What I learned from my kids is that the greatest joy in life is not from material trappings, power, or visibility. The greatest joy comes from your kids. Nothing is even close to my kids in terms of bringing me joy.
Thanksgiving was nothing more than a pilgrim-created obstacle in the way of Christmas; a dead bird in the street that forced a brief detour.
We have 40 people over for Thanksgiving, 30 people for Easter lunch, 35 people on Christmas Eve. People tend to expect to spend their holidays with us, which is lovely and an expectation I carry with pride.
Live a life full of humility, gratitude, intellectual curiosity, and never stop learning.
Those who always have a sense of appreciation and gratitude never reach an impasse in life.
Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin... to have my name up there with those types of guys is a blessing and a humbling feeling.
Every day I pull into that parking spot that says 'Head Football Coach,' I get out of my car and pinch myself sometimes, just to make sure it's real, sort of like, 'Is this really happening?'
Congratulations to 'Countdown' - it was an evening I will never forget - and a special thank you to Molly Meldrum.
All I want to do is make my mother incredibly proud. That's all I've ever wanted to do.
But who cares? I can honestly look back and realize that everything happened for a reason. Everything that fell apart has fallen back into place beautifully and magically.
It is a dark, dark world. If you're going to be in a dark world, I can't think of any better one to be in. I still think I'm very lucky to be in it.
