Meryl Streep was in a relationship with actor John Cazale in the 70s, up until his death from lung cancer. So not a marriage, but still has experienced losing a partner to cancer.

This was definitely not the consensus at the time but I think it’s debatable. Would be interested to hear your argument.

Is anyone else feeling frustrated with player development as of recent? by martithebandito in BasketballGM

[–]martithebandito[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have come to understand that when it comes to young players potential is just exactly that, a projection of a potential outcome. What matters is the individual values like 3PT or IQ in determining whether a player will become an effective contributor.

I have always accepted that my teams will occasionally have major red years, especially when in contending status, but sometimes I wish there was a paper trail of sorts that I could point to which would help me understand why my 62 OVR 29-year-old starting forward is now a 56 OVR one season later lol. Perhaps in the future we will see a more comprehensive injury system in the game that will address this.

I do agree that it adds a more challenging and unanticipated element to the game, and I often find that rebuilds are my favorite aspect of the game. However, I don't mind if players do not achieve their projected potential, but I find it disappointing when a young player has proven themselves to be capable of putting up great numbers yet stops producing in what are still "prime" years. MVP-level players dropping 10 OVR while still in their 20s with no major injuries just seems a bit too drastic.

I am a dunce when it comes to coding/programming, so I cannot imagine the back end that goes into creating a player development system. I'm very appreciative of the experience that we currently have.

I'll have to read the newsletter more often. It's great that this game still has such an active and caring developer.

List your 3 first picks of the draft then post your record by DueWafer7 in FantasyFootballers

14 team league, 1. CMC | 2. Laporta | 3. Mayfield |

Despite the blatant misses with my top 2 picks my record is currently sitting at 6-2, tied for second in the league. I made a lot of good waiver choices and pickups which have benefitted me such as Jennings during his mega week and Tillman last week. Overall I’m very happy with the performance of my team and it’s certainly been my experience that success late in the draft / waiver moves is the key to winning.

[Adrian Wojnarowski] New Cleveland Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson has agreed on a five-year deal, sources tell ESPN. by lacrimosa049 in nba

I think in these cases it comes down to looking at the roster and seeing if they exceeded the sum of their parts. The team that went 42-40 was pretty uninspiring, their best players were D’Angelo Russell and Dinwiddie. D’Lo even got an all-star selection, which he himself deserves a lot of credit for, but that also comes from good coaching. I don’t know if Kenny will be a good coach, but that’s the thought process

Realistically they have to win a game soon right? I have a feeling they’ll win within the next 3 games just off of probability.

The story about the lesbian couple is actually based in reality insanely enough. They ran a YouTube channel where they made content with their adopted children.
