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

When I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don’t take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn’t know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don’t talk about baseball at home.

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

I was acting when I was playing baseball.

I want to elongate my cricketing career as a consistent player. I have personal goals I would like to achieve someday.

The Ronaldo who came to Manchester United had a lot of dribbling, trickery, playing more on the wings and making more assists.

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.

There’s many ups and downs in the fight game.

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

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.

Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others.

Are we a nation that educates the world’s best and brightest in our universities, only to send them home to create businesses in countries that compete against us? Or are we a nation that encourages them to stay and create jobs, businesses, and industries right here in America?

When you can whip any man in the world, you never know peace.

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.

Apple’s market share is bigger than BMW’s or Mercedes’s or Porsche’s in the automotive market. What’s wrong with being BMW or Mercedes?

Even the best and biggest teams in the world do not reach finals of tournaments.

I idolised IM Vijayan and Krisanu Dey when I started watching football. After that, it was Bhaichung Bhutia in India and Brazilian Ronaldo abroad.

I used to dream about taking the ball ‚round the keeper, stopping it on the line, and then getting on my hands and knees and heading it into the net. When I scored against Benfica in the 1968 European Cup final, I nearly did it. I left the keeper for dead, but then I chickened out.

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

I need to do well and show I’m a worthy driver in F1.

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.

My first win feels better than a draw!

Eventually 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.

Football in itself is a grand game for developing a lad physically and also morally, for he learns to play with good temper and unselfishness, to play in his place and ‚play the game,‘ and these are the best of training for any game of life.

I’ve always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I’ve always said is the best coach in the history of the league.

I played a great horse yesterday! It took seven horses to beat him.

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

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

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.

I am a professional sportswriter, among other things, and I take the games seriously. It is only one of my many powerful addictions, and I don’t mind admitting any of them.

Volleyball, I could be pretty good. After a few practices I could be that striker, or whatever they call it.

Look at the world. There is no pure competitor to the United States of America.

We’re very focused on making News Feed really good, making our photos experience really good, making messaging really good, and creating great location apps. That’s the nature of a platform business of our scale. Most companies that are relevant to us will have some overlaps in some competitive way.

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

When I signed up for BFC, then-coach Ashley Westwood wanted me to play on the left as an attacking midfielder. I was not sure initially but I believed in his vision. For the first six-seven games, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I was like a headless chicken. But he kept backing me.

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.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

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

There have been so many great players that I’ve played with, that I’ve played against over the years.

I like playing. I wouldn’t be a good coach. I don’t have the patience to be a coach.

We murdered them 0-0.

I guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.

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.

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

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.

We want to play the AFC Cup every year.

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.

The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time.

I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.

Shooting the ball is a part of the game. Everybody can shoot in their own way. Not everybody can make. But everybody can shoot.

That’s what you live for as a sportsman. You have to put up a fight.

If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win.

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

Unless someone wants to look funny, I’ll not recommend anyone to copy my bowling action. But on a serious note, with the confidence that I have got from the amount of runs I have been scoring, when I’m thrown the ball to bowl, I am pretty sure of what I have to do. I may not be the most attractive to watch while bowling, but I can be effective.

Competition gives me energy. It keeps me focused.

We’ve always had a pretty competitive and pretty ferocious battle with British Airways… It’s lasted now about 14 years, and we’re very pleased to have survived it.

In the absence of sound oversight, responsible businesses are forced to compete against unscrupulous and underhanded businesses, who are unencumbered by any restrictions on activities that might harm the environment, or take advantage of middle-class families, or threaten to bring down the entire financial system.

We don’t want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.

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

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.

Too much TV hurts movies.
