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

I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don’t believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.

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

Keeping score is for games, not friendships.

It is necessary for me to establish a winner image. Therefore, I have to beat somebody.

It obviously bothers people when Real Madrid win. It makes them jealous. There isn’t a level playing field.

I don’t think there’s been anything in the game of football in my lifetime that has changed college football more than redshirting.

Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.

You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.

Well, we know that people in Australia love the idea of both Impulse and Virgin Blue getting up and adding a bit of competition, and it’s fun to be able to deliver it.

I had no future with the Dodgers, because I was too closely identified with Branch Rickey. After the club was taken over by Walter O’Malley, you couldn’t even mention Mr. Rickey’s name in front of him. I considered Mr. Rickey the greatest human being I had ever known.

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

I’d love to go into WWE and have a real knock and see what’s what.

One is lucky to be born in a place where no one is doing it, because then you can say, ‚Well, obviously I can write better than everyone else in high school.‘ You have no idea of the competition.

There is a place in the net where the keeper cannot reach the ball.

All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don’t know except it looked good.

I speak to you only as an American who happens to be an American Negro and one who is proud of that heritage. We ask for nothing special. We ask only that we be permitted to compete on an even basis, and if we are not worthy, then the competition shall, per se, eliminate us.

It’s rule number one, really – beating your teammate.

I was a Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan fan growing up.

To be announced as a race driver for McLaren is a dream come true.

I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that’s for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn’t play golf.

My uncle played rugby, and my dad played football, and they used to argue which game was the roughest – and everybody agreed rugby was. It’s a great team sport, and to be successful, every person has to play in the same level.

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it’s much more serious than that.

In war, you win or lose, live or die – and the difference is just an eyelash.

Reading isn’t good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn’t hit home runs. So I gave up reading.

Obviously everybody, if you’re playing in the league, you’ve got to have somewhat of an ego about how you play the game.

You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.

I enjoy competition. I enjoy challenges. If a challenge is in front of me and it appeals to me, I will go ahead and conquer it.

I’ve found that men I’ve dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I’ve found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren’t competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been… challenging.

As a professional athlete a lot is going to be said about you – but I just try to move forward and try to achieve my goals.

Racing, competing, it’s in my blood. It’s part of me, it’s part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.

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

Football is big business – you can’t get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.

I was a very average player and became a trainer in Germany with a special club.

If you are a small company taking on a big company, you need to have a sense of humor.

Without football, my life is worth nothing.

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.

Some people want to win races. Other people want to be President of the United States.

McLaren were one of the first teams I liked and supported.

If the other fellow sells cheaper than you, it is called dumping. ‚Course, if you sell cheaper than him, that’s mass production.

Automotive franchise laws were put in place decades ago to prevent a manufacturer from unfairly opening stores in direct competition with an existing franchise dealer that had already invested time, money and effort to open and promote their business.

In the ideal world, if I was perfect, I’d be able to beat every teammate that I have, in every race.

In all my years of baseball, I have always expected to be traded. I never liked the idea.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.

It kills me to lose. If I’m a troublemaker, and I don’t think that my temper makes me one, then it’s because I can’t stand losing. That’s the way I am about winning, all I ever wanted to do was finish first.

I have long understood that losing always comes with the territory when you wander into the gambling business, just as getting crippled for life is an acceptable risk in the linebacker business. They both are extremely violent sports, and pain is part of the bargain. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

I used to pray that God would make me a great athlete, and He never did.

I don’t really focus on these things – on what tags are given to me or what people think of me off the field – stuff like that. My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.

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.

I just want to do well with the national team.

I’m always hungry to score.

I definitely wasn’t anything special when I first started but I think I adapted quite quickly into racing and it became a bit better slowly. All of cadets, the first four years of karting, I only won one proper race, one! Which was the British Open Championship at PFI and I started 21st and I won.

I’ve done a number of Super Bowl ads. And that is the best advertising of the year. That is when people realize they’re going to be compared directly against other ads.

I really want a movie made on Sachin Tendulkar’s life. That is something I’m looking forward to. There will be so much emotion to that movie.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

I am very happy playing and showing off my talent on the cricket field and have no plans to enter Bollywood.

Bring them on.

I used to watch some F1 races but I was never straightaway thinking ‚that is what I want to do.‘

Wrestling is intimate. You can reach out and touch the wrestlers.
