LeVar Burton

And especially when I was competing, I didn't want to put that into kind of my whole little situation.

And...

I didn't want another mouth defeat as well, like you say.

If there was that, my dad surely would have shot it down.

He was so proud of me.

He was the kind of guy that, you know, on the movie Friday Night Lights, I had to ask him not to come to football practice.

Really?

Well, he wanted to show up and sit in the stands with the other fathers and shoot the shit, you know, especially when I was a starter.

But he didn't miss a game.

And so, I mean, he's the kind of guy, it doesn't matter.

You know, he and I were good buddies in high school.

And, you know, we were best friends, you know, when I was growing up.

Genes or not, or blood or not, he was my father, and he would tell everybody that.

And I think everybody in town knew.

270.

Well, do you suppose he was getting congratulated because of that or because he tricked the man and got out early?

It looks like you won the Stanley Cup.

It's a whiteout.

We sit around and blame the people who came before us and say, oh, they just didn't plan this city well enough.

Because they're not losing money because of it.
