3 December 2020 Ben Hogan Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.
3 December 2020 Bret Easton Ellis Everyone I know who is successful has issues with their father, regardless of whether it was sports or business or entertainment.
3 December 2020 Harlan Coben 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.
3 December 2020 John Madden That’s the biggest gap in sports, the difference between the winner and the loser of the Super Bowl.
3 December 2020 Willie Mays I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time, then you really don’t have a good life.
3 December 2020 Mick Cornett We’ve seen the kind of social impact a professional sports team has on a city. A team brings high-profile role models into your community who are healthy and they’re great images for the city to gravitate toward, especially for kids.
3 December 2020 Lou Holtz 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.
3 December 2020 Bob Beamon I think track is still one of the most exciting participant sports, but we haven’t been able to capitalize on that excitement through television and the print media.
3 December 2020 Krista Allen I love that men like to look at women, that they love sports, that they need to know the inner workings of mechanical objects. I love the whole makeup of men – that they never mature and are always just boys.
3 December 2020 Billie Jean King 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.
3 December 2020 William Landay I love sports, as all Bostonians seem to. I love books and movies, as all writers seem to.
3 December 2020 J. C. Watts 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.
3 December 2020 Joe Rogan Your body’s really only meant to compete at the highest levels of combat sports for a few years.
3 December 2020 Gerald R. Ford I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.
3 December 2020 Sanford I. Weill I think life is sort of like a competition, whether it’s in sports, or it’s achieving in school, or it’s achieving good relationships with people. And competition is a little bit of what it’s all about.
3 December 2020 Juan Pablo Montoya I think it’s good for sports cars to be united, to be just one. I think it’s good for the fans. When you have two different series, fans don’t know which way to go, when you only have one I think it’s good for the sport.
3 December 2020 Dax Shepard All of my free time is made up of motor sports endeavors, be them motorcycles or off-road racing or track days. I just love anything with an engine. That is one of my main loves. Obviously, my other well-known love is Kristen Bell.
3 December 2020 Joe Garagiola One thing you learned as a Cubs fan: when you bought you ticket, you could bank on seeing the bottom of the ninth.
3 December 2020 Mike Davidson For the tiny percentage of people who are negatively affected by our embracing of standards, they can just get their sports somewhere else in the meantime. It’s not like we’re denying them hospital care.
3 December 2020 John Hodgman All I can ask from society is that it please stop telling me why I should like sports.
3 December 2020 Tommy Bolt If you are going to throw a club, it is important to throw it ahead of you, down the fairway, so you don’t have to waste energy going back to pick it up.
3 December 2020 Gerald R. Ford I love sports. Whenever I can, I always watch the Detroit Tigers on the radio.
3 December 2020 Kenny Chesney It sounds like a cliche, but it… you do sing about what you know about. And I grew up in a small town, and I grew up in a place where your whole world revolved around friends, family, school, and church, and sports.
