I love sports, but I don't like live sporting events, because I don't like sitting in the crowd. I like listening to records, but I don't like going to concerts, because I don't like standing in the crowd. I guess I just don't like being in the crowd itself.
The important thing is to get the right players on the team so Mike can be successful.
I think the Pistons have such a well rounded team, which is why they're so successful. All you have to do is look at the stats defensively and at their rebounding and scoring.
I have seen children shot in El Salvador, Algeria, Guatemala, Sarajevo, but I have never before watched soldiers entice children like mice into a trap and murder them for sport.
We make a living playing basketball. You don't have to be a tough guy or a hard-ass to play this sport. You can be tough but you don't have to have that bravado. Sometimes it's good. But I'm not going to be someone I'm not. It's just me being me.
Hockey is not a sport - it's a disease.
Cartooning is preaching. And I think we have a right to do some preaching. I hate shallow humor. I hate shallow religious humor, I hate shallow sports humor, I hate shallowness of any kind.
I don't know what that gas is made of, but it can't smell any worse than Ernie Johnson 's gym bag.
This place? Nothing positive. OK, I want to say something positive. It's positively a dump.
There's nobody you'd rather beat than your good friend.
I don't think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.
The American College of Sports Medicine found that the productivity of people after exercise was an average of 65 percent higher than those who did not exercise. If I have something that's really bothering me, so much that it almost hurts my head to try to sort it out, I always find the solution in a puddle of sweat! Intense exercise is like taking a magic pill that gives you the ability to solve problems like a superhero.
I came in here and a fella asked me to have a drink. I said I don't drink. Then another fella said hear you and Joe DiMaggio aren't speaking and I said I'll take that drink.
If you're so smart, let's see you get out of the Army.
Whenever I decided to release a guy, I always had his room searched first for a gun. You couldn't take any chances with some of them birds.
I was not successful as a ball player, as it was a game of skill.
[When asked how someone 6'3" had dared take up golf:] I was too tall to make the chess team in my high school, so I tried golf.
A serious athlete to me is one who is committed to excellence at any level, at any age, in any endeavor and in either sex. This commitment begins with a dream and a sense of talent and skill and determination to make that dream come true.
I knew it was gonna go out. It was just a question of it being fair or foul. The wind must have carried it 15 feet toward the foul pole. I just stood there and watched. I didn't want to miss seeing it go out.
It's funny. Some people remember that a lot more than I do. I remember certain parts of it, and if everybody who mentioned that to me had been to the game who said they were at the game, there'd be 800,000 people at that game, I think.
I'm a fastball hitter. It's no secret I'm looking for a fastball every pitch. I think it's one of the hardest things to do in sports-to hit a moving baseball.
We've gotten so much as a result of the changes. Part of our responsibility is to give something back to the game and the girls who are just starting to play.
I was a lousy hitter in May doing the same things that made me a great hitter in June.
Your longevity in the sport is governed by how you live in between the fights.
You hear the same thing every year but that is because it is true. In a short series, pitching is very dominant.
