Actually he said he will be back very soon......which I like better.
That said...….he did not look even remotely happy. Let's hope he was just tired.

Burroughs won Worlds 4 weeks after breaking his ankle.
His nonverbal signals certainly say this is pretty serious.
Fortunately our doctors and trainers base their diagnoses on science.
A peer-reviewed message board would be the ultimate bore, however. Or is that Reddit?
I’m not speculating on a diagnosis, and interpreting non verbal cues is something homo sapiens have been selectively improving for millennia on millennia. Dude looks sad. Certainly hoping for the best however.

Okay. And who is suggesting otherwise? My orthopedist gave me bad news based on science 3 months back. And others may have read elements of that diagnosis in my expressions soon thereafter.
This year the World Championships are scheduled to begin Sept. 15th and the acclamation camps are generally a week or so before the tournament, so, theoretically DT can have until the end of August which would give him about 4 months recovery time.
This is just such terrible timing. With the Olympics next year, there is added pressure on the US to qualify as many weights as possible at this year's Worlds. Additionally, with the way the US system is for making the Olympic Team, having a bye into the final OTT is huge - but you have to medal at the 2019 World's to get that bye. With World Champ Cox likely moving down, and the possibility of World Champ Dake moving up, making the Olympic Team is a much easier path to navigate if you have a bye into the best 2-out-of-3 rather than go through the mini-tournament and have to beat both Cox and Dake to make the team.
From Yazdani’s Instagram “Story.” Gotta love the brotherhood that is Wrestling!
DT will just have to beat a few more people on the way to the 20 Oly team. If he likes a challenge he sure got one now.
IMHO his nonverbal signals tell us exactly nothing. Message board speculation is one thing but you guys have got DT with one foot in the grave.
Hyperbole much? I’m sticking to my story, he looks sad in the video. Maybe it’s because he just spilled his K2 Roots smoothie though. I have no way of knowing.IMHO his nonverbal signals tell us exactly nothing. Message board speculation is one thing but you guys have got DT with one foot in the grave.
Inferring meaning from context is not immoral though, and I dislike implications to the contrary.
This whole thread is mostly hyperbole so I figured I would joint. You said you have no way of knowing, which I guess means you agree with me. As to me implying anything immoral was done that fits right in with this thread by adding more hyperbole and throwing a straw man argument on top of it. Well done.

Remember how on target this board was when speculating about Suriano's injury? Nolf's injury? Yeah, me neither.
What's a good message board panic without hyperbole and impatience?This whole thread is mostly hyperbole so I figured I would joint.

Remember the outcome of Nolfs injury?
This board would celebrate One Legged David Taylor winning Worlds like nothing we've ever seen.
That is, unless Two Legged David Taylor competes.
I guess it's unavoidable. We fall in to the same patterns again and again. Just rubs me the wrong way sometimes when board groupthink jumps all over fairly innocuous observations like: "Hmm, David doesn't seem his usual effervescent self, hope he's ok"
Who in this thread at this point has proclaimed the sky to be falling btw? I'm not seeing it.

I don't know. Burroughs did it on a broken ankle. I get he trained up to that point and it makes it so much more difficult, but the only person stopping DT is DT right now in the world.
I hear ya! Everyone wants to put words in people’s mouths and then knock those straw-man words down. #outrageculture
Didn't get to see BTS. Did DT get injured in the match or was he already hurt going in and trying to make a go of it?
haha. i saw out of taylors response is he didn't want to not finish. you people read into too much. you drama mamma board drama keyboarders are silly. hahah lol. serious though.
Patience is a virtue, or so it's said. Time will tell how this plays out.
This thread feels like our little community is hoping the injury is not serious, and well-wishes on his recovery. No "sky is falling", just concern.

I think we need some parabolas to go with the hyperbole.
hey buster, you drink a jug of fester's homemade maddog 20 20 and see how you type. you should have heard me try and talk. haaahaaahaweeeeeCould you repost this in English?
Do we need degenerate coneheads?
