I was a huge Mike Tyson fan growing up; his fights were always on in my house.
J. ColeThey 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.
Mr. TIf you watch any good player, they’re using different parts of their body and working with instruments that respond to those movements. They’re moving in many dimensions at once.
Brian EnoSometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn’t.
LeBron JamesTo share the dressing room of club and country with Bhai was an amazing experience. I learnt a lot from him and other senior players like Renedy Singh.
Sunil ChhetriWhen I won the Golden Gloves in 1960, that made me realize I had a chance. And when I won at the Olympics, that sealed it: I was the champ.
Muhammad AliWhen did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.
LeBron JamesI’m looking forward to the intensity of football and how the people live football in Liverpool. It’s a special club.
Jurgen KloppI do understand it’s not easy to run an I-league club. I have been part of many and I know the scene.
Sunil ChhetriCobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
Babe RuthFootball is a sad game.
George BestTo win a national championship, you’ve got to be a little lucky.
Lou HoltzI hope the fans have enjoyed listening as much as I’ve enjoyed doing the games. I don’t ever go to the park where I don’t have a good day. I don’t like losing. But I don’t think I ever go to the park where I have a bad day. I don’t think once.
Bob UeckerThe next MVP of the Super Bowl is just as likely to have been a full-time grocery store bagger last year as a Heisman Trophy winner.
Hunter S. ThompsonI had been playing for a while, and I asked Louisville Slugger to send me a dozen flame treated bats. But when I got it, I realized they had sent me a box of ashes.
Bob UeckerMy 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.
Clint EastwoodIf 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.
Lou HoltzIn college, a loss is pretty devastating. That feeling kind of goes away in an 82-game season. You hate to lose, but you also have a lot more games to make up for it.
Stephen CurryThe old Dodgers were something special, but of my teammates overall, there was nobody like Pee Wee Reese for me.
Jackie RobinsonI’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.
Tom BradyThere’s many ups and downs in the fight game.
Conor McGregorI don’t want to be called a point guard, but I can’t stop it.
LeBron JamesIf a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.
Erma BombeckI am pretty chill before games. Have a go-to routine that keeps me busy until we are ready to take the court so I’m not just sitting around anxious for the game.
Stephen CurryI want to elongate my cricketing career as a consistent player. I have personal goals I would like to achieve someday.
Virat KohliI idolised IM Vijayan and Krisanu Dey when I started watching football. After that, it was Bhaichung Bhutia in India and Brazilian Ronaldo abroad.
Sunil ChhetriIf I hit a man, his head is gonna go into the bleachers.
Conor McGregorI have always thought I was the best ever player.
George BestI 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.
Gordon RamsayI am not a dreamer. I am a football romantic.
Jurgen KloppIn 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.
Bob UeckerThe Paralympic Games is about transforming our perception of the world.
Stephen HawkingYou can say that 2016 was my finest. It went well for the national team, started by winning the SAFF Cup, we reached the finals of AFC Cup, we reached the semis of ISL. I think it was a fruitful season.
Sunil ChhetriNothing surprises me anymore in the NFL.
Tom BradyI don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.
Kobe BryantI 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.
Jackie RobinsonYou can’t score if you’re turning it over. It’s like a punt. If you go out and you punt 12 times, you’re not scoring points. That’s not good. So, when you turn the ball over and throw interceptions, you’re giving the other team more opportunities and your team less opportunities.
Tom BradyThere is something special which rides on a game between Liverpool and United.
Jurgen KloppEventually you won’t think of ‚the Internet business.‘ You’ll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn’t clear.
Bill GatesThe Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There’s five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.
Jurgen KloppWe want to play the AFC Cup every year.
Sunil ChhetriSerious 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.
George OrwellThere is a place in the net where the keeper cannot reach the ball.
Jurgen KloppAt the start of the season, there are 16 teams in the top division looking behind them, making sure they avoid relegation. The fear starts in the boardroom, comes down to managers and through to players. The fans sense it.
George BestIn football, I don’t have a lot of friends. The people who I really trust, there are not many… Most of the time, I’m alone.
Cristiano RonaldoWhere would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?
Bob UeckerThere’s no point in making predictions. It’s not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.
Cristiano RonaldoFootball is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.
Jurgen KloppI was saluted by Alex Ferguson when I was subbed and that made me very happy.
Cristiano RonaldoI was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one.
George BestI like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.
Joel OsteenI used to pray that God would make me a great athlete, and He never did.
Lou HoltzSo like any football or basketball coach, you always always believe you’re going to win.
Colin PowellI used to rush home to see ‚Match Of The Day.‘ Whatever I was doing, I wouldn’t miss it.
George BestEvery quarterback can throw a ball; every running back can run; every receiver is fast; but that mental toughness that you talk about translates into competitiveness.
Tom BradyWhen the NBA adopted their uniform that they had to wear, I thought that was very interesting. And you see the way NBA players dress: It’s very cool.
Tom BradyWe murdered them 0-0.
Bill ShanklyIf you are a professional player and you are playing in the top professional league, you are sorted financially, which is good.
Sunil ChhetriIn my opinion, baseball is as big a business as anything there is. It has to be a business, the way it is conducted.
Jackie RobinsonIn Boston, they love their sports celebrities. And it’s great.
Tom Brady
