I think that people who have played sports have an ability to relate to people because when you're playing you have to work on teams and with opposing players.

I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.

My four older brothers were my favorite players. That's why I got into football and sports.

The two major things that changed the makeup of all professional sports are money generated by television and courts that players went to in order to win their freedom as free agents.

I was a ballplayer but only for a limited time. I grew up playing in Wisconsin. It's a very sports-centric part of the country that I grew up in and I played a lot of sports but baseball first and foremost. I played through high school. I was a middle-infielder.

If I stayed a football player my career would have been over 20 years ago. As it is my knees are shot. I found I got the same good feeling in acting that I had in sports but I found I could have a more profound impact on people.

I come from a sports family and my husband is a rugby player.

My tastes in all things lean towards the arty and boring. I like sports documentaries about Scrabble players bands that play quiet unassuming music and TV shows that win awards. In that way I am an elitist snob.

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.

I feel like football players are overworked and underpaid compared to any other sports.

We're going to have more kids playing and we're going to have a better chance of finding those players Minor sports in a community is for fun and recreation. For everyone.

Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested Crystal Palace being one but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.

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.

I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they'd be what position they'd play and so on.

He's got everything. He' not a great player yet because he hasn't won any major championships but it's a matter of time. He's an outstanding talent. I didn't realize how tall he is.

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.

I went through baseball as 'a player to be named later.'

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.

Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.

The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the front. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back.

All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity.
