I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.

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.

Competition is the keen cutting edge of business, always shaving away at costs.

You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.

I used to rush home to see ‚Match Of The Day.‘ Whatever I was doing, I wouldn’t miss it.

Bring them on.

I don’t think there is anything wrong in earning money from the sport you love. If you work hard and get benefits from it, there is no harm. The day you feel that you are not working hard and are only looking at the benefits, that’s where the problem is.

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

And winning is a huge thing for me.

The bat is not a toy, it’s a weapon. It gives me everything in life, which helps me to do everything on the field.

People have asked me a lot of times, because I didn’t hit a lot, how long a dozen bats would last me. Depending on the weight and model I was using at that time – I would say eight to 10 cookouts.

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

I’m extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that… it sounds, well, I don’t care how it sounds – to me, scoring comes easy. It’s not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.

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

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.

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.

Domination and monopoly is the name of the game in the web marketplace.

My first win feels better than a draw!

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

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

No matter how beautiful a woman might be, you’re always threatened by certain… You’re always threatened by other women, period.

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.

If 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.

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

I was a naturally aggressive left-back, a cut-throat tackler.

Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.

Marathon running, like golf, is a game for players, not winners. That is why Callaway sells golf clubs and Nike sells running shoes. But running is unique in that the world’s best racers are on the same course, at the same time, as amateurs, who have as much chance of winning as your average weekend warrior would scoring a touchdown in the NFL.

I had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.

The first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.

The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.

I was a little worried that young people would think the only game was being political and manipulative when really the bigger game is being so good at what you do that nobody can argue with your results.

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

I like playing for the purple and gold. This is where I want to finish up.

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.

Everyone loves a win in India. No one wants to lose a match. It is the cricketer who absorbs all the pressure.

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

Some people take defeat and losses a certain way. You see how some fighters take losses.

Football is unconditional love.

You’re never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you’re never as bad as they say when you lose.

The last game I played in college was in the NIT against St. Mary’s. That was the first time I had come to the Oakland area. So, the last game I played in college and the first game of my NBA career were out here in the Bay Area. It’s pretty cool.

I won at every level – all the way since I started playing the game of basketball at nine. I’ve won at every level, won championships at every level. And, you know, it won’t be fulfilled until I win at the highest level.

The more players I have, the more difficult choices there are for me, but the better it is for LFC.

SpaceX has the potential of saving the U.S. government $1 billion a year. We are opposed to creating an entrenched monopoly with no realistic means for anyone to compete.

What the ISL has done is create the hype and buzz around football that it very badly needs.

An atheist is a man who watches a Notre Dame – Southern Methodist University game and doesn’t care who wins.

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

The 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.

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

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

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.

I’ve been so blessed to play for the greatest coach at a time when our organization has done incredible things. I’ve played with the best teammates. Playing for Mr. Kraft and what his influence on the team has been.

When we are thinking about stuff like embeds, we are not thinking about how we are competing with YouTube. We are thinking about how are we going to make it more useful for people to share stuff on Facebook.

A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.

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

Competition gives me energy. It keeps me focused.

As long as I am playing competitive football I am happy.

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

Competition is a sin.

I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players‘ equipment.

In my line of work, the enemy gets a vote.
