You did not tell me what you are doing athletically just now but I do hope that if your arm comes along next spring you can get it in good shape to try out for the pitching spot on the varsity. However, if you don't make it then I suggest you take up golf which after all is the best game of all of them.
Jerry Krause said organizations win championships. I said, "I didn't see organizations playing with the flu in Utah."
Not only do I have a great love for the game of golf, no matter how badly I play it, but I have also the belief that through every kind of meeting, through every kind of activity to which we can bring together more often and more intimately peoples of our several countries, by that measure we will do something to solve the difficulties and the tensions that this poor old world seems nowadays to so much endure.
Can I still dunk... Are you stupid?
It's hard to think you're driving up and down the field every time, getting to the red zone, and you just can't get the ball in. It gets frustrating.

Probably no one here knows I coached a football team, a service team, playing against Georgetown. I think it was in the fall of 1924 Lou Little was your coach, and he beat us. But it was a very happy circumstance, because it brought me the friendship of another man, Lou Little, who to this day remains my very warm associate and friend.
But I noted with real satisfaction how well ex-footballers seemed to have leadership qualifications. I believe that football, perhaps more than any other sport, tends to instill in men the feeling that victory comes through hard, almost slavish, work, team play, self-confidence, and an enthusiasm that amounts to dedication.
I was in Chicago in 1994 and at this time I had no thoughts of coming back and playing the game of basketball, Bryon Russell came over to me and said, "Why'd you quit? You know I could guard you." When I did come back in 1995 and we played Utah in'96, I'm at the center circle and Bryon Russell is standing next to me. I said, "You remember what you said in 1994 about, 'I think I can guard you, I can shut you down, I would love to play against you? ' Well, you're about to get your chance."
The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf. It's almost a law.
