Everybody runs routes a little bit differently.
When I was growing up, we would play a 10-over or 15-over game, and the asking-rate would always be high, and I would end up scoring 30 or 40 runs in 15 balls, so I built that mindset right from the beginning and still continue to bat in the same manner.

The sentimentality that people see and hear in my commentary and sometimes ridicule, parody or just don’t like – that’s okay. We’re all wired differently. I think about that a lot. I can’t explain it. That’s just what runs through my blood. It’s just the way I look at the world.

I’ve been lucky enough that in the U.K., I’ve done shows that have aired once a week. I make a show there that runs seasonally, and we make one episode a week, and that is great – the value of time. You can really think and finesse what you want to do.
I am not sure when it became de rigueur for presidential candidates to publish a work between hard covers, but nobody now runs for high office without having written, or having arranged for the ghostwriting of, a very large book.

When I talk football with my friends, I don’t talk about Tom Brady’s hair. I talk about how he handles the blitz, or how he runs his offense. I talk as a fan. I don’t want pink jerseys, and I don’t want dumbed-down content. I want to be treated as a real fan – because I am proud to be one.
Self-deprecation runs right through queer culture. It was seen as a badge of honor. I started to feel like perhaps it was destructive as well.

When I play a cover-drive, I play it to score runs.
