Chris Wallace's Resume Leaked!

Griz Owner Michael Heisley resigned General Manager Chris Wallace, and it's no wonder why. Says Heisley, "I feel he's done a decent job." And if wasn't enough, Wallace recently reworked his resume to highlight some of his achievements.


An anonymous source close to the organization sent us Wallace's resume, pasted below, with Wallace's contact information removed. As you can see, Wallace's list of accomplishments is a clear indication that he's the best candidate for the job.

You have to give Chris Wallace some credit despite all of the criticism that has been directed at him over the years. He's trying to do his job even though he's working for an incompetent owner in Michael Heisley, who is not even a basketball person that knows the sport best.

All I can give Wallace credit for are the results he produces. 0 playoff wins in 3 years just to highlight 1 (unless you're counting 2 Laker championships).

Although I will give him credit for some amusing banter on the Chris Vernon show. All is not lost.

None of ESPN's experts think we will keep Rudy - what are your thoughts on the eve of free agency?
