I feel blessed that I had an opportunity to be in the Big Ten for four years as a player and be in the Big Ten as a coach for eight years. To get 12 years in a conference like the Big Ten - it's a first-class league with great towns and great fans.
Tennis doesn't owe me anything. Tennis is one of the fairest sports. It's given me so many extraordinary feelings.
I have some really cool memories here in Philly, and I thank you for the support. These are great fans, and I think when you play hard and when you do your best to win, they appreciate that. It was fun to be part of this organization and play for this city. I really enjoyed the time I was here.
I would like to wish the England squad every success. I would also very much like to extend those wishes to Martin Johnson, Brian Smith, Mike Ford, John Wells, Graham Rowntree and the rest of the England 2011 World Cup management team who have been fantastic and deserve people to know that.
I thank God for having played for four years in the best Barcelona team in history, but playing in the Premier League is also very important.
I grew up in youth programs in Chicago, so they are definitely close to my heart. It is all about helping kids and giving back to a sport that has given me so much.
I want to thank everybody for every day that I have spent at Valencia CF. It has been an honour and a source of pride for me.
It's been incredible and I thank Real Sociedad. I've given everything to the club.
I'm going to be a Niner, you know, I've been there - that's who drafted me, gave me the opportunity to come into this league, to be a professional ball player, and I was there 10 years, man.
I cannot let this opportunity pass without placing on record how much I have enjoyed my cricket with Kent.
I want to thank everyone who has ever put on a Cubs uniform and anyone who has ever rooted for the Cubs.
I'm very grateful for my time in Philadelphia and I want to thank the Eagles organization for the opportunity to play here.
