There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.
In the seventies we had to make it acceptable for people to accept girls and women as athletes. We had to make it okay for them to be active. Those were much scarier times for females in sports.
I wanted to use sports for social change.
Now I know you expected me to say that well I just kick back in the rocking chair fished a little bit listened to Willie Nelson tapes and watched old baseball games on the Classic Sports network. And tell you the truth I have done that for maybe about five total minutes.
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.
Team sports aren't my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don't need a partner to go running you don't need a particular place like in tennis just a pair of trainers.
I never really participated in specific sports or anything but once I hit 40 I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.
I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.

There are two things that come very easily to me: rooting for New York sports teams and making mistakes.
I don't necessarily love the sports per se I love the stories behind them. Also in a kind of perverse way I like to study what it does to us why we care so much. It's caring about something that's utterly meaningless.
I'm not a big sports fan.
My parents couldn't handle my energy so they enrolled me in every sport the school was offering. I didn't resent it because I loved sports and picked them up easily.
I would love to be associated with some sports organization. I was a journalism major. That's kind of intriguing to do something in the political-commentary arena.
A significant piece of the wealth that the NFL owners garner is a result of the enormous TV revenues they get - and those revenues are supported by a legislatively granted exemption from the antitrust laws that has been made applicable to sports leagues primarily the NFL.
Sports without music is just a game. Music makes it entertaining.
I think sometimes when it comes to sports and especially relationships between players and coaches that people lose track lose a sense of reality.
I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports I wasn't good at anything artsy ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.
Americans' addiction to sports with the NFL at the top is based on the excitement generated by the potential for the unexpected great play which can only happen with honest competition from great athletes.
Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.
Sports is like a war without the killing.
Sports is the toy department of human life.
