I think the Lombardi teams enjoyed and wanted to get into the big games.

It was another day to go to work, and try to play and play well.

That's what you work all season for, to get into the playoff games, and you don't want to blow it.

I think it was the preparation and every thing Lombardi represented, you know, about hard work and that every game was important. So when you get to the real important games, you were ready to go.

When you play at home in European football, you've got to come up with a happy balance where you get on the front foot and try to win it without leaving yourself vulnerable.

I love the individual characters that cricket produces and, more than most other sports, the unlikely heroes.

I think it would've been a little easier if I grew up in America; they've got better conditions for basketball players. At the same time, many people have said to me that having to start playing so late helped me not pick up bad habits.

If you're a professional athlete, and after the game, you're eating at the same place that somebody in the audience is eating at? You're making a mistake.
