I buy records - vinyl. I have a record player at home.

I'd rather rot on my own floor than be found by a bunch of bingo players in a nursing home.

It's easier to date a football player for sure. Football players have one game a week and they practice every day but they're all at home. In basketball they're on the road all the time.

Major league baseball has asked its players to stop tossing baseballs into the stands during games because they say fans fight over them and they get hurt. In fact the Florida Marlins said that's why they never hit any home runs. It's a safety issue.

Reading isn't good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn't hit home runs. So I gave up reading.

A lot of young players don't really know much about the history of the game and a lot of them are missing out on what the game is all about especially the whole concept of sportsmanship and teamwork.

We will always make sure player health and safety is our No. 1 priority in the NFL.

I'm very confident my health isn't going to allow me to be a good player especially in the spring.

As the National Football League and other pro sports increasingly reckon with the early dementia mental health issues suicides and even criminal behavior of former players the risk of what's known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is becoming clear.

We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in health care. That's a layer of transparency that's sorely needed in America.

The only real happiness a ballplayer has is when he is playing a ball game and accomplishes something he didn't think he could do.

Mistakes are part of the game. It's how well you recover from them that's the mark of a great player.

And that is the reason why this victory is great because different players have made contributions to the win.

The mark of a great player is in his ability to come back. The great champions have all come back from defeat.

Rugby is great. The players don't wear helmets or padding they just beat the living daylights out of each other and then go for a beer. I love that.

I have the loving support of my girlfriend who still attends Wake Forest and is nearing graduation. She helps me cope with the everyday rigors of being an NBA player.

Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play as a team is another story.

I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad but I didn't try to run their lives.

A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.

Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living.

I got a poster from Columbia Records and there's Miles Davis Charlie Mingus Ellington Count Basie - everybody in that poster has died I'm the only one left. And great players like Paul Desmond and Gerry Mulligan it's hard to believe they're gone because we were all so close. But I believe in the future and the tradition will go on.

I think in the future we need to look at our youth department to provide more players for the first team think it is important for a club to have a good amount of players that have roots with the club and region.

People don't realize that I'm really funny and I'm an excellent bridge player.

The funny thing is that I'm the girl who no one sees at the beach. Ask anyone who's traveled with me. Normally I'm in so many layers I look like Lawrence of Arabia!
