Bill Belichick

That was how I dealt with, I think, turning 40.

Mitch Albom's book, Tuesdays with Maury, was a great perspective check.

The idea is we all get one ride from cradle to grave.

And the goal is to keep the grave part from happening as long as possible.

And to live every moment, every year, get the most out of everything that we do.

And so, I don't care.

40 bothered me, more than 60.

The only one that bothered me really was 23.

Because you spend your whole life getting older and looking forward to something.

I can drive when I'm 16, I can vote when I'm 18, I can drink when I'm 21.

You get to 22, you're still 21.

You get to 23 and it's like...

there's really no other number to aspire to.

There's no other good number out there.

I would argue 25 just because you can rent a car without paying the extra surcharge.

That'd be my number.

But I agree.

I see what you're doing there, Mike.

I definitely agree with that.

Speaking of waiting a while to get somewhere, you say that at the same time, I saw Mike McCarthy's introductory press conference for the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team that I covered when they hired Mike Tomlin.
