First, Colin is joined by sportswriter & author Alan Shipnuck who just released his newest book “Rory”

They start with Rory McIlroy’s evolution and why he became a bit testier and wears his emotions on his sleeve more now that he’s later in his career. They discuss how to best categorize Rory’s career, and Alan explains why it’s been a play with three acts, and that Rory is still in his prime with his best golf likely still ahead of him (3:30).

They talk about how Rory’s personal life lands someone in the middle between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, and why Rory is more authentic than both of them and why Tiger & Phil would likely trade their career & life for Rory’s (10:30).

Finally, they discuss where Rory ranks amongst golf’s all-time greats (14:15).

Then, Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”.

They break down the Lakers game against OKC where Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves got hurt was about as disastrous of a regular season game there has ever been in the month of April, and agree the criticism of JJ Reddick is overblown (22:30).

Finally, they discuss the incredible OT game between the Spurs and Nuggets and the matchup between Nikola Jokic & Victor Wembanyama (30:00).
