3 December 2020 Bob Feller Baseball is only a game, a game of inches and a lot of luck. During a time of all-out war, sports are very insignificant.
3 December 2020 Michael Ian Black 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.
3 December 2020 Jessica Biel I’ve been involved with sports my whole life, which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn’t care.
3 December 2020 Lisa Loeb Some people train for certain sports and I want to train to be able to hold a super heavy electric guitar and carry luggage around myself because I always have to have 7,000 pairs of shoes. Who cares about sports?
3 December 2020 Omar Epps Boxing, for me, it’s the beginning of all sports. I’m willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight, so I think that’s something innate in all of us.
3 December 2020 Alan Parsons I’m delighted about the track’s success in the sports world, but the frustrating thing is, I don’t think I got rich on it. The labels and publishers did very cheap deals on our songs.
3 December 2020 Peter Farrelly We really love all sports, but we don’t think in the long term. The reason we did Kingpin was because there was a script we really liked and we saw the possibilities.
3 December 2020 Howard Cosell The importance that our society attaches to sport is incredible. After all, is football a game or a religion? The people of this country have allowed sports to get completely out of hand.
3 December 2020 Edward G. Rendell If you have spent any time with Barack Obama, you know he’s a funny guy. He’s a good guy. He knows sports.
3 December 2020 Michel de Montaigne Even from their infancy we frame them to the sports of love: their instruction, behavior, attire, grace, learning and all their words azimuth only at love, respects only affection. Their nurses and their keepers imprint no other thing in them.
3 December 2020 Mike Piazza 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.
3 December 2020 Gail Simmons I also have a soft spot for spicy chicken wings. They are always best eaten at dives and sports bars, like Wogie’s in the West Village, New York City, near my house.
3 December 2020 Elizabeth Hurley I keep getting these extraordinary letteres, really weird ones from American sports stars – I’ve always thought you were one pretty lady and now that you’re single I want to meet you for a drink.
3 December 2020 Kirsty Gallacher Sports broadcasting is very open now. In the beginning you did encounter more traditional attitudes and get comments. But I’m talking about 12 years ago.
3 December 2020 J. J. Abrams Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister’s head using alginating plaster.
3 December 2020 William Petersen 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.
3 December 2020 Ambrose Bierce Academe, n.: An ancient school where morality and philosophy were taught. Academy, n.: A modern school where football is taught.
3 December 2020 Kal Penn The water cooler conversation in every job I’ve had is sports, it’s what did you do this weekend, it’s ‘How are your parents doing?’
3 December 2020 Ian Botham 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.
3 December 2020 Channing Tatum 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.
3 December 2020 Junior Johnson Since my induction into the Sports Hall of Fame, I have wanted to have my No. 3 Chevy on exhibit for sports fans to see. I hope others will enjoy the car as much as I have.
3 December 2020 Julianna Baggott The truth is that for those 86 long years when the Red Sox went without a World Series win, fans were not only in a recession, but trapped in a longstanding, deeply entrenched sports depression.
