All sports for all people.
It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.
To me, it doesn’t matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.
You win some, lose some, and wreck some.
You don’t play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.
Nobody’s a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It’s hard to stay on top.
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second.
New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there. Spill your guts at Wimbledon and they make you stop and clean it up.
I won’t predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible.
The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Home runs win a lot of games, but I never understood why fans are so obsessed with them.
The difference in golf and government is that in golf you can’t improve your lie.
If it doesn’t matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?
Approach the game with no preset agendas and you’ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.
It’s a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.
I don’t want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.
You know it’s going to hell when the best rapper out there is white and the best golfer is black.
We didn’t lose the game; we just ran out of time.
If you watch a game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s golf.
Golf is a game in which you yell ‘fore,’ shoot six, and write down five.
I know I am getting better at golf because I am hitting fewer spectators.
I’m a competitive person and I love the challenge of mastering new things.
What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.
