It is a huge honour to be recognised as the world's best commentator, particularly against so many sporting greats.
I'm honored and excited to be chosen to lead MLSE, a world-class sports and entertainment organization with the major league teams, premier facilities and employee team that rank with the very best across North America and internationally.
When you're a child, no matter if you're doing show business or sports or school or anything, you just want to make the adults happy.
Eventually you won't think of 'the Internet business.' You'll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn't clear.
I judge the jobs I've had in this business by the places they took me, and by that standard, there simply has been nothing to match 'The National Sports Daily.'
Unlike any other business in the United States, sports must preserve an illusion of perfect innocence.
Think about it - pro wrestling as an Olympic sport would be pretty cool. Look at figure skating or gymnastics - what is it? It's a choreographed performance that is judged.
I'm reverent toward my sources. History is a team sport, and references are how you support your teammates.
I don't know the history of my sport. I'm not like those people who know everything.
It's incredible in our sport how small the differences are, and we are all aware of that. We're all on a high level and skiing well, and at the end, it's just hundredths that count. Maybe it's just one finger or a hand can change the color of a medal...
It's no surprise that I ended up in sportscasting. I lived this world with my father, Mike Storen. Dad was a sports executive for most of my childhood.
My mom played every sport possible. My dad is 'extremely' competitive. You can't even play Ping-Pong with him.
My dad told us up front, 'Guys, if you want to play sports, go ahead, but it's your decision.'
The Olympic Games must not be an end in itself, they must be a means of creating a vast programme of physical education and sports competitions for all young people.
Apart from education, you need good health, and for that, you need to play sports.
Sporting events like the Olympics have developed and maintained a clear message of promoting gender equality as an essential criterion in the success of any international event.
Oh God, I'm awful at sports. In gym I just try and avoid getting hit in the face.
I go to my favourite tournament, I talk about my favourite sport and it's just a great month of parading.
Kids can have great passion and great ability but if you have the facilities for your particular sport that can give you the inspiration to become a sportsman.
You know, we don't look much alike, but Denzel Washington would make a great sports agent.
I can't say Boston is 'home-home.' It's definitely a place I'm growing accustomed to. It's such a great sports town.
