"The importance of teammates is the thing I appreciate the most from those years. I was a lucky guy. There is nothing better than good teammates. I don't care what anybody says, you can't do it alone. It takes a good team for you to be a good player, and the same goes for playing on a bad team. I see Vincent Lecavalier play all the time. He gives it his all, but it comes down to your teammates,"

"I never shot a deer. I've never shot anything in my life. I never hunted. I'm just not that type of guy. But there's no doubt in my mind that I would have killed to win. That really scares me sometimes. Right now I think about it, and I get little goose bumps. I would have done anything - absolutely anything - to win. In a war, maybe that's what happens. It was our society against their society."

"Fabregas looking left.....this is Abou Diaby...tall, rangy...and going for goal....OOOHHHH - What an absolute screamer! Abou Diaby! Arsenal 1, Derby County 0. A glorious strike! Found in space, cut inside worked the yard more in space and thumped it!"

"Taylor....Benjani coming in..........OHHHHH, HOW ABOUT THAT! A bullet of a header; Totally out of the blue - It's Portsmouth 1, Manchester United 1! Utaka did well...forcing it wide, Taylor with an in cross, Benjani coming from a deep position; wasn't picked up.....he launched himself at it....1-1. No one could see that coming....and no one saw Benjani coming."

"The mad side of genius: Cantona is dismissed! Where can there be a place in the game for a man of such extravagant talent, a man of such wicked temperament? A man who has been quite rightly dismissed, a man who has now got... OH MY GOODNESS ME! HE'S JUST KICKED- HE'S PUNCHED A FAN! Eric Cantona has jumped in and scissor-kung-fu-kicked a fan! Manchester United fans are coming across - I have never seen as disgraceful an incident as that in all my years in football! Eric Cantona should be thrown out of the game, for that sort of incident!"

"Rooney, into space and Anderson....looks for Tevez, can he get away from Kilbane, Carlos Tevez, brilliantly done...can he finish...TEVEZ - HE CAN! Manchester United have the breakthrough! Superb finish. Through the goalkeeper and he rifled it in."

"Lampard......Drogba wanting it through the middle....Brilliant pass....Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant. Sheer quality, the delivery from Lampard. Drogba's rich vain in goal scoring form continues."

"Cole out.......Purse....trying to find Greening......Ohhh, what a touch...in-towards Geoff Horsfield....IT'S IN! THEY HAVE THE EQUALISER! I think it's Earnshaw's first touch!"

"Pires now.......Bergkamp is to his left.....room for a bender - but....AHHH!! AND IT'S IN! What a ghastly moment for Russell Hoult, who seemed to have it covered. It was bending....it was moving in the air....with the goalkeeper had a splendid game for West Bromwich Albion...will know he had it covered."

"Denilson......on to Adebayor; great chest trap.....Adebayor - on a hat trick....AND GETS IT! And that was a very special goal. Magnificent.....it was all about the first touch. Hit high...look at the jump - Magnificent. Then the composure and a low bent finish. A hat trick for Emmanuel Adebayor. Magnificent....Majestic; then picked himself up, little shimmy....side foot finish - Adebayor has three, Arsenal have five. Derby have conceded nine goals in two games in north London this season."

"Faye...this is Davies...Anelka, still looking for his first Bolton goal...Nicolas Anelkaaa...HE GETS IT! A terrific goal. From the minute he picked that ball up, I think he had one thing in mind. And Bolton half time lead is commanding."

"I am against him both as a foreigner and as someone not good enough."

"Charlotte, can you tuck this down here for me?"

"My school was 17 years as a player and another 16 watching more games probably than any coach has - all over the world, all systems. I couldn't go to school and write it down for people who are far less experienced, telling me what to do and how to do it."

"If England had Fergie, Wenger or Mourinho in charge, they would win the World Cup."

"I’ll let the racket do the talking."

"You cannot be serious!"

"If, in a few months, I’m only number 8 or number 10 in the world, I’ll have to look at what off-the-court work I can do. I will need to do something if I want to be number 1."

"This taught me a lesson, but I’m not sure what it is."

"You are the pits of the world! Vultures! Trash!"

"This is Howard Cosell telling it like it is."

"50% of the people hated him, 50% of the people liked him, 100% of them tuned in to hear him."

"Historian (showing Miles a tape of Howard Cosell): At first we didn't know exactly what this was, but we've developed a theory. We feel that when citizens in your society were guilty of a crime against the state, they were forced to watch this. Miles Monroe (Woody Allen): Yes. That's exactly what that was."

"History will reflect that Howard Cosell was easily the dominant sportscaster of all time, and certainly the most famous."

"There it is, ladies and gentlemen, the Bronx is burning."

"Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, persecuting, distasteful, verbose, a show off. There's no question that I'm all of those things."

"He's going to go all-the-way. (often quoted by Cosell during the "Halftime Highlights" segment of ABC's Monday Night Football games to announce touchdowns scored in games on Sunday a day earlier. Adopted as a tribute, and modified to include a hesitating voice cadence by Chris Berman of ESPN as He could... go... all... the … way!)"

"I'm one helluva communicator."

"[T]hey wanted... another Joe Louis. A white man's black man... Didn't these idiots realize that Cassius Clay was the name of a slave owner? … Had I been black and my name Cassius Clay, I damned well would have changed it!"

"I was infected with my desire, my resolve, to make it in broadcasting. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and how."

"That little monkey gets loose, doesn't he?"

"Look at that little monkey run!"

"That little monkey. The theorem was that he was too small to play in the NFL."

"This, we have to say it, remember this is just a football game, no matter who wins or loses. An unspeakable tragedy, confirmed to us by ABC News in New York City: John Lennon, outside of his apartment building on the West Side of New York City, the most famous, perhaps, of all of The Beatles, shot twice in the back, rushed to Roosevelt Hospital, dead … on … arrival. Hard to go back to the game after that newsflash, which in duty bound, we had to take."

"He is working Duran effectively....and Duran must resolve from pulling in...and he does...WHAT?! DURAN HAS QUIT?! ROBERTO DURAN HAS QUIT!!! There can be no other explanation. Pandemonium in the ring, and Roberto Duran has quit!"

"Crowd screaming chanting ALI! ALI! Legends die hard and Ali is learning that even he can not be forever young."

"The Rooneys are the finest people, the people I most respect in American sports ownership. I've always felt that way. And there's no reason to change. They are people of integrity and character... I have a whole transcendental feeling for the Steelers and the Rooneys and Pittsburgh."

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Sonny Liston's not coming out! Sonny Liston's not coming out! He's out! The winner and new heavyweight champion of the world is Cassius Clay!"

"Hop in the Cordoba, baby, we're going bowling!"

"He's got more moves than Mae West!"

"Tell your ma, tell your pa, I'm gonna send you back to Arkansas!"

"Lord Stanley, scratch their names on your fabled Cup!"

"The Stanley Cup has come to the city of Pittsburgh!"

"And you can spit-shine your shoes Pittsburgh, you're going dancing with the Lord of Lords, Lord Stanley!"

"Great Balls of fire!"

"Shave my face with a rusty razor!"
