Playing in New England and the Boston area the fans are so passionate about their sports if you don't play well they'll let you know so I know it's not something that they take lightly.

I have just come from a couple of raids where we had a very lively time and some of them had to pull their guns. I found it necessary to punch a few sports myself.

I have spoken with many former athletes and they tell me the best time they had was in sports. I listen to them and use their experience in my career.

The two major things that changed the makeup of all professional sports are money generated by television and courts that players went to in order to win their freedom as free agents.

Football basketball and the Olympic sports all have their problems with banned substances.

Everyone I know who is successful has issues with their father regardless of whether it was sports or business or entertainment.

People in the States used to think that if girls were good at sports their sexuality would be affected.

As a result of Title IX and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had women's sports have arrived.

I think it is that parents just don't kick their kids out the door as much as they used to. I think the demise of sandlot sports has had a lot to do with it.

I like both athletic girls and girly girls. It depends on their personality. I like girls who can go out and play sports with me and throw the football around but you don't want a girl who's too much tougher than you. I like brainy girls who can respond to what I'm saying.

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.

Sports and entertainment are the only places where inner-city kids see themselves being able to succeed. Their intellectual development is something they don't relate to.

For truly it is to be noted that children's plays are not sports and should be deemed as their most serious actions.

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.

There was endless action - not just football but sailboats tennis and other things: movement. There was endless talk - the ambassador at the head of the table laying out the prevailing wisdom but everyone else weighing in with their opinions and taking part.

You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.

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.

Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second.

I want to rip out his heart and feed it to Lennox Lewis. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.

Europeans say they are proud of their social fabric of strong rights for workers and the weak in society.

You shouldn't get to live in society and give nothing back. People complain about their taxes yet they do nothing for the community. That makes me furious.

I think that when we have a better educated society when there is less violence in our cities when people get back into the workforce and have the opportunity to take care of themselves and their families - that for me really is the kind of success and the kind of America that I think most of us still want we aspire to.

I think every artist should follow their vision their hearts is what they need to reveal not something that society is looking out for.
