Owners want to make their team a winner so they can get more fans in the stands, and that's why they go after the best ball-players and pay 'em what they're worth.

Moses Malone

The owners need to have some protection against players jumping from team to team. The fans have the right to expect some continuity on the team they support from year to year.

George Blanda

I believe in work, in connections between the players, I think what makes football great is that it is a team sport. You can win in different ways, by being more of a team, or by having better individual players. It is the team ethic that interests me, always.

Arsene Wenger

When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.

John C. Maxwell

My oldest brother and my middle brother would always beat me up and take the ball from me. I used to cry a lot, so I used to come in here and get my dad. He used to be on my team, so he used to hold them down and let me score the basket.

Gary Payton

I don't know if a lot of players can actually say they played in the All-Star Game in their actual city, their team's city.

Kemba Walker

If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will...then we may take it it is worth paying.

C. S. Lewis

The A's were a team with very few resources. We didn't have access to players who were obviously great, who could do it all and were always in the headlines. We couldn't afford those types of players. So we had to figure out a way of cobbling together players into a team that might be competitive.

Paul DePodesta

I'm always on the players' side, of course. The owners are going to take their fill, but I'm always on the players' side.

Larry Johnson

In every team, there are players that don't seem important, but in the end, they prove to be one of the most important players. These players are quiet but can play in every position. They help the manager and their team-mates and are always available. They fight for every ball.

Roberto Mancini

If loyalty is, and always has been, perceived as obsolete, why do we continue to praise it? Because loyalty is essential to the most basic things that make life livable. Without loyalty there can be no love. Without loyalty there can be no family. Without loyalty there can be no friendship. Without loyalty there can be no commitment to community or country. And without those things, there can be no society.

Eric Felten

It's unfortunate that you don't see the loyalty from management to players and players to management like we used to see in the old days.

Kevin Johnson

Individually, City have such good players, and the idea of playing there with such amazing players and fighting for a title - because I feel we have the team to do that - is amazing.

Jesus Navas

In fact, an awful lot of N.F.L. club owners have practically no influence on their players at all, simply because they're not full-time working owners.

Pete Rozelle

I have a feeling we are going to be world champions, I can't really explain why. Brazil are probably the best team in the world in terms of individual players. But the team with the most gifted players do not always win.
