“Sports is the toy department of human life.”

“Football is not a contact sport; it's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.”

“To be a sportswriter is to be a fan who gets paid to criticize.”

“The Olympics are a wonderful metaphor for world politics. You have the powerful countries that are always winning and then you have the struggling countries that are happy to be there.”

“There are two seasons: winter and baseball.”

“Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing, and the only thing is a pretty lonely thing.”

“Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, a slider is not a hamburger, and you can steal but you're not a thief.”
