If a wrestler needs “reaction time”, that implies the offensive action created a scoring position. Waiting to see if the defender can react before awarding points prioritizes the defense rather than rewarding the offense. Reward offensive success rather than reactive scrambling.
“If you cant defend a takedown or get up off your back, maybe you’re not a BMF and you should change the rules.”
The fact they never changed the rules is exactly what makes it bad ass. It’s not against the rules to shoot and it shouldn’t be. But the guys that fight for the BMF belt are known to throw caution and stalling to the wind and bang it out. Unspoken code. Charles came in and exploited that and that’s totally fair game. But not liking his performance isn’t being a hater or a “casual.” Lmfao. #UFC326
I can’t be reading this right.
This has to be some knock-off Hall of Fame or something, it can’t be the actual NFL Hall of Fame.
There is not a single world whatsoever in which Bill Belichick should not be a First-Ballot Hall of Famer.
That was one of the most "American" matches I have seen in a long time. I just had the feeling if he doesn't get tech'ed here on this challenge, he's going to win. Is that crazy to say or what? 🤣 If that doesn't get you wanting to run around and yell "USA, USA, USA", I don't know what will. Trent with the match of the year!
The assassination of Charlie Kirk is bringing out some of the best in humanity and it’s also exposing some of the worst. The unification, love, support, and outcry on his behalf throughout the world is heartwarming. The number of people supporting Tyler Robinson’s appalling behavior has opened my eyes to a side of extremism with a moral superiority complex that has also shaken my belief in people in general. I hope they are held accountable for their disgusting rhetoric.
Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.
One of the BIGGEST issues I see with young, slow athletes
They rush the hell out of acceleration
Stand straight up, get tall way too fast
Never a chance to get into quality top speed plus their acceleration ability sucks
My fav cue? Imagine a plane taking off on a runway!
Brittney Griner appeared to call Caitlin Clark “trash” and a “f***ing white girl” after fouling out last night.
Just a reminder: this is who we traded for the Russian Merchant of Death.
Now imagine if Clark had said the inverse.
Jayson Tatum is one of the most consistent and selfless superstars in all of team sports.
He’s an incredible scorer, but he does so many things that go largely unnoticed in the box score, just to impact winning.
In a league where stars are uncertain to play on any given night, he’s been as available as any of them.
He’s a great teammate and ambassador for the NBA.
This one truly sucks to see.
Last night Team Canada learned FAFO:
1–They booed our anthem
2–So we get into 3 fights in the first 9sec
3–We then net 3 unanswered goals
4–We blast Free Bird after each goal
5–And we blow them out in their OWN STADIUM
6–AMERICA IS BACK
Congratulations @usahockey on a huge win!
One of the most meaningful wins in U.S. hockey history:
▪️Our national anthem was disrespected—twice.
▪️Their fans trashed our country all week.
▪️We walked into their biggest hockey market and beat their national team on their ice.
USA showed up tonight 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
