if he had said, he's not a good in the room coach?

yonger is winning this

he also fanboys the favorite in whatever match he is announcing.

thats a rather large qualifier to lead with.

most bizarre yet appropriate metaphor ever

its sort of funny how hidlays fire hydrant body prevents his singlet from fitting.
