This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Wrestling World Championships begin tomorrow. by PaulM
Some young guys looking to impress for the USA like Ed Ruth, Tony Ramos, and Nick Marable, the only man to defeat Jordan Burroughs in freestlye. Brent Metcalf will be there.
Of course, the highlight as always will be Burroughs himself. In 2008, after a humiliating 10th place finish in the Junior World Championships, he promised himself never to be anything less than the best. Since then, he's won two NCAA championships, two World Championships, and an Olympic gold. He will probably go down as the best wrestler the USA has ever had, and he's only 26.
Anyway, I have no idea if it will be on TV or live stream, but if it is it should be worth watching.
