Popular kids are just a powerful union of needy, insecure losers.
Our culture places a very high premium on self-expression, but is relatively disinterested in producing "selves" that are worth expressing.
I think there's something about the homemade birthday cake, because my wife, on my daughter's first birthday, started the tradition where she takes a full cake and cuts the number birthday out of it.
I consider myself a line drive hitter with power. I just try to put my best swing on the ball every time.
I love baseball. I love watching baseball. As a broadcaster, I get to watch the best 700 players put on the uniform year after year. That, to me, is exciting.
PGA of America has been very good to me; played some of the Junior Ryder Cups, and those go down as some of the best experiences I've had on a golf course.
It takes having your golf peak four different times throughout the year. You have to like all four golf courses. You've got to be the best of that week for the four weeks.

One thing about championship teams is that they're resilient. No matter what is thrown at them, no matter how deep the hole, they find a way to bounce back and overcome adversity.
Inevitably you're going to be delayed somewhere. Always have a book. Always have a movie. Always have a notebook. And then always have a sense of humour.
I had the opportunity to go with some other teams. But I didn't consider those teams to be contenders, and I was right.
My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid.
Some other things I don't miss: the media and the pressure of just being asked to do, and being asked questions every day.
You hear about how many fourth quarter comebacks that a guy has and I think it means a guy screwed up in the first three quarters.
Nobody really wants to hear about anybody else's injuries. Or how your back feels. Whose back doesn't hurt?
Everyone should play like Adrian Peterson. This guy does everything full speed. Pro Bowl - promoting himself for MVP.
As a designer, you have to think in time and see things in sequence. You have to see information as a narrative form - Paul Mijksenaar quoted by Kim Baer
