I was a Panthers fan growing up, being close to Carolina.

Any football player will tell you that in July you get this dark cloud over you if you know camp's coming.

My dad and I shared a lot of football memories.

There was a time when I was injured and playing really bad and cut, rightfully so, that I wasn't sure what my future in football was.

I readily concede that a prime minister is not required to speak on every occasion or on every subject, but when there is a duty to speak, silence is unacceptable. Silence can be a strategy, silence can be a tactic, but silence can never be an answer to the ills of our polity and the fault lines of our society.

I fantasize that our politicians have been moved by the dialogues of Plato, and thus contemplate the ancient conflict of the sophists versus the lovers of truth.

There are no client conflicts, only bad explanations.

Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation.
