Sports

I would not say I was not interested in studies it just wasn't there in me to pursue academics. I would open a page in the textbook and start thinking about everything under the sun except what was there in the book. I was more into extra curricular activities and sports like NCC, rifle shooting, aero modelling, bike racing, etc.

There is a syndrome in sports called 'paralysis by analysis.'

Eventually you won't think of 'the Internet business.' You'll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn't clear.

The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.

Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.

Even though I started off being interested in news, and I spent 13 years of my career working in television sports, I always was passionate about television and movies.

You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.

When somebody asks about the greatest players in history, I start with Bill Russell. More than the best player is the MVP, and the MVP in the history of team sports is Bill Russell.

Most ball games are lost, not won.

The team has come along slow but fast.

Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play as a team is another story.

You win some, lose some, and wreck some.

I think extreme sports are really good for relieving stress.

The BBC sports department when I was there was seriously to the right of Ghengis Khan, and if people think I am strange, they should have met some of the production staff I worked with. Margaret Thatcher and the Queen were the pin up girls for many of them.

I'm nothing more than a sports slave.
