Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.
It is amazing how the public steadfastly refuse to attend the third day of a match when so often the last day produces the best and most exciting cricket.
It's not about big markets or small markets. It's not about dominant teams or not. It's about the actual competition and how good the games are, how good the series turn out. That's what I think is the most important for fans.
The rush you get from competing in front of the whole world, there's nothing like it.
Love, as wonderful and horrible as it is, has at its center a kind of pitiful humor.
Sports is the ultimate escape, the ultimate in reality programming. It's true drama. You really don't know what's going to happen.
I get frustrated with certain aspects of the game. But there's things that delight me, it's just the uncertainty of it all.
I can only watch calmly if the match is decided or my team are dominating. But I get passionate very easily.
I only really watch sport. That's where you see real joy. I don't like watching much else on TV, because it's generally either twisted or sad.
The reason why people watch sport is to feel something. They want to feel emotions. So if the players don't give emotions, it's more difficult to get into it.
The magic of the cup is winning it, or causing an upset as far as I am concerned - but it is not so enjoyable for anyone when you are on the receiving end.
You get a taste of playing in the playoffs and what that's like, and it's a completely different world. You get a taste in those meaningful games. You get that taste, and you can't get it out. You want more.
The reason we get into the fight game is the same reason why we stay too long sometimes. It's because we enjoy it.
