It's not just television. It's television, games and recreational use of the computer. Our hope is that before the week is over [people] don't go back to four, five, six hours in front of a screen.

The most debased forms of mass diversion - video games and violent television dramas and juvenile sitcoms - turn out to be nutritional after all,

Last year, we were able to get all the games on television.

For everybody who does what I do, you hope you have life beyond network television, and DVD provides that. It's television's equivalent of immortality: You get to stay on retail shelves and in home libraries.

It would be easy to sit back and hope the season was finished but it's not. We have two games left and we owe it to the fans and to ourselves to do our very best.

I hope to field my strongest team for these two games because it is vital we win them.
