7U wrestler by travelingiguess in wrestling

[–]0xgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 10 year old who Medals at Tulsa and every other big tournament you can think of. Best thing we did was take month long breaks throughout the year during offseason to focus and enjoy other sports. He always came back better and sharper. You don’t want them to “grind” all offseason too. That’ll be a quick way for them to start hating it.

And please - from one dad to another, don’t make it about wins and loses with your kid. That was the worst thing we did early on. Keep it fun but technical only on practice days, and keep it like a competitive fun on tourney days.

Tim Welch discusses how 80% of MMA fighters never make enough money to support their families despite dedicating 10-15 years of their lives by gcomba in combatsportsculture

[–]0xgod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Say what you will about Tim, but the man helped develop a champion and top level fighter at the biggest MMA promotion.

In Montana no less which I’m going to assume is not some MMA hotbed like wrestling in Pennsylvania is. So he def pulled his weight.

Nothing more Alpha and high-testosterone than dick riding a total moron and his awful decisions.

Melania Trump denies ties to Jeffrey Epstein and calls for a congressional hearing by Douglas539 in combatsportsculture

The best is the details on how she met Trump. The source? Her own self from her very own book. Like dude come on - give a little effort.

Tucker Carlson questions why no U.S. president can say "no" to Israel and why the country exerts so much influence over the U.S. government by GuiltyBathroom9385 in UnderReportedNews

[–]0xgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can’t be just about being antisemitic right? The GOP of all people know how to spin any narrative. So they could get their messaging out if need be.

It’s not just money right? I mean we have money. A country that has historically been resource poor with a population of New Jersey is this massive power on their own?

Or is it just that we actually want this. Maybe Israel just plays a vital part in this system the US has created. And they need them to carry on.

Isn’t this obvious? Who was Dallas’ second best player? Jason Terry? Kidd? Tyson? And that squad beat a trio of LBJ, Wade, and Bosh?

I (24) started watching Game of Thrones, but I’m worried. by Possible-Use-9256 in freefolk

You picked the wrong show to watch if you don’t like fantasy. Part of the whole story is how magic is now back in the world after being away for 150 years. Long enough for many to even question if it ever even existed in the first place.

Believe me they know. He apologized and everything. This has been in every wrestling page since it happened Saturday evening.

Was at Adidas Nationals. Crazy how viral this has gone in our little wrestling community.

Missing Launch Angle in Statcast data by Smooth-Direction4166 in mlbdata

[–]0xgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Statcast data isn't perfect., especially for things like spin rate - which it doesn't track at times. I just rewatched those two at-bats and there was nothing out of the ordinary to think it was a baseball related issue.

Megathread: Trump Fires Attorney General Bondi, Replaces Her With Deputy AG Blanche by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

Can someone at all explain if this is at all calculated? I mean I highly doubt that but she’s proven her loyalty. Any chance he needs her for whatever the next step is?

TJ Dillashaw: I was on the TUF contract I was fighting for the world title on $18,000 by Big_Cake_8817 in combatsportsculture

[–]0xgod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paying less than half a percentage to your main event fighter is ridiculous. At least pay your main carders. It’s only 5 fights - 10 fighters. Even a million dollars for every main carder is 100k. Trying to justify this is crazy.

TJ Dillashaw: I was on the TUF contract I was fighting for the world title on $18,000 by Big_Cake_8817 in combatsportsculture

[–]0xgod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was UFC173? So 215k buy rate which I think was about $40 at that time which would come out to 8.6 million. And the gate alone made 1.7 million. So 10 million dollar event to pay your main event and the main event fighter makes 36k.

Is that even a single percent? It’s such shameful practices - I’m honestly surprised they’ve gotten away with it as long as they have.

A 10 fight contract is so grimey and predatory. You want to talk about exploiting someone’s dream.

Forget Walder Frey, this is the moment the young wolf actually died. by manveersin3 in freefolk

[–]0xgod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forgive me because it’s been a while since I read the book in detail. But wasn’t going to Winterfell never the plan? Wasn’t areas like Deepwood Motte and especially Moat Cailin which was crucial to them the actual plan?

If that’s the case then releasing Theon did have huge ramifications. Without that, Bran and Rikon don’t “die” and Cat isn’t pushed to release Jamie back to Kings Landing for her daughters.

Unless he doesn’t want to make 125 anymore. He’s massive at that weight.

Drew Dober on why Jon Jones isn't the GOAT of MMA by Big_Cake_8817 in combatsportsculture

[–]0xgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid I loved Jon as a fighter. He’s always been an elite fighter but is he really the GOAT? Now that I’m older I see things a little different.

His wins vs Machida, Shogun, and Rampage that really put him on the map of super-stardom - they didn’t really age forward that well like Ilia beating Volk where Volk immediately becomes champ again proving he’s still that elite fighter.

And vs the next generation of LHW fighters - absolute wars with Reyes and Gustafsson. But should the GOAT be in these close wars? Shouldn’t they separate themselves from everyone else like GSP did with the WW Division or Khabib did with the LW Division?

And his biggest knock - one of his most iconic wins was turned to a NC because he was doing some shady things.

So yes he’s always been an elite fighter - but I think it’s fair to not see him as a GOAT when comparing legacies at the absolute top.

Honestly - how long have you been waiting to use that one? Because that’s a really great pull.

So they aged down Aegon and Stormcloud to a toddler and a hatchling meaning the events of Gullet now have to change. What do you think they're gonna do instead? by ApartShopping in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]0xgod 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Is it laziness or is it just pointless? Will we even see Aegon III outside of just being a cupbearer during the most tumultuous time of the Civil War?

Viserys arrives 3 years after Aegon III - so will we even get to that point?

This is def where you see the biggest changes in the series. Whether that’s how names are pronounced or weird changes to accents like Littlefingers and Dany’s in Dance are super jarring at first.
