My dad is the reason I actually started watching wrestling. My dad was never big into sports; we were all big into sports as kids, and he’d go to our Little League games or whatever and not really know what was going on, because he didn’t know about sports, but he knew about wrestling.
I’ve always felt I had the ability to be a good, elite defender in this league on the wing. I just need to lock in. I feel if I pick that up, I can be a very good all-around player.
Academia is a rarified culture, especially an Ivy League academic background.
So I don’t really believe that how many years you’ve had in the league determines how well your players play… Coaching is coaching.
There are no guarantees in the league, and the challenges will always be there.
I played high school football at a hundred and eighty-five pounds and played big league baseball at a hundred and eighty-two. I’d get up to maybe 188 in the off-season because every summer I’d lose eight to ten pounds.
Everyone wants to play at the top level – everyone wants to play in the biggest tournaments in the world – so, obviously, the Champions League is one.
I never forgot the four years I spent with the Phillies, my September call-ups and my big league Spring Trainings. I never forgot that.
I want to write a new story in Europe, to make a new history. I want to come to win the championship and play again in the Champions League.
I think the National League has better biorhythms in July.
I don’t think there’s any question that the UFL or any other league that wants to challenge the NFL can have an impact. The demand for professional football is off the charts.
I think success is the biggest challenge you have to handle in the National Football League; that’s something we talk about a lot.
I’ve learned a lot from the experiences that I went through in high school, through college and overseas, and just everything in life. That is what prepared me for coming into the NBA, being undersized, no recognition, not getting anything easy, and I have been fortunate to prosper in this league.
I always want to play and help, especially when we’re at the top of the league.
If people take a knee, and the National Football League players want to take a knee, they should take a knee at night, every night, and thank God in Heaven Donald J. Trump is president of the United States.
I think I’d like to be an owner of a Major League Baseball team.
The American Dream is still alive out there, and hard work will get you there. You don’t necessarily need to have an Ivy League education or to have millions of dollars startup money. It can be done with an idea, hard work and determination.
I respect the Premier League.
Conservatism as a formal political doctrine didn’t exist in America in 1940. The word ‘conservative’ was associated primarily with fringe groups – anti-industrial Southern agrarians and the anti-New Deal tycoons who led the Liberty League.
Every superstar in this league, if you don’t go through adversity, if you try to duck and dodge it, it’s gonna damper your team.
It is very exciting to be playing in the Champions League because it is the dream of every player in the world.
The Zionist movement gave political expression to our claim to the land of Israel. And in 1922, the League of Nations recognized the justice of this claim.
Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it’s so even. I think you can’t really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that’s something where you can have surprises.
It is France. I know the league well. It is my mother tongue. Inevitably, there is an attraction for me. A return? It might not be my first choice, but of course, it is not impossible.
It’s not easy, but I play with my body, and I can feel how important it is to get 100 percent fit to play. This is an important thing to play in the Premier League.
I believe the Champions League has all that magic because it gathers all the best European teams, and that gives you the feeling of trying to be the best. That’s why the Champions League has this special kind of emotion.
I think I have a pretty goofy profile for a writer. It seems to me most writers were reading ‘Little Women’ when they were 6 months old. At the age of a lot of my readers, I wanted to be a major league baseball player. I didn’t read much.
Maybe in a few months I can start to daydream if we are still top of the league. That is the main one for us.
Eventually I returned to the W to play in Dallas, because of my coach Fred Williams. But once Fred got fired, I knew that my support there was gone. And that the only way I could stay in the league would be if I were living near my family on the West Coast.
At the beginning of the season, I set my goal to see if I can lead the league in scoring, because I feel I have that kind of ability. A lot of guys say it, but it’s not really in their grasp. I feel that’s really in my grasp.
David Milch is one of the smartest human beings I’ve ever met. I’m relatively bright and relatively well-read. I’m not in a league with that guy.
I consciously memorized the speed at which every pitcher in the league threw his fastball, curve, and slider. Then, I’d pick up the speed of the ball in the first 30 feet of its flight and knew how it would move once it has crossed the plate.
By far, the best moment of my big league career was when I caught the last out at the World Series.
I work on the show every day, even when we aren’t on the air. I’m compiling quotes from around the league, digging through clips. ‘Chris Paul said this, that might spark a good conversation.’ I’m looking at numbers, offensive and defensive efficiency.
We want to make our dreams come true and the Champions League is a dream for all of us.
The new disease was named chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and the NFL fervently and repeatedly denied that such a thing had anything to do with the league or its players.
My first year of pro ball I played in the Northwest league and made the all-star team, and the next year I played I led the team in hitting and was third or fifth in the league.
The most important aspect of my signing with the WFL was not to demean or undermine the National Football League, but rather to make professional football a form of employment where management recognizes its workers as individuals capable of communicating on an intelligent level.
The Americans love Aussies, but they’re actually quite afraid of us at the same time because they think we’re insane. Then they see our sports – league, union, and AFL – and that makes them even more worried.
The Arab League tells us to go in and take out Qaddafi. We’ve spent billions of dollars already with respect to the Arab League. Billions of dollars, because they told us to do it. Why aren’t they paying for it? They don’t like Qaddafi, Qaddafi’s been a terrible thorn in their side.
If there is no blood on the line, it is not rugby league.
My dad played rugby, so I used to watch a lot of rugby union and rugby league.
Ligue 1 is a very physical league. In each team, there are very fast players, dangerous wide men with plenty of speed and endurance.
I started coaching in the Interregionale league in Catanzaro. There were pitches with no grass; at times, we had no water, no training equipment. I had to do it all myself.
I went to New York in 1974, to either try to get a record deal, get into the New York Art Student League, or be a dancer. So that was my plan. Some plan. And I had no money.
I think sometimes Hall of Famers might get labeled as guys who aren’t suited for a coaching job or to be back at the Major League level.
It’s only a matter of time before the English clubs become a lot more competitive in Europe, if not dominant, because our league is, by far, the richest league in the world.
I feel very good at Atletico, and being here allows me to play in the Champions League.
As a league player, for myself, you strive to win a comp. I’m lucky enough to have achieved that… but most sportspeople would love to go to the Olympics, and I haven’t achieved that.
My life has changed in many ways, both on an economic and personal level. All major league players are accorded the respect they deserve. In Cuba, it was not that way. National team players were not respected. The treatment was not adequate.
I coach defending an awful lot but I don’t think too many teams in the Premier League or in the world of football actually coach defending anymore, certainly not the full-backs.
I came into the league in ’94.
I’m very thankful to the Yankees and to Major League Baseball for allowing me to play this game.
The Champions League is very difficult and you need to keep your concentration at all times.
I have to have a passionate connection to my films, which I do with ‘Justice League Dark.’ I have a way into the story that’s personal, the way I have a connection to ‘The Wall.’
I had an excellent Ivy League education, and it gave me a long view of things.
I feel as though I’ve proved myself these last five years that I can be one of the top players in the league.
I don’t come from an Ivy League school or anywhere else.
