Any time you can get the ball back to the offense and they put points on the board, you can win games.
If you aim for parody right off the bat and it misses, no offense to the filmmakers, but it is Meet the Spartans.
My earnestness at the injustices I witnessed when I was writing 'Random Family' may have been my gravest reportorial offense during the early years of reporting. When I discuss the book with students, they often ask me how I could 'stand by' in the face of so much suffering; the egregiousness wasn't my powerlessness but my surprise.
Before holding elective office - 12 years in the Wyoming House of Representatives and 18 years in the U.S. Senate - I served a different type of time. I was on probation for a federal offense committed as a teenager.
If it is a first offense, you ground them and have a talk. The second offense would call for counseling.
You're never trying to have three-and-outs; I don't care what offense you're playing.
I felt like the Germans were being mean to me at training, but they were actually just trying to help. I learned really quick - which made me a better player. I'm appreciative of the way they treated me. It's just the language and, of course, as an American, I had to learn that. No offense to them; I love them to death, and I love my teammates.
Anytime that anyone can create some explosive plays, get first downs, we're going to have more plays on offense.
It's tough when you get beat. You have to be able to come back mentally. Sometimes the offense is going to win, but you have to be able to be level-headed and not get too upset when they do catch the ball.
I like playmakers, man, if it's a playmaker on defense or offense, just a guy who is going to put up some points, a guy who's going to be able to change the game.
