My favorite sports novel is End Zone by Delillo. It’s such a great looking book too, the black cover with the football player on it. It’s just a fantastic little book Picture Quote #1

Sports are basically our way of feeling sorry for ourselves. Most men can’t become athletes. We’re watching guys who actually made it. We see them dunking and making touchdowns. Then we think about ourselves when we were younger Picture Quote #1

Competing in show jumping is a school of life. And it’s one of the few Olympic sports where men and women are equal Picture Quote #1

We used to flock to watch gladiators, public torture and executions. In more recent times, our appetite for mortal violence has been sublimated in sports, photorealistic video games, film and literature Picture Quote #1

Lake Pend Oreille is definitely my favorite place to be while in Sandpoint. I love to get out on a boat to enjoy water sports, camping, fishing, or just to relax and catch a sunset Picture Quote #1

If you see in sports at a super high level, people get hurt or have injuries when there isn’t that pleasure, the true pleasure of the sport, when they’re tired or demoralized or they’re not quite focused Picture Quote #1

Sports are the ultimate secular religion. Instead of being worried about whether your kids will be okay or how your job is going, you have your team, and you can focus all of your angst and your hopes and dreams on your team. I am in no way saying it always relieves any of this! Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a very ‘Friday Night Lights,’ sports-focused town. I did not play the sports. I was never bullied physically, but I was called names. I was also an overweight kid. I knew what it’s like to feel like the other, to feel written off for things that were not in my control - my appearance, my interests Picture Quote #1

Boxing should focus on pitting champion versus champion - those are the fights that everyone wants to see. The sports also needs to work on developing new heroes and personalities. I’d like to see more vignettes on fighters, focusing on their lives, goals and stories. Boxers need to be larger than life Picture Quote #1

When I was at AOL, I was always on the web media side while much of the company was focused on the ISP business. We focused on big categories like celebrities and sports, and we created brands around that category like AOL Celebrities, AOL Movies and Fanhouse Picture Quote #1

The problem with winter sports is that -- follow me closely here -- they generally take place in winter Picture Quote #1

People don’t realize how much the food industry has infiltrated all aspects of our children’s lived experience, including their experience at school. There are sponsored curricula by food companies, they’re also in our schools with logos sponsoring sports teams Picture Quote #1

Politics is comparable to boxing. The only thing is that in politics there are basically no rules. In boxing, you can get a black eye, but in politics you can get poison in your food or a bullet in the head. It’s definitely rougher and tougher than other sports Picture Quote #1

I like watching sports. I like going to sports games and that’s kind of my life during football season for sure Picture Quote #1

In my family, Mom can lead the sports activities, no problem! Except football - that, my husband does Picture Quote #1

Sports like baseball or baseball are easy to dramatise, because all of them have a pause and that helps with the tension. Football never stops. I’m a football fan. I believe in the beauty of the game Picture Quote #1

Until Sammy Baugh - pro football in Texas was a one-paragraph story on the third page of the Monday sports section Picture Quote #1

I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they’d be, what position they’d play and so on Picture Quote #1

It takes a tremendous amount of skill to be a football player. And some of these guys have enough skills to do other sports. Soccer could be one. Basketball could be another. Things where you need incredible hand-eye coordination are always options. I think a football player would be able to adapt to a lot of sports Picture Quote #1

The world is not kind to whistleblowers - a term of art with particular resonance in football, the most hierarchical and repressive of organized sports, a world of ‘systems’ and ‘programs’ and scripted plays, where reading a medical report requires a security clearance, and practice fields are patrolled like Guantanamo Bay Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Sports is like rock ‘n’ roll. Both are dominant cultural forces, both speak an international language, and both are all about emotions Picture Quote #1

Men forget everything; women remember everything. That’s why men need instant replay in sports. They’ve already forgotten what’s happened Picture Quote #1

At Reliance Foundation schools, we lay special emphasis on value-based education, sports, and overall development of students. That is why the teacher-students ratio is kept at a healthy 1:20 so that all children get proper attention in class Picture Quote #1

My parents never forced things on my brother and me: not our faith, not our sports, not our friends. Yet they taught us about surrounding ourselves with the right people: the kind of people we want to be Picture Quote #1
