“(W)e have come to know Mike Polisky for always putting the best interest of Northwestern ahead of his personal interests,” it says. “Mike never takes credit when things go well, and always steps forward when things don’t go as planned. He conducts himself with professionalism, respect, and the utmost integrity; a level of integrity we all wish we had the luxury of having ourselves. Most importantly, he treats everyone who works at or plays for Northwestern as if they are a part of his own family.”
The interior of the Crawfords’ unit was designed by Kelly Hurliman. It makes up half the building’s top floor and has a private elevator entry, 4-1/2 bathrooms, a kitchen with quartzite countertops and Wolf appliances, a living room with built-ins, a custom honed marble fireplace, a private office, a home gym, a walk-through pantry, a back kitchen and an 850-square-foot private terrace. The second level has a primary bedroom suite with two large custom walk-in closets.
“Any time you can be at the top of the division and be on a nice streak like we are right now, it’s about as good as it gets,” Cease said. “These games are huge. And those teams, it’s never easy, so when you walk away with a win, you feel accomplished. There’s really no better feeling in the world.”
“The COVID stuff has impacted everybody a little bit differently, but I think anytime you talk to any of the players, at least here, that have dealt with it, it takes awhile to get back,” coach Billy Donovan said. “I’m absolutely amazed. He’s got a few games under his belt and — you can still see he does get a little bit winded, which is natural — but for him to get back to that level … what he did was incredible tonight.”
Bears coach Matt Nagy is among the guests slated to appear on the show. Los Angeles Chargers coach Brandon Staley, the former Bears outside linebackers coach, will also appear, as will announcers Jim Nantz, Al Michaels and Joe Buck, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David and Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker.
“Sometimes the best lessons we learn are moments like that, that don’t work out for us,” Ross said. “He attacked (Hernández) with his best pitch and I love that. … Pitch sequencing and calling, all that stuff can always be second-guessed if it doesn’t work out, but I think if he executes a nice slider there, it’s a different story.
“He’s a player we’re pretty familiar with. I’ve had the chance to watch him play quite a bit. He’s a very intriguing prospect with the potential. Certainly the goal is you want to translate that potential into reality, but he’s a big kid (6-foot-3, 199 pounds), he’s got great skills, can be a dynamic offensive player and he brings the size, skill, skating.”
