Thank you… fantasy football draft, for letting me know that even in my fantasies, I am bad at sports.
I started off in sports centers with no promoter, no TV, no backing, just me, my bag and Oliver Harrison, having to sell tickets.
I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s, after my music career got going.
I remember I would always study at the eleventh hour, but still manage to get good marks. I was very active in sports, and I was an extrovert.
When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.
I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts.
I watch movies and sports. I can count on the fingers of my hand the number of times I have watched an hour show. I never watch a half-hour show, and I never watch myself.
Action sports is just in a new era: thinking outside the box, being creative, and inventing new things. I just think people dig that. It’s a new way of being an athlete.
I did some sports. It was a bit frustrating. I wasn’t the greatest sports person.
Sports is remarkably cognitive. I think it’s underrated just how smart it is. Actually, if I had more time, I would spend more time with sports. Watching it, reading about it, I think it’s oddly underrated.
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.
HBO is undeniably a leader in meaningful storytelling in a wide array of formats. I’m honored to join the REAL SPORTS team and look forward to continuing my fervor for uncovering unique and impactful stories.
Tennis was a white, upper-class sport, and I wanted it to be treated like other sports were.
‘Madden’ is all about speed, and the Falcons have it on both sides of the ball. I love playing sports games. I played my PlayStation so much, I pretty much wore it out.
I took the antiquated, outdated, passe role of the wrestling manager, and I upgraded it into the upper echelon of sports entertainment to be known as an advocate.
As you know, the thing that I know the least about is the topic of sports.
In a small town, it’s either sports or a band with your buddies. I was always athletic. But in college, I was exposed to all this new music, and I was drawn to hip-hop and R&B.
When all the other kids were playing sports after school, I wanted to sing and dance and act.
I was the youngest kid on our street in Baltimore, and I was always playing sports with kids who were older than me. You learn a lot that way.
There’s nothing I missed out on. I do everything a normal kid does. My parents keep me grounded. I still play sports. I still go to a rec center every day.
I just played football from an early age and didn’t get involved in any other sports. We had tennis, cycling, ice skating – I’d like to have skated more, because it’s so physical. Ten minutes on the ice and you really feel it in your back.
Though the first day of college was scary, I gradually adjusted to the environment and started enjoying myself with friends, lecturers, sports, and college day functions.
It’s long been a problem. But I’m not just talking about the UFC – I mean homophobia in sports in general and athletes sometimes say really stupid things.
My previous experiences taught me my true passion was working with the players. I love the business. I love sports. I love everything about the team aspect. But I have this deep appreciation for the players and their perspective.
I believe almost any sports fan would purchase a club, if they had the means.
