A Quote by Gord Downie

I used to run the band hockey pool - regular season and playoffs. I would write weekly reports, which were meant to demoralize and diffuse enjoyment for others.

When players are used to winning, they put out a little more. Basketball 3rd winningest coach (regular season and playoffs) in NBA history; won 1,037 times in 20 years.

Red Auerbach

I was a swimmer growing up, which meant being in the pool at 5 a.m. You get used to it. You get up at 4:15 a.m.; my parents, who were amazing, they were up at 4:15 a.m. or earlier to drop me off at the pool and then go to work. I eventually stopped doing that, but the pattern remained. I like getting up really early. It feels like my time of day.

Teddy Sears

Whatever you do during the regular season doesn't matter once you get to the playoffs.

Andy Dalton

Whatever happened in the regular season seems to not matter in the playoffs.

Carl Crawford

Usually I'm nowhere near the playoffs. My last game of the year is usually at the end of the regular season in April.

JaVale McGee

I get excited for the regular season also, but it's just added excitement when the playoffs start.

Robert Horry

In the regular season you always say, 'Take it one game at a time.' But the playoffs, they kind of make you do that.

Joe Flacco

During the regular season, you don't have the sort of time you do in the playoffs to prepare for people, so you've got to go to your strengths.

J. B. Bickerstaff

I used to see a lot of cocaine. There were journalists who used cocaine and didn't write about it and I didn't write about it. I would never do drugs, so I would always get the same response from people: "Smart kid, more for me." Whether it was a joke or sincere or both, but I was just happy not to be in there partying with the band like some of these other journalists.

Cameron Crowe

I used to coach a lot of hockey. I'd love to be a hockey coach, a bit more of a dramatic role and not comedic. I would go back to my hockey roots, that would be fun.

Gerry Dee

I am poised and confident in what I do, so I think whether it's shot clock winding down in the playoffs or regular season game, I'm going to have the same mentality.

Tyler Herro

It's all about the playoffs for me. I don't care about the regular season.

Reggie Miller

Coming to Denver, that's all we talked about - championship and going to the championship. Playoffs was not even a problem. We knew that we were going to the playoffs every season.

Danilo Gallinari

Not only do you have 16 regular-season games, you also have four preseason games. Then if you make the playoffs, you can have four more games before you get to the Super Bowl. So you can already have 24 games without the 18-game season. And 24 games takes a real toll on somebody's body.

Peyton Hillis

There are some poisons which, before they kill men, allay pain and diffuse a soothing sensation through the frame. We may recognize the hour of enjoyment they procure, but we must not separate it from the price at which it was purchased.
