Dake not only getting younger - he’s getting dumber

I love this outspoken Flower Child Dake. Weird angle, but it keeps me coming back every week. Can't wait to see the payoff.
One observation about Dake, the guy spends enormous time and energy trying to gain that few extra percentage points of performance and recovery. In some ways, not relying on traditional workouts, food, etc is refreshing...some of this "off the wall" stuff does actually help. The sun is obviously good for vitamin D and boosting immunity, also good for dopamine and performance.
OTOH, too much of anything, good for you or not, can hurt you.

Ah, the good old days when there was actually a functioning ozone barrier.Also, George Washington, Babe Ruth, King Leonidas, and others were a bunch of self-limiting dummies because they weirdly did not use sunscreen!
I am with Dake on this one. It is true that some (very few) people cannot handle the sun. The rest of us should just use it in moderation and allow the vitamin D to do its thing. IMHO
I’m DEFINITELY one of the few. Just got back from the outer banks. I wore a wide brimmed hat, long sleeves, SPF 30, and sunglasses and sat under an umbrella all week, and I STILL got burned early and often. Must be the scandinavian heritage.
Maybe Dake wants wrestling and the Olympic athletes to return to naked contests, as was the case for a while in ancient Greek times. That might be interesting, and it could also prove valuable for keeping wrestling in the Olympics if the sport serves as the pathbreaker.
On the other hand, there are some folks that we probably don't want to see in the raw.

Whatever is going on, I will root for Dake against Chamizo. Dake generally seems more tolerable (well, on second thought ... maybe) than when he wrestled in college, and he has opened up his style to be more offensive over the years. Both guys like to talk some trash though.
I am surprised how easy-going Myles Martin seems. I had never heard him say much until the recent FLO interviews. Is it his father who is kind of a rabble-rouser at times?

Myles grew up about 10 miles from where I live and has always been a really nice and courteous kid. His dad was another story, but after seeing him at a couple of local tournaments I would say that he has toned it down quite a bit.
The dad I saw at the NLo going crazy in the stands and his online stuff back then was a little cra cra....but I talked to him in passing at the psu vs tosu match in rec last time and we was very chill and nice.
Never met Myles but I've heard he is very nice and humble. That generally comes from a grounded home life.
Myles wrestling ability made his dad’s schtick irrelevant......which is good for everyone. Good young man all the way around
Mostly me too ... when I take the time to do all of that. Reason for me are the wrongdoings of my youth when we didn't know better.

Well, it is Cornell, so that is really like semi-Ivy or Ivy-Lite.
That is one big pale sunscreened bag of money!
