Michael Wilbon Quotes

A video referee is useful for sure.

We've got to decide, how much replay do we want? Because if you start doing it from the first inning to the ninth inning, you may have to time the game with a calendar.

Obviously you have to trust the VAR to make the right decision.

All the major sports have video reviews, and for some reason, the Premier League, which is watched all around the world, is still in the dark ages.

The appetite for more instant replay in the sport is very low.

I think VAR is a very healthy development within the industry.

Distant replay morphs into instant replay, and future replay cannot be far off.

With goal-line technology, there are plenty of results that could be changed.

I have always said that I am a friend of VAR.

I think retrospective viewing of diving is nearly more important than some of the technology they are on about bringing in. If you do that and players get banned, it wouldn't take long before you'd cut it out.

I'm glad to see goal-line technology working; we should have had it for years. I do believe we will soon see managers being allowed one, or two, challenges.

Clearly, I'm for the VAR.

Goal-line technology is a good thing. The ref gets the signal and can decide based on that.

I always said that VAR is a very important tool on objective and important decisions.

I'm a big proponent of Hawk-Eye. I think it's a wonderful addition, not only for the players, but more importantly for the fans.

I'm seeing the ball well. I'm not trying for home runs. I'm trying to hit to right field more. When I do that, the home run comes.

I don't know how we could use it to improve the job that umpires do, ... The human element in sport has always been a big part of the game. I'm a football fan, too, and I hate instant replay in the NFL. Football games are taking four hours.

It is no more expected of most producers to read a book than it is, say, of Ted Williams to dust off home plate.

This year I'd rather lead the league in home runs, runs batted in and hitting.

Many have asked, pointing incredulously toward a sweep of tract homes and billboards, why picture that? The question sounds simple, but it implies a difficult issue - why open our eyes anywhere but in undamaged places like national parks?

If I send the ball home, I know what will happen to it. My twin brothers will take it out on the lot, like any 20-cent rocket.

It could be, it might be... It is, A home run!

I would like people not to think in terms of the 755 home runs I hit but think in terms of what I've accomplished off the field and some of the things I stood for.

I live a very simple existence when I'm not on the road. Because when I'm on the road making a movie, I'm away from home.

Babe Ruth was the home-run king of his time, but also the strikeout king.
