TV was the boogey man when I was growing up. Video games are the boogey man now. The novel was once a boogey man.

This killing of Israel athletes is an act of war. And if there's one place that war doesn't belong, it's here. 1200 years. From 776 B.C. to 393 A.D., your fellow Olympians laid down their arms to take part in these games. They understood there was more honor in out running a man than in killing him.

In my first year at Dallas my (then 11-year old) son Avery Jr., said, "You know daddy, you're still the best coach in the NBA." I was like, "But I haven't won a playoff game yet."

It's cool. You can laugh about it, but at the same time you can't really get caught up in it because you're here for a job and it's to win football games.

You can laugh and giggle about stuff, but then at the same time you've got to make sure you're prepared and practicing hard still.

There are certain ways, narrative forms, that do not function as a continuation, for example, of 3D movies.
