I only really watch sport. That's where you see real joy. I don't like watching much else on TV, because it's generally either twisted or sad.
There is no life without sport and no sport without competition.
I think it puts baseball back on the map as a sport. It's America's pastime and just look at everyone coming out to the ballpark. It has been an exciting year.
The sentimentality of baseball is very deeply rooted in the American baseball fan. It is the one sport that is transmitted from fathers to sons.
Success in management and success in sport are derived from the same basic principles.
The sportsman knows that a sport is a recreation, a game, an amusement and a pastime, but his eyes are fixed on a higher goal, on the most important thing in his life, which is his education or his vocation.
Some people who love boxing might love Mike Tyson, but people outside of the sport are generally repulsed by him and therefore, repulsed by the sport.
The second I bring up race in the sport, I'm immediately race-baiting. But I can point out clear facts, where no other champion has been treated like me.
I love the sport of snowboarding so much, but I just don't want to talk about it, ever.
They say Formula One is a market which it can't be, obviously. Our market is independent, it's a sport.
My introduction to track racing was through the background of cross country running, which is not a sport perhaps as popular in America as it is in England.
I played Little League baseball, but I also played basketball. Basketball was my primary sport. When you play basketball seriously, a lot of times, through the summer season, you continue playing. So that replaced me playing baseball.
I have a love-hate relationship with the Grammys because I don't see the music world as a competitive sport.
I read a statistic that in horse racing, the favourite only wins 12 per cent of their races. I'm not comparing myself to a horse or saying I'm the favourite - although my sister would say I can nag an awful lot - but nothing is guaranteed in sport. Anyone can step up and take what you perceive to be your place in the final.
These days, to be seven years in one spot in any pro sport is a pretty long tenure.
I don't think the sport is any more dangerous than it's ever been.
Holyfield is nothing but class, and I think he's a breath of fresh air for the sport.
The commercialization of sport is the democratization of sport.
I never thought of what I was doing as a way to sell the NFL. I was making movies about a sport that I loved, about players and coaches that I respected.

I always wanted to help make tennis a team sport.
I've noticed that a lot of people, subsequently, when they introduce me are very careful not to say the Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt. A lot more people are saying Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport.

If you destroyed the underpinnings of this great American sport, you are a hated, ugly, detestable person.
In this sport luck and tragedy are only a few hundredths of seconds apart from each other.
You know, I never looked down the road and said, 'Hey look, one day, the Hall of Fame.' It's always about playing each and every game 100 percent and I thank my teammates for getting me into the Hall because football is a team sport, not an individual sport.
It's a sport about risk and reward. It's a sport about becoming a legend. You look at guys that have stepped up on last minute, and it changed their lives. I don't think that I should be any different.
In my job, whenever I delivered a presentation I would rehearse several times before the actual event. In sport, it is important to be equally prepared about my opponents.
