Well you could argue this once again with every sport. You aren't going to become a wrestler that can compete in the Olympics either without some sort of big time training which wouldn't come cheap. You could make the same case for every sport. In order to become good at this level you need the proper training. Your local high school coach isn't going to produce you into an Olympic medalist. I'm not just trying to pick on wrestling I am just stating that the same case could be made with any sport.

Well I could not agree more with basically what you said. I don't agree with removing wrestling especially since it was the original sport in the Olympic games. Personally I don't see why they even HAD to remove one at all. I am not disagreeing that removing wrestling is wrong I am just making a point that there are some games in the Summer and Winter Olympic games that don't require as much strength and stamina as Wrestling but I do feel that they should still be in the games. Maybe I am just uninformed but I don't see why they even had to remove a sport and add 2 more. It could be cost or just the medal count but I am unaware. I am sure they had some sort of reason to choose wrestling but it would be nice to have them make it a little more clear as to why wrestling was chosen over the others.

I don't really agree with wrestling being removed and especially since Rugby is being added as well. I personally like the idea of golf. There really isn't an international championship to golf so this to me is something special to the game. I mean you could make the argument for most sports about being faster and stronger. I know golf doesn't require you to do a whole lot of lifting but neither does Equestrian and that is an Olympic sport too. There are a couple of sports that don't require being faster and stronger but smarter. I don't think the Olympics should necessarily define itself as being an event where you have to do a bunch of physical activity but more of an event where the best from each country go up against each other for world titles. I am sure when people grow up they don't think they are going to be in the Olympics for Equestrian. In fact most kids (especially US) want to play Football (which isn't included), Basketball, and Baseball. These are by far the most important in the United States and only one of those is offered in the Olympic games. My point being is that I agree Wrestling should not be removed but that Golf should be in at the same time. Golf takes a tremendous amount of skill and those that don't actually play the sport most of the time do not appreciate the level of skill these athletes are at. You can even make the argument where a guy like Tiger Woods could potentially be in better shape than some other Olympic athletes. I mean the guy works out and lifts like 3 times a day.

This is what Caution had posted in another JB thread earlier this week. I believe the Monday he was referring to was this previous one but he could still have other stuff he is catching up on.

Still wish VIP escape was around....

Clearly legos. I used to LOVE legos. I believe I still have them all stored somewhere but I used to make some sweet houses and airplanes with legos.

I liked the idea behind the competition but if I remember correctly the voting process was a little messed up. Not sure if I am remembering the right event or not.

Well got 1/2 right. I still think the Pats are the better team but the Ravens won so I guess that doesn't mean anything now. I am still shocked that the Ravens have made it this far and I want to pick the 49ers now to come out on top but the Ravens continue to surprise me. Regardless I am still going to roll with the 49ers with a final of 24-20.

Pats and 49ers in the Super Bowl with the Pats coming out on top.

Canada claimed Colorado?

He wins games. That is what great players do, they find ways to win.

This week will especially be tough. Too many distractions. I just don't see them finishing this season on a positive note at all. I feel bad for the players and nobody seems to be talking about them. Their beloved coached has just been fired and their campus is going crazy and they are expected to still try and play some tough teams. Well the rumor is he was caught in 1998 and was basically told to retire in 1999 because of the situation.

Not now. Just updated he is now fired. Unreal. It's sad to see him leave like this and this story just continues to get worse. Right now I'm watching ESPN and they are talking about riots at Penn State by students. It's one thing to hear about paying players but to hear about one of the coaches doing something like this to little boys is just awful.

This is highly unfortunate. Even though Joe Pa did report the incident to the administration he should have gone a little further and mentioned the situation to the authorities. I can't believe that Sandusky did this really. I mean he has his own childrens organization and he did this behind the scenes? To me this is a disgrace. I just don't understand how some people can even think of doing something like this. Sad to see this happen to what I thought was a respectable organization. That is now 2 respected coaches from the Big 10 put into difficult situations.

Not at all I like to stay busy while I'm here. Plus it keeps the game fresh for when I do get to play.

Not enough time to play in college

I have owned a logitech for over a year now and got it for $20. Works great and I change the battery probably once every 3 months. I don't notice any lag in it.

We are playing it right as I type this.

This is the one that is on the server and you can get out of the map. Quite annoying for those CTs that know how to do it and send you to disco every round so they can exploit it.

This map is broken. There is an exploit where you can get out of the map and see into some rooms from above the map while those inside cannot see you at all.

To be honest this map is pretty bad. It is pretty laggy for me at least and it is just huge. It turns into a giant camp fest because nobody knows where to go.

I appreciate everything that Octavarium does for the community. You're welcome.
