Sports Quotes

I had talked for years about doing a restaurant with Rocky Dudum, who’s been my friend since I first came to San Francisco. Then Rocky’s son, Jeff, said he wanted to design it, so he traveled around the country to sports restaurants like Mickey Mantle’s and Michael Jordan’s, and he came up with a great concept Picture Quote #1

That’s what I like about sports. No matter if everyone playing the game speaks completely different languages, on the field, or the court, wherever they are playing, the language of moves and passes and scores is all the same. Universal Picture Quote #1

You see so many different personalities and mind-sets in the world of sports, just like you do with actors Picture Quote #1

Other sports culminate at different times of the year, but the NFL is in the fourth quarter - that’s where the money is Picture Quote #1

Funding for sports (and the arts) are often the first things facing the chop in difficult times Picture Quote #1

Traveling around, it’s difficult to follow much TV. Mainly I’m somebody who watches sports Picture Quote #1

Growing up, around the dinner table my father and I didn’t talk sports. We talked business Picture Quote #1

I know when I have kids, when I’m older, I’m going to encourage them to play sports because I think it teaches you a lot. It teaches you discipline, teamwork, and that there’s really no ‘I’ in team Picture Quote #1

Middle grade fiction, to me, is really about emergence of self. It’s about expressing the idea that the world is going to start affecting you more, and your parents’ influence is going to wane. Middle grade is when a lot of kids discover their passions - art, music, sports, what have you Picture Quote #1

I did everything when I started. In Miami I did news, I did weather, I did sports, I did disk-jockeying. And I did a sports talk show every week - every Saturday night Picture Quote #1

Swimming is probably the ultimate of burnout sports. It’s ironic because millions of people who swim as their regular exercise love the meditation aspect of it; you don’t wind up with any orthopedic injuries. But when you swim at a world class level for hours and hours - the loneness of the long distance runner Picture Quote #1

People aren’t familiar with wheelchair sports. The only film crew in Athens for the Paralympics was the documentary crew Picture Quote #1

The sports are also hard on my body, and I do have a longstanding bad back due to an injury some years ago. I don’t regret any part of it though. I love what I do and my sporting career has taken me to some wonderful places and seeing the world Picture Quote #1

The best thing about the Kentucky Derby is that it is only two minutes long. It is the quickest event in sports, except for Sumo-wrestling and Mike Tyson fights. Maybe Drag-racing is quicker, but I have never been attracted to it Picture Quote #1

Every child should have time for arts, music, sports, drama, robotics, school newspapers and the like, not to mention recess and play Picture Quote #1

I was never really a nerd. I’m not really into comic books or Dungeons and Dragons or any of that kind of stuff. I was in drama class, and I’m a big movie and music buff. And I’m into sports Picture Quote #1

I got amazing training both with Theatre Sports... back in Edmonton, Alberta - I can’t give those people enough credit - and the daytime drama I did. Incredible training, both of them Picture Quote #1

I wanted to make a film that wouldn’t just appeal to Formula One fans. That’s what the great sports documentaries do - ‘Hoop Dreams,’ ‘When We Were Kings’ - they’re human dramas first, sport second, if at all Picture Quote #1

People always ask you, ‘What’s your dream job?’ This is my dream job. It really is a dream opportunity to have your own nationwide daily sports talk show for an hour Picture Quote #1

I have been a sports fan my whole life. To be able to talk about sports in an intelligent, journalistic fashion and to do things of a serious nature is a dream job Picture Quote #1

I suspect millions of people from my generation probably have comparable stories to tell: if not of sports simulations then of Dungeons and Dragons, or the geopolitical strategy of games like Diplomacy, a kind of chess superimposed onto actual history Picture Quote #1

Westward, beyond the still pleasant, but, even then, no longer solitary, hamlet of Charing, a broad space, broken here and there by scattered houses and venerable pollards, in the early spring of 1467, presented the rural scene for the sports and pastimes of the inhabitants of Westminister and London Picture Quote #1

If you don’t eat right as an athlete, you’ll get tired and won’t be as sharp. It’s simple to drink sodas and sports drinks, but water is the most essential drink to put in your body Picture Quote #1

I played sports, so I understood quickly I shouldn’t be eating fast food because it was slowing me down, making me feel lousy and lazy, and my instincts were not working as they should Picture Quote #1

My favorite way to spend Saturday is in and out of bed, watching sports on TV and eating Picture Quote #1

Eating is really one of your indoor sports. You play three times a day, and it’s well worth while to make the game as pleasant as possible Picture Quote #1

If the government announced that it was going to allocate a vast tranche of education funding purely to the pupils at the best public schools, there would be a national outcry - and yet this is precisely what the Olympics represents in terms of sports funding Picture Quote #1

Through the years I have received my share of recognition for efforts in the fields of sports, the arts, the struggle for full citizenship for the Negro people, labor’s rights and the fight for peace Picture Quote #1

In the field of outdoor sports, the American boy is easily capable of devising his own amusements, and until some proof is adduced that baseball is not his invention, I protest against this systematic effort to rob him of his dues Picture Quote #1

I see similarities in the sports I played growing up in the sense of how I tackle a role when I get a job. A lot of effort goes in on an individual basis. There is a lot of time spent by yourself working on your craft and what you have to do. But, at the end of the day, you’re there to serve the movie just like you would the rugby team Picture Quote #1
