Guess What, The Cheerleaders In College Are The Best Athletes In College. You Think, I'm Joking, They're Almost All Gymnasts, The Stuff They Do On Hard Wood, It Blows My Mind.
I'm Fortunate That I've Been An Athlete, My Whole Life, And I Work Out Like A Crazy Person.
I've Tried Not To Exaggerate The Glory Of Athletes. I'd Rather, If I Could, Preserve A Sense Of Proportion, To Write About Them Asexcellent Ballplayers, First-rate Players. But I'm Sure I Have Contributed To False Values--as Stanley Woodward Said, "godding Up Those Ballplayers." The Sun Shone, Having No Alternative, On The Nothing New.
Persecution Has Come Upon Us, Right Honorable Brethren, And Persecution In The Severest Form. Shepherds Are Persecuted That Their Flocks May Be Scattered. And The Worst Of All Is That Those Who Are Being Treated Ill Cannot Accept Their Sufferings In Proof Of Their Testimony, Nor Can The People Reverence The Athletes As In The Army Of Martyrs, Because The Name Of Christians Is Applied To The Persecutors. The One Charge Which Is Now Sure To Secure Severe Punishment Is The Careful Keeping Of The Traditions Of The Fathers.
Curling Is Not A Sport. I Called My Grandmother And Told Her She Could Win A Gold Medal Because They Have Dusting In The Olympics Now.
I Don't Believe Professional Athletes Should Be Role Models. I Believe Parents Should Be Role Models.
I Couldn't Disappoint People. I Did Not Want To Fail And Exhaust Myself, Because I Was The Kind Of Runner Who Trained So Little That I Couldn't Race Again Within Another 10 Days.
I've Always Been Very Impatient. At Age 10 I Frankly Found Life Boring, And I Can Remember Age 9 Having The Awful Thought, As It Seems Now Looking Back On It, A War! That Should Liven Things Up A Bit!
