Swimming is ridiculous. And body shaming is awful. Their is being doughy and soft and there is simply being thick and big bones. Disirregardless, a lot of kids have an insanely high BMI that are not fit not active enough. I'm sorry he went through that. Gymnastics and swimming/diving body shaming are horrible. Oh, and I didn't have to fight to make weight or avoid foods etc. no one ever pressured me. Anything. It was on me. Only a few times did have a problem with weighing in that I had to go to extremes. Once I was allowed to skip a day of school by the teachers/staff to run in bags on the treadmill. But my diet would naturally change. My body is torn to shreds from 30 years of abuse. I'd not trade any of it despite being 43 with moderate to severe arthritis in both knees, arthritis in my hands, 2 ruptured discs, a few bulging thoracic discs, foot drop/weakness, and to be diagnosed via MRI hip issues. I still do everything I've always done. I'm dumb.

Not my experience at all, whatsoever.

I went 208-212 during football to 189 for wrestling to 180 for outdoor track. By the end of wrestling season id be sub 5% and couldn't put weight on. When I would stop running I'd lift and pack on 20 lbs. in 7-8 weeks. Maybe 15 of that lean mass.

For 6 minutes you're on your own. For 6 minutes you can't rely on anyone else but yourself. For each 2 minute period you have to be able to balance every ounce of strength you have with every ounce of patience you have. You must learn to master both anticipation and chaos. You learn the value of 3 seconds or just one misstep. No sport teaches more than wrestling.

Had me until bodybuilding. Thos cream puffs would pop with a needle ... Which is not literally true because so many of them do the needle. I get the discipline of bodybuilding but it's different than weightlifting, Olympics or power. In 6 months anyone who is in regular gym shape can get on a podium with diet and discipline following their routine. The body builders are also so generally unhealthy and the lowest of IQs of all gym rats. Even the bro lifters have more common sense. Body builders build until break their hand punching a wall drinking four loco and Red Bull listening to Disturbed while trying to figure out why women think they are friends with Dorothy. In power it is about performing the 5-6 standard power lifts: DL, BS, Bench, squat, lat pulldowns, shoulder to overhead (because let's be honest: few people actually do it right to call it shoulder press). That's powerliftings base. Few train hard enough at incline bench, fewer use a landmine, even fewer still are brave enough to front squat. Powerlifters lift until their back goes out because they never work their core. Oly lifters are meticulous weirdos who spend 2 hours a day to do 6 attempts at a ***** weight that they've improved 2kg on in last year. They have their lifters, their belts, their tripod, their online coach who watches their videos, member of some barbell club. Olympic lifters lift until they find yoga, men/women/family, pilates, and more. Oly is my favorite but worst lifting. I'm a bro lifter who should have went strongman but found CrossFit and hate it but also runs and more but too old to do anything literally a broken down body but trying to get into hyrox.

The jerk? I was born a poor black child!

Clean and jerk is an Olympic weight lift. Not a wrestling maneuver. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Disirregardless, a simple autocorrect sure confused plenty of folks. Maybe this is as bad as someone mistaking a hibernaculum and a gubernaculum.

Every kid should wrestle at least two years.

There is also legal battles happening with NIL in High School, as many stars allow it. The ramifications that high schools become professional paid athletes will change the entrance path for college athletes. If you have a family, children, love, good ethics and values you are no worse off than any man.

This may be the biggest upset in NCAA wrestling history. One of the top of all NCAA sports or American sports in general. Not even close to joking. Gable Stevenson is a bonafide top 10 wrestler of all time. He just won a gold medal. He was at his peak. He got beat by a lesser man. This and Dan Gables loss Larry Owing...HUGE.

Just lost in the NCAA finals, 2nd place.

Echoing of this. It's great to hit on day three when they maximize their return for a day 3 pick and can start. That's a great thing, the ceiling being that high. But when you get the same maximized ceiling on a day 1 pick you get an all-pro to a perineal all pro. That's why you need to hit on day 1 and maximize them like you do the later rounds.

History is foggy for too many to say that because Cook is the feature back Johnson can't be Fred Jackson. Jackson had Lynch ahead of him 3 seasons; in 2007 Jackson played in 8 games. After Jackson left Spiller came in as the primary hyped back. By his final year the Bills brought in Bryce Brown to try to unseat him. Time after time the roster had a back more highly rated than him to be above him. Jackson for 1k yards when Lynch didn't even break 500. For some reason everyone remembers Lynch as a better back. I don't. 13 years (11 of them worthy) Lynch did beat Jackson's stats. For the 6 years of Jackson in his prime he was as good as Lynch.

Not ready to let him walk because he ran his mouth but not going to pay him what he is asking. It's counter intuitive, in my humblest of humble opinions, to talk openly about money and want to be a part of a team. However, I'm not in the NFL (yet... There's hope)... And I'm not looking to negotiate a million dollar deal (yet... There's hope). Either way, offer him the right contract, make him well paid, avoid void years, make it trade friendly on the back end.

Woah rip

Some could say the same about a few of those dudes, like Poona Ford, who was entirely cast the wrong way in our defense and never should have even been brought in if we can't and don't know how to use him.

There are exactly 6 topics that are permitted to get a topic off course: 1) pickle juice in Italian cuisine 2) 3.5 3) parking your 350z and filing a police report because you lost it 4) firefighters being arsonists 5) gugny 6) male nursing

Was he ever a firefighter, electrician, or EMT?

Even then, no one truly appreciates how amazing moulds for. 5 yards and 1 TD from the 10k 50TD. He was as good as any other in the league.

That's why these guys were let go. No other gms let Beane know. That's amazing.

as i mentioned a few times from what i take from what i was given the Bills made offers to pretty much every pending FA on good faith that they can sign it then, test the market, and have some time to consider it. i'm sure there was a deadline to sign it - for obvious reasons this is essentially required. it makes me curious to what exactly was offered to Douglas, Cook, Morris, Cooper. I'd assume it was not "fair market value" in the literal sense and hope and presume it was more "value to this team, adjusted," of course. By that I mean, the value against fair market to where this team is going and what it wants to accomplish based on who that player is and what they have done for the team and process.

At least the team knows them all. Wonder what the final offer was to Douglas at this point. There was an offer. If I'm Douglas I wait until camps begin and an injury pops up.

Gilmore would be fantastic.

comp picks!
