don't sweat the technique

Roger Federer says he lost the 2008 Wimbledon final at the very first point, not in the darkness of the fifth set.

"But looking back, I feel like I lost at the very first point of the match."

"I looked across the net and I saw a guy who just a few weeks earlier crushed me in straight sets at the French Open and I thought, this guy is maybe hungrier than I am. And he's finally got my number."

"It took me until the third set before I remembered..."

"Some defeats hurt more than others. I knew I would never get another shot at six in a row."

"I lost Wimbledon, I lost my number one ranking, and suddenly people said, he had a great run. Is this the changing of the guard?"

The five-time defending champion, on his best surface, spent two sets playing against a thought he carried onto the court from Paris. The reset, when it finally comes, is worth hearing in his own voice.

The lesson: your attention picks a story before your effort gets a vote. Check the story you are carrying into the first point of whatever you start today.

John Turturro showed up to the first two games of the NBA Finals in San Antonio & I’m using it as a reminder to every last one of you that Turturro is one of the best fucking actors alive. I would stand in front of a bus for this man: all this guy ever does is act his ass off.

Heath Ledger was so good that people overlooked Tom Hardy’s performance in The Dark Knight Rises. Yet he said people didn’t like his casting.

“I read the comments and I cried. Bat-fans want me to be over 220 pounds. 400 pounds. I'm like dude. I’m human.”

Coach Daigneault and Sam Presti have definitely earned my respect. But let’s be honest, a lot of NBA fans just aren’t feeling or vibing with the Thunder. One title over a banged-up Pacers team and suddenly they’re talking like a dynasty. The 73-9 Warriors and 90s Bulls comparisons? Yikes. Throw in the foul baiting and constant complaining and it is no surprise they are starting to wear thin with fans. It is not hate, it's just hard to root for a team that acts that way.
