I’m a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They’re great for you limber-wise, they’re great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.

I’m never in the same place for more than, like, three days at a time. Things can change from one minute to the next.

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.

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

Bobby Knight told me this: ‚There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.‘ In other words a good offense wins.

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

Football is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.

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

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

One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.

The Paralympic Games is about transforming our perception of the world.

TV’s a big deal in prison. A big deal. People watch it nonstop.

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

Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.

The biggest thing is just routine. I think that’s the biggest correlation between golfers and basketball players.

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.

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.

All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don’t know except it looked good.

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 allergies, and I’ve had my share of nosebleeds, but that’s usually related to pollen.

Genius is always allowed some leeway, once the hammer has been pried from its hands and the blood has been cleaned up.

Fatigue is the best pillow.

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

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.

I 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.

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.

Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.

I was a good football player, and I had a chance to play with some great players.

We knew sports was important to us and our family, but there are priorities in life.Obviously, faith is foremost; how we did in school is important. If we didn’t handle that business then there were no privileges.

I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone’s inside virtually going everywhere they want to go, virtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.

There is something special which rides on a game between Liverpool and United.

In football, it’s the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate. Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.

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.

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

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

If Tiger Woods had played football, he would have been a quarterback.

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.

In 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.

How do you catch a knuckleball? You wait until it stops rolling, then go pick it up.

That summer after the draft was probably the most fun I’ve ever had, because all I had to do every day was wake up and go work out for four or five hours. I got to play some golf, which I love to do, too, and then got to hang out with my family.

Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don’t need it: if you are sick you should not take it.

Mistakes can be corrected by those who pay attention to facts but dogmatism will not be corrected by those who are wedded to a vision.

If you’re a person struggling to eat and stay healthy, you might have heard about Michael Jordan or Muhammad Ali, but you’ll never have heard of Bill Gates.

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.

I enjoyed climbing with other people, good friends, but I did quite a lot of solo climbing, too.

I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that’s for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn’t play golf.

I jog up to the Hollywood sign every weekend. It’s fun and what a view!

I don’t really care how the Patriots are perceived, truthfully. I really don’t. I really don’t. Look, if you’re a fan of our team, you root for us, you believe in our team, and you believe in what we’re trying to accomplish. If you’re not a fan of us, you have a different opinion.

I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.

Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.

March is a month without mercy for rabid basketball fans. There is no such thing as a ‚gentleman gambler‘ when the Big Dance rolls around. All sheep will be fleeced, all fools will be punished severely… There are no Rules when the deal goes down in the final weeks of March. Even your good friends will turn into monsters.

Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.

Apart from the fact that any hardy exercise conduces much to the training and formation of a soldier, pig-sticking tends to give a man what is called a ‚stalker’s eye,‘ but which, par excellence, is the soldier’s eye.

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

I swim like a fish and I have an amazing kick.

After the 12th class exam results, I got a call from Mohun Bagan. They saw me at Durand Cup when I was playing for City Club of Delhi. I thought they might want me for SAIL Academy. Never ever I thought Mohun Bagan is calling me for Mohun Bagan!

If I wished to do something, even if I couldn’t find anyone who wanted to make the effort with me, I would go out solo climbing. I did find solo climbing very challenging and a little frightening. You knew that you were completely on your own, and you had to overcome all the problems and possible dangers.

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.

From the boys‘ point of view, scouting puts them into fraternity-gangs, which is their natural organisation, whether for games, mischief, or loafing; it gives them a smart dress and equipments; it appeals to their imagination and romance; and it engages them in an active, open-air life.

There is one thing I have never taught my body how to do and that is to figure out at 6 A.M. what it wants to eat at 6 P.M.

Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.
