A geek isn't the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. There can be computer geeks, video game geeks, car geeks, military geeks, and sports geeks. Being a geek just means that you're passionate about something.

A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.

A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.

A lot of athletes use sports psychologists.

A lot of the high-level sports are really in your mind.

A lot of these angles are really about trying to mimic broadcast sports angles in order to anchor the scene, to sort of normalize it before it becomes abstracted.

A rabid sports fan is one that boos a TV set.

A significant piece of the wealth that the NFL owners garner is a result of the enormous TV revenues they get - and those revenues are supported by a legislatively granted exemption from the antitrust laws that has been made applicable to sports leagues, primarily the NFL.

A supermodel needed to be able to be on 'Sports Illustrated,' to be able to walk runways, to be able to do beauty ads, to be on covers. And the girls now can no longer be on covers and be in the ads because your actresses have taken over all the jobs. I don't know what happened, but we want our jobs back.

Academe, n.: An ancient school where morality and philosophy were taught. Academy, n.: A modern school where football is taught.

Academics often discount the value of top-rated sports programs in helping to develop a campus life and in contributing to the overall success of a college or university. Like it or not, the sports programs a college or university has are the front page of that university.

Actually, I always dreamed about getting a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle in Olympic swimming. I always thought that would be the epic award in sports to get.

Adversity causes some men to break others to break records.

All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity.

All I can ask from society is that it please stop telling me why I should like sports.

All I want to know is that I can keep this house for the rest of my days and I want to make good music... and have the odd sports car in the garage, obviously!

All of my free time is made up of motor sports endeavors, be them motorcycles or off-road racing or track days. I just love anything with an engine. That is one of my main loves. Obviously, my other well-known love is Kristen Bell.

All of the sports have a safety net, but boxing is the only sport that has none. So when the fighter is through, he is through. While he was fighting his management was very excited for him, but now that he is done, that management team is moving on.

All pro sports, as well as the NCAA, should thank God every day we have sports betting here... We have the only agency in the world that regulates the honesty of games.

All sports for all people.

All sports must be treated on the basis of equality.

Amateurism is the strongest form of discrimination in sports. Because it discriminates against the underprivileged, it discriminates against the poor. If we want sports to go back to the wealthy, let's make it amateur again.

Americans' addiction to sports, with the NFL at the top, is based on the excitement generated by the potential for the unexpected great play which can only happen with honest competition from great athletes.

And I realized that there was no sports reporter, so I started covering sporting events.

And I watch 'Saturday Night Live' religiously, I have since I was a little boy. I watch it basically like one of my favorite sports teams.

And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.

Any time Detroit scores more than 100 points and holds the other team below 100 points they almost always win.

Anyone could be in the orchestra, or sports team, or arts club at my school. It was precisely the kind of inclusivity that now meets with a sort of scorn and derision as a prizes-for-all culture that generates only mediocrity. There's something so insulting about the idea that including lots of people means mediocrity.

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

As a kid I was fascinated with sports, and I loved sports more than anything else. The first books I read were about sports, like books about Baseball Joe, as one baseball hero was called.

As a kid I was short and only weighed 95 pounds. And though I was active in a lot of Sports and got along with most of the guys, I think I used comedy as a defense mechanism. You know making someone laugh is a much better way to solve a problem than by using your fists.

As a kid who wasn't into sports, at school I felt almost alienated at times, whereas in the theatre community there was this amazing sense of camaraderie. Early on, we would go to rehearsals with my dad and I was like the mascot for the backstage crew. That was a big part of my childhood, so I dreamed of one day doing a play in London.

As a result of Title IX, and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had, women's sports have arrived.

As a sophomore, I wanted to play varsity in three sports. And I accomplished that. It was a great feat that year, and something I held special. I wanted to bring a championship team to Oceanside High School, and it happened. It was a great year that I will never forget.

As all of us with any involvement in sports knows, no two umpires or no two referees have the same strike zone or call the same kind of a basketball game.

As an example, one of the schools I have been studying is too small to compete effectively in most sports, but participates with vigor each year in the state music contests.

As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day.

As the National Football League and other pro sports increasingly reckon with the early dementia, mental health issues, suicides and even criminal behavior of former players, the risk of what's known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), is becoming clear.

As the proud father of two teens and past Chairman to the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, I am committed to educating parents and especially young people on ways to live a long, healthy and active life.

As you know, the thing that I know the least about is the topic of sports.

At ten I was playing against 18-year-old guys. At 15 I was playing professional ball with the Birmingham Black Barons, so I really came very quickly in all sports.

Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It's like a highly specialized army unit, or a winning sports team. A unique combination of elements that becomes stronger together than apart.

Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.

Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.

Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.

Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.

Baseball is drama with an endless run and an ever-changing cast.

Baseball is only a game, a game of inches and a lot of luck. During a time of all-out war, sports are very insignificant.

Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.

Baseball life is a tough life on the family.

Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?

Baseball was the darling of all sports back then.

Because I just like sports, I like athletics and I like competition.

Before Huey was 5, I could take him to work with me. Now, though, he has sports and lessons and friends, and it's not fair to remove him from his whole life.

Being a celebrity you always get really good seats to sporting events but you never get as good seats as the photographers get. And I really love sports. So one of the scams I have going now is I want to learn sports photography so I can get better seats at a sporting event.

Being No. 1. It's talked about all of the time in hip-hop. 'I'm still No. 1! I'm the best! I'm the greatest of all time!' It's the same mentality in sports.

Black people dominate sports in the United States. 20% of the population and 90% of the final four.

Bobby Knight told me this: 'There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.' In other words a good offense wins.

Books had instant replay long before televised sports.

Boxing has become America's tragic theater.

Boxing, for me, it's the beginning of all sports. I'm willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight, so I think that's something innate in all of us.

Boxing, mixed martial arts and tennis are the hardest sports to train for.

Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing. That's like a sports thing, it's not usually a comedy and writing thing.

Bulls do not win bull fights. People do.

But as a practical matter, Detroit's the sports city in the country.

But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid, that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen.

But I was very much into sports when I was a child.

But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.

But sports photography isn't something you just pick up overnight. You can't do it once a year for fun and expect to do a good job. And I take pride in what I do.

By the time I was 8 years old, sports had pretty much taken over my life.

Can they do both? That's a huge balance, I think, with kids- trying to find the right- it's everything, you know, it's social life, it's academics, it's sports.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

Cheerleading gave me a love of sports, which I brought to the Senate. I can talk to the good ol' boys about college sports because I follow it like they do.

Companies that support sports developmental programs in our communities should also be applauded.

Competing in both track and field and basketball for the Bruins I have a lot of great memories to choose from. But my all-time favorite moment in collegiate sports has to be in 1982 when we won UCLA's first NCAA title in track.

Competing in sports has taught me that if I'm not willing to give 120 percent, somebody else will.

Competition is the spice of sports but if you make spice the whole meal you'll be sick.

Delaware is the only state east of the Rockies that is allowed under federal law to offer sports betting.

Denver is home to me, and to be recognized for my achievements in the sports community here is a great honor.

Despite the amazing diversity we're blessed with in this country, schools are still in large part segregated because of economic disparity. Sports are one of the few areas where kids are really given the opportunity to interact with those of different races and religions.

Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.

Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.

Don't let anyone turn you into a slave. You're a slave if you let the media tell you that sports and entertainment are more important than developing your brain.

Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

Don't play too much golf. Two rounds a day are plenty.

Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.

EA SPORTS has a strong partnership with adidas and through this relationship they approached adidas about using some of their top players from around the world.

Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across a desk.

ESPN has this problem with sports, it's impossible to fill 24 hours with sports programming so they have to resort to things like poker and arm wrestling tournaments.

Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports, and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game.

Even from their infancy we frame them to the sports of love: their instruction, behavior, attire, grace, learning and all their words azimuth only at love, respects only affection. Their nurses and their keepers imprint no other thing in them.

Even if I did have, you know, a 'Sports Illustrated' body, I'd still wear elegant clothes.

Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.

Everybody sort of questioned why we get married on New Year's Day, and of course, the avid sports fans wouldn't come, because they had to watch the Rose Bowl or whatever that is on that day.

Everyone I know who is successful has issues with their father, regardless of whether it was sports or business or entertainment.

Everyone thought I was going to die like a year later, they didn't know. So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He's not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.

Fans don't boo nobodies.

Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.

Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable.

Football is violence and cold weather and sex and college rye.

Football, basketball, and the Olympic sports all have their problems with banned substances.

For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.

For guys playing sports at a high level, for money, I can't put my finger on it, but in a man's world of sport, there is something visceral to beating another man.

For the tiny percentage of people who are negatively affected by our embracing of standards, they can just get their sports somewhere else in the meantime. It's not like we're denying them hospital care.

For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.

Funding for sports (and the arts) are often the first things facing the chop in difficult times.

Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.

God made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure.

Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.

Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.

Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.

Golf is a game in which one endeavors to control a ball with implements ill adapted for the purpose.

Golf is a game in which you yell 'fore,' shoot six, and write down five.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.

Golf is played by twenty million mature American men whose wives think they are out having fun.

Gray skies are just clouds passing over.

Growing up in Huntington Beach, you were either a traditional sports athlete, a skateboarder, or a surfer. I got my first skateboard when I was five and skated off and on over the years, did a little BMX racing as a kid, and then in my freshman or sophomore year I started getting a little bit more into skateboarding.

Growing up in the time of Title IX - it was passed when I was 10 - I got a front-row seat to so many great moments in women's sports. Of course I didn't know it at the time.

Growing up, if I hadn't had sports, I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.

Growing up, sports was my outlet, my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people but, through sports, something I was good at, I was able to make friends.

Guys do not have a genetic blueprint that allows them to understand or love sports.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

Have you ever noticed what golf spells backwards?

He has the finest, fundamentally sound golf swing I've ever seen.

He hits it long. His shoulders are impressively quick through the ball. That's where he's getting his power from. He's young and has great elasticity.

He hits the ball a long way and he knows how to win.

He's going to be around a long, long time, if his body holds up. That's always a concern with a lot of players because of how much they play. A lot of guys can't handle it. But it looks like he can.

He's got an overall flair for the game. It looks to me like he really loves what he does and he can't wait to get up in the morning, go hit some balls and go play.

He's got everything. He' not a great player yet because he hasn't won any major championships, but it's a matter of time. He's an outstanding talent. I didn't realize how tall he is.

Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.

Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.

Honestly, I don't listen to nobody else's music but my own. It's kind of like sports to me. You don't see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game - he just works on his own game. And that's what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.

I also developed an interest in sports, and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football, baseball, basketball and occasionally, ice hockey.

I also have a soft spot for spicy chicken wings. They are always best eaten at dives and sports bars, like Wogie's in the West Village, New York City, near my house.

I also watched a lot of football and sports. I haven't had much time to watch too much TV lately.

I always had two or three jobs at the same time. I started doing yard work when I was 7 or 8. When I was 13, I got my first state job doing road construction. Between working, sports and school, I hardly ever had free time.

I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all, but when I got home, it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.

I always seem to get parts where I play the sports professional - and that's not me at all!

I always separated sports and my personal life.

I always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous.

I always turn to the sports pages first, which records people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures.

I am a huge sports fan.

I am a sports fanatic and being able to perform at halftime for the fans of the Steelers and the Jets is such a thrill for me.

I am big into water sports and just being out on the water. That is second nature to me, being from Florida.

I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.

I am not a sports girl.

I am so fidgety - I swear I have ADD - and I always need to be doing something or being outside, just playing sports.

I am so grateful to everybody that supports the Sheckler Foundation, and gives us the ability to continue to help kids and injured action sports athletes.

I am very slow to warm. I've always been sort of a loner. I didn't play team sports. I am better one-on-one than in big groups.

I believe God created sports for a good reason. It's recreation. It's something that we enjoy. It teaches us a lot as well... I believe God is a sports fan.

I come from a background of hanging out with friends and shooting videos with them, with funny stuff coming out of the group. I guess we got the same charge jocks get out of sports.

I come from a sports family and my husband is a rugby player.

I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself.

I decided to create a sports club during the Soviet times. It was my dream.

I did a shoot for 'Sports Illustrated,' and my grandpa called me and asked when my issue of 'Playboy' was coming out. It was hilarious as well as embarrassing.

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said, sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know.

I did everything - I did newscasts, I did sports, I did dramas.

I didn't go to normal children school. I went to sports school when I was 8. So I studied martial arts.

I didn't grow up a theatre kid, going to theatre camps. I played sports, and that was my main direction. But luckily, I never had to choose between sports and theatre.

I do appreciate a woman who has a passion for sports and knows their stuff.

I do not like sports, unless you consider treating all humankind with love and respect a sport.

I don't care what they say about me when I'm through with sports. I don't want to be known as anything else in life but a great father.

I don't have the insight with the Longhorns that I do with the two teams that I own, but as a fan and reading the sports pages, I'm bullish about the Longhorns.

I don't know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.

I don't know much about sports.

I don't know why people question the academic training of an athlete. Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.

I don't necessarily love the sports per se, I love the stories behind them. Also in a kind of perverse way I like to study what it does to us, why we care so much. It's caring about something that's utterly meaningless.

I don't pay much attention to sports.

I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.

I don't read a lot of the sports, because I think people sometimes either build it up, or you have this guy that hates sports that is going to write bad about it, so I figure I'm not going to read it. Because I'm not going to let him put an idea into my head.

I don't really like politics that much. And I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world.

I don't think there are many larger lessons to be found in sports.

I don't think there's anything that is a greater area of discrimination against women today than the fact that nowhere in the world is there a female role model in team sports that more than half of a general audience would recognize.

I don't want someone to watch sports in bed. That drives me nuts.

I don't want to have to say, Honey, you know, could you turn off the sports channel because I'm not a big sports fan, and I don't love the television being on just for the sake of turning on. I'd like turning on for some thing specific.

I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.

I don't watch a lot of television. Sports and news, that's it.

I enjoy sports in person.

I enjoy sports. I get a real joy from playing sports but I don't look for those movies. Oliver Stone wanted to know if I would do Any Given Sunday and it just didn't appeal to me.

I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.

I feel like football players are overworked and underpaid compared to any other sports.

I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, 'Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?'

I got amazing training both with Theatre Sports... back in Edmonton, Alberta - I can't give those people enough credit - and the daytime drama I did. Incredible training, both of them.

I grew up being into sports and I wasn't trained to move my body in the right way for dancing. I'm the last one to get any moves correct. In rehearsals it's always, 'OK, one more take for Zac.'

I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.

I grew up in New Jersey and my father was a golf pro, so I was groomed for sports, but I wasn't very good, so my interests lay elsewhere.

I grew up playing sports, but now I feel like I can't, because if I get injured, I'll impair whatever film I'm working on.

I grew up playing sports, football, basketball, baseball, everything, and acting was such a different environment and different world for me.

I grew up playing sports. There is a clear line between success and failure.

I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.

I had a great interest in sports. I had three older brothers who were great athletes. I was not.

I had fun pretending to be a sportscaster. People always think that was a down thing for me. I had the best job in sports broadcasting for two years.

I had no interest in sports so I didn't make friends in that traditional way where kids are in public school and they go and they join clubs, and play sports. So I kind of had to find my own way to make friends and get attention and so I just was the class clown.

I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.

I had spindly little ankles, and growing up in Canada, I couldn't skate. I was no good at any sports so was very much a pariah through those adolescent years.

I hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.

I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts.

I hate the cliche of 'just have fun,' but what I've seen in today's sports, especially with parents, is they put so much pressure on the kids.

I have a 16 year-old son, so I'm now a soccer mom. I stand on the sidelines and I hear the things parents are saying, so I want them to understand what it is their kids are feeling in any sports environment.

I have a pretty expanded view of what art is. I include pop music and even some sports.

I have just come from a couple of raids, where we had a very lively time, and some of them had to pull their guns. I found it necessary to punch a few sports myself.

I have long been one of those tedious people who rails against the coronation of 'student-athletes.' I have heard the argument that big-time athletics bring in loads of money to universities. I don't believe the money goes anywhere other than back into the sports teams, but that's another story.

I have long recognized a link between fitness and mental health and I think we need to encourage young people to take part in sports and team activities because we know it has such positive results.

I have my parents to thank for that, they raised me to be active and play all sports. They taught me the importance of staying healthy, being focused and setting goals in whatever I do.

I have never seen a wrestling match or a prize fight, and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him.

I have spoken with many former athletes, and they tell me the best time they had was in sports. I listen to them and use their experience in my career.

I have three kids, and I'm a coach for a lot of their sports, so I'm around them a lot, but I see friends of mine with older kids and they don't really interact so much, other than giving them a place to live.

I have to wear two sports bras when I do my cardio. It takes a lot to hold these puppies up!

I have zero interest in sports of any kind - professional, college or international.

I just think that sports movies have such a built-in visceral, rooting interest, an epic win or lose redemptive quality. When they get it right, it can make for a really rousing movie experience.

I keep getting these extraordinary letteres, really weird ones from American sports stars - I've always thought you were one pretty lady and now that you're single I want to meet you for a drink.

I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.

I know I could be the host of 'SportsCenter' in two years if I changed my show today to sports.

I know my strengths. Painfully aware of the weaknesses. There's many. I love sports. So working towards a common goal, that's exciting to me.

I learned easily and had time to follow my inclination for sports (light athletics and skiing) and chemistry, which I taught myself by reading all textbooks I could get.

I like all the adventure sports but I like to do them in a safe way.

I like both athletic girls and girly girls. It depends on their personality. I like girls who can go out and play sports with me and throw the football around, but you don't want a girl who's too much tougher than you. I like brainy girls who can respond to what I'm saying.

I like every single actor or actress in the world, because we never know what the conditions are like when they are working. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and root for them like a psychotic sports fan.

I like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.

I like sports, and swimming is my favorite. Doing physical exercises keeps one fit and healthy and helps one work more efficiently. I think we all need to strike a balance between work and relaxation. This can keep us energetic and help us do our job better.

I like to feel that I understand little things about sports.

I like to follow my favorite team and talk sports with my band or fans. You won't believe how many musicians are sports fans. We have so much time on tour that we need these outlets for relaxation.

I like to walk around my apartment naked. I like sitting around in the nude watching sports, actually.

I liked sports but I never really had the confidence. I was always coordinated and it came easy to me, but I didn't have the confidence to go along with the physical skill.

I liked the energy of cooking, the action, the camaraderie. I often compare the kitchen to sports and compare the chef to a coach. There are a lot of similarities to it.

I liked the game, I enjoyed the game, and the game fed me enough, and gave me enough rewards to reinforce that this is something that I should spend time doing, and that I could possibly make a priority in my life, versus other sports.

I live by 'Go big or go home.' That's with everything. It's like either commit and go for it or don't do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That's what I live by. That's how I like it.

I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.

I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they'd be, what position they'd play and so on.

I love all sports.

I love extreme sports, I like snowboarding and motorcross and rollerblading and hockey.

I love sport, I grew up playing sports, that's all I did, and it is so invigorating now that I'm supposedly adult to learn something completely new, from the bottom up.

I love sports - if I'm not acting, I'm probably doing sports.

I love sports and I love sports movies.

I love sports, as all Bostonians seem to. I love books and movies, as all writers seem to.

I love sports. Anytime I can combine sports with a film I'm a happy guy. It's such a natural fit, because sports always seems to be a metaphor for life. Always, always, always.

I love sports. I love animals. I love kids. I want to save the world. So how do I combine all those things? I don't know.

I love sports. Whenever I can, I always watch the Detroit Tigers on the radio.

I love that men like to look at women, that they love sports, that they need to know the inner workings of mechanical objects. I love the whole makeup of men - that they never mature and are always just boys.

I love to get home and hang out with my family. My brothers and I love spending time at the beach. I enjoy doing all kinds of surf sports and keeping healthy.

I love various sports, including basketball, tennis and billiards.

I mean, sports are big, big, big business.

I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s, after my music career got going.

I never in my wildest imagination dreamed that I would somehow become a sports commentator.

I never played sports. I wasn't any good at them.

I never really hated any particular sport but out of all the sports, I used to prefer the team games to running and sprinting and those types of things.

I never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.

I never really was that passionate about playing sports. But when I was at this Mt. Herman school, I did have the ability to throw the frisbee. So when this sport evolved, it was fun because I was good at it.

I never thought I'd make the pages of 'Sports Illustrated,' because I've always been skinny.

I only have two things in my life, my family and work. If there's any time left over, then I play sports.

I pick projects according to how fascinating they are to me, and it has resulted in a broad reach. My records are actually in five different sports: balloons, airplanes, airships, gliders, and sailboats.

I play in the low 80s. If it's any hotter than that, I won't play.

I play some fighting games, but mostly I just play sports.

I play sports.

I played a lot of other sports at school and just one day the golf bug bit me and I started playing serious golf from when I was ten years old.

I played a lot of sports and it's the plays in basketball that weren't worked out that are the ones that are just fantastic that you remember. We don't know the power that's within our own bodies.

I played a lot of sports when I was a kid so I get in that ballgame mindset of being really, really respectful, but at same time saying to yourself, 'Don't back down a single inch, hang with these guys if you can.' If they throw it high and tight you have to stand in there, you can't take yourself out of that moment.

I played a ton of team sports growing up, and team wins are just incredibly gratifying.

I played professional level sports. When you're playing for money, it's a whole other level.

I played sports in high school and in college.

I played sports year around: basketball, soccer, softball and I ran track year around, from the time I was, like, six, seven.

I really think more fledgling novelists - and many current and even established novelists - should get out into the real world and cover local politics, sports, culture, and crime and write it up on deadline.

I receive huge support from Irish and British sports fans alike and it is greatly appreciated. Likewise I feel I have a great affinity with the American sports fans. I play most of my golf in the U.S. nowadays and I am incredibly proud to have won the U.S. Open and U.S. PGA Championship in the last two years.

I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.

I regard sports first and foremost as entertainment, so dry documentary narration is not for me.

I remember when I was growing up, I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports, I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.

I remember, when I was a little kid, I was good at sports, and I could jump off the high board. And then puberty hit, and suddenly I was looking to boys for direction. I remember that as a great loss.

I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.

I sort of always had an inkling towards some kind of an art form. I grew up in a very small town, and I just figure-skated. My dad played hockey and I was surrounded by sports, but it wasn't quite doing it for me. I wasn't totally fulfilled, and I did a lot of skating.

I sort of try to write everything for me. I'm a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don't remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio. I'm trying to make sure the jokes are self-contained so they're accessible to everyone.

I started my cooking 'career' aged 15, almost 20 years ago. At the time it was quite a shock suddenly working 75 to 80 hours a week, without time to play football or other sports.

I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.

I started playing baseball and soccer. Those were my sports on the streets and in school when I was growing up. I didn't even start playing basketball until I was 14.

I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.

I think Bob Costas is terrific. He's so knowledgeable. He can talk about any subject, not just sports.

I think everybody has something that takes them away or makes them happier. To some people it's baseball or sports or knitting or the movies.

I think exercise tests us in so many ways, our skills, our hearts, our ability to bounce back after setbacks. This is the inner beauty of sports and competition, and it can serve us all well as adult athletes.

I think extreme sports are really good for relieving stress.

I think having a vision can make someone an influential man. I'm not talking about acting or anything like that, I'm talking about people I admire, whether it's a writer or a musician or a sports figure or a politician, whatever.

I think I was a good student, because I jumped over a school. My main interest was basically history and literature. Sports were basically basketball and swimming at a pool. I was so happy.

I think it is that parents just don't kick their kids out the door as much as they used to. I think the demise of sandlot sports has had a lot to do with it.

I think it's good for sports cars to be united, to be just one. I think it's good for the fans. When you have two different series, fans don't know which way to go, when you only have one I think it's good for the sport.

I think life is sort of like a competition, whether it's in sports, or it's achieving in school, or it's achieving good relationships with people. And competition is a little bit of what it's all about.

I think money in general hurts all sports.

I think professional sports, football, to use it as an example, it's fundamentally a form of entertainment.

I think sometimes when it comes to sports, and especially relationships between players and coaches, that people lose track, lose a sense of reality.

I think team sports probably teach you more about giving - about being unselfish and being flexible.

I think that every single person should play sports.

I think that from the time you start playing sports as a child you see that your responsibility to your team is to play the best that you can play as an individual... and yet, not take anything away from being part of a team.

I think that people who have played sports have an ability to relate to people because when you're playing you have to work on teams and with opposing players.

I think the Cowboys are one of only two teams in all of sports that engender love and hate to that extreme. The other is the Yankees. You love the Yankees or you hate the Yankees.

I think track is still one of the most exciting participant sports, but we haven't been able to capitalize on that excitement through television and the print media.

I think we have our sports within our own culture that are huge with baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Those are the sports in America that we grow up with and soccer isn't really there yet.

I told another ESPN friend here, I love all sports. I can't think of any I don't love. I've even come to appreciate cricket. Maybe I could play a sportswriter. I don't know. Anything in the sports realm is appealing.

I tried to get a baseball movie made a couple of years ago and I don't think it didn't happen because I was a woman, but because sports movie don't sell internationally.

I used to play a lot of racket sports, tennis and squash.

I used to play football at school, and I enjoyed really physical sports, but I now try to avoid any sports that might build up different muscles. That might have a negative impact on my archery.

I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I am good at everything.

I used to sports gamble a lot and I was getting killed on that but then I found poker and really enjoyed it. But it was a hobby more than anything else. I played it every day but only on pretty small stakes.

I want to rip out his heart and feed it to Lennox Lewis. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.

I wanted to be a doctor in sports medicine I was into sailing and all that sort of thing.

I wanted to be a sportswriter because I loved sports and I could not hit the curve ball, the jump shot, or the opposing ball carrier.

I wanted to perform well for my mom and dad, because in high school, I didn't have a job. My brothers, they worked at Pizza Hut or places like that, but sports, that was my way of giving back.

I wanted to play sports my whole life. That's all I really wanted to do.

I wanted to use sports for social change.

I was a ballplayer, but only for a limited time. I grew up playing in Wisconsin. It's a very sports-centric part of the country that I grew up in and I played a lot of sports, but baseball first and foremost. I played through high school. I was a middle-infielder.

I was a huge theater geek growing up, and that was not the easiest thing in the world, especially growing up in Chicago, where sports are really the norm. I was always off to the theater at night, from 7 years old on. Friends there in the Midwest who could talk to you about the idiosyncrasies of 'Pippin' were few and far between.

I was a sports fan, but I also went to peace marches.

I was a total athlete. I loved sports, but when I realized I wasn't going to be a professional athlete, I realized I wanted to be in movies.

I was always a sports nut but I've lost interest now in whether one bunch of mercenaries in north London is going to beat another bunch of mercenaries from west London.

I was always very independent and looked out for myself. I think that ability really helped me in later years both in sports and in theatre.

I was an All-American in wrestling in high school, was National Champion in Chinese kickboxing in 1999 and have spent a lot of time around professional athletes, which includes my eight-plus years as CEO of a sports nutrition company.

I was certain I was going to do something in sports.

I was focused on athletics, outdoors, sports.

I was lucky enough when it came to sports and work ethic to be taught some basics that continue to be important.

I was never into sports, and my passion was the arts as long as I could remember.

I was showing early symptoms of becoming a professional baseball man. I was lying to the press.

I was sports editor for my high school newspaper, but I think I shied away from journalism.

I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time, then you really don't have a good life.

I went through baseball as 'a player to be named later.'

I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.

I went to a football school, which meant that I went to a university that served up education and was simultaneously operating a sports franchise.

I went to Ohio University studying arts and history, and playing football. But I was only interested in girls, my pals and sports. I only did the minimum for school.

I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation.

I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible.

I work out, I play sports, I go to concerts.

I worked at my high school newspaper at Andover, which came out weekly, unusual for a high school paper. Then my first day at Penn I went right to the 'Daily Pennsylvanian' and pretty much spent most of my college career working both as the sports editor and then editor of the editorial page.

I Worked in the family auto body shop, lifted weights, and rode a few Victory Sports Indoors.

I would like to do a sports movie.

I would love to be associated with some sports organization. I was a journalism major. That's kind of intriguing, to do something in the political-commentary arena.

I would never encourage my children to be athletes - first because my children are not athletes and second because there are so many people pushing to get to the top in sports that 100 people are crushed for each one who breaks through. This is unfortunate.

I would venture to guess that if I was a construction worker... who requested a transfer to another department for the betterment of his family, I would be commended for it. But because it's sports, there's just so much passion added to it.

I'd just as soon play tennis with the net down.

I'd just like to be good at sports. I'm extremely competitive with absolutely nothing to back it up.

I'll go out, but I leave early, before the shenanigans. I don't really do the Hollywood party thing. I'd rather watch sports or play videogames or work out or sleep, to be totally honest.

I'll let the racket do the talking.

I'm a big sports fan in general.

I'm a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.

I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.

I'm a big sports guy - golf, tennis, baseball, basketball, snowboarding - and I love games.

I'm a competitive person and I love the challenge of mastering new things.

I'm a father of four so whenever I'm not working my kids have their different sports, or plays, or school performances, so I don't do a whole lot of other stuff besides being a dad.

I'm a Hollywood writer, so I put on my sports jacket and take off my brain.

I'm a huge fan of Chicago sports and Chicago food, and I love going home and my family is still there. I guess it's pretty easy to have a normal life in Chicago.

I'm a huge sports fan.

I'm a huge, huge sports fan, and Marquette basketball is my No. 1 thing.

I'm a mad lover of sport. You cannot say a bad word to me about sports. So I know business is involved and I know it can be cynical, and, of course, I watch it, but for me it's pure.

I'm a sports guy. Football, God, I flip out.

I'm a visual thinker, really bad at algebra. There's others that are a pattern thinker. These are the music and math minds. They think in patterns instead of pictures. Then there's another type that's not a visual thinker at all, and they're the ones that memorize all of the sports statistics, all of the weather statistics.

I'm an English boy. I played a lot of sports growing up, but I never had any kind of workout regimen.

I'm delighted about the track's success in the sports world, but the frustrating thing is, I don't think I got rich on it. The labels and publishers did very cheap deals on our songs.

I'm girlie in the sense that I like makeup, but I also love sports and man food.

I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.

I'm in the perfect position. It's a sports position and a political position where I can help better the lives of athletes around the world.

I'm not a big sports fan, but I love it when they 'slam dunk.' That's sexy.

I'm not a big sports fan.

I'm not a huge fan of improv theater or improv sports or whatever, because it still just looks like a tool. It looks like a technique to me.

I'm not buddy-buddy with the players. If they need a buddy, let them buy a dog.

I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports, I wasn't good at anything artsy, ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.

I'm not into extreme sports or something. I just live a quiet life.

I'm not really interested in sports psychology. It makes me feel like a crazy person.

I'm not that clued up on the American sports yet, really.

I'm nothing more than a sports slave.

I'm pretty quiet. But I love to play sports. I like playing all sports. I'll act goofy at times around my wife and my son, around my own family. I like to have fun in general.

I'm really into extreme sports and just having fun.

I'm so unhappy with electoral politics that I switched to sports radio.

I'm sort of like a lame, single guy in a red sports car.

I'm the kind of guy that if I don't work out, I will get bigger and look like one of the guys who used to play sports.

I'm thrilled, I'm grateful, I'm blessed. I played for the world's greatest professional sports team in history. Once a Dallas Cowboy, always a Dallas Cowboy.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.

I've always been around dudes and sports.

I've always been into sports and being physical.

I've always been really active. I grew up playing sports, so I'm always shooting hoops or throwing the football with my friends. I'm super-active in that sense.

I've always had an interest in sports across the board.

I've always kind of had an interest in the drums but nothing else. The drums are the only thing I feel I would be good at, because I'm a very physical person. I've always played sports and stuff. Drums would give me something to do.

I've always loved sports and hockey is a sport I play as much as I can. I love it. In a weird way it's like church and therapy and exercise all rolled up into one. I mean when I play hockey I don't think about anything.

I've aways been good at picking up certain things, like sports and dancing.

I've been a sports fan all my life, and like most other actors, I'm convinced I could have been a pro athlete if Hollywood hadn't come calling.

I've been involved with sports my whole life, which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn't care.

I've been looking at companies that are on a positive path vs. a negative path and I've come to use the language of sports, winning streaks and losing streaks.

I've been on enough sports teams in my life to have experienced the magic of what can happen when a group of people care for and love each other.

I've done a lot of training in martial arts. I started out in warring tempo, I did sports jujitsu, and I've also practiced extreme martial arts.

I've had the good fortune to have a much more diverse life than most people would, professional sports and television and news and movies.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

I've realized the extraordinary power of sports to heal, unite and inspire. I believe the Olympics will serve as the ultimate platform to provide positive changes and I hope to inspire all of Japan through my strong showing there.

I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.

If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.

If a tie is like kissing your sister, losing is like kissing you grandmother with her teeth out.

If architecture is, as is sometimes said, music set in concrete, then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports.

If I could have married my wife and been a sports writer for the past 30 years, I wouldn't be sitting here - but I don't think I'd be sitting someplace where I was sorry to be sitting.

If I stayed a football player, my career would have been over 20 years ago. As it is, my knees are shot. I found I got the same good feeling in acting that I had in sports, but I found I could have a more profound impact on people.

If I was invincible, maybe I would take up some extreme sports.

If I wasn't dyslexic, I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.

If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.

If they asked me, I did two shifts. I did sports, I did news, because I loved it.

If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?

If you are going to throw a club, it is important to throw it ahead of you, down the fairway, so you don't have to waste energy going back to pick it up.

If you drink don't drive. Don't even putt.

If you got the game, you got the game. That's why Tiger Woods is out there playing golf with Greg Norman.

If you have spent any time with Barack Obama, you know he's a funny guy. He's a good guy. He knows sports.

If you look at things that really affect people's lives - sport, the arts, charities - they were always at the back of the queue for government money - health, social security, defence, pensions were all way ahead. And each of those areas - sports, the arts, the lottery - got relatively petty cash from the government.

If you meet the Buddha in the lane, feed him the ball.

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

If you're a sports fan you realize that when you meet somebody, like a girlfriend, they kind of have to root for your team. They don't have a choice.

If your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.

In America, we have three major sports - baseball, football and basketball. They get the most coverage. Then there's things like golf which mop up most of what is left. But track and field? We are way at the bottom of the totem pole.

In any small town, sports are really important to the high school, and I wasn't very good at sports.

In fact, there's a lot to legitimately hate about pro sports and the way they are conducted.

In most sports, your brain and your body will cooperate... But in rock climbing, it is the other way around. Your brain doesn't see the point in climbing upwards. Your brain will tell you to keep as low as possible, to cling to the wall and not get any higher. You have to have your brain persuading your body to do the right movements.

In sports, people reach their peak very early. You have to move on. I don't know if I will ever surpass what I did at the Olympics, but I'm still doing the work I always wanted to do.

In sports, teams win and individuals don't.

In sports, you simply aren't considered a real champion until you have defended your title successfully. Winning it once can be a fluke winning it twice proves you are the best.

In sports... you play from the time you're eight years old, and then you're done forever.

In the field of sports you are more or less accepted for what you do rather than what you are.

In the morning, I reach for the sports page.

In the seventies we had to make it acceptable for people to accept girls and women as athletes. We had to make it okay for them to be active. Those were much scarier times for females in sports.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

In the States, tennis is sixth or seventh on the totem pole as far as sports go.

In the United States, we spend millions of dollars on sports because it promotes teamwork, discipline, and the experience of learning to make great progress in small increments. Learning to play music does all this and more.

It certainly is dangerous that there are only a few clubs left in Europe that can afford to pay millions. At the end of the day however, the spectators decide the rates of pay - by watching the games and consuming the goods and services advertised on sports TV programmes.

It is almost impossible to remember how tragic a place the world is when one is playing golf.

It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come.

It sounds like a cliche, but it... you do sing about what you know about. And I grew up in a small town, and I grew up in a place where your whole world revolved around friends, family, school, and church, and sports.

It was actually drumming that gave me the stamina to get into sports later.

It's a little bit in the genes because my brother is a journalist and my father was a sports writer.

It's a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.

It's become another dimension to who I am. I don't think Sports Illustrated is going to be wanting me. But who cares? I'm at a different place in my life.

It's funny I'm in some ways hopelessly masculine, but I don't fish, I don't hunt, I'm not that into sports. I can't fix a car. I think it's my point of view and the way I see the world.

It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.

It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

It's kind of ironic that the two sports with the greatest characters, boxing and horse racing, have both been on the decline. In both cases it's for the lack of a suitable hero.

It's not just the kid who's spent every penny from his job to upgrade his car to tell the world he cares about sports cars, it's also the person driving around in a fuel-conscious hybrid electric car, because it's more a message to the world than an effective means of saving fuel, to be quite honest.

It's too bad that one has to conceive of sports as being the only arena where risks are, for all of life is risk exercise. That's the only way to live more freely, and more interestingly.

Julie, Mia and I just met for a couple days, doing some work but really under the guise of having fun. We do events like the Women's Sports Foundation Dinner, where we get to not only do a good thing for the community but we get to hang out with one another again.

Just like I find men who talk sports who don't really know sports annoying, I think men might find women who don't really have a true passion and knowledge of sports maybe not so attractive.

Just like music, sports elevates us to new levels of achievment.

Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.

Life is about timing.

Life magazine ran a page featuring me and three other girls that was clearly the precursor of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues.

Louie and Seabiscuit were both Californians and both on the sports pages in the 1930s. I was fascinated. When I learned about his World War II experiences, I thought, 'If this guy is still alive, I want to meet him.'

Major sports are major parts of society. It's not anomalous to have people who love sports come from other parts of that society.

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.

Many baseball fans look upon an umpire as a sort of necessary evil to the luxury of baseball, like the odor that follows an automobile.

Many forms, sizes and colors, I think there are heroes in sports, in life... It would be cliche to say my dad, my granddad. I think I'm a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

Meeting sports athletes that are the best in the world is a thrill to this day.

Men's competitive team sports focus on the balance between individual achievement and team achievement with the emphasis on team achievement.

Monday Night Football started in 1970, and when it started, it was something extremely special because sports had not been aired in prime time. So, it was a novelty, and a lot of people thought it wouldn't work, and, of course, it worked spectacularly well.

Money was never the motivation. It never should be in sports.

Most ball games are lost, not won.

Most Indians go into education. Their parents just push them into education like parents in Australia push them into sports.

Most people compliment me on maintaining my femininity while I'm on the court. People like the fact that I model. My fans or little girls always say they want to play sports, but also want to be a model like me and I think that's great.

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second.

Movies, TV, sports, come and go, but what you stand for is what people remember. Mandela, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy are people who really stood for something and were willing to die for it. You don't see a whole lot of that any more.

Music has done a lot to enhance the emotions of sports. It's played in arenas. Whenever there is footage cut together they're always using music. And it goes together, you know.

My band is so dedicated, everybody works very hard. The No. 1 priority is the show, and it's pretty cool because we all pull together, and it's fun. It's like being on a sports team or something.

My biggest pet peeve are just girls who go to sports bars who have no intention on caring what teams are playing, like they're looking for just a night out. That drives me more crazy than anything else. Like, don't pretend to be a sports fan.

My chief gifts are - naturally good at all sports with a raw talent for pretty much everything, which if nurtured could develop into improper talent.

My commitment to Atlanta and passion for sports and competition make this acquisition a perfect fit for me.

My dad is the reason I actually started watching wrestling. My dad was never big into sports we were all big into sports as kids, and he'd go to our Little League games or whatever and not really know what was going on, because he didn't know about sports, but he knew about wrestling.

My dad told us up front, 'Guys, if you want to play sports, go ahead, but it's your decision.'

My dad was a sports writer when I was younger and then he became just a general columnist. But I grew up with him literally getting into brawls with football coaches.

My dream was always to be on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated.'

My family knew, but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.

My favorite sports movies, I like 'Remember the Titans' and 'Hoosiers' Jimmy Chitwood, from the corner.

My four older brothers were my favorite players. That's why I got into football and sports.

My heart lies in music and acting, however, my inspiration comes from adrenaline rush I get from sports... and life.

My main idea was to create a sports facility for the basics. This is why I established the club.

My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging.

My parents couldn't handle my energy so they enrolled me in every sport the school was offering. I didn't resent it because I loved sports and picked them up easily.

My policy was just to give good things for sports in my region.

My priority is to turn people - especially kids - on to sports and being active so they don't even have to think about it being good for their health. If people participate for the fun of it, and believe me - it is fun, then fitness programs will be much more successful.

My schedule has slowed a little. I've cut back on some of my assignments. But I still have the enthusiasm for the sports world that I had 38 years ago.

My sister is totally my dad's daughter because she loves sports.

My style has been pretty much like a newspaper. It's got politics in it, it's got media, sports, family relations, you know, all the sections you would expect, and wonderful religion things.

My tastes in all things lean towards the arty and boring. I like sports documentaries about Scrabble players, bands that play quiet, unassuming music, and TV shows that win awards. In that way, I am an elitist snob.

Nah, I don't watch TV either, apart from a few sports programmes. I just don't have the time.

New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there. Spill your guts at Wimbledon and they make you stop and clean it up.

No matter how many years you play, it's always something new and exciting. It's sports, you never know what may happen.

Nobody roots for Goliath.

Not everyone likes sports. Gandhi and Malcolm X come to mind.

Now, I know you expected me to say that, well, I just kick back in the rocking chair, fished a little bit, listened to Willie Nelson tapes and watched old baseball games on the Classic Sports network. And, tell you the truth, I have done that for maybe about five total minutes.

Of course, in our grade school, in those days, there were no organized sports at all. We just went out and ran around the school yard for recess.

Olympism is the marriage of sport and culture.

On a selfish basis, I really enjoy sports and activity.

On my morning run, I listen to sports talk radio.

One afternoon when I was 9, my dad told me I'd be skipping school the next day. Then we drove 12 hours from Melbourne to Sydney for the Centenary Test, a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative cricket match. It was great fun - especially for a kid who was a massive sports fan.

One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.

One of my first jobs was at the Boston Globe. I worked in the sports department six months a year. When I was ready to graduate, the sports editor gave me a job as a schoolboy sports writer.

One of the most difficult things for people who have been successful in sports is adapting to the daily world where you can't get an answer from someone until 5 o'clock tomorrow. There is always an excuse. Living 40 or 50 years like that doesn't get too exciting after a while.

One thing you learned as a Cubs fan: when you bought you ticket, you could bank on seeing the bottom of the ninth.

Other sports play once a week but this sport is with us every day.

Over the years, I've enjoyed working for WFAN and MSG - two sports giants in the industry. There couldn't be a better fit due to the long-standing history both entities have had with NY sports.

Overall the fundamentals seem to be there and he's obviously got a very mature head on his shoulders. He's got a kind of presence.
