Maybe we adults idealize our own red-rover days, the hot afternoons spent playing games that required no coaches, eating foods that involved no nutrition, getting dirty in whole new ways and rarely glancing in the direction of a screen of any kind.

That one has to be playing in order to be playing a game seems equally implausible. When professional athletes are performing in assigned games for wages, although they are certainly playing games, we are not at all inclined to conclude from that fact that they are without qualification playing. For we think of professional athletes as working when they play their games and as playing when they go home from work to romp with their children.

I don't get nervous in any situation. There's no such thing as nerves when you're playing games.

My whole career I'm used to playing a lot of games.

There's a difference between fair game and playing games.

We want everybody to act like adults, quit playing games, realize that it's not just my way or the highway.
