City came in strongly for me, put their cards on the table, and what I have found out since is that every game in England is a privilege - the atmosphere, the fans, the interest that surrounds it. Every time I go out on the pitch, I know I've made the right decision.
Allowing guys to celebrate and get the fans involved and excited - it makes the game better.
I love football. The games are a pure rush. By the time I'm done playing, I want to be among the best tight ends ever to play the game.
Just to get out, put it out on the line each and every night is a great feeling for a basketball player.
I know nothing will compare to that feeling of scoring hundreds in a big game.
Our hope is to deliver an incredibly fun and compelling game that will give the fans more than what they've been waiting for, and show a whole new generation of gamers how much fun it is to live the life of a pirate!
You can have the biggest markets in the world, but if the game isn't exciting, compelling, and competitive, it's not going to generate a lot of interest.
Fans can't score a goal but they have energy.
Time and time again, the players constantly surprise you and often not do at all what you expect and completely muck up your preparation, and that's kind of the beauty of the game. It wouldn't be as fun to the DM if everything worked out exactly how you thought it would.
Scoring goals is the best feeling you can have. I always look up at the stand for my family straight afterwards; it means everything to me that they travel to every game.
I get a real buzz going into a stadium, a full house, the anticipation of how the game is going to pan out.
When Clemson players rub that rock and run down the hill, it's the most exciting 25 seconds in college football.
I wouldn't want to be a DB in the NFL. They've got no chance. There's no contact down the field, but fans want to see points.
I go out and play not for the numbers, but for a chance to win and the thrill of playing in front of a packed crowd.
When you play football, you want to see something like a trick play or something that is very exciting. You want to give the crowd something to be happy about.
I think everyone is just expanding, with the centers shooting 3s. I think that just opens the floor up a lot more. A lot more shots are going up, a lot more freedom of movement. It makes it more of an exciting game.
It's not fun if you're sitting on the bench and aren't playing during Christmas. Damn, dude, I could've been watching this at home with my family. As long as you get some camera action on Christmas time, it's OK.
I'm a football fan in general. I'm always pulling for a good game.
There is nothing better than having your home crowd cheer you on and scream with you in big moments and get the crowd in the pulse of the game.
The men and women that are hired to take care of players' health, their salaries are paid by the team. Before games, you would see team docs and trainers, and they're every bit as as excited to, say, beat the Raiders as you are; their emotions are tied up in it.
Without fans who pay at the turnstile, football is nothing. Sometimes we are inclined to forget that. The only chance of bringing them into stadiums is if they are entertained by what happens on the football field.
If I'm not making plays, I can't get the crowd going. When I'm making plays, that's where I can feel a vibe and can get into it with the crowd.
Any guy would like to play being out for so long. You miss that adrenaline and everything that comes with it.
When I started playing basketball, they always would have me at the block, and I'm like, 'Yo, I don't want to play down here. I want to do something else.' This is not entertaining to me, and whatever the guards do, I wanted to do.
You can't play enough golf or do any of those other things that fill that kind of excitement that coaching gave me in the big games.
