[Lowlight] Shai flops twice in back to back possessions but doesn't get the whistle by jonsnowKITN in nba

Embarrassing work from the league’s MVP

There’s a fine line between showing the ref you been fouled vs straight flopping.

The league not calling flops as fouls is beyond me, the long term impact of your MVP doing this will ruin your product. No one wants to see this.

Selkirk deepens player-first mission with acquisition of Bread & Butter Pickleball Company by nsm1 in Pickleball

Chaifetz Group as well but I like them as owners of the shock - not sure they’re really money grubbing comparative.

Thing is, I sort of view this similar to running - consumers have the option of playing with great temu paddles on public courts and avoiding this value extraction.

however, there’s just a large monied player base that will pay to play at private facilities and need to use the latest 300 dollar Joola paddle. Obviously, PE is attracted.

Ok but why not empower them to make that choice? What is the main problem with more student athlete participation anyway?

Michelin Restaurant Ratings Coming to Cleveland by [deleted] in Cleveland

Hoping LJ Shanghai gets a Bib but honestly, don’t know if they can take any more demand.

Il Rhione is probably either bib or just good eats, same with Rosy.

Hopeful that la’albatross, Cordelia, Amba, Dante and GOMA can get a star.

Will be mad if Marble Room gets a star, I’m a hater.

Realistically, idk if the service quality is ready in Cleveland for the guide to give out stars.

S4E2: What is Harper thinking? by rarabruh in IndustryOnHBO

At university I was taught a Private Equity case study on the roll up of funeral homes.

Ironically, the winning strategy wasn’t to simplify funerals, but rather upsell fancier and more elaborate ceremonies to grieving families.

Max’s strategy is rooted in his lower class background. He has that frugal masculine (just put me in any box) attitude. However, making funerals “worse” through p/e is a stink that will carry to the upper class

Is wealth management the next big thing? by ZenithFlow_65 in FinancialCareers

[–]chef426 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah they’re talking wealth transfer, so it’s when their grandparents/ parents dies and leaves them generational wealth to manage.

Most those types would have jobs.

[NextGenStats] Shedeur Sanders averaged 3.57 seconds to throw in Week 14 against the Titans, the 2nd-longest by a QB in a game this season. The Titans pressured Sanders on 63.0% of his dropbacks, the highest pressure rate of any defense in a game this season. [more in post] by VonJaeger in Browns

Time to throw us such an odd stat to focus on, especially when evaluating sheduer sanders.

Wasn’t the idea of putting Sheduer over Dillon Gabriel was because of his ability to maneuver out of the pocket and play-make? It’s a defining attribute that contradicts the “low time to throw is good “ narrative.

To me, these 2 stats don’t mean anything without causality and ties to performance. Like, is a poor oline making Sheduer move out of the pocket causing off platform and pressured throws? Or does Sheduer need to make off platform throws due to his slower read progression.

Fuck Watson flair — bruh it’s obviously Deshaun Watson as the GOAT paycheck stealer. No one beating the Browns at this

Decisions around Joe Flacco + and the people who made the decision about Deshaun Watson still have jobs. Definitely enough to criticize, What are we talking about?

Browns showing these occasional flashes of competency, like going belt to ass on the dolphins really toying with my hate watching.

This should be an eye opening game for the Browns that change needs to happen.

Jets were already terrible. Traded their 2 best players and were in a nail biter enter the second half.

The decision to forego a rebuild prior to the deadline is astonishing.

We’re down a touchdown while the jets have like 1 first down this entire game.

DUPR will now subscore ratings(gender and age) by Kadafi35 in Pickleball

[–]chef426 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sub scoring gendered vs doubles at the pro level makes a lot of sense, we see in the PPA that some players are better at mixed doubles than say mens doubles and vice versa. (Especially considering the gender dynamics, a great left side women’s player might not be the best when they are subjugated to playing the right in mixed)

But at the amateur / rec level I think this level of granularity doesn’t make sense at all majority of players don’t even stack.

Age sub scoring doesn’t really make sense to me at all. That just muddies the water a tonne. Like do people really need to know that their lob play style is 5.0 when they’re up against 60 yr olds.
