I don’t think Ferrari is being ridiculed due to this one incident……it’s a compilation of events

I mean, I'm not going to argue with a self righteous dumbass (you). So it's whatever you want to say or believe.
Somehow, I thought I was ignoring you Because your inability to keep politics off this board. It’s been glorious, not having to read your posts. For some reason your reply showed up. I have no beef with the DQ. That has nothing at all to do with what I posted. Stop muddying the waters.
Ding, ding, ding. Mis-direction won't work on this latest dung show.
Seems to be developing an attachment. He'd be a good get, imo.
Solid effort. Not sure which part of the above makes you sound dummer.
I noticed that also, but I don't think he knew the kid was injured. once he planted him on the mat he jumped up and turned away and started his flexing and didn't look back at his opponent. I waited to see what the camera would show, but soon the kid jogged back to center and shook hands. Maybe just got the wind knocked out of him.. I first thought he might have rib damage.
Why is everyone so soft all of a sudden? This is a non issue until he flips the crowd off that was booing him. He had since apologized. Time to move forward.
it might have been a non issue until he took a swing at a potential future teammate.
You think he took a swing for no reason? What was the reason he took the swing? Does that matter to you?
he took a swing because he got pushed in retaliation for his head push. you think he had justification for swinging at someone….let alone knowing he was already on thin ice?
I think something was also said. The swing didn't even land. Wasn't a good look but there's always more to the story. Guys push off heads all the time. Does that deserve a shove after? Both guys in the wrong here. AJ has apologized and it's time to let this blow over imo.
It’s a non issue if he isn’t a guy Iowa is recruiting. The guy has been given the opportunity to compete for Iowa as we are actively recruiting him despite his shady past. Swinging at a potential future teammate and flipping off the crowd initially and then doing the splits and giving a double FU to what would have been your home fans is what makes this so bad and is what has made people strongly not want him. I can’t believe I am even taking the time to try to explain to you as you must be too dense to grasp the impact of his actions. 🙄. If Brands hasn’t already cut ties with him, it is a sad state for Iowa wrestling.
What about ADS and his actions? What about brands and his actions? You can't have it one way for some and not others. The fact that you call me dense just shows that you have no argument and are just looking to trash people lol time for you to calm down and let the coaches handle this...
once again give AJ a pass and deflect the blame……are a possible few more points, maybe finishing in the top 4 or 5
you can’t really equate the Brands actions on the mat and Desanto’s disability which could be defined and with work negated with AJ’s continued irresponsible actions on and off the mat! I know you are trying hard to make a case for a few more points at nationals but the risk and potential harm is far too great.
I’m calling you dense because you are comparing apples and oranges. ADS had an incident at NCAA’s prior to coming to Iowa. His antics at Iowa or previously don’t compare to AJ’s. The Brands brothers as wrestlers wrestled intensely and had a shove out of bounds here and there, but sgsin, no comparison to what happened last night. Did you even watch the Brands Bros wrestle? Ferrari was disqualified and that didn’t even include him giving multiple fingers to the crowd of the team that was recruiting him and then also trying to draw attention to himself giving multiple fingers to the crowd. You can’t seem to see the differences.
Whoda thunk that the sleepy Soldier Salute would deliver this level of pyrotechnics and outrage? Not this cat.
My biggest concern the day after is how soft our fanbase is today. Outraged that an emotionally charged hothead would have the audacity to flip them the bird after being booed by the very fans he hopes would eventually support him as a Hawkeye.
Chrissakes, I get flipped off two or three times every morning on my drive into work. Big deal, get over it and maybe quit booing amateur athletes while you’re at it. It’s bush league and a sure sign of inbred stupidity. Sounds like a number of our fans deserved the middle finger salute. Quit clutching your pearls and grow up.

Is that you Mike, how's the fishing been?
Yeah. A well established hot headed prick took a swing at one of our guys then went nutso on the crowd. But the crowd is the inbred one in that story.
True genius.
Jfc get the best guys you can every year and let best man win
Remember Royce Alger? No one smashed more heads than ole Royce
You are a terrible driver.
Lol Ironside is the least of our worries, imo. Isn’t he color commentary? I like hearing him get worked up and he doesn’t come off like a total homer, imo.
And he’s surrounded by middle fingers.
Sounds like you need to quit driving like AJ Ferrari. Slow the **** down before you kill someone
Am i doing this right?
Well, OK. But that’s a far cry from giving him the boot or wanting him gone, eh?
I don't want him gone, but I think all of it is fair criticism. He's definitely gotten lazier over the past few years.
Personally, I wouldn't object hearing Marinelli, Moody, or Young get some occasional air time.
I agree. Calls it the way he sees it and has objectivity. Need more of that in today’s world.
Plus, wasn’t Caliendo kind of a package deal with Franek? Of course we should have brought him in if would help convince Franek to come. PK gets better or Caliendo gets better. Either way, bringing in Caliendo makes Iowa better (not that the OP was against it).
And that's what you get for stereotyping. I am not a Ferrari defender. Unlike some people (not pointing fingers) I try to look at things in an unbiased manner, which means I don't criticize for a charge one was never convicted for, nor do I absolutely lose my shit for a 19-year-old passing in a no-passing zone (like none of us have ever done that). His incident just happened to result in a crash where many of us survived mostly without incident the stupid driving shit we did as teenagers. Also, I'm a lifetime military man and as such have always voted Republican due to Republican's stance on Defense spending.
So would it safe for me to say you non-Ferrari defenders are...what?? No, it's not safe to say that because whatever "that" is probably wouldn't be true.
Caliendo IS better. He’s quicker and slicker.
GA should be the guy at 174.
Not sure about 197….
Sheesh…. I’m needing a flow chart to keep up. I think you’re wasting your breath, Nashville…
My friend, I haven't changed. I just can't sit here and bash three Ferrari's for the dumbshit actions of one, and while I completely get that AJ is an absolute dick (no question there), I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon with some of the hatred for a sexual assault crime for which he was never convicted, nor am I going to lose my shit because he passed in a no-passing zone. His idiot driving resulted in a serious accident...got it. But we all did dumbshit driving as teenagers, at least most of us. So in the end do I think AJ should be on the team? I don't know...that's up to the coaching staff. But do I think the other two should pay for AJ being a dipshit? Absolutely not. Also, I did make some statements based on what was shown on BTN+ vice what you all saw first hand at the venue. Much of what you saw wasn't shown on the BTN broadcast (the double fingers split maneuver, etc.). BLUF: Haven't changed, still think I'm pretty normal, and still think I have pretty strong values, morals, etc. At the end of the day I'm good with whatever the coaching staff decides...they've got much better info to work with than most of us.
