Well, these picks were a lot worse than the ones I put in my pools at work for $...thank God.

Lot of crazy shit has happened this week.

Did anyone see Austin DeSanto (best known for beating Spencer Lee in the finals in Lee’s Senior year when he was wrestling to become a 4 time state champion last year) try to break Stevan Micic’s arm with a Jiu Jitsu Kimura bar?!?? This happened in the last 10 seconds when DeSanto knew it was over. That kid is literally insane. If he’s not autistic, he’s a punk ass!

I watched a bunch of interviews of those two after that. There is something up with that DeSanto kid...he’s not right. Micic was cool, calm and collected as hell in his interview...and funny. He said stuff like, “well, he must not be used to taking an ass beating like that” and “man, when he beat me earlier this year, I had just lost to Pletcher and didn’t want to be on the mat afterwards, but 10 minutes later I have to wrestle that kid (DeSanto) who wrestles all crazy and in your face and tries to break your arm. It’s weird, if you don’t give him your right arm, he can’t shoot, which I feel bad, for there might be something wrong with him.” I dunno if that’s word for word, but it was a good interview... I’ll have to dig some of these up and embed.

There is a lot of serious debate as to whether DeSanto has autism right now and how he should be handled because of it....there is definitely something wrong with him.

Oh, and speaking of Spencer Lee...holy cow that kid shocked the hell out of me yesterday. I didn’t think beating NATO like that was possible.
