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

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

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

I’m always hungry to score.

Serious sport is war minus the shooting.

Football is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.

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.

We murdered them 0-0.

At 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.

Players today moan about the number of games, but when you’re young, you can’t play enough.

I didn’t play soccer; I played that other football in grade school through college.

If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I’d draw the curtains.

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

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

What a great day for football, all we need is some green grass and a ball.

To 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.

A lifetime contract for a coach means if you’re ahead in the third quarter and moving the ball, they can’t fire you.

Even if soccer is not number one in the United States, they do things very well here. There’s much our country can learn from the U.S.A., because we all know that soccer is not the main game in India. We can still do more things, like provide better facilities for the players so they can perform well.

When 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.

I’m looking forward to the intensity of football and how the people live football in Liverpool. It’s a special club.

Politics is like football; if you see daylight, go through the hole.

Nothing extraordinary happens to a cricketer if you time his career – which is very short.

They’ll forget all the rubbish when I’ve gone, and they’ll remember the football. If only one person thinks I’m the best player in the world, that’s good enough for me.

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.

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

February is always a bad month for TV sports. Football is gone, basketball is plodding along in the annual midseason doldrums, and baseball is not even mentioned.

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

Every 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.

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

Football is a sad game.

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 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.

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

I’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn’t much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn’t even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.

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

In an individual sport, yes, you have to win titles. Baseball’s different. But basketball, hockey? One person can control the tempo of a game, can completely alter the momentum of a series. There’s a lot of great individual talent.

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

The more minutes you play and the more grind and physical play you endure through the course of a season, you have to re-charge and get your body right for the next season. Be in that weight room and conditioning and that kind of deal.

The best thing about the Kentucky Derby is that it is only two minutes long. It is the quickest event in sports, except for Sumo-wrestling & Mike Tyson fights. Maybe Drag-racing is quicker, but I have never been attracted to it.

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

Men like a ref decision because they just want to get back to the game.

Whoever the coach is, my job is to talk to him, understand him and be a better player under him and give my best.

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

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

I love watching track and field – the 4×100 relay, the 100-(meter) dash, the 200-(meter) dash. To see what they’re able to do, I love watching that.

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

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It’s good for them.

ESPN is a great organization to work for.

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

When I was playing, there were always lots of teams in contention for the league – Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Leeds. Every week was a big game and a big battle.

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.

I saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It’s what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.

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

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

It all went wrong with football, the thing I loved most of all, and from there, my life slowly fell apart.

Players now have a groin injury for months and months, and I often think they don’t really give a toss whether they’re playing or not because they’re getting paid anyway.

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

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.

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

I support Real Madrid. I’m a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.
