Keeping one's priorities in order

Matt Hennesy, head coach of the Muskogee (OK) High School (American) football side hit a 7 year old kid with his car breaking his collarbone and inflicting other injuries. Mr. Hennesy stopped and notified one of the kid's parents but then left the scene and did not notify police. When contacted by the local newspaper he provided the following quotes which prove beyond a doubt that this is a man who knows how to maintain his focus on the important things.

"I ought to be dealing with tomorrow night’s game — not this crap."

"I was leaving the stadium when this kid ran into the front of my car...It was the kid’s fault."

"I’m not going to file a report against a little kid, even though my car was damaged...It was the kid’s fault."

Good luck in the big match coach. I hope the kid's thoughtlessness hasn't upset your game plans!
