As long as you can stop the running game, you have a chance. They can throw for 400 yards, but if they can't run the ball, you have a good chance. Someone's going to drop the ball or you'll get a knockdown on third down. Stopping the run comes first. As long as we can do that, we'll be successful.

Those of us whose parenting style can be described as "a series of reflexes, instincts, and minute-by-minute adjustments," as Julie of A Little Pregnant puts it, rather than as a philosophy, are less invested in our own practices.

Carl von Clausewitz

It is paltry philosophy if in the old-fashioned way one lays down rules and principles in total disregard of moral values . As soon as these appear one regards them as exceptions, which gives them a certain scientific status, and thus makes them into rules. Or again one may appeal to genius , which is above all rules; which amounts to admitting that rules are not only made for idiots , but are idiotic in themselves.
