Happy Jordan Burroughs Day! (2/22)

If you listened to our podcast, we spoke about having a Jordan Burroughs Day. Richard Immel made the observation that 2/22 was upcoming. What better day than 2/22 to celebrate the greatest athlete in the world than the date filled with doubles? Well here we go! Please tweet #jordanburroughsday and celebrate the living legend who is the best on and off the mat!

Jorand Burroughs is a 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist and 3-time Freestyle World Champion. He is also a 2-time NCAA Wrestling Champion for Nebraska and a great husband and father to one son and another baby on the way. When your wife walks down the aisle in your wrestling shoes, you got a keeper. 

Here's a video of Iranians going nuts for him. Yes, a Black American from New Jersey being celebrated like he's a Beatle in the 60's because Iran's national sport is Wrestling, and they know the best wrestler in the world is in front of them.
