I didn’t really seek attention. I just wanted to play the game well and go home.
My girlfriend has read all the ‘Game of Thrones’ books – twice.
I never rush myself. See, they can’t start the game without me.
I love keeping. I’m in the game all the time. I see angles that I wouldn’t normally see, and I feel part of what the captain does.
I can talk with my team-mates, understand them and it’s better for understanding the coaching staff and the game itself. If someone’s making a run and they shout for the ball, I know now.
I am linked with Jose because we worked together, but I don’t go out of my way to talk about it. We are ‘different people, have ‘different ‘personalities and different views on the game.
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal.
I don’t like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I’m from New York. I will kill to get what I need.
There should be a minimum on the air pressure but not a maximum. Every game, they’re taking air out of the footballs I’m throwing, and I think that’s a disadvantage for the way that I like them prepped.
Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad.
It’s a question of five or 10 metres whether it’s a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-2-1; you only see teams adhering to that at kick-off and perhaps eight times during the game.
Game’s always been open arms with me.
When I say artist I mean the man who is building things – creating molding the earth – whether it be the plains of the west – or the iron ore of Penn. It’s all a big game of construction – some with a brush – some with a shovel – some choose a pen.
The nightmare of materialism, which has turned the life of the universe into an evil, useless game, is not yet past; it holds the awakening soul still in its grip.
Respect the game on and off the field and if you do that, you’re going to have the respect among your peers.
Just like football, business is a game of inches, where the smallest advancement or advantage can mean the difference between winning and losing.
There were riots in just about every game we played with Syracuse.
My guiding principle is that prosperity can be shared. We can create wealth together. The global economy is not a zero-sum game.
Going home and just seeing what a mess youth baseball was was an eye-opener. I just want to make it a better game.
Everything on earth is a game. A passing thing. We all end up dead. We all end up the same, don’t we?
I don’t think about the end game. I’ve got lots to occupy my mind. It’s the rage that keeps me going.
The greatest competitor was Bob Gibson. He worked so fast out there and he always had the hood up. He always wanted to close his own deal. He never talked to you because he was battling so hard. I sure as hell don’t miss batting against him, but I miss him in the game.
It’s difficult because the men’s game is so big and attracts so much money and sponsorship, and so it’s always going to take priority.
When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started.
My work is a game, a very serious game.
Africa has become the big game of the nation hunters. Today, Africa looms as the greatest commercial, industrial and political prize in the world.
There’s a difference between fair game and playing games.
A lot of people, including business leaders, think the future belongs to China. Globalization is not a zero-sum game, but we need to hone our skills to stay in play.
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn’t lend itself to histrionics. You ‘take in’ a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
I was nine or 10 years old and my father was sacked on Christmas Day. He was a manager, the results had not been good, he lost a game on December 22 or 23. On Christmas Day, the telephone rang and he was sacked in the middle of our lunch.
The five big mistakes in football are the fumble, the interception, the penalty, the badly called play, the blocked punt – and most of these originate with the quarterback. Find a mistake-proof quarterback and you have this game won.
Being part of such a great club like Manchester United fills you with emotion, and you gradually realise how much the club means to the fans and the people who work here. They really live for the game, so that does become part of you, and you can only appreciate that having spent time here.
An atheist is a man who watches a Notre Dame – Southern Methodist University game and doesn’t care who wins.
We come across thirty or so hurried graves with makeshift wooden markers. ‘Private Edwards, E.’, a number, and that was all. Fourteen days ago he was alive, thinking feeling, hoping… If war was a game of cards, I’d say someone was cheating.
Even if you never do anything about this, you’ve benefited from an unjust system. You’re already the winner in a game that was rigged to your advantage from the start.
The game is not lost – or won – until the last bell goes.
Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.
I don’t think the entire world respects women in sport. But if FIFA start respecting the women’s game more, others will follow.
You have to be a student of the game to be successful, and it’s promising when you can say that, with a world-record performance, I still have things to improve on!
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
You can’t allow yourself to get typecast as a recruiter, because that label sticks and carries. I fought it. I made myself learn the game and teach the game.
Just small things are going to hopefully lead to a bigger surplus in the end. Obviously, you might not see it every single game, every single detail, but those small things and those small details add up so much, and that’s what creates winning.
My thought has always been completion. Maybe you have to rebound better, shoot better, hit free throws, handle the ball, defend better. You have to do all those things in the course of a game.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
In the playoffs, it’s win or go home. You might not have a chance to look back at a game and say, ‘Man, we didn’t box out here.’
I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don’t ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.
Confidence is a lot of this game or any game. If you don’t think you can, you won’t.
If you drill down on any success story, you always discover that luck was a huge part of it. You can’t control luck, but you can move from a game with bad odds to one with better odds. You can make it easier for luck to find you. The most useful thing you can do is stay in the game.
You can’t be selfish in this game. You’ve got to know, at the end of the day, that it’s all about winning. And when you win, everybody looks good.
I’ve been in the game a long time. I’ve done all sorts of different types of music. From mob music to the G-Funk era.
Other female rappers are overly sexual, have no wit, and their lyrics are so generic. I want to change the game to make rap that shows I’m not a normal female rapper – it’s not about how rich I am, how much sex I have, or how many boyfriends I have. That’s just not me.
Football is a more beautiful game in high definition.
When the game is on the line, I want to be the go-to guy. I feel like that separates the good from the great receivers.
People will buy hardware just to buy a single game if the game is really compelling.
This is a job and Survivor is a game show. So, this is something to take seriously and work really hard at.
I actually met The Game in my hood on Crenshaw and Slauson. I was outside on the block with 20 of my homies. I see the Range Rover, and we all walked up to his car. I handed him my CD.
I threw up before every single football game I played, and I did so up through my NFL career. It was good pressure. It was pressure to be good. It was pressure to be the best. It was pressure to want to win.
When you want to win a game, you have to teach. When you lose a game, you have to learn.
I think players tend to get anxious if they’ve not really done things properly – like eating, resting or training. If you’re fully prepared you’ve got nothing to worry about – it’s just a game of football.
I stood up as best I could to their disgusting stupidity and brutality, but I did not, of course, manage to beat them at their own game. It was a fight to the bitter end, one in which I was not defending ideals or beliefs but simply my own self.
When neither party can give checkmate, the game is drawn.
Football is a chess game to me. If you move your pawn against my bishop, I’ll counter that move to beat you. Football is the same way. I study so much film that I know exactly what teams are going to do. I love knowing what a offense is going to run and stuffing that play.
