Sports & Leisure
- I love getting calls from communists in Montclair...You’re swearing on the air, Mike, you’re a bum.
- It would be a disservice not to understand some of the inequities of college sports. This is a big money business, and the athletes are used for financial gain, while the NCAA cherry-picks infractions.
- We're not celebrated as two women with completely different backgrounds who have created incredible opportunities for ourselves and our families. Instead we are ranked against each other for our differences, our game, our earnings. I think the concept of lists and the amount that players make is bollocks.
- You have to believe in yourself when no one else does- that makes you a winner right there.
- Passion is a huge prerequisite to winning. It makes you willing to jump through hoops, go through all the ups and downs and everything in between to reach your goal.
- I’m not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps. I’m the first Simone Biles.
- Papi, look at where you are. Look at where you came from. Nobody’s shooting at you. Nobody’s trying to kill you. They pay you to play a kid’s game.
- We do not need kangaroos; we need plumbers to attend to the many puddles found in the apartments.
- At this point I’m not physically able to attend the opening of the Olympics.
- I know they’re in Maryland right now. But a majority of the season ticket holders are Virginians, all the players live in Virginia, we have all of your [practice] facilities. . . . We’re in very serious negotiations, as I assume other jurisdictions are. Listen, we would love to have them.
- Just when we thought we were at the physical limit of the sport, then here comes Simone Biles. She’s the best I’ve ever seen.
- We had to balance the collective responsibility and the individual justice to which every human being and athlete is entitled to.
