The money is in a different league these days, of course, but I have special memories of the 60s and 70s which players today don’t have. There wasn’t the same celebrity attitude and media exposure. We had a bit more freedom Picture Quote #1

But you probably make less than the maitre d’ and have a lot more work and a lot more headaches Picture Quote #1

The thing I love about the NBA game is that it’s a playmaker’s league Picture Quote #1

Woods are grim places. Farmers shoot squirrels, crows, magpies, and hang them up on trees to warn Mother Nature to get it together or else. Much notice she takes, being in league with God. They’re a right pair, more carnage than the rest of us put together Picture Quote #1

I’m currently single, so I want to have fun! As for what guys need to do to date out of their league, it’s all about the swagger. If you have confidence, you can get pretty much any girl Picture Quote #1

A player should be disparaged if he gives less than his all, if he doesn’t give 100%, no matter what shirt he’s wearing. Whether it’s your national team, your club, or little league. Yes, there are friendly matches, recreational ones, and so on, but sport in its essence is about giving your best Picture Quote #1

I’ve always said, You make a lot of money in Major League Baseball, and it’s all guaranteed, so what do you have to lose by going all out? Picture Quote #1

So as my act of resistance, that’s all I applied to Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to think it’s important to try out as cheerleader when you’re starring on Broadway. But you do kind of miss the things that I now see my children doing. I’m just happy they are not actors. The Valentine’s Day dance is really important. Pitching in Little League is very important. And the medals and the scouts are really important Picture Quote #1

I’ve addressed this before, and I’ll say it again: The league has to take a long, hard look at full-time officials. The officiating has been inconsistent all season long Picture Quote #1
