—

In the late 1980s when Beau James started professional wrestling, crowds came for a show between good and evil, to see a story about heroes and villains, to enjoy the fights and then go home. .

James loved being the hero but that was nothing compared to playing the villain.

“They introduced me and people booed me for almost two minutes straight. … It’s a high. … And I’ve been there in the same situation where they love me – I don’t don’t think it compares to the peak of hate.

Wrestlers build a character with a backstory so the audience feels the stakes are high when they get punched in the face. Although they often take themes from current affairs and pop culture, they are generally not overtly political. But the 2016 presidential race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton sparked an idea between James and wrestler Dan Harnsberger.

Together they developed “The Progressive Liberal” Dan Richards, often the villain at games in the Republican-voting mining towns of Appalachia and some southern states. The Liberal would get a following and even cheers as crowds watched the violence staged on a night of pro wrestling.

Over the past five years, however, that atmosphere has become much darker, James and Harnsberger said this month.

After this month’s midterm elections resulted in the defeat of many Trump-backed candidates, even some Holocaust deniers conceded their races. It suggested that at least some were ready to move past Trump’s refusal to accept defeat in 2020 and the crowd of supporters he incited who violently stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

But in Appalachian mountain towns, that rhetoric has had a lasting effect, Harnsberger said, even among fans who know wrestling is entertainment.

“The crowd took a more violent approach towards me,” said Harnsberger, who plays the liberal progressive in the ring. “I had stones thrown at me. A lady pulled out a lighter, tried to set my trunks on fire as they were on top of me. And someone else pulled out a switchblade.

A professional wrestler lives or dies on the involvement of the crowd, which is even more important than the skills of those inside the ring.

So when he saw forests of Trump flags across West Virginia during the 2016 presidential election, James wondered how he could tap into that passion – known as the “heat” in the language of struggle.

“My God,” he remembers saying to a pal. “If we had a guy who was the anti-Trump, and we could send him to the ring in these cities, how much heat would we have?”

They tried to carry a Hillary Clinton flag into the ring and had a very strong reaction. The following weekend, James met Harnsberger for the first time in a long time. They had wrestled together years earlier. Besides, Harnsberger had tested how his politics would play out.

The two came together to create and promote the Progressive-Liberal Party. James helped Harnsberger refine his opinions into lines that would piss off the crowd, and how to pace them — like when to say, “We’re coming for your guns.”

And things went well. They entertained. A fan once flashed a 9mm handgun to his hip and told Harnsberger to come get it, James said. Sometimes Harnsberger had half the crowd on his side, like at a game in the Arkansas Ozarks.

When a sports website noticed Harnsberger’s gimmick in 2017, a wave of reporters, including me, came to see how his Hillary trunks were playing in the counties that showed Trump the most support.

“The heat you want is the heat where people are upset about what you stand for…and they want to see you get your ass kicked,” Harnsberger said.

This is when the crowds get involved and will see you win or lose and come back next time.

In 2022, the Hillary trunks were replaced with a pair saying “Riding with Biden”.

The progressive liberal is still the villain, but Harnsberger and James said audiences have changed.

“The last five years it’s just gotten out of control,” James said. People became more frustrated, more divided, he said. And the progressive-liberal offers an outlet for that pent-up energy.

“So now here’s this guy in our town, saying what we see on TV that we don’t agree with. We can’t have these people [on TV], we can’t have the politicians. Let’s get him,” James said, describing the attitude.

“Dan can go and release what he believes, what he feels, his frustrations to an audience that he’s upset [and] that they can give it back to him directly because he’s the closest thing to what they’re mad at, that they can actually interact with,” he said.

And while most politicians don’t come to these small towns, progressive-liberals do. “You can insult him. You can boo him, slap him, or try. You can throw anything at him. He’s right there,” James said.

Harnsberger is a liberal and James a conservative. They don’t get along much on politics and don’t talk about it outside of the ring except to work on their act.

“We are complete opposites,” James said. “I am a mountain man who owns guns, chews tobacco and believes in the Bible; Dan is not. But Dan and I can get along. And if we have arguments, we have a luxury that most people don’t have – we know that somewhere in the next few days we’ll be in the ring together so we can just punch each other in the back of the head. ”

But it’s staged. And that’s not what happened with the public.

James lays down a few rules to try to keep the crowd from getting ugly – there are no criticisms or jokes about the Bible or the opioid crisis in these towns.

But on a recent night in Stickleyville, Va., where Trump’s vote share rose from an already overwhelming 78% in 2016 to 84% in 2020, it turned ugly and fast.

As Harnsberger attempted to engage with people who had paid to watch, he was drowned out by boos.

A lot of this was expected. A man in the audience, Alex Adkins, told CNN the progressive-liberal’s views wouldn’t sit well: “Everyone wants to punch him in the face!”

And a man with a Trump flag who wouldn’t give his name said he wanted to see Harnsberger beaten. “We love wrestling, first of all,” he said of why he was there. “But come and show the liberal like, hey, we know what we stand for. Yeah, and definitely not the left side.

When some in the audience told their neighbors to let Harnsberger speak, it boiled over. Punches were thrown. Someone was hit with a chair.

“He went past the heat point to it’s dangerous,” James said, explaining why they cut the fight short.

More fights broke out and the fights spilled into the parking lot.

As James and Harnsberger sat backstage waiting for it to be calm enough for them to leave safely, they both agreed they could have handled the situation better.

But neither said they created the problem.

“I think if I had never existed, they would feel the same way,” Harnsberger said. “But I have a unique ability to bring out that reaction when I’ve been in front of them since I’ve been here.”

October has been an eventful month for many of Montreal’s top prospects with several star-worthy candidates as our monthly Three Stars returns.

Laval

1st star: Anthony Richard – He was an interesting signing over the summer as a consistent secondary contributor, but didn’t have much luck being a top line. Richard has that chance this season with the Rocket and although it took him a few games to find his footing, he finished the month on a four-game goal streak (and kept his game solid in November). On merit, he should be the first recalled if injured (although prospect development may outweigh merit).

Statistics: 8 GP, 4 goals, 2 assists, 6 points, -5 rating, 20 shots, 2 PIMS

2nd star: Brandon Gignac – I was really happy when Gignac re-signed for another two years. There are glue players every team needs and he is one of them. As well as being an energetic defensive player who can move up and down the lineup, he showed an ability to rack up points in the second half of last year and that continued into the start of this season. . A solid start.

Statistics: 7 GP, 2 goals, 3 assists, 5 points, tied rating, 14 shots, 4 PIMS

3rd star: Gabriel Bourque – There were times last season when Bourque was invisible offensively and others when he looked like an impact scorer. In the first two weeks, he was last as he scored in each of Laval’s first four games of the season. Otherwise, in a quiet month for many players, that’s enough to land the third star.

Statistics: 8 GP, 4 goals, 0 assists, 4 points, -1 rating, 15 shots, 4 PIMS

This is normally the part where I would add an honorable mention, but to be honest there really isn’t anyone else worth mentioning. Instead, we’ll go with a second honorable mention among other prospects.

Other perspectives

1st star: Joshua Roy (Sherbrooke, QMJHL) – Although there is a risk of development stagnation by sending him back to junior, the Habs didn’t really have a choice since he couldn’t go to Laval. Roy is off to another high-end start and does so without the second and third leading scorers who have moved on. This is a good thing. What will really make his season successful or not is his development in the areas of improvement, but that’s not something we’re technically getting into with this particular series.

Statistics: 11 GP, 6 goals, 12 assists, 18 points, +7 in the standings, 51 shots, 6 PIMS

2nd star: Owen Beck (Mississauga, OHL) – First things first, it’s worth mentioning that Beck has done pretty well in the preseason, all things considered, which is taken into consideration with this placement. But these games were in a defensive role. The offense was a question mark for him, which helped him slip into the second round. Well, he’s certainly trying to answer those questions early on as he’s quickly become one of the Steelheads’ top threats. We know he’s the kind of prospect with a high floor with his hustle, defensive play and face-off ability, but if he takes big steps forward offensively this season, his stock will increase.

Statistics (OHL): 10 GP, 7 goals, 8 assists, 15 points, +5 on the score, 25 shots, 6 PIMS, 59.4% faceoffs

3rd star: Riley Kidney (Acadie-Bathurst, QMJHL) – With Hendrix Lapierre now in the AHL with Washington, Kidney is now the Titan’s go-to player. (Developmentally, it’s at least a different challenge for him.) Early results are more than promising as he picked up where he left off a year ago, again without the type of supporting cast of 2021-22. He’s someone whose spot for Canada at the World Juniors probably isn’t set yet, so that kind of start certainly helps on that front.

Statistics: 14 GP, 5 goals, 14 assists, 19 points, -5 rating, 65 shots, 12 PIMS, 50.5% faceoffs

Honorable Mention 1: Jared Davidson (Seattle, WHL) – Davidson will be hard to gauge this season. As someone old enough to turn pro, he’s expected to dominate, but as a fifth-round player, is that really fair? For at least a month he lived up to high expectations as one of the best players for the Thunderbirds, a team that looks to have the potential to make some noise in the WHL this season. I wish he had at least had a look at Laval first, but it’s hard to argue with early results.

Statistics: 9 GP, 7 goals, 10 assists, 17 points, +10 ratings, 39 shots, 10 PIMS, 61.1% faceoffs

Honorable Mention 2: Jakub Dobes (Ohio State, NCAA) – There’s a really good case for Cedrick Guindon here, but I’ll pick the goaltender. After a stellar first year, I wasn’t sure what to expect for an encore. For the most part, Dobes has been the same hard-hitting goalkeeper as last season, although there have been a few breakages along the way. It’s rare to have a perfect month though and right now it looks like he’s picked up where he left off, which is exactly what Montreal was hoping to see from him.

Statistics: 10 GP, 7-2-1 record, 2.25 GAA, 0.917 SV%, 1 SO

More CS: GO the pros with standard FPS hotkeys like moving with “WASD” and shooting with “Mouse1”, but Fnatic Rifleman Dion “FASHR” Derksen isn’t your average pro.

The 26-year-old helped Fnatic reach the major playoffs at IEM Rio for the first time since ELEAGUE Boston Major in 2018 with some of the most exotic hotkeys in the entire community. He moves forward by clicking “Mouse2”, backwards with “;”, moves right with “.”, and goes left when he presses “.”.

And that’s not all. FASHR jumps with “?” rather than space, crouch with “M”, reload with “K”, and play amazing with the reverse mouse. FASHR said there was no reason for him to use such atrocious hotkeys in CS: GObut the reverse mouse he learned watching his father play Flight simulator when he was a kid, according to an old Endpoint video.

I just want to remind you FNATIC @itsFASHR csgo settings:

“That guy must be stupid,” FASHR joked about his CS: GO settings are going viral again on the game’s official subreddit. The Dutch rifleman joined ECSTATIC in August 2022 and helped the ‘Black and Orange’ qualify for their first Major since IEM Katowice in 2019.

According to HLTV, FASHR averaged a 0.93 rating at IEM Rio Major Challengers Stage, which isn’t ideal for a non-IGL player, but recovered at the Legends Stage with a rating of 1, 19 on five cards played.

If the common CS: GO the settings don’t do the job for you, you can try playing as FASHR and see if your matchmaking results improve. Its settings can be downloaded here.

American golfer Phil Mickelson is widely regarded as one of the best players on the tour, having won six major tournament championships and 45 PGA Tour matches. At 50 years, 11 months and seven days, he broke the record for the oldest player to win the PGA Championship. He is also a three-time Masters winner. Additionally, Mickelson was the most expensive golfer in this year’s controversial LIV Golf series.

Caddies play an essential role in a golfer’s professional life and therefore also in his victories. When Phil Mickelson split from his 25-year-old junior, Jim ‘Bones’ Mackay in 2017, it came as a shock to everyone.

Mickelson soon teamed up with his brother, Tim Mickelson, who took on the role of his caddy. The duo have won several titles together, including the 2021 PGA Championship. Interestingly, when Mickelson announced the development on social media, Tim had a very surprising response.

He said he never imagined himself caddying for him or on the PGA Tour until Mickelson asked him to. According to Sportscasting, he said:

“We never talked about it. Until the day he called, I never imagined myself caddying for him or caddying on the PGA Tour.”

“The most important thing is that it’s family”, – Tim Mickelson on the shopping cart for his brother Phil Mickelson

Phil called his brother Tim after splitting with Jim ‘Bones’ Mackay. Although it wasn’t something Tim ever considered doing, he immediately got back to work.

Tim coached golf at the University of San Diego for eight years before coaching at Arizona State from 2011 to 2016. While there, he trained world amateur No. 1 Jon Rahm, who became a prolific golfer.

In addition to teaching golf, he also had ambitions to become a sports agent. When Rahm decided to turn professional in 2016, Tim quickly became his agent after coaching him earlier.

However, when his brother Phil called him to be his caddy, he immediately abandoned all ambitions of being a sports agent and took over the caddy duties for his brother.

He said Rahm saw the opportunity and supported him.

“We spoke to Jon, and he was great about it. He said, ‘You don’t have much to do for me day-to-day, and our schedules are pretty much the same. I think we can manage.”

Tim told the San Diego Union-Tribune that because of his job, he started spending more time with his brother, Phil Mickelson.

“The most important thing is that it’s family. I thought it would be nice to be here more often and spend more time with my brother. And, indirectly, I’m going to end up spending more time with all the other members of my family.”

Tim also played golf in the late 1990s and even competed with Mickelson in the Buick Invitational in 1999, although neither got the cup.

Emeka Egbuka was one of the Ohio State players to speak after practice Wednesday. One of the areas he discussed was JT Tuimoloau’s play in Week 9.

Egbuka claimed that Tuimoloau is a “one-in-a-generation type athlete”. Tuimoloau definitely showed how athletic he can be against Penn State. Tuimoloau had 6 total tackles and a pair of sacks and interceptions.

Tuimoloau could also be the first overall pick when he decides to turn professional, according to Egbuka. It’s early in his career at Ohio State, but with names like Chase Young, Nick Bosa and Joey Bosa coming through Columbus, anything is possible.

Emeka Egbuka says JT Tuimoloau is a “one-in-a-generation type athlete” and always thought he would be a “number one overall pick”. pic.twitter.com/964MwohpAE

— Griffin Strom (@GriffinStrom3) November 2, 2022

Although Egbuka complimented the way Tuimoloau played, he also had a solid outing against the Nittany Lions. He had 6 receptions for 53 receiving yards.

Egbuka and Tuimoloau will have the chance to make plenty of plays against a North West 1-7 side on Saturday. Evanston’s kickoff is scheduled for noon ET on ABC.

DUBAI, Oct 31 (Reuters) – Oil exporters in Arab Gulf countries are expected to set aside an average of around 33% of their oil revenues over the period 2022-26, leading to an improvement in the overall fiscal balance, the Fund said on Monday. international monetary policy, emphasizing the need to resist temptations to revert to pro-cyclical spending.

Rising oil and gas prices are expected to increase the average current account surplus of the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to 9.7% of GDP in 2022, from 4.6% of GDP a year last year, resulting in an additional surplus of $275 billion, the IMF says in its latest report.

“A lot of (Gulf states) are confirming that this time they will stick to their (fiscal discipline) plans… The proof is going to be in the pudding. You always have the temptation to go pro-cyclical,” said the IMF in the Middle East and the Center. Asia department director Jihad Azour told Reuters.

“Oil exporters must increase and strengthen their reserves and use this moment as a litmus test for sustainable diversification.”

Middle Eastern oil exporters are expected to outperform their peers with forecast growth of 5.2% this year after growing 4.5% in 2021, boosted by high oil prices and robust non-oil GDP growth offsetting rising global interest rates and rising food prices.

Growth is expected to moderate to 3.5% in 2023 as oil prices fall and global demand slows, the Fund added in its latest report.

For Saudi Arabia, the biggest exporter, the IMF predicts growth of 7.6% this year, slightly below the government’s forecast of 8% and against 3.2% in 2021.

Growth in the kingdom’s oil sector is expected to fall to 3.3% next year from 13.1% in 2022, while non-oil GDP is forecast at 3.8% in 2023 from 4.2% this year.

“Our policy recommendations for Saudi Arabia as well as other oil-exporting countries are to maintain the path of reforms that help diversify the economy, improve productivity (and) avoid pro-cyclical policies,” Azour said. .

The size of the non-oil sector has increased in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf states, with new sectors opening up and attracting investment, while the financial sector is ‘well capitalized, profitable and sound’ , said Azour.

He then told a press conference on Monday that the impact on the financial sector from Gulf central banks was “relatively limited” and largely in line with rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve, despite lower inflation in the region. region than the global trend. Most Gulf currencies are pegged to the US dollar.

“So far, this impact has been limited and strongly offset by…improving foreign exchange reserves…as well as improving fiscal positions, which will reduce the need for governments to borrow and crowding out the private sector,” he said.

Jaipur Pink Panthers put on a team performance with the raid and department defense working in tandem and defeated the Telugu Titans by 51-27. Arjun Deshwal, Rahul Chaudhari, Sahul Kumar, Sunil Kumar and Ankush Rathee contributed and starred in this huge victory for Jaipur.

If the Titans were hoping to end their miserable run with an inspiring performance, then maybe now was the time to show up. Except that, almost from the start, it was the Pink Panthers who dominated.

They raced to the lead, and it took the Titans until they were down six points to score their first point of the game. However, Rahul Chaudhari’s SUPER RAID knocked out Mohit Pahal and Ravinder Pahal and helped Jaipur launch the game’s first ALL-OUT.

The Panthers went further, with a second ALL OUT to extend their lead to 23-7, with five minutes of the first half remaining. The Titans’ porous defense had been their failure all season and it proved once again, only 2 out of 21 tackles made in the first half. The Panthers entered the break leading 29-10.

Any hope of a resurgence was extinguished fairly quickly as the Panthers got a third ALL-OUT to extend their lead. The clinical nature of Jaipur contrasted sharply with the Titans’ lack of consistency and the points were piling up quickly.

Arjun Deshwal completed his 10 points with 10 minutes remaining and while there was no doubting his brilliance, the real eye-catcher was Sahul Kumar including 7 tackle points – four of which caught the Titans’ first raider Siddharth Desai – were an example of the Panthers’ dominance and the Titans’ failures.

The Titans got an ALL-OUT with seconds of the game remaining to cut the deficit. But by then, it was no longer a question of if or when, but how much the Panthers would win. Another double-digit demolition helped the Panthers solidify their position in second place in the points table.

TAMPA, Fla. — Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was shown on TV directing a sweary tirade down his offensive line in last Sunday’s 20-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but center Robert Hainsey said Wednesday that’s what we want, and that’s what their unit wants.

“Anyone can call him what they want, but I don’t want anything more from a quarterback than that — than the guy who wants to tell us what we need to do and step up,” said Hainsey, who is in his first year as a starting center and second season in the NFL. “If he was just sitting there and not pushing us forward and trying to help us, he wouldn’t be who he is today.”

“I like that from him. I know we all like that from him. It may sound weird on TV, but that’s football. That’s what you expect from great teammates and great leaders, and he’s the best there is.”

The explosion occurred with: 46 to go in the first half, after an unsuccessful exercise of two minutes. Brady was fumbled with the sack for a 9-yard loss by Alex Highsmith on first down, fending them off on second and 19th – the second time in the first half he was sacked. Then on third-and-11, Brady failed to connect with wide receiver Breshad Perriman on a dig route with the ball thrown too low.

Brady got up from the bench and walked to the offensive line shouting, “You’re so much better than the fucking way you play!”

On his “Let’s go!” podcast with Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald, Brady said of the tirade on Monday, “I don’t know if it’s motivation, but I think it’s a bad day when there’s more F-bombs than of touchdowns. So it wasn’t one of my best days. But the F-bombs, they kind of got in the way of showing you in those times, but now it’s kind of for the world to see. So that’s how it is.

“If I feel like we’re not meeting expectations and we’re not meeting the expectations that we’re capable of, then that’s my job,” Brady said. “I’m a quarterback. I don’t expect the right tackle to do it. I don’t expect the running back to do it. I don’t expect the receiver to do it. I expect me to do it. I’m the one over there talking in the caucus, calling the plays.”

“That’s my job. Trying to move us forward and trying to rally us. And there’s a lot of ways to do that. And sometimes it’s positive encouragement, which you often do.

“Sometimes it’s, you know, going after people and trying to raise the level, the sense of urgency, and raising your voice and trying to create a different vibe for the whole offense. And that’s (ultimately) what you’re trying to do.”

“I like that from him. I know we all like that from him. It may sound weird on TV, but that’s football. That’s what you expect from great teammates and great leaders, and he’s the best there is.”

Robert Hainsey on Tom Brady’s tirade at the Bucs’ O line on Sunday

Hainsey, who took over the starting role after Pro Bowler Ryan Jensen injured his knee early in training camp, said there are no hard feelings and welcomes feedback because that’s what they need to improve.

“I love learning from him,” Hainsey said. “He has so much knowledge about the game that any time I can use his brain and figure out what he wants and how he sees things, that’s a really cool opportunity for me. I like that a lot.”

The Bucs had three of the five offensive linemen selected to go to the Pro Bowl last year — Jensen, left guard Ali Marpet and right tackle Tristan Wirfs — with the group considered the backbone of the team. Marpet retired this offseason. Their former right guard, Alex Cappa, who was named a Pro Bowl backup, signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency. Not only is Hainsey, a converted right tackle from Notre Dame, seeing his first NFL action, but rookie left guard Luke Goedeke, also a converted right tackle, from central Michigan. The Bucs traded for right guard Shaq Mason, who played with Brady before.

The Bucs’ pass blocking success rate fell from 57.9% in 2021 to 49.7% in 2022, according to ESPN Statistics & Information research. Brady has only been sacked nine times this year — tied for third in the NFL — but he needs to get the ball out even faster than in the past to protect himself.

If there’s been one weakness for Brady throughout his career, it’s handling pressure down the middle, which only amplifies the struggles for the Bucs offensive line this year. Goedeke gave up five sacks, tied for third in the NFL among guards. His 32 first presses are the most dropped at his post and his pass block success rate of 78.2% is the second worst among guards. Hainsey also fell on hard times. He gave up just one sack, but his first six dropped presses are tied for second among centers and his 88.2% pass blocking success rate is tied for fifth among centers.

Coach Todd Bowles was asked on Monday if the coaching staff were considering making any personnel changes, but he said it would be up to the coaching staff to help their current group of five improve.

“Well, we’ve got the guys we’ve got and we’re happy with them. We just have to be better in terms of the game,” Bowles said. “We have to execute better. It’s always a guy here and a guy there – whether it’s Luke or someone else on the offensive line, or a ball outside and we miss a block here and there, or someone swims us in and gets by and makes him look worse than he is. He’s a different guy every play.

“We have to be more detailed as coaches. We have to be more efficient as players. It’s a group effort. If we have to change some things from an attacking point of view, we will. If we have to do something from the players’ point of view, we will also take a look at it. We try to find the best solution, how we can improve in these areas.”
