Game Quotes
-
We never pay anyone Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!
Rudyard Kipling
-
This morning I was standing in the shower and thought how I was sick of losing and how it was about time I had a big game.
Benji Marshall
-
The game of life is the biggest game you'll ever play. We need to be a dreamer, an earner, a worker, and to believe in ourselves.
George Raveling
-
The average player would rather play than watch. Those who don't play can't possibly appreciate the subtleties of the game. Trying to get their attention with golf is like selling Shakespeare in the neighbourhood saloon.
Bob Toski

The future of Afghanistan is incredibly dark, and decisions are happening incredibly quickly. Speculation is a fool's game, but I've seen many political projections that look like the Taliban could hold most of the country, and possibly Kabul, within perhaps a short time. I can't imagine how Afghanistan's fall isn't going to be ten times faster than Iraq's. The role of women in that space is terrifying, and the idea of retribution is a nightmare.

The win that we had against them (Feb. 7) really didn't matter much. One game for us isn't going to say, 'Hey, we're the big shots of the Big East. Connecticut will come in as the favorite. There's no question about that.

Winning does something to you. It releases something in you, it's confidence and you get that nasty taste of losing out of your mouth. You get that losing mentality out of your system. That first game is going to be critical. Once we get that first game, hopefully it will be this week, we can start doing what we need to do for the rest of the season.
Brian Dawkins

The N.B.A. is not an easy job. As you get older, you play this game for 82 games a year, and you play 11 or 12 years, your body tends to break down.
Amar'e Stoudemire

Every game we played them (Dallas) was close, other than the last game. Actually we were up 19 points in that game, and we let them come back and beat us, we know we can win a game there. I think for us, it's can we finish games?
Eddie Charles Jones
-
We're young and we just have fun and right now we're here in the all-star game and it's unbelievable.
Alexander Ovechkin
-
It's nice that we win sometimes up here - one time in 50 years - it's kind of nice. We've had great games, but we haven't won. To win here is pretty special.
C. Vivian Stringer

It is easy to act as a Saturday morning quarterback and replay the game lost the night before. All of us seem to have better hindsight (the ability to see after the event what should have been done) than foresight.
Carlos E. Asay
