Foley's Friday Mailbag for 7/26/19

[Tom McAndrew]

No PSU questions or answers in this week's Mailbag. Zain is mentioned in the opening commentary.

For those keeping track, this is week 147, and despite promises he tweeted, no response to Flo's article about Olympic reffing corruption from Foley.

Mike C was besides himself for not being in last week's Mailbag, and made up for it for asking 3 of the 4 questions in this week's Mailbag.

Foley is right:

"There isn't much more to say on the topic that hasn't already been written, except to reiterate that processing competition claims through the courts is extremely disappointing. The wrestling community should be better than to take their grievances off the mats as it establishes a precedent that costs money, time, and the proper focus and preparation of athletes. Also, I think that the complaint being made here is in bad faith, and meant to upend the result by any means necessary rather than accept an unpalatable decision by the refereeing body.

I enjoy Yianni's wrestling and know he would enjoy a great chance to medal at the World Championships. But … he lost the match in New Jersey and that outcome should not be revisited by a room full of suits two months after the fact. The focus of USA Wrestling and the starting 10 should be on Nur-Sultan and the impact it will have on the chances for Team USA to win a multitude of medals in Tokyo."

One of the few times I agree with Foley.

> blah blah

In other words:
“Don’t be a dbag, Yianni.”

Also, for those keeping track, this is week 2, and Foley still has not responded to Jammenz calling him out on his supposed Askren bet winnings.

In other words:
“Don’t be a dbag, Yianni.”

Or more germaine: “Don’t be a dbag, Koll.”
