As a part of the NFL, things change every year.

Yes, it is one of my ultimate aims – it is the ultimate sense of football: to make the people happy, to let them live some emotions that you usually can’t get.

After the first day of practice, there’s not one guy who’s playing at 100 percent or who feels great. Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the hardest part of the day – it just hurts.

Once it gets down to single-digit games, you know the season’s end is approaching, and we’re all pretty physically tired.

Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games.

I like to get out and get up the court, using my speed and aggressiveness toward the hoop.

The English game is not faster than the German game. Perhaps there are a few more sprints. But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather.

Every time I get in the McLaren I feel more comfortable, my confidence increases and I feel more at home with the team.

Be a player; don’t play yourself. And don’t play basketball. That’s not your sport, Jeb Bush.

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

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

In England, when an athlete gets to the top, we do our best to destroy him.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

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.

The joy of doing well as a batsman for your country is much more than that little joy of going for a party and enjoying music. It is a completely different high, and I get high by performances. That’s what I enjoy now.

When I watch professional football, I love listening to John Madden because I know he knows what he’s talking about. He’s been both down in the trenches and in front of the bench as a coach. He knows the game.

I get a little bit emotional during a game!

I saw 14 games in two and a half months at Churchill. It was what I really signed for. They were eyeing the championship and also playing the AFC Cup. So I am very thankful for Churchill, the coaching staff and the players.

I’ve always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I’ve always said is the best coach in the history of the league.

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.

In T20, you don’t have time to get distracted – it’s so quick, you have to run around in the field, and while batting, you don’t actually think about anything else.

At the end of 2003, my game was complete. Shooting, defense, using the dribble, transition, midrange stuff was all there. Then it was about fine-tuning and trying to improve in each area.

My goal is to be number one in MMA.

I have really been disillusioned with soccer in England.

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

No boxer in the history of boxing has had Parkinson’s. There’s no injury in my brain that suggests that the illness came from boxing.

Every season is a new challenge to me, and I always set out to improve in terms of games, goals, assists.

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’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.

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

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.

I make impact plays. I make game-changing plays.

I was 19 or 20 when The Beatles were at their peak, and I was coming up to the peak of my career, too. I was also the first footballer to have long hair, and that’s how I got my nickname ‚the Fifth Beatle.‘

I was acting when I was playing baseball.

I focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.

Football is a sad game.

There’s many ups and downs in the fight game.

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

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.

I’ve met some Evertonians in the street, and they’ve been friendly. I’ve had taxi drivers who have been Everton fans. They’ve been really nice.

I was totally dominated and revered my father. I admired everything he did. He was a great sports person. He loved me. I was his only boy at that time, before my brother Billy came along.

When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.

You know, I’m trying to chase rings, and that’s all I’m about. So that’s where the conversation stops for me.

I have never cared especially for outdoor sports and have no desire to excel at tennis, swimming, or golf. I’ll leave those things to the men.

The old Dodgers were something special, but of my teammates overall, there was nobody like Pee Wee Reese for me.

The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman.

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961.

I can’t say this enough – the food that you put into your bodies can actually help you get better grades. And it can also affect your performance in sports and other activities too. You see, when you give your body the best possible fuel, you have more energy, you’re stronger, you think more quickly.

I’m always hungry to score.

Duke is an ugly word in Kentucky. Nothing in the world compares to the joy of beating those hateful swine from Duke.

If I hit a man, his head is gonna go into the bleachers.

I played a great horse yesterday! It took seven horses to beat him.

If you are a professional player and you are playing in the top professional league, you are sorted financially, which is good.

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

I’m much more comfortable and confident running out on the field in front of 70,000 people instead of standing in front of a camera trying to say some lines. The people who do that as a profession are very talented because it’s certainly not easy.

We should play free football, defend lively with a passion, and have the best understanding in offence.

Louis van Gaal is one of the most successful managers in the world.

I still love football, though, and I think cooking is like football. It’s not a job, it’s a passion. When you become good at it, it’s a dream job and financially you need never to worry. Ever.

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

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.
