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.

In England, you have stadiums in the middle of the city.

When I used to play sports, I’d be the one cheering the team on, ‚Come on, we can beat these guys!‘ That’s just in me.

Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.

I had talked to a lot of people in Golden State’s front offices before the draft. They said they liked me, but they had a lot of guards, so I didn’t think that I would end up there.

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

When you are in good form, you keep hitting the target. You may have the best match but you may still not have the goals. But scoring is most important and it feels so good that I have been knocking them in. It really boosts the morale.

If I cry, it’s because I’m very angry and I can’t do anything about it because I’ve run into a dead end. That’s when the tears would come down.

I signed for Mohun Bagan and then I got the news that Bhaichung also joined the club. The first day he met me he told me that I have heard about you and you are doing well. I told everyone in my family and friends that Bhaichung told me that.

I’m sick of giving creeps money off my soul.

I do understand it’s not easy to run an I-league club. I have been part of many and I know the scene.

To be honest, there are no problems between me and Messi. People have their own opinions about who they think is the better player. It is what it is, but there is no rivalry beyond games and what happens on the pitch.

I have really been disillusioned with soccer in England.

Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he’s losing; nobody wants you to quit when you’re ahead.

Considering their impact, you might expect mosquitoes to get more attention than they do. Sharks kill fewer than a dozen people every year, and in the U.S. they get a week dedicated to them on TV every year.

The first two games for Churchill, I was so jittery that I didn’t know what to do. I was running more but didn’t know what to do. I’ve no bones accepting the fact that I didn’t know what was happening in the game.

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

The uncertainty of parenting can bring up feelings in us that range from frustration to terror.

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

Unless someone wants to look funny, I’ll not recommend anyone to copy my bowling action. But on a serious note, with the confidence that I have got from the amount of runs I have been scoring, when I’m thrown the ball to bowl, I am pretty sure of what I have to do. I may not be the most attractive to watch while bowling, but I can be effective.

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

I am a professional sportswriter, among other things, and I take the games seriously. It is only one of my many powerful addictions, and I don’t mind admitting any of them.

You can sometimes play some really good football and not score.

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.

Nothing surprises me anymore in the NFL.

I don’t want to be called a point guard, but I can’t stop it.

Hopefully I won’t be the last big splash at Under Armour.

Public opinion can be influential, the media can be influential.

The only frustrating thing about jail is that I can’t make music.

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.

A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

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.

I’m committed to the fight game.

Players who are not from the U.K. have to get used to the winds. I have to adapt my style as a result as well. Often, you are forced to keep things simple.

Frustration is a sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the doors will stay closed.

As an athlete, you’d better laugh at yourself when you slip in the mud.

Oh, I can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.

I can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.

Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.

Basketball is booming, and it’s not just an Under Armour standpoint: it’s about the game itself. Kids going out and playing and being inspired by what we do on the court.

I failed to make the chess team because of my height.

How you played in yesterday’s game is all that counts.

I don’t know about the 2026 World Cup. But I would love to see Anirudh Thapa sending a cross to Jhingan and I would love to watch it from the stands.

I have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory… And why not? Victory is good for you, and don’t let anybody tell you different.

I just want to do well with the national team.

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

Over the years, all my coaches and my teammates have contributed a lot to shape my career. I can never forget their contribution and help.

There are two bowlers who I think are very tough to play against – Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel.

All my life, I’ve been trying to make a hole-in-one. The closest I’ve come is a bogey.

I rate Fabien Barthez and played with two great keepers in Alex Stepney and Harry Gregg.

The day I think I’m not enjoying the game and contributing the way I would like to, I’ll hang up my boots.

Maybe the ones burning my jersey were never LeBron fans anyway.

I hope to play until I’m, like, 38 or something, and that’s a lot of years in the game and a lot of travel and a lot of sacrifice on my family’s part.

I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager Herman Franks came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel’s suitcase.

It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Watergate had become the center of the media’s universe, and during the remaining year of my presidency the media tried to force everything else to revolve around it.

Without sounding biased, 70 days of football is not enough. Even if Messi plays 70 days he cannot be in the national team. You need to play around the year to be in contention for the national team.

Everyone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.

I have a form of Parkinson’s disease, which I don’t like. My legs don’t move when my brain tells them to. It’s very frustrating.
