I still have very close ties to Houston and the Astros because that was my first team.
The name of the game is 'kill the quarterback.' Every football team tries to knock the guy out of the game that's handling the ball.
For a football coach, there's nothing that matches the pain of a team not playing up to its capabilities.
Morality binds and blinds. It binds us into teams... but thereby makes us go blind to objective reality.
I've always looked for my affirmation through my peers, the people I race against, and within my team.
My No. 1 priority, and it always has been this, is keeping our team together and making sure we have the right guys in the right positions to make a run at this for a long time.
You would think that Freddy Couples-Nick Price would be the team to beat, but I'll tell you in skins, it's a matter of just hitting it at the right time.
I wake up at about 9 a.m., and have a few hours of school or time to relax. Then, I have practice at 2:30 p.m. with my team.

Scientist 1: Einstein WAS right! Team Leader: Einstein was PROBABLY one of them!
Dutch: [directing his team into the jungle] We move, five meter spread, no sound.
Frank: If you are a part of that team, then my opinion of Notre Dame football just hit the shits!
The most important thing however is the money. What use would it be to us, to have a a mighty stadium but a useless team, because we couldn't afford anything better?
The people who run a university are far more qualified and intelligent in handling people than someone who inherited his money and used it to buy a pro team.
As far as oligarchs who acquire sports team abroad, and invest money abroad, I wouldn't treat this phenomenon as something bad.
Other times you can get showy for three minutes, and that's OK with certain films. But that isn't right with an Ang Lee movie, you have to fit right in. You have to understand Ang, respect him and be part of the team and not be in charge of it - he i...
That's one of the magical things about the Olympics, Team GB will have someone challenging in a sport that we've never watched and all of a sudden it'll be the biggest thing ever.
For reasons that baffle me still, my high school sports coaches put me in the first division of the rugby, cricket, and soccer teams.
