My school was 90 percent white, but 90 percent of the kids I played with were black. So I got the best of both worlds. I think that is where my comedy developed.
I mean, I'm very serious with my kids about them comprehending the intricacies of global finance.
I've always been the goofy kid. Growing up, I always enjoyed the comedic aspect of relating to women. Even on camera, it was always the funny take on it.
The big thing I tell my kids is you have to control how you label things. It's very important to me they understand the power they have to create the lives that they want.
There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?
The only thing I might be worried about is the kids being satisfied after beating Garber.
We thought this is a great way to start some real connections, to have kids on the same bell schedule.
We were told he had leukemia, so we started talking to the kids about what that meant and what his prognosis was, and what he was going to have to do. So many of them kept saying they wanted to do something.
We didn't handle the pressure very well. And then they hit big free throws down the stretch and we missed some - that really was the game. But I think our kids learned a lot about ball pressure.
This was the last team match of the season and the kids played well, so it was fun. The kids had a great season and played some good golf.
We got a good lead on them and the kids played real hard. We had kind of a lull there in the second quarter, which is typical, and let them back in. But we worked hard in the third quarter and built it back up and kept it up.
We were one game away from being in the final four. I thought our kids played with intensity and heart, and they never gave up.
We don't see any of these girls gripe when the (referee's) call doesn't go their way. This team right here? These are talented kids. And this is what happens when you have talented kids with character.
You hope your kids are thinking, 'Hey, those other guys aren't much faster than me. I can do this,' ... Maybe we don't have any state-ranked teams in our conference this season, but we sure can have a fun meet.
