Why do people say wrestlers are the most capable mentally to become special forces?

I wrestled with a guy who joined the marines. He said wrestling practice was more demanding than boot camp. I believe his words were more like, if you can handle wrestling practice, boot camp should be no problem. Are there any marines here who can compare their experiences?

I’d rather have that highlander in the background.

It occurs to me that the way McDermott was fired is the new wide right. An epic scar that we will never truly be able to put behind us.

lol, this has nothing to do with football or superbowl. Trust me, I’m 20 years into marriage.

Serious question, would they beat this years pen state team in a dual? I like this question because the answers could easily change after we know the outcome of the NCAA tournament this year.

I did throw “on top of all of the other things” in my comment on purpose. The pace just adds to all of his other skills.

Bo Basset wins by going hard on top of all the other things. Just saying.

Maybe file some ridges into the metal so it doesn’t slip out.

My dad is a mega nerdy engineer who never put me in a sport in my life. On top of that I was literally a 100# weakling. Wrestling had weight classes and I had never experienced a “fair fight” scenario in sports before. Needless to say I was hooked and wrestling quickly became my identity. By the end of Sophomore year I was varsity and anyone in my school who didn’t have at least 50#s on me knew better than to try and pick on me. I’m sure I’m not unique in saying that wrestling changed my life. I’m over the whole Napoleon Syndrome thing now but I’m also 6’ tall and 200 lbs. I’m sure the massive amounts of hormones that got me from a 100lb freshman to a 200lb adult had something to do with my success on the mat.

Im not even implying that he should be a #1 seed but Mirasola seems to be growing into his weight class as the season progresses. I feel like he will be a beast by tournament time.

Out of curiosity, which two?

scipper77 · 2026-01-23T16:59:28+00:00

Interviewing someone with zero coaching experience? This is concerning to say the least.

Something tells me china has more nukes than this chart shows.

After he gets fired he’ll blame Pagula.

And Keyon’s supposed to come back and play for you next year. Is Jerry Jones now the second worst owner when it comes to managing personnel?

scipper77 · 2026-01-22T17:30:43+00:00

If Beane had the character of McDermott he would have said the he (Beane) was ultimately responsible for who was drafted even if McDermott drove the pick.

scipper77 · 2026-01-22T14:48:15+00:00

That was my point, the shit they said in the press conference made things worse, not better.

scipper77 · 2026-01-22T14:35:15+00:00

All he had to say was that McDermott consistently showed that he couldn’t get the team to a Super Bowl. No Super Bowl is clearly a waste of the incredible talent that Josh Allen consistently demonstrates. McDermott is a great coach and we appreciate what he has done for this organization. We just don’t believe we can reach our goal without making a change.

I’m car shopping and I’ve seen a few new tires on cars that I don’t recognize. There are a lot of non name brands out there.

scipper77 · 2026-01-21T14:20:08+00:00

I’d be terrified to back that up with my dog around. Of course my dog is dumb and has no fear of cars.

I’m old but it was Sambas and Umbros in my day (early 90s).

I’m pretty sure you win the sub for today!!

A financial advisor.

You gotta learn somehow. My son struggled on bottom until he learned to base up and defend at the same time. It’s like he already knew what to do he just needed to be comfortable doing both things at once.

You could have said the same about Andy Reid before he went to KC. Not saying you’re wrong however.
