Sports is just something I have a knack to figure out how to play.
— Mookie Betts
I could go right now and work for a non-profit organization, but I have a passion for sports, and I love to write and speak.
— Molly Qerim
I grew up with sports, but I was definitely not good enough to become a professional athlete - I just loved the storytelling aspect of it.
I approach everything, including sobriety, with the same mentality I approached sports with. You're going to put in the time. You've got to suit up, show up, and keep your eyes on the win.
— Molly Bloom
I've never been in the top three of Sports Personality. And I won't be in the top three again. You have just got to accept what it is.
— Mo Farah
I get bored with working out, so I'm more into playing sports like soccer and basketball.
— Mischa Barton
Sports are evolving and always evolving, and people have that determination to keep going and coming back. I think I'm one of those athletes. I stand to show that people shouldn't give up. You've got to just keep going until you succeed.
— Mirai Nagasu
To be honest, I'm shocked the University of Washington's sports teams are called the Huskies. Why haven't the Leftists that run this entire state demanded they be renamed the 'Athletes of Size' so as to not fat shame anyone?
— Milo Yiannopoulos
I give credit to my mom for inspiring and encouraging me to take sports seriously. She was a professor of biochemistry and at the age of 60 when she retired she started trekking.
— Milind Soman
I want to rip out his heart and feed it to Lennox Lewis. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.
— Mike Tyson
After snowboarding a fair bit in 2011 and 2012 to test equipment, I got pretty good at it, and some friends at Adaptive Action Sports talked me into competing at the exhibition event at the Winter X Games in the adaptive boardercross. I was able to step up my game pretty quick and compete. I took last place, but knew I could improve.
— Mike Schultz
Snowboarding and skiing are big adaptive sports, so that's kind of a market that I wanted to make our equipment used for.
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.
— Mike Piazza
When we talk about reviews, what we are really talking about is just a market report - it's like reading about the new Lexus. You have to know what the guy writing the review cares about to understand his take. Does he like sports cars, or does he like Bentleys?
— Mike Nichols
For the tiny percentage of people who are negatively affected by our embracing of standards, they can just get their sports somewhere else in the meantime. It's not like we're denying them hospital care.
— Mike Davidson
The media circus surrounding Sports Direct... only proves that whatever progress Sports Direct makes, it will always be subject to disproportionate scrutiny and misrepresentation.
— Mike Ashley
I am wedded to Newcastle like Sports Direct. They've got me and I've got them. That's just the way it is.
I was all-state in four sports in New Jersey, but sometimes I couldn't get served at a restaurant two blocks from my high school. There were no job opportunities then... the only thing a black youth could aspire to be was a bellboy or a pullman or an elevator operator, or, maybe, a teacher. There was a time when all we had was black baseball.
— Monte Irvin
It's tricky when you have people tuning in to hear about sports, not politics, but I think in issues where they intertwine, that is not something 'First Take' is not going to shy away from and potentially will go to another level than another sports show.
I think New York is the greatest sports town there is, and I feel like we're a part of the buzz.
In sports, especially skiing, you have to be comfortable with risk. You have to have a relationship with fear, and it can't dominate the decision-making process.
Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples - where I'm pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised.
— Mitt Romney
I'm really into beaches, but I also enjoy a bit of culture. An ideal holiday would have a nice balance of the two, but I'm definitely not into adrenalin sports, nor would I enjoy spending a month solid on a beach.
— Miranda Raison
Maybe Asians are switching from studying to sports.
In India, we don't have a culture of sports. We don't have a culture of an active lifestyle or exercise. If we want to change this mindset, women are the key. That's why we started the Pinkathon.
The thing about ballet that I never knew about is that it's one of the most excruciating sports that I've ever been a part of. I say sports because they train constantly, every single day.
— Mila Kunis
Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.
— Mike Singletary
I am the owner of my prosthetic manufacturing business, BioDapt, which manufactures lower-limb prosthetics for sports.
They read their sports pages, know their statistics and either root like hell or boo our butts off. I love it. Give me vocal fans, pro or con, over the tourist types who show up in Houston or Montreal and just sit there.
— Mike Schmidt
I love how professional sports unite a city and a group of people.
— Mike O'Malley
I would say my first golf memory was asking who Arnold Palmer was when he was always on the Pennzoil commercials. When I was a little kid I watched a lot of sports, but I didn't watch a lot of golf, and this guy was always on a tractor.
— Mike Greenberg
I would not get to know every single thing that happens in Sports Direct.
Sports Direct is on course to become the 'Selfridges of sport' by migrating to a new generation of stores.
Do I regret getting into football? The answer is yes. I have had tonnes of fun in it but I haven't been able to make the difference I wanted to like I have at Sports Direct.
I always felt that I had a mission in life. I thought I was born to play sports. Even now, I still feel that must have been my mission because I came through so many close calls where my life could very easily have been ended.
TV is changing in terms of how we are consuming sports. Appointment viewing no longer exists, as between social media and the Internet, people already have the news and can get the highlights - so now people want the opinions.
I'm blessed to work in sports every day.
I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation.
— Mo Rocca
I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, 'Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?'
— Mitch Albom
Sports is expensive, and you have to find a way to pay for it.
I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports, I wasn't good at anything artsy, ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.
— Mindy Kaling
It is unfortunate that as a country we don't have this culture of promoting health and sports.
By showing myself being out with my dog or playing sports, it motivates people to get active.
— Mikhail Varshavski
For my equipment, we're not about running. We're about wheels, action sports, and that type of thing. So we want range of motion and shock absorption. The foot itself has 28 degrees of ankle motion as you press into it or you put weight into it. A typical running or walking foot has kind of around 10 to 12, at max, flex at the toe.
It's kind of mind-blowing what some of us adaptive athletes can accomplish as far as physical sports.
When Michael Jordan quit, I suddenly found myself without a sports hero.
— Mike Royko
I have three kids, and I'm a coach for a lot of their sports, so I'm around them a lot, but I see friends of mine with older kids and they don't really interact so much, other than giving them a place to live.
I probably went into sports with a sense of competitiveness and came out of it even more competitive.
— Mike Duke
Despite significant challenges within the retail sector in the UK and beyond, which have resulted in many retailers failing, Sports Direct has continued to perform well and exceed market expectations.
Sports Direct should come with a government health warning - this stock is not for the fainthearted.
