Over the last few decades, Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) have become something of a staple for startups. OKRs are the goal-setting framework that has propelled companies like Intel, Uber, Amazon, LinkedIn, and many more to success. Think of a tech startup, and chances are they use OKRs. And in the world of OKRs, there’s one name that reigns supreme: John Doerr. The author of Measure What Matters, Doerr was taught this framework by its original creator and CEO of Intel, Andy Grove. He’s… Source link

Tom Brady is back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but we still don’t quite know what caused him to miss 11 days of training camp (unless you’re still convinced by “The Masked Singer” theory). Brady, for his part, doesn’t seem interested in enlightening the public on what happened, and that continued on Saturday after the Bucs’ preseason finale against the Indianapolis Colts. Asked about the absence during his postgame news conference, Brady’s answer was at least honest in spirit. Brady’s full… Source link

The Seattle Mariners know how to get in the spirit of “Ichiro Weekend.” With Ichiro Suzuki slated to enter the Mariners’ Hall of Fame on Saturday, the team made a whole weekend out of the occasion and started it on Friday by bringing back one of their most famous fans, “Ichiro Girl,” a.k.a. Iris Skinner. Skinner found viral fame in 2010 during a game against the New York Yankees, when Suzuki accidentally struck her in the face while trying to catch a foul ball in the right-field stands.

Things were going quite well for Nebraska on Saturday, but it took just one decision from coach Scott Frost to cause all of those good vibes to vanish. After falling behind Northwestern 17-14 at halftime, Nebraska scored twice in a 28-second span to flip that three-point deficit into a 28-17 lead with 9:09 remaining in the third quarter. Nebraska’s defense had already forced a punt and a fumble in the early part of the second half, so surely the Huskers would kick it deep and let the defense… Source link

A female Duke volleyball player was repeatedly called a racial slur during her match against BYU on Friday night, according to the player’s godmother. “My Goddaughter is the only black starter for Dukes volleyball team,” Lesa Pamplin tweeted on Saturday. “While playing yesterday, she was called a [racial slur] every time she served. She was threatened by a white male that told her to watch her back going to the team bus. A police officer had to be put by their bench.” “Not one freaking adult… Source link

New season, same Nebraska. Nebraska’s miserable 3-9 record in 2021 included an impressively bad 0-8 mark in one-score games. To start off the 2022 campaign, the Huskers added another one-score loss to Scott Frost’s resume. In a brutal 31-28 loss to Northwestern on Saturday in Ireland, Nebraska blew two double-digit leads. The Huskers jumped out to a 14-3 lead in the first half and then again went ahead by 11 in the third quarter. But Frost’s team never scored again as Northwestern stormed… Source link

Beer and other concessions were free at Aviva Stadium at the Northwestern-Nebraska game in Dublin, Ireland, because all the credit card machines were down. And because the venue doesn’t accept cash and the machines can’t connect to Wi-Fi, workers at the game gave away as much as they could. How’s this for some Irish hospitality? The Omaha World-Herald, which was covering the event on-site, wrote that people were given “as many as he or she could carry in a cardboard drink carrier. One man… Source link
