    Back in the day, we followed "Sports"...I read the sports pages (and newspaper) front to back, couldn't wait until Friday for Sports Illustrated to come in the mail. "Wide World of Sports" was a must on Saturdays, and the Olympics back-to-front. I knew who the "best" were in every sport, from Chess to Drag Racing, and Dan Gable was the GOAT..."our" guy beat the GOAT...

    Blood Brothers

    My mom got me a subscription to SI in third grade so I would read something
    There was another subscription going around that I preferred in the 70s. My friends dads were big fans.
    I always tried to beat mom to the mailbox once a year...If I missed it, I had to conduct an FBI-level investigation to find where she hid it...#cherylteigs

    In Gable's Joe Rogan interview, he talks about how he couldn't stand ever exposing his back to the mat.

    If you watch Rob Rhone's moves in the vids above, you see a guy completely comfortable exposing his back to the mat to roll his opponent.

    Larry Owings was the same way, rolling all over the place but never getting caught out of position.

    Great fucking sport. Especially collegiate style wrestling.

    Long gone now.

    Thanks Title 9.

    Fuck you, Meghan Rapinoe.
