I learned how to take other people’s mechanisms of promoting their stuff through me as opposed to promoting my own stuff, as far as getting Snoop DeVilles, SnoopDeGrills, Snoop Doggy Dogg biscuits, Snoop Dogg record label, Snoop Dogg bubble gum, Snoop Youth Football League.
On immigration, the League and Five Star’s positions start from notable distances.
I watch every game in the Premier League and I like the ambience and culture of football in England.
Things for me really started to click right after my third year in the league. I sort of figured out that there were a few things that I needed to do if I wanted to get better – I needed to gain some more weight and add some strength.
You sit on the bench in the Premier League for one week, you could be playing for the rest of the season if the No. 1 at that time had a bad game.
Playing so many important games in a prestigious competition like the Champions League, I have experience to call upon, and I’m thankful for that. I hope the other players can feel more confident because of that.
All I ever wanted to be was president of the American League.
I have just fallen back in love with rugby league again.
Klopp would reproach me for not tracking back properly. I took things on board, and I listened to him. I worked hard in training; I stayed behind after training. That’s what helped me to shine in the Bundesliga because I scored quite a lot of goals despite some difficult games in the league.
My friends and family know I love playing baseball – Little League through college. And every year in the annual Congressional Baseball Game for charity played at Nationals Stadium.
A lot of people would like to see me in England. This is not necessarily the league that attracts me the most, though. It would allow me to develop further, though.
When I was in college there was a girls’ flag football league. The girls were extremely aggressive.
In order to win in this league, you have to have a quarterback who can make all the throws, who makes great decisions, somebody who can get you out of bad situations, that just gives you a chance.
I’m from West Virginia. If you didn’t know what was happening in NASCAR, you were on the outside. NASCAR is a big league sport, but it’s still also country and redneck.
If I was going to make one rule change, I would bring the DH in the National League.
I’ve enjoyed my time in the American League, the fans of Southern California and other friendships.
The two centre-backs, Rob Huth and Wes Morgan, are in many ways journeyman pros, but they have that wonderful attitude and never-say-die spirit that has culminated in them being top of the league.
I’m the youngest of five kids, and I wanted attention. And in Santa Barbara, there was lots of theater going on, so for that area, it was a little bit like playing Little League baseball. There were dance classes, theater classes, and I just loved it.
The league, is doing well. It is just a matter of trying to sort some things out with my contract.
As we say from time to time, it’s hard to win in the National Football League.
Whenever we had career day at elementary school, and we could dress up like what you wanted to be, when I got on stage, mine was playing major league baseball.
We want to be strong and we want to be in a position to maximise the potential of the players in every game because it’s a long season with 46 league games.
I think the four major leagues ought to set up a joint commission – say, of retired judges – to rule on athletes who are accused of doing bad things away from the game. Then each league would retain its independence in determining what penalties their players should get for infractions committed within the sport.
The best players have the mental advantage throughout the league.
I’m not so mean. I wouldn’t ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately – unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something.
Coaches who have been players in the league, they get so attuned to playing how they were successful and who their coaches were.
For the guys who would say, ‘oh, your dad, this and that, you’ve got to the league or here because of him’… they’re hypocrites.
Coming into the league, if I would’ve had money, then obviously I would’ve had more tattoos.
When I first started coming to New York in the early Nineties and seeing the vitality of the programme compared to what was going on back in London or Paris, it was just in a different league. It’s like a 16th-century court.
I want to be part of Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame, but I don’t want to be part of the kind of Hall of Fame that’s based on voters’ beliefs and assumptions.
As it is, I played 99 per cent of my football in the Premier League and I’d proud of that fact. That’s where my history is.
Cyborg represents not just people who are differently abled: he is also a representation of the black community and people of colour within the Justice League. Being able to don both those mantles with the integrity which that character would need to be portrayed and was adhered to was something that was very important.
As the National Football League and other pro sports increasingly reckon with the early dementia, mental health issues, suicides and even criminal behavior of former players, the risk of what’s known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), is becoming clear.
I played Little League. I was a ‘pitcher.’ But we had a pitching machine, so I was just basically an ‘in-infield’ shortstop because all I got to do was field bloopers six feet from the plate. I couldn’t hit, so that was pretty much my entire job.
I’m always so amazed by which performances work really, really well and which ones don’t. But I think it’s just mostly, ‘She’s Out Of My League,’ so many people saw that movie on DVD and on the plane. Just millions of people saw that movie. That’s the reason I’m somewhat famous.
Concussions have brought the consciousness to the problem, but I think the problem is football-related injuries, period, and the lack of support from the league of those players who have suffered those injuries. The denial factor has been unbelievable. I’m here because I’m a fighter to try to bring attention to this fact.
In the Premier League, the money is a problem, but I don’t really know how to control it.
I am happy to be playing in the Premier League because everyone knows it is the strongest league in the world. There are simply a lot of top teams.
There’s not many guys that can pitch at the top of the rotation floating around the league.
There are a couple people who have complained on other teams about some of the things that Pittsburgh players have done. Some of that goes in the category of gamesmanship. Some of that goes to the fact that we need to be vigilant as a league to make sure that players aren’t unnecessarily and inappropriately hurt.
Football wasn’t invented until the Premier League, we all know that.
It would be special, just to know I had the best rookie season a running back has had in this league, especially a record that’s been however old it is.
The Negro League had some of the best players in history. Satchel Paige was probably one of the best pitchers in the history of baseball, and many believe catcher Josh Gibson was a better hitter than Babe Ruth.
Everybody needs help, even Superman. That’s why he had the Justice League.
A great guy who is no longer in the league right now who is retired, Kyle Vanden Bosch, I learned a lot from him, and I owe him a lot for my success in the NFL.
I was in the American League for 16, 17 years, and I think it’s a really tough league to compete in.
I got kicked out of the league because I had a hard time sustaining at the quarterback position.
To arrive and try to fight for the Champions League, to try to fight to be the best in the world, you need time.
Every player’s dream is to play Champions League and the World Cup.
I’ve said it once: I would love to someday play in La Liga at one of the greats. I see their league each week. It suits my style.
It’s true that the atmosphere here is quite different from the one in France. People live and breathe football here, and that’s what I like. Every footballer wants to play in the Premier League.
It’s been one heck of a ride. I came into the league playing with Kobe and Shaq and for Phil Jackson. Playing with Jordan. And so, it just has been a blessing. I can’t describe it any other way.
I’m a huge fan of the game. It’s beyond a fringe benefit of obviously getting to work at the league office. I watch a ton of games in person, on television, on all forms of new media I follow the league. And so it’s just beyond my wildest imaginations to me to now be the commissioner of the NBA.
But I want you to know that what I’m doing here I’m doing as a ballplayer, a major league ballplayer.
Chelsea are a big club – we have to win titles and to qualify for the Champions League. There’s a lot to do, but we’ll try to do it all.
The Football Association have always acted more as a referee than a governor. And the FA, aware the Premier League provide players for the England team, have always had too gentle a hand on the tiller. The result is that the Premier League are the tigers in the English football jungle everybody’s scared of.
