If I remember right this same thing happened to Bill Self a few years ago. Hoping the guy is okay through all of this.
Guys just want one thing and it’s a road trip across Route 20 from Boston, MA to Newport, OR

When Aaron Rodgers realized toilet in his & DK Metcalf's suite flushed loudly, QB told WR: "At night, if we got to piss, just don't flush the toilet." 9:30 Wednesday night, DK texted: "You asleep yet?" Aaron wasn't. "Bet. I'm about to flush the toilet." sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/fr…
Exhibition series 😴
Michigan State and UConn have agreed to a two-year exhibition series, per @JonRothstein. Wish these were regular season games, but Izzo vs Hurley is still cinema 🍿

Breaking News: NCAA D2 may soon allow 5 seasons of play, per NCAA release. The D2 Management Council has backed a proposal granting athletes 5 seasons of competition within 10 semesters — up from 4. If passed in Jan 2026, it would take effect Fall 2026. #4PT #4PlayingTime

First trailer for a new ‘WAR OF THE WORLDS’ movie set entirely on a computer screen starring Ice Cube. Releasing July 30 on Prime Video.
Prayers for Kansas coach Bill Self, who was hospitalized after experiencing “some concerning symptoms,” the school said. Self also underwent a heart procedure & is expected to make a full recovery. Self had 2 stents inserted during the procedure 🙏🏻❤️

Never saw Hulk Hogan around the community myself, but I know so many people who saw him all the time, ran into him at the grocery store or whatever. Oddly enough, I did see him driving around Orlando once.
Bad week to be an enigmatic, alliteratively named performer
