Cheers to you, to your sons, and to whatever role the sport of wrestling has contributed to their success!

I think maybe lost in the conversation/debate around holdbacks is the reality that athletes only have a certain capacity of milage and wear & tear physically and mentally. Of course there are outliers and rare freaks, but for most, I've always thought 10 years is about the limit for most...

Ben Askren has a good take on this. Worth googling.

Head scratching why Mirzazadeh didn't put Lopez in par terre after the passivity. Not saying it would be easy to turn him, but you weren't going to take him down either...

I wonder how long the NCAA will remain the relevant governing body of both revenue sports non-revenue sports (or Olympic sports if you like). Lumping wrestling ( or gymnastics, or swimming, or softball, or lax, etc.) with Football and Basketball hardly makes sense - especially in the NIL...
