Instincts are learned on the football field through experience. It's vital in sports because things happen so rapidly that you have to rely on your instincts at times to make quick decisions.

Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?

Skating is one of those sports you unfortunately see people get stuck in.

At the high school level, the coaches get these kids in revenue-driven sports and take them away from baseball. There's so much pressure on these kids to even play spring football. We need to get the African-American players back in the game, which I think would make it not only a better game, but more exciting and entertaining for everyone.

My mother raised me very clearly that if you cross the street, you will die. If you go outside, you will die. If you play sports, you will likely die. That's what I was getting at home.

I think sports can help any country get together.

I was more interested in playing sports than acting. I didn't take acting too seriously until the end of my junior year.

It's not just the kid who's spent every penny from his job to upgrade his car to tell the world he cares about sports cars, it's also the person driving around in a fuel-conscious hybrid electric car, because it's more a message to the world than an effective means of saving fuel, to be quite honest.

Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.

I think, without question, the way someone plays sports shows something about inherently who they are, you know?

When I started really playing music, I pretty much quit sports. I quit everything.

The Olympics are great, but they only truly mean something when the moments that come out of them are bigger than the individual sports.

Some anthems are great for sports. You've got the Russian national anthem... 'O Canada,' how wonderful is that for hockey... but I chose the Italian national song because at my first World Cup, I saw the Italians play four times, and they won all four times - they won the championship.

People forget that track and field is one of the hardest sports because we compete against all the world. There are many sports when you are up against only 15 or 20 countries.

I'm incredibly competitive in all sports in a way that is so mystifying to my wife because she grew up playing the violin and piano. I've always been like that.

I have always looked at the world through the prism of money to some degree. If you could follow the money, it explains a lot of things, in all sorts of aspects of the world. You can look at politics through the prism of money. You can look at art through the prism of money. You can look at sports through the prism of money.

You shouldn't turn on C-SPAN to get your sports update.

When it comes to matters of pro sports, politics or palate, disparate sides claim their party, team and cola to be superior.

One player's influence in football is not as big as in other sports: it's 11 players vs. 11 players.

Wooden was the coach for the UCLA Bruins, arguably the greatest sports coach we ever had.

In December 2010, we embarked on a slightly strange tour of India. We played every kind of gig you could imagine over two weeks, from sports bars to hotel bars to a beautiful outdoor amphitheatre.

As soon as we started playing sports arenas, we thought how great it would be if we could instead play to 25,000 people in our own way - a way we can control it so there's not all kinds of company branding around the show - and do it in a way that celebrates the community.

There isn't quite a feeling you get from playing video games that you get when you're playing sports, which is like a sense of euphoria. You just get the satisfaction of doing something active and feeling good after.

In most sports, your brain and your body will cooperate... But in rock climbing, it is the other way around. Your brain doesn't see the point in climbing upwards. Your brain will tell you to keep as low as possible, to cling to the wall and not get any higher. You have to have your brain persuading your body to do the right movements.

I grew up a little girl in the Soviet Union playing at a small sports club. Tennis gave me my life.

I went through a significant illness in 1991 and had some major surgery, and I made up my mind that I have to get my life in order, and the first thing that I would try to accomplish was to get out of the sports business.

We, in the business world, invest our money to make a profit. Sports teams make a good profit. That's the way the system should work, not taxpayers forking over these dollars to for-profit enterprises.

My family knew, but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.

I know my strengths. Painfully aware of the weaknesses. There's many. I love sports. So working towards a common goal, that's exciting to me.

I also watched a lot of football and sports. I haven't had much time to watch too much TV lately.

If the Russians masterminded fraud for 40 years at the highest state level in sports, operating behind the scenes to corrupt sports, what else are they capable of?

My policy was just to give good things for sports in my region.

My concentration level blocks out everything. Concentration is why some athletes are better than others. You develop that concentration in training and concentrate in a meet.

I was always a mean and lean athlete - not tall - not large.

I overcame size with mechanics.

Not everyone likes sports. Gandhi and Malcolm X come to mind.

I think country needs to have a sporting culture. I think if sports were taken as curriculum in school and are encouraged in right way like government of Maharashtra and Haryana have done given Marks for Sports and encouraging them with good jobs.

Any time Detroit scores more than 100 points and holds the other team below 100 points they almost always win.

He hits it long. His shoulders are impressively quick through the ball. That's where he's getting his power from. He's young and has great elasticity.

Golf is played by twenty million mature American men whose wives think they are out having fun.

My first Olympics was Munich in 1972. I am better now than I was then, in knowledge and experience. The age of top riders generally tends to be older than in other sports because it takes a lot of time to be consistent.

He hits the ball a long way and he knows how to win.

He's got an overall flair for the game. It looks to me like he really loves what he does and he can't wait to get up in the morning, go hit some balls and go play.

When I did sports cartoons, I used to uh, go to fights.

The NBA playoffs have the highest ceiling in all of sports.

I'm not buddy-buddy with the players. If they need a buddy, let them buy a dog.

I like playing many other sports, such as basketball.

For me, it is about creating a career - I'm very interested in the sports side and want to continue to do more stuff in that. But ultimately, what I consider myself to be is an actor, and the more variety I can play will continue to round me out.

I don't know why people question the academic training of an athlete. Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.

The integrity of the game is everything.
