While playing golf today I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake.

How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?

Serious sport is war minus the shooting.

Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.

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.

I just got out of the hospital. I was in a speed-reading accident. I hit a bookmark.

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

Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.

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

We all know what flopping is when we see it. The stuff that you see is where guys aren’t really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water.

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

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.

When I’m out on the football field, I have so much confidence in what I’m doing.

I played a little basketball. Some football in junior high.

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

Over the years, all my coaches and my teammates have contributed a lot to shape my career. I can never forget their contribution and help.

You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

All the top players in the world play 45-50-60 games. You need that many games, even the strikers need that many games.

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.

I’d just as soon play tennis with the net down.

I plan on taking athletics as far as I can.

Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can’t it happen to me? I’m not worried I’m young – it’s an incentive to do the best I can.

I am not a dreamer. I am a football romantic.

I will fight in many weight divisions.

My first win feels better than a draw!

Once it gets down to single-digit games, you know the season’s end is approaching, and we’re all pretty physically tired.

I’m always hungry to score.

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

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

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.

Football is unconditional love.

I just want to do well with the national team.

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

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

Be a player; don’t play yourself. And don’t play basketball. That’s not your sport, Jeb Bush.

The worst thing is for a player to come to a club and not be able to play.

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 best football is always about expression of emotion. Always.

The first two games for Churchill, I was so jittery that I didn’t know what to do. I was running more but didn’t know what to do. I’ve no bones accepting the fact that I didn’t know what was happening in the game.

Wrestling is intimate. You can reach out and touch the wrestlers.

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

All my life, I’ve been trying to make a hole-in-one. The closest I’ve come is a bogey.

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.

To be honest, there are no problems between me and Messi. People have their own opinions about who they think is the better player. It is what it is, but there is no rivalry beyond games and what happens on the pitch.

I have warned many times about the guaranteed dangers of betting with your heart instead of your head – big darkness, soon come – but every once in a while you get a fair chance to have it both ways, and the annual NCAA basketball Tournament is one of them.

I still enjoy watching a batter successfully cross home plate, but nothing thrills me more than seeing the Holy Spirit at work in hearts as the Gospel is carried into stadiums, across the airwaves, and around the world.

In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.

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

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

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I’ve learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that’s what kids are playing. That’s what people are talking about.

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 didn’t go to school for a full year until I was 12. In the summer I was a wild child in the woods, with no shoes, and in the fall it was back to the city, shoe shops and school.

Without football, my life is worth nothing.

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

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.

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

Fighting football, not serenity football – that is what I like.

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.

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.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.

Everybody asks if putting is like shooting free throws. It has a very similar kind of mindset. And it’s just you, the ball, and the target.
