Listening to Barry Trotz remember his great days with former assistant coach Brent Peterson, who recently succumbed to Parkinson’s disease. I loved Brent and will miss him greatly. Nashville will be so different without him. Rest well my friend!

There are very few events that truly change the entire world. September 11th, 2001 was one of those unthinkable/horrible/catastrophic events that needs to be recognized for what it was. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those who lost their loved ones, as well as the lives lost afterwards through the endless wars and fight against global terrorism!

What’s the point of doing anything if it’s easy? It’s so much more valuable when a challenge has to be overcome.

There are simply not enough words to describe the love and respect I have for this man. Chris Berman is an incredible television personality and even a finer human being. His heart is bigger than his voice and physical presence. So great to be reunited with him in Sun Valley!

My wife Tracie and I met Dolly Parton at a benefit in January, 2020. After taking a photo with her backstage, she pulled me aside to ask me about my health. Her heart for others sets her apart, and her passing leaves a hole in our world. Rest in peace Dolly.
