Team sports aren’t my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don’t need a partner to go running, you don’t need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers.

In Boston, they love their sports celebrities. And it’s great.

The best football is always about expression of emotion. Always.

All I do is work out. Oh my God! Half my life is spent in a gym somewhere, sweating.

F2’s much harder physically on the arms and almost on the whole body than F1 is.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

It takes me about two hours to run into Target. People always want a picture. They hem and haw, and they can’t spit the words out, so they waste about five minutes of my time just standing there getting ready for a picture. Just do it!

I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.

Shooting the ball is a part of the game. Everybody can shoot in their own way. Not everybody can make. But everybody can shoot.

All an agent is going to do is buy things for a player, damage his eligibility, and make the player dependent on them.

Winning the title in England is the biggest challenge of them all.

I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United.

Who in their infinite wisdom decreed that Little League uniforms be white? Certainly not a mother.

Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?

If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.

I’m always hungry to score.

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I’ve learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that’s what kids are playing. That’s what people are talking about.

If someone told me I could play two Asian Cup finals, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Just do some kind of workout. Doesn’t matter if it’s going for a walk around the block, going for a jog, doing some calisthenics, lifting weights, going to a pool and swimming – you name it. But do something that gets your blood flowing and gets your mind in the game.

As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that’s all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

Running taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.

I guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.

Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.

Most home teams have chapels, so when I’m on the road I’ll probably go to their services.

I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.

Derbies are always difficult to play because you have to handle the pressure. There’s no advantage or disadvantage for either side.

The bat is not a toy, it’s a weapon. It gives me everything in life, which helps me to do everything on the field.

After the 12th class exam results, I got a call from Mohun Bagan. They saw me at Durand Cup when I was playing for City Club of Delhi. I thought they might want me for SAIL Academy. Never ever I thought Mohun Bagan is calling me for Mohun Bagan!

I think it’s quite great to set yourself a big challenge, and then you’ve got another reason for keeping fit.

Working out anchors my day.

I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.

It’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever.

I like the city. I like the concrete. I like big business. I like being a CEO of my own company and having a lot of responsibilities. At the same time, when I can go off with a backpack or off on a surfboard or even off on a run somewhere in the woods – that’s where I’m really happy.

So like any football or basketball coach, you always always believe you’re going to win.

How do you catch a knuckleball? You wait until it stops rolling, then go pick it up.

Every night on the court I give my all, and if I’m not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.

I’m not going to lie; listen, I’m nice at basketball.

Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.

Ordinarily, players fine-tune their match-fitness during the pre-season.

ESPN is a great organization to work for.

I am not someone who does a lot of exercise, so I attempt to maintain some sort of rhythm, and I think the jump rope is the funnest way. It’s easy, you can do it in your room or anywhere.

The Paralympic Games is about transforming our perception of the world.

Cleveland fans are awesome.

I always find the time to exercise – kitesurfing, tennis or cycling – and to spend time with my loved ones.

You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

My grandfather was one of the very, very first, if not the first, Samoan wrestlers to become known on a worldwide basis.

My game is really played above time. I don’t say that like I’m saying I’m ahead of my time. I’m saying, like, if I’m on the court and I throw a pass, the ball that I’ve thrown will lead my teammate right where he needs to go, before he even knows that that’s the right place to go to.

When I look back at what I had to go through in black baseball, I can only marvel at the many black players who stuck it out for years in the Jim Crow leagues because they had nowhere else to go.

If you made me the national commissioner of football, I’d tell you one thing that I would mandate. The second Saturday in September, we’re going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team. Everybody from the Big Ten is going to play the ACC. Everybody from the Big East is going to play the Pac-10.

Without football, my life is worth nothing.

I’m in the game of spinning plates. I’m spinning a boxing plate. I’m spinning a Tae Kwon Do plate. I’m spinning a Jujitsu plate. I’m spinning a freestyle wrestling plate. I’m spinning a karate plate. If I was to put all them down and have one boxing plate spinning, it would be like a load off my shoulders.

‚Rocky‘ and ‚Rocky III‘ were the best.

They used to call me ‚Touchdown T.‘ I remember in high school, we had homecoming, and I got in front of the pep rally, and I told them, ‚I’m going to run for three touchdowns.‘ I ran for three touchdowns, kicked the extra point, and took myself out the game.

Basically it starts with four months of training, just basic stretching, kicking and punching. Then you come to the choreography and getting ready to put the dance together.

We don’t want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.

Fighting football, not serenity football – that is what I like.

I noticed that when I touched the ball on the field, you could hear this shrill noise in the crowd with all the birds screaming like at a Beatles concert.

In India, people are really glued to the Premier League and La Liga.

Joe Frazier got hit more than me – and he doesn’t have Parkinson’s.

Personally yes I want our country to have one league. When it’s going to be one league, which we all are hearing, it has to be abiding by AFC rules.

I don’t know who I would have been if I never watched MotoGP.
