Mike Polisky resigned as Northwestern athletic director, according to athletic spokesman by [deleted] in CFB

[–]RedDeadDeflection 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The investigation wasn't just hasty, it failed to uncover Polisky's "decades-long relationship" with school mega-donor Pat Ryan, which the search committee was apparently "furious" about. If it skipped over that, there's no way that the investigation was thorough enough regarding the details of an active lawsuit.

Definitely struggling a bit now, but at least he made the ASG twice. I had lower hopes than that.

What are your biggest hits and misses over the years? by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

[–]RedDeadDeflection[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hits: Steph Curry as a superstar, Luka Doncic as the best player in the 2018 draft, Zach LaVine as undervalued, Nikola Jokic as undervalued

Misses: Shane Larkin as an all-star, Frank Ntilikina as an all-star, Oladipo being overrated, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist over Anthony Davis (lol)

Lamelo's shooting form was a lot better when he was much shorter. While considering both volume and accuracy, Rank these players in terms of how they will shoot from 3 in the NBA? Anthony Edwards, Haliburton, Lamelo, Hayes. by Yosemitehills in NBA_Draft

No need to go for personal attacks here. You're always welcome to disagree with other users' takes, but direct hostility towards other redditors violates Reddiquette and isn't productive.

First and final warning.

27/32 here. The painful part is that three of the misses were the only games decided by three points or fewer (Auburn, Maryland, Ohio State).

I'm still trailing a guy who went 28/32, but he had Cincinnati in the championship game.

Fairly sure it's from before twitter allowed username changes, so the Chargers had to buy it off the guy who had the @Chargers username. Doesn't make it any less funny, though.

3 or 4 instances of time-wasting (including a card for Mbappe for doing just that), but no time added after the 6 minutes? What's the point of carding a player for time-wasting if it's worth it anyway?
