I liked baseball and sports and Garbage Pail Kids and comic books. I know what it's like to really adore something.
Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable.
Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.
I've always called L.A. 'the world capital of sport.'
The true value of sport is more than the skills that young people learn.
I was so tired of playing tennis, so tired of traveling, of hotels, everything related to this sport.
But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid, that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen.
Even though people involved in racing think that it has a big sporting stage, it is a minority sport compared to some of the other high-profile events: football, Formula One or golf.
I think I'm skilful enough, but I don't consider myself a naturally talented, gifted sports person.
You don't have to be Einstein to see that horse racing is dangerous. Those two ambulances driving behind you aren't there for the scenery. I will never get over the fatalities of colleagues. It is the saddest and toughest part of this sport.

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.
Our sport is not made for anybody to be able to play it, especially at the NFL level, so there's obviously some risk that we all take knowingly.
I have coaching friends, and when we get together, we often talk more about what we're doing to get players' attention than we do about the fascinating X's and O's of our sport.
Sports is like a war without the killing.
We play a sport. It's a game. At the end of the day, that's all it is, is a game. It doesn't make you any better or any worse than anybody else. So by winning a game, you're no better. By losing a game, you're no worse. I think by keeping that mental...
