"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
Michael Jordan on Sports"It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling."
Mark Twain on Sports"Golf is a good walk spoiled."
Mark Twain on Sports"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
Hunter S. Thompson on Sports"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after."
Henry David Thoreau on Sports"I began learning the sportswriting business very early in life."
"I wanted to be a sportswriter because I loved sports and I could not hit the curve ball, the jump shot, or the opposing ball carrier."
