A little more info on what the field is looking like for DeLuca at 57kgs:

U20 Nationals gives us a very recent example on what we could see this weekend. WTT are basically a condensed version with the best guys competing again(plus a few additions)for a spot on the team. 57kgs was a gauntlet then, and will be again.

Lilledahl came out on top at Nats, so he sits in the best of 3 finals. He earned himself a huge advantage here as the mini tourny is going to be a war, with highly ranked matches from 1st whistle.

Top competition -

Forrest - not best performance at Nats, but everyone knows he's one of the best there is
Knox - 3rd at Nats, top pfp
Mendoza - 4th at Nats, took out Forrest and Desmond in convincing fashion
Kilkeary - looked really, really good at Nats. Took 2nd with wins over Mendoza and Knox
Castillo - world medalist
Seidel, Desmond, and Cortez are all highly ranked and in the mix as well

Not sure how DeLuca will fare here. He's good enough to go with anyone on that list. Talent level is so high at this weight that I can't pick any one person to make the finals. I guess I will say 4th for Leo, and hope that I am very wrong. I lean Forrest to make finals, if only because when he is at his peak performance, very few can compete.

I have Lilledahl ultimately winning the spot. Partially because he's damn good, and partially because he doesn't have to string together 3-4 high quality wins to do it.

Was covering up he banged a porn star. I mean who among us wouldn't if given the chance? Well maybe not Huey but if getting a blow job made Billy C more relatable, what's an afternoon delight with Stormy, a midget and a goat do?

This is Trump's problem he doesn't know when to take the win!

FTR, I'm glad he didn't weasel out of this. I'm here for the show.

Can't wait for this catch and kill trial

Yep that's it that's the question

I finally got around to watching this series, and I have thoughts.
Apparently they could use the Prime Directive. Always jumping into other worlds, guns drawn, mucking things up.
Daniel Jackson doesn't get a big gun, huh?
Does it have as many characters and alliances as GoT?
When do Carter and Fraiser take a shower together?

Who you got?

Inspired by a post in another thread about the racetrack at Indy....

... Part A that is. Parts B & C will have to wait awhile. I probably have more than enough to retire on, but I grew up really poor and always think I might run out. All you liberals can thank Biden that I'm still a contributor and not a taker.

Everyone have an incredible day! I'm going to.

--Democrats don't want to appear to be celebrating this verdict.
--Biden doesn't want to say "yeah I'm running against a convicted felon", that's not his style and feeds into the politicization the other side is accusing him of, wants him to indirectly refer to it at the debate
--thinks this issue potentially blocks out the other major issues Dems want to run on.
--no major speech or statement on the verdict.

They're just pathetic. Hopeless.

Any fans in here? He brought a level visceral savagery to boxing that hadn't existed before him. Even by John L. Sullivan or Jack Johnson. He was often undersized in his professional bouts, yet he possessed ferocity that shocked the boxing world. And in retirement, he was revered advocate for pugilism and a gentleman.

opinions?

Gotta say I’m glad he is standing up for himself and others that can’t afford to.
He’s not for or against the vaccine just standing up for what he wants for himself.
Clearly this chaps a lot of you because he can afford to do so.

Another political backfire for the left it seems

While volunteers lined up to fight Russia at the beginning of the war, manpower shortages are now an issue that could seal Ukraine’s fate even if it can retain Western support.

Looks like they're just going through the motions this game while Dallas runs up and down the court.

Iowa track and field competed in the NCAA West Preliminary meet last weekend in Arkansas and put together a successful weekend, qualifying five Hawkeyes to the NCAA championship meet. Mike Stein qualified for the NCAA Championships with a 74.78m javelin toss, Rivaldo Marshall qualified in the men's 800m, finishing third at the meet in 1:46.96 to earn an automatic bid, Jordan Johnson earned a trip to Eugene with a 58.22m discus throw, Paige Magee ran a 13.01 100m hurdle to finish 13th and earn a spot at the NCAA Championships, and Austin West qualified in the Men's decathlon.

Elsewhere, Iowa baseball concluded their season with a pair of heartbreaking extra-inning losses in the Big Ten Tournament. Brody Brecht was again solid on the mound, but offensive struggles and a few tough breaks ultimately downed the Hawks.

You can follow along with all things Hawkeye sports here.

…over the last few years, I can think of 12 people in New York that did what was asked of them today under very difficult circumstances. Thank you for upholding law and order in the USA. Well done, Patriots.

Does anyone have accurate (at least as accurate as possible) regarding status of the Ferrari brothers?

Living as I do in Dallas, it's always good to keep up with what's happening regarding the local sporting teams. The Dallas Mavericks are playing in the Western Conference Finals, so I'm lifting my NBA embargo so I can remain conversational at work.
As I find myself trying to watch this garbage, I can't help but think how badly the game has devolved into either dunks or three pointers. Everyone travels. Everyone fouls. The game comes down to which team the refs decide to blow the whistle for or against.
I will watch the Mavs-Celtics series, but it will only remind me why I don't watch NBA regular season games. The game has become total crap.

Help me understand why these are allowed.

I was on the interstate yesterday behind a douche driving a big diesel pickup, driving aggressively and weaving in and out. Yes, that guy - I’m sure you can picture him, and if not, look in the mirror.

Anyway, every time he accelerated a giant cloud of black smoke came out and smogged up the interstate. For miles, he got further ahead, every 30 seconds I’d see what looked like an explosion of black smoke that would linger as we all then drove through it.

Wtf? Why do we bother with emissions controls yet have these disgusting vehicles on the roads? What am I missing here?

You’ve never voted for a felon for POTUS?


I hope this is just the beginning of the bad things headed Trump’s way.

Eat shit, MAGA.
