- Talk radio has almost ruined the sports fan.
- Phil Simms on Sports
- 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.
- Haruki Murakami on Sports
- Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.
- Roger Kahn on Sports
- Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.
- Billie Jean King on Sports
- Tennis is not like other sports where the coach is hired by an independent entity, and that makes a huge difference in the dynamic.
- Ivan Lendl on Sports
- That's the biggest gap in sports, the difference between the winner and the loser of the Super Bowl.
- John Madden on Sports
- That's the biggest problem with boxing in the United States. They do not promote it like they used to, when it used to be Howard Cosell and they showed it on 'Wide World of Sports.' Everybody knew all the fighters. Everybody was looking forward to the year when the Olympics came on.
- Evander Holyfield on Sports
- That's the difference between golf and many other sports. You go to some other sporting events, they just leave you or give you the cold shoulder and move on.
- Bernhard Langer on Sports
- That's what I'd like to do on the President's Council. Make sports and athletics available to every youth in America, not just one day a week like it was for me, but every day.
- Florence Griffith Joyner on Sports
- That's what Major League Baseball's steroid scandal was all about, the hidden harm in competitive sports that sends the wrong message to the young.
- Suzanne Fields on Sports
- That's what we need nowadays, is more children that have goals other than being a sports figure or some kind of celebrity. I think it's great that a kid wants to learn more and wants to be at the peak of learning, especially at that young.
- Joe Nichols on Sports
- The 'Sports Illustrated' cover was the last thing I shot. That week, I told my agent, 'You know what, I really... I don't want to be a model anymore. I really want to do movies.' And I think he wanted to wring my neck at the moment.
- Brooklyn Decker on Sports
- The addiction to sports, therefore, in a peculiar degree marks an arrested development in man's moral nature.
- Thorstein Veblen on Sports
- The American people are sheep. They're comfortable, rich, working. It's like the Romans, they're happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right.
- Jack Kevorkian on Sports
- The bell that tolls for all in boxing belongs to a cash register.
- The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.
- Carl Lewis on Sports
- The biggest lesson from Africa was that life's joys come mostly from relationships and friendships, not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields they laughed all the time.
- Andrew Shue on Sports
- The biological factors underlying race differences in sports have consequences for educational achievement, crime and sexual behavior.
- J. Philippe Rushton on Sports
- The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.
- Sebastian Vettel on Sports
- The cardinal sin in sports, what could really wreck it, is not cheating to win, which has gone on forever, but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports' appeal, which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed, they're no different from movies they're scripted.
- Michael Mandelbaum on Sports
- The difference between the more traditional sports clubs and Congress is that Congress doesn't really compete against another team.
- Cal Thomas on Sports
- The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the front. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back.
- Steve Garvey on Sports
- The difference in golf and government is that in golf you can't improve your lie.
- George Deukmejian on Sports
- The families of many athletes - incensed at the sports leagues and hoping to make games safer overall - are increasingly making the brains of players who die prematurely and suspiciously available for study. Some athletes are even making the bequest themselves.
- Jeffrey Kluger on Sports
- The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
- John Madden on Sports
- The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.
- Ernest Hemingway on Sports
- The Games are just a nice, positive way to build friendships, camaraderie and, of course, self-esteem. Plus, the Games are a great opportunity for people to participate in sports who normally wouldn't.
- Greg Louganis on Sports
- The importance that our society attaches to sport is incredible. After all, is football a game or a religion? The people of this country have allowed sports to get completely out of hand.
- Howard Cosell on Sports
- The integrity of the game is everything.
- Peter Ueberroth on Sports
- The last few years I became a lot more into sports. Growing up, the sports I liked were independent sports, like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding, and not necessarily team televised sports.
- Mark Hoppus on Sports
- The main thing is healthy eating, exercise, which I do for special events, like if it's Sports Illustrated, or the swim suit catalogue for Victoria's Secret, or my own calendar that I did for the year 2000.
- Heidi Klum on Sports
- The more violent the body contact of the sports you watch, the lower the class.
- Paul Fussell on Sports
- The most important thing you learn as a sports photographer is anticipation - not where the action is taking place, but where it's going to take place. Not where the subject is now, but where they're going to be.
- Lawrence Schiller on Sports
- The newspapers loved pinup pictures of pretty young swimmers, and as a national champion, I got more than my share of space in the sports pages.
- Esther Williams on Sports
- The NFL is such a large, multibillion dollar enterprise with fan loyalty because they have provided not only entertainment for sports fans, but memories, good memories, family memories to these fans, that can only bring about good will.
- Wendell Pierce on Sports
- The Olympic Games must not be an end in itself, they must be a means of creating a vast programme of physical education and sports competitions for all young people.
- Avery Brundage on Sports
- The only consistent hobby I've had is studying Spanish and French because of some delusion of grandeur to work around the world. I love sports but usually I'm looking for the next job.
- William Sanderson on Sports
- The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.
- The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.
- Billy Graham on Sports
- The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.
- Ernie Banks on Sports
- The other thing is this industry has decided it only has one market. Unlike any other industry in the world, unlike film or books or sports even, this industry has decided it has only one market and that's 14 year old boys.
- Rob Walton on Sports
- The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.
- Samuel Richardson on Sports
- The power of a sports team in a community it's almost indescribable.
- Wendell Pierce on Sports
- The presidents of colleges have to have some courage to step forward. You can't limit alcohol in college sports, you have to get rid of it.
- Dean Smith on Sports
- The problem with winter sports is that - follow me closely here - they generally take place in winter.
- Dave Barry on Sports
- The sports page records people's accomplishments, the front page usually records nothing, but man's failures.
- Barbara Walters on Sports
- The sports world is an echo chamber. All it takes is one quote from a general manager and a thousand sports columns bloom.
- Michael Lewis on Sports
- The thing about sports movies is, they can't help but feel epic - putting music to images, etc.
- Lindsey Shaw on Sports
- The things that people do now in sports, you can't even believe. These are complete total athletes. To see what human beings can do in the highest level is amazing.
- Billie Joe Armstrong on Sports
- The tradition in Serbia has always been team sports - football, basketball, handball, volleyball and water polo, individual sports are not supported.
- Novak Djokovic on Sports
