By showing myself being out with my dog or playing sports, it motivates people to get active.
I’ve been playing sports since I was five. For me, there’s no happier moment than when I’m out in the woods on a bike or a run. I feel on top of the world, and nothing else makes me feel that way.
We don’t take ourselves very seriously and view working at Barstool Sports as a way to avoid becoming slaves to cubicle life.

I love to talk about sports. I love sports; it’s just something that’s in my nature.
I’m interested in all kinds of sports. I’ll glance at the front page and then go straight to sports and then I’ll come back to the rest of the paper.
Sports are basically our way of feeling sorry for ourselves. Most men can’t become athletes. We’re watching guys who actually made it. We see them dunking and making touchdowns. Then we think about ourselves when we were younger.
You just have to always go out and continue to work hard, watch the film, see what you did wrong from an offensive unit and individually. Then, you just have to go out and do better the next time out. That is what sports is all about.
I remember, when I was a little kid, I was good at sports, and I could jump off the high board. And then puberty hit, and suddenly I was looking to boys for direction. I remember that as a great loss.

I believe cricket is big part of this country’s culture, like all sports but cricket is the most dominant in our country. It is in our blood and even if you don’t sit and watch it, the sound of cricket represents summer.
Sports passion is deeply, infamously territorial: our city-state is better than your city-state because our city-state’s team beat your city-state’s team. My attachment to the Sonics is approximately the reverse of this.
