Everything I am. The process.

[Justin Spiro @DarkoStateNews]

Coach, where was ‘The Process’ born?

“At Michigan State.”

Nick Saban says a Michigan State University psychiatrist inspired his famed “process” for success.

“I’ll forever be indebted to Michigan State.”

ESPN bout to have Stephen A Smith and Pat McAfee broadcasting every hour like Rob Dyrdek Ridiculousness on MTV.

[Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi]

Karl Ravech had been with ESPN since 1993.

David Lloyd had been with ESPN since 1997.

Stephania Bell had been with ESPN since 2007.

They all apparently found out they were fired on social media and/or by a reporter calling for confirmation before being told by ESPN.

Brutal.

It seems you’re responding to implications and not what I actually said. You put a lot of thought into my laugh, which I guess is flattering.

I’m well aware of your journalistic credentials. I interned at The Inquirer when you were a columnist. I often tell young people that you became what you became because you were one of the best NBA writers in the country.

Draymond and I had a broad journalistic discussion about the relationship between players and reporters, where I used myself as an example of how doing daily television kept me at a distance from the people I was actually discussing. I didn’t mention you. I honestly wasn’t even thinking about you. That discussion wasn’t about you at all.

I didn’t say I’d been in more locker rooms than you and never implied that. You swinging at ghosts, my guy. I don’t have a problem with you. If I did, I’d tell you to your face.

Quick timeline of the takes surrounding Lakers-Rockets, with a prediction on tomorrow’s.

April 17th: “The Lakers have NO chance. They’ll be lucky not to be swept.”

April 20th: “If LeBron pulls this off I’ll call him the GOAT.”

April 22nd: “The Rockets are frauds!”

April 25th: “The Rockets are the dumbest team I’ve ever seen! Anyone would beat them!”

April 30th: “The Lakers are cooked & LeBron is exhausted. Rockets in 7.”

May 1st: “LeBron is going to blow a 3-0 lead & his GOAT case is over!”

May 2nd: “Yeah, the Lakers won, but it’s actually not that impressive, the Rockets were pretenders.”

Rory McIlroy is an investor in Whoop, wears one of the company's wristbands while playing, and allows the brand to share his data periodically.

Here are some of his Masters highlights:

• 24,000+ steps on Sunday
• 91,000+ steps during the tournament

Rory's heart rate spiked to 135 BPM during his tee shot on 18, dropped to 121 BPM during his approach shot, fell further to 105 BPM during his winning putt, and then jumped back up to 150 BPM during his celebration.

His resting heart rate for the week was 47-49 BPM.

Rory says he follows a strict routine during the PGA Tour season to ensure proper rest and recovery:

• No caffeine after 2 PM
• Last meal at least 2 hours before bed
• Magnesium and theanine for sleep quality
• Blue-light-blocking glasses in the evening
• Sauana or Epsom salt bath when available
• Cool room temperature for sleep

He follows the same three-hour routine before every round: arrive at the course → warm up in the gym → eat breakfast → hit balls on the range → putting green.

Rory says he believes his focus on longevity will help him play another 10+ years at a high level, and his physiological age on Whoop is now 1.5 years younger than his actual age.

Plus, it turned out to be a pretty good investment.

Rory initially invested in Whoop in 2020 when the company was valued at $1.2 billion. While we don't know exactly how much he invested, Whoop recently raised another round at a $10.1 billion valuation.

That's an 8.4x multiple in five years.

Not bad, not bad.

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war.

Indianapolis is an incredible big event city. Easily Top 5 most walkable cities. My hotel is connected to the media hotel, team hotels, convention center and Lucas Oil Stadium. I know the weather isn't always great but with a skywalk system this great does it really matter?

[DeMarco Monroe @MonroeDeMarco]

@CoachJLyonsPE @bigblueinsider1 Not a good look either way.

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

As @JayBilas correctly points out, there’s a lot of hypocrisy in college athletics right now.

It’s only when athletes begin to get paid that it’s necessary to have a federal law to “save college sports.”
