You can say to me I'm wealthy, in theory I'm a billionaire or a multi-billionaire, but in reality my wealth is in Sports Direct shares, which are the same as wallpaper, I don't have that cash in the bank, so I don't have that ability to write a cheque for #200m, I don't have that, it's very simple, it's not there.

I think sports can bring a lot of happiness to people.
— Miguel Cabrera
I'm training at Phase 1 Sports in Las Vegas, and it's a very high-end training facility for a lot of top-level athletes. I have been able to add a lot of power and the endurance to keep that power going. I've always been powerful, but the muscle conditioning I've been able to add has been a tremendous amount of help.
— Miesha Tate
I can't say this enough - the food that you put into your bodies can actually help you get better grades. And it can also affect your performance in sports and other activities too. You see, when you give your body the best possible fuel, you have more energy, you're stronger, you think more quickly.
— Michelle Obama
Sports provides that tool kit to be successful in life. Because it's not always going to be smooth sailing.
— Michelle Kwan
I don't watch sports through the eyes of a stats nerd or an anger monger. I truly love stories and characters and the flash and the sexiness of it all.
— Michelle Beadle
The only thing better than working for Connor Schell and Kevin Wildes is being able to spend each day with all of the incredibly talented people at 'NBA Countdown' and 'SportsNation.' It's the best job in sports.
It's an L.A. thing. This is not a town where all the dudes love sports necessarily. I don't need you to love sports 24-7, but I kind of need you to know a little bit and it's a weird place for that.
For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
— Michel de Montaigne
I've always loved sports and hockey is a sport I play as much as I can. I love it. In a weird way it's like church and therapy and exercise all rolled up into one. I mean when I play hockey I don't think about anything.
— Michael Vartan
One of the reasons I'm an actor is because I was no physical specimen as a child. I wasn't athletic and didn't have any prowess in that regard. Growing up in Kentucky, most little boys were trying to get into sports, and it was very competitive, so that was not to be. But I did want to do something.
— Michael Shannon
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.
— Michael Phelps
I think that people who have played sports have an ability to relate to people because when you're playing you have to work on teams and with opposing players.
— Michael Michele
If architecture is, as is sometimes said, music set in concrete, then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports.
— Michael Mandelbaum
If you're a dope like me, you get every sports channel you can get. I'm watching, you know, Netherlands soccer.
— Michael Keaton
I wasn't really a work-conscious type of person. I was a player. I loved to play sports.
— Michael Jordan
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Some sports, you see some athletes just walking around the gym not really doing anything, eating food. They're first to the lunchroom, never lifting weights.
— Mikaela Shiffrin
I think sports can help any country get together.
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.
— Mick Cornett
Years before 'Tough Enough' came out - and I still have the papers - I filled out the entire application but never sent it in. I was like this is perfect, it's sports, I'm competitive, I could do that.
— Michelle McCool
The Women's Sports Foundation has empowered so many young girls and women across the U.S. I benefitted from WSF with a travel and training grant when I was 12 years old. It really helped my family financially.
I love what I am doing on 'SportsNation' and to now have the opportunity to do even more on 'Winners Bracket' as part of ESPN Sports Saturday on ABC is the perfect situation.
I like certain things, I don't like others, and I like what NBC has to offer. I can do sports and I can do entertainment, and whatever they offer I'm going to try at least once to figure out what I love and what I don't.
I never saw how going back to a job I loved at the No. 1 sports network in the world could be seen as a step backwards. There are people on Twitter that think it is.
People here don't identify themselves by their sports team.
— Michael Wilbon
The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish, and that's something I picked up from home.
— Michael Strahan
Being No. 1. It's talked about all of the time in hip-hop. 'I'm still No. 1! I'm the best! I'm the greatest of all time!' It's the same mentality in sports.
— Michael Rapaport
I grew up reading the newspapers, mostly the sports section. I was a wrestler and would check to see if I was ranked.
— Michael Pena
The cardinal sin in sports, what could really wreck it, is not cheating to win, which has gone on forever, but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports' appeal, which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed, they're no different from movies; they're scripted.
The sports world is an echo chamber. All it takes is one quote from a general manager and a thousand sports columns bloom.
— Michael Lewis
I'm getting more and more bored with professional sports, but I still watch.
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.
The mind is absolutely instrumental in achieving results, even for athletes. Sports psychology is a very small part, but it's extremely important when you're winning and losing races by hundredths and even thousandths of a second.
— Michael Johnson
I love my homeland, but it's an absurd country. Politics in the Philippines is like spectator sports!
— Miguel Syjuco
I did see the Yahoo Sports story Kevin Iole wrote about how the ratings for TUF go up when there's a women's fight in the episode. I can't lie: it felt really good to see that the UFC fans - not only MMA fans but fans of the UFC who maybe hadn't seen any female fights before February of this year - look forward to watching the women fights so much.
I'm not really interested in sports psychology. It makes me feel like a crazy person.
— Michelle Wie
I would encourage people to participate in sports. You don't have to dream of being an Olympic or a professional athlete.
Girls, in particular, benefit from sports.
Look, sports are sports. The scores are the scores and the stories are the stories.
My favorite part of being a sportscaster is the access afforded us to some of the greatest moments in sports. Mine came when I was on the sidelines at the Rose Bowl when Vince Young carried the Longhorns to a fantastic win over Colin's USC Trojans.
Even from their infancy we frame them to the sports of love: their instruction, behavior, attire, grace, learning and all their words azimuth only at love, respects only affection. Their nurses and their keepers imprint no other thing in them.
Sports don't define us; it is not what we live for.
My chief gifts are - naturally good at all sports with a raw talent for pretty much everything, which if nurtured could develop into improper talent.
— Michael Sheen
I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible.
I come from a background of hanging out with friends and shooting videos with them, with funny stuff coming out of the group. I guess we got the same charge jocks get out of sports.
— Michael Patrick Jann
Read the news section of the newspaper and there is confusion and uncertainty, a world buffeted by large forces people neither understand nor control. But turn to the sports section and it's all different.
People who think they know what they are talking about when they talk about baseball include the announcers and all of the sports press - no matter how much evidence you present them to the contrary they will continue to think that what they think is right.
I won't have any competitive instincts in any sports, other than golf. I can't see being competitive in sports any more.
As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day.
