“We've got a pretty close family. Just ended fourteen years of travel hockey with two boys. My daughter was always a part of that. So there's a lot of trips to the hockey games. As I tell idiotic, stupid, youth-sport parents, it's about the drive there and the drive back, not about the trophy or how your kid played. We've always had a good relationship with our kids. You're driving with them and talking to them at the age of eight. It became this adventure and they learned to love it. You connect, you really do. It's not for every family.” YearsTwoKidsAgeGamesSportsParentTalkingBoysStupidYouthAdventureDaughterEightDrivingMy DaughterHockeyFourteenTrophiesIdioticGood RelationshipYouth SportsClose Family Author:Jeff Daniels
“I think Chris Paul is a great player. He is very unselfish and plays very hard, so he would be a guy if he plays. I think his hand is still questionable, though. I hear they are talking about resting him that weekend. I'm excited to play with all the guys. Marvin Williams is starting to play well, and Salim Stoudamire, I think he should be there.” IfsThinkingShouldWellsStillsHardPlayHandsWould BeGuySportsTalkingPlayerStartingExcitedWeekendUnselfishQuestionableMarvin Author:Andrew Bogut

“But I think a life of raising prize cattle, going shooting two or three times a year, fishing in the summer, and interspersing the whole thing with some golf and bridge - and whenever I felt like talking or writing, doing it with abandon and with no sense of responsibility whatsoever - maybe such a life wouldn't be so bad.” ThinkingWritingYearsTwoWholeThreeFeltSportsResponsibilityTalkingSummerGolfShootingBridgesFishingPrizeAbandonThree TimesCattleSense Of Responsibility Author:Dwight D.
