The families of many athletes - incensed at the sports leagues and hoping to make games safer overall - are increasingly making the brains of players who die prematurely and suspiciously available for study. Some athletes are even making the bequest themselves.

I think sometimes when it comes to sports and especially relationships between players and coaches that people lose track lose a sense of reality.

Baseball is a public trust. Players turn over owners turn over and certain commissioners turn over. But baseball goes on.

I'm not buddy-buddy with the players. If they need a buddy let them buy a dog.

The fewer rules a coach has the fewer rules there are for players to break.

He's going to be around a long long time if his body holds up. That's always a concern with a lot of players because of how much they play. A lot of guys can't handle it. But it looks like he can.

The players wanted more money higher salary caps and they didn't have that family relationship we felt with the players. Mentally the players were more businesslike.

It is one of my pet hates when I see players who have agents who do everything for them. They don't know how to set up their own bank accounts they don't know what they are spending their money on and they can't make their own decisions.

I have 23 top players and they are all ready to put on the jersey and work on the pitch and that makes you happy and then you have peace of mind.

Women by their nature are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters.
