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.

I’m always hungry to score.

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

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

I love football and the intensity of football in Liverpool, this is what is very good for me.

The best football is always about expression of emotion. Always.

I don’t think there’s been anything in the game of football in my lifetime that has changed college football more than redshirting.

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

I 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.

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

Players who are not from the U.K. have to get used to the winds. I have to adapt my style as a result as well. Often, you are forced to keep things simple.

The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.

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

Personally yes I want our country to have one league. When it’s going to be one league, which we all are hearing, it has to be abiding by AFC rules.

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

Taking in a baseball game on TV is also a big treat.

Cleveland fans are awesome.

As a kid, I used to see how Sachin Tendulkar used to win matches under pressure for India in Sharjah or other places. So I was always keen to repeat the same in similar situations. I don’t take pressure on myself when I am in the middle. I love pressure, and I always believe that pressure makes you more focused.

‚Rocky‘ and ‚Rocky III‘ were the best.

When you play sports like tennis, you’re alone, and that’s a good school for life, but it’s also a good school for life to bring your best and make those around you better, too – helping others in difficult moments.

One reason I don’t want to play in England again is because we don’t have any personalities.

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

Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.

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

Football is all about fans.

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

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.

In England, you have stadiums in the middle of the city.

I plan on taking athletics as far as I can.

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

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

When 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.

David Beckham has never impressed me.

You 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.

You know, I’m just 6’9 and 260. And just so happen to be very good at playing the game of basketball.“

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!

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.

Team sports aren’t my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don’t need a partner to go running, you don’t need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers.

Football is a sad game.

There is a place in the net where the keeper cannot reach the ball.

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.

Joe Frazier got hit more than me – and he doesn’t have Parkinson’s.

My goal is to be number one in MMA.

Well, I mean, to me, I think my ultimate – my ultimate goal is winning championships and – and I understand that me going down as one of the greats will not happen until I, you know, win a championship.

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

Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.

I don’t think a coach becomes the right coach until he wins a championship.

There are two bowlers who I think are very tough to play against – Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel.

In all my years of baseball, I have always expected to be traded. I never liked the idea.

All an agent is going to do is buy things for a player, damage his eligibility, and make the player dependent on them.

I’m really a normal football manager.

My priority is cricket. Everything that I get apart from it is a result of the effort on the field. Everything else follows. I am pretty aware of my priorities, and I don’t really focus on things that are not as important to me as cricket.

I just want to do well with the national team.

One of the most basic factors in sports is that winning becomes a habit, and losing is the same way. When failure starts to feel normal in your life or your work or even your darkest vices, you won’t have to go looking for trouble, because trouble will find you. Count on it.

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.

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

I had practiced with the team, and the first scheduled game was with the University of Missouri. They made it quite clear to the Army that they would not play a team with a black player on it. Instead of telling me the truth, the Army gave me leave to go home.

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

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

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.
