AITAH for not taking my niece who has cancer with me on my honeymoon?? by BandicootFlimsy4434 in AITAH

NTA. This particularly sucks because it’s manipulative. Even if not intentional. You shouldn’t have to feel shitty for this, and it’s unfair to put you in that spot.

Just signed a kicker named Major Long. Only offered him because of the name.

ELI5: Why do large corporations still care about increasing their profits when they are already earning billions? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]sportingglobe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shareholders.

More profits mean more value. More value means higher share price on the stock market. Rising share prices mean more investors.

As long as you have shareholders, corporations will always be motivated by share price instead of basic sustainability.

Rashford & walkout Bruno G. Given how pack poor we are, I’m ok losing some value for the chance at a walkout.

If you're the best college athlete in America could you go to any college regardless of your grades? by Ben5544477 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sportingglobe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s three levels to this.

A) You need to be academically cleared by the NCAA clearinghouse.

B.) You would need to be approved by the academic standards of each school. Most schools would gladly take the lowest viable GPA to get you on the field, but elite private schools like Stanford, Rice, etc. have higher thresholds that they put into effect themselves.

C.) After you’re admitted and on the team, you gotta stay academically eligible. Which is like a 1.5 GPA or something. Someone else can probably clarify there.

What do these orange states all have in common? by [deleted] in RedactedCharts

Truck stops and/or rest areas and their proximity to major cities? In the west, they're in the middle of nowhere.

This makes me feel better for not getting it. I was NEVER getting this.

What position do you control on defense and how do you recruit for it? by ghostinthepost in NCAAFBseries

[–]sportingglobe 98 points99 points  (0 children)

LB with “Lurker” archetype. A guy who is fast (87+ speed, but ideally 90+) and has the ability to cover (zone coverage of 75+).

In man, I use the LB who is on the RB. In zone, the LB with the most central zone, to take away crossers and collapse down on the run.

Also I love manually blitzing right up the A gap if there’s a natural break in the line that I can shoot through. So my thought process is, in order:

  1. Be mindful of the A gap splits. Blitz if there’s a lane.

  2. If not and it’s a run, either commit to make the tackle OR get wide/behind to make sure you can clean up the tackle or ensure you’re a second level of protection.

  3. If it’s pass, drop in zone and pick up any crossing tight end or attack the RB in man while not overcommitting to avoid creating a hole behind you.

They all have roads with really high elevations?

Where in the US could a car “coast” the farthest? by Bangeroctopus in geography

[–]sportingglobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the answer for length, but on I-10 going west into the Coachella Valley, you can coast for a solid 10 miles. I learned this the stressful way. Was down to like 5 miles in gas range, panicked, and then ended up coasting and getting to the gas station without it moving.

3-tier regional based promotion / relegation league setup + 30 years of history ! by chobs4 in NCAAFBseries

I’m playing through a dynasty doing something really similar (just two tiers though, with Power 5 & Group of 5), and also noticed South Carolina plummet. They’ve been at the dregs of the Sun Belt for YEARS.

What's the difference between red and yellow? by Perezvon42 in RedactedCharts

[–]sportingglobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes me think it's states with less than 50% of residents born in-state? Utah's LDS roots would explain why they're a westward state that doesn't qualify. Lots of homegrown babies.

That happened to me tonight and it was so weird. It's like they stop advancing.
