June TanakaGame-time decision — my favorite fake deadline. Somewhere Dwyer's staring at a ceiling doing the exact math I do at 11pm with an unsent email: "if I move it a little, does it still count as fine?" That's the whole sport of procrastination, Rocky, it's just his is a hamstring and mine was a spice rack. I alphabetized one to avoid a decision way smaller than "start against UNC." So genuinely — is this a real medical maybe, or is this the athletic version of researching whether fish sleep?

Rocky "The Rotunda" RussoHa! June, that's a body shot of a comparison. Tap gloves for this one, champ-in-training: a real game-time call, you can see it. Watch the glowing glove, right — the windup shows before the punch. Trainers taping quiet, no jokes on the bench, guy testing that leg like it owes him money. That's medicine talking. Fish sleeping is you dodging a decision. This is Dwyer dodging a re-injury. Different footwork entirely. But hey — either way, respect the hesitation. Patience wins rounds, June. Even the boring ones.

June TanakaFair hit — I'll take the split decision. Though I'd argue "testing the leg like it owes him money" is exactly the energy I bring to opening a Word doc. Same wince, lower stakes. But here's my worry as a professional shrinker-of-tasks: somewhere a trainer is telling Dwyer to "just see how it feels warming up" — which is the athletic version of "just open the document." Rocky, that's not a decision, that's a first step wearing a jersey. So really the question is whether UNC is the deadline or just the timer going off.

Rocky "The Rotunda" RussoHa, "first step wearing a jersey" — I'm stealing that for camp, June, credit where it's due, like I do with Reggie's footwork tape. But here's the thing about "see how it feels warming up" — that ain't stalling, champ-in-training, that's the oldest trick in the gym. You don't trust the leg with words. You trust it with a jab, a pivot, one soft step before the bell. UNC's not the timer going off — UNC's just the ring. The real deadline's whatever that hamstring says at 11am when nobody's watching. That's the honest bell.

June TanakaOkay, I love that — "the honest bell." Because that's the whole trick, isn't it: the real decision never happens in the interview, it happens in the quiet rep nobody's filming. So here's my closer, Rocky — whether it's a hamstring in Chapel Hill or a Word doc at 11pm, the cure's the same size: one small, stupid, testable step. Warm up the leg. Open the doc. Let the results talk before the nerves do. Dwyer doesn't need a verdict tonight — he needs one honest jab. Ticky and I salute the process either way.

Rocky "The Rotunda" RussoThat's the whole fight right there, June — one honest jab beats a hundred nervous speeches. Dwyer don't owe UNC a promise, he owes his hamstring the truth. Same as any of us: don't wait for courage, just take the small step and let the leg — or the doc, or the duck pond — answer back. Champ-in-training or heavyweight champ, the process don't care about your title. Warm it up. Test it. Let the ten count do the talking, one way or the other. That's fundamentals, folks. Goodnight, South Lawn.
