I jog at the Rose Bowl, and I collect antique and vintage furniture, so I’m there every few weeks for the flea market.
A bowler is his own captain. I know what needs to be done, what the ball is doing. If you don’t know where you are going to bowl and where you think the batsman will hit, then how can you tell the captain what you want? You are the judge.
I always have ice cream in the house. I have a bowl of it, and then a bit more. One of the greatest pleasures in my life is going back and getting a second half-bowl. The first bowl is just the prelude.
A lot of the emphasis on international bowlers is on their pace and Australia coach Darren Lehmann is a big fan of bowlers who can bowl 90mph-plus.
When you really think about it and look at the number of quarterbacks who come through the league, not many of them have Super Bowl careers.
Whenever you make the Super Bowl, so many things – you have to have the good general manager and the coach and the great players, and you have to have not too many injuries – everything, game plans and everything, has to fall very much your way for that to happen.
I love that about college football. I love all the funky matchups. I love the Funky Cold Medina Poulan Weed Eater Bowl. I love all of that. I like the crazy games. There’s obviously a market for it because them TVs love to put it on there.
When Super Bowl time comes around, I get jealous.
Life is not all a bowl of cherries. There are days when you aren’t going to feel up to par. And it’s healthy to see it in yourself and to ask, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’
You can’t talk about the NFL without the Raiders, the three Super Bowl championships, what Al Davis meant to the league.
It’s the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world, but at the same time, my job is to go out and win a game.
You know how I came up with the name ‘Road to the Super Bowl?’ It’s an homage to the old Bob Hope – Bing Crosby buddy movies – you know, like ‘Road to Zanzibar’ or ‘Road to Morocco.’ Can you tell? All I’ve done my whole life is go to movies.
I’ve done a number of Super Bowl ads. And that is the best advertising of the year. That is when people realize they’re going to be compared directly against other ads.
During the week it isn’t always easy to sit down together and I am usually in a rush to get everyone off to school. A bowl of cereal and milk with fruit is perfect because it’s quick and easy. I like to mix it up on the weekends when we can all relax in our pajamas.
Even when you bowl a bad over, try to restrict it in between 15-18 runs, because if you go higher than that, it has a bigger impact on the game.
If you bowl good yorkers in nets and come up with good variation, it helps your on-field performance.
I get scared easily, so I’m not one for just sitting down with a bowl of popcorn and watching horror stories. But, I mean, I’m learning more. Maybe one day I’d like to be able to watch them.
I think a lot of winning a Super Bowl is being at the right place at the right time. It’s sacrifice, it’s making team plays and being an impactful player is part of it.
When I am down, there is nothing like a bowl of hot popcorn; popcorn means great movies and reading fantasy books wrapped up in a soft blanket to me.
I built my name on fighting so hard – I’ll always do that – but I’m also trying to become more of a veteran, to be be calm and calculated and not always trying to bowl people over.
Although I may find the type of programming seen during the 2004 Super Bowl and the 2003 Golden Globe Awards disgusting and disturbing, we must always work hard to defend the cherished freedoms so clearly outlined in our Constitution, including a healthy and free press.
Nobody really wants to bowl a bad over, but if it happens, the individual is more disappointed than anyone else in the stadium or the team. Ideally, it is best to leave him to this thoughts and then have a chat with him after the team is back at the hotel when he will be less frustrated and more accepting.
I think it’s nice to win awards, but my goal is not to win the Heisman: it’s to get to the Rose Bowl.
There is no future. This is the season. Get to the Super Bowl.
The first time I ever tried edamame, I thought it was gross. I didn’t understand the hairy skin. It didn’t taste good to me. Now I scarf down a bowl of edamame when I sit down at a restaurant, and I don’t think twice about it.
The best players of the world play in the IPL, and to bowl to them in T20 cricket isn’t easy.
The funny thing is everybody wants to win a Super Bowl, and it really doesn’t change anything in your daily life.
It’s funny, but when there are dominant teams, there are a number of people who rail about the fact that they’re always seeing the Dallas Cowboys or the San Francisco 49ers or the Green Bay either in the playoffs or in the Super Bowl.
The actual game is only part of the Senior Bowl experience – the practices are equally important.
When you get into playing you strive for one thing, that’s to be a Super Bowl champion. When you get into coaching, you strive to be a Super Bowl-winning head coach. That’s what my goal is.
I remember my dad asking me one time, and it’s something that has always stuck with me: ‘Why not you, Russ?’ You know, why not me? Why not me in the Super Bowl?
My basic strength has been accuracy, line and length and I’ve always worked on that. I knew that would hopefully never leave me. Even if I don’t bowl for three months, the first time I go out I would still be able to land it on the spot.
You make a 2-10 split pretty often when you bowl as much as I do.
I’m at that point in my career you can put up all the numbers you want to, you can swing whatever statistic you want to swing, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t get to the Super Bowl and win it.
People in Wynne told me I’d never win a game at Memphis and I’d never play in a bowl game. But I knew we’d turn it around.
The thing about the Super Bowl is, once you got to the Super Bowl City, it was non-stop football, 24/7. You couldn’t get away from it. You couldn’t leave your hotel room and not get bombarded by fans. You couldn’t go have a nice dinner and relax. Friends and family weren’t there, so the normalcy of life changed.
How am I overrated if I’ve never gone to the Pro Bowl? To be overrated, you have to be someplace you shouldn’t be. I don’t see that.
When I play in the Super Bowl, the biggest stage we have, I have to give up the first touchdown. To make it worse, I’m running behind the guy, not next to him.
I want to play the Super Bowl halftime show in America.
In the late-’80s, there was a big push to make American football big in Scotland. The Super Bowl was on TV, but it didn’t really catch on. When I was a kid, though, I became a big Miami Dolphins fan. I don’t really know why – I just liked the logo, I guess. I didn’t really know what was going on.
We all understand the economics of the Super Bowl – 10 or 12 minutes of the ball in motion will be stretched into three and a half hours or more of money-making commercials.
If you look round the world, most teams want guys who can bowl up at 90 mph because they can make things happen when it isn’t doing much.
My mom grew up in poverty in Oklahoma – like Dust Bowl, nine people in one room kind of place – and the way she got out of poverty was through education. My dad grew up without a dad, with very little and he also made his way out through education.
One-day cricket is about continuity, team ethic, understanding each other’s role, where everybody fields and bats, when and at which end they want to bowl.
You go to the Super Bowl in your second year and you’re like, ‘OK, cool. I’ll be back next year or the year after that.’
In middle school, I was really into the ‘Redwall’ series, about anthropomorphic rodents in medieval times. I had a bowl cut, too, if you need the full imagery.
I have to admit I’ve dreamed of kicking the game-winning field goal in the Super Bowl many times. That’s the fun thing about being a kicker, you never know when it’s going to come down to your kick deciding the game.
As a bowler it’s a strange feeling when you start running through a team. You get that one wicket under your belt and suddenly you start running in feeling loose, feeling relaxed and thinking about what you want to bowl rather than focusing on trying to force that wicket.
My dad gave me a haircut… and it wasn’t a very good one. When I went out of the house, my friends got on my case and said it looked like someone put a chili bowl over my head and cut around it.
With roasting, you’ve really got to bring your A-game. I hate to admit it, but I probably think and obsess more about the roasts than my own series. Because there’s so much attention focused on the roasts. It’s like the ‘Super Bowl’ of comedy. Everybody is going to talk about it. Forever.
I used to bowl a lot of seam-up for Tamil Nadu and then my pelvic disc slipped. Then I just started batting, I didn’t want to bowl at all. I wanted to do nothing with bowling.
I like smoothies and things that go down smoothie-cool – when I used to live in Williamsburg, I used to get an acai bowl most mornings.
I think it would be a great honor to get another Super Bowl, but not just limited to that. Other events, sporting or otherwise, I think New Jersey has an enormous opportunity given our location and our natural resources, our passion generally and specifically for sports, I think we’re a natural.
