I don't take sports seriously although I like that Scottish thing where they throw the poles. I'm down with that.

[So big games in baseball or football? Which are more compelling?] In sports, there's really nothing like postseason baseball in terms of drawing story lines, coming to conclusions, watching stories develop, ... In the Yankees-Red Sox series, Games 4 and 5 were two of the most thrilling games you'd want to see, and when you have a buildup like that, people are going to be excited to see Games 6 and 7. In football, the games can be just as thrilling, but they stand on their own. A regular-season game in the NFL has almost a playoff feel some weeks.

Other sports play once a week but this sport is with us every day.

The integrity of the game is everything.

I'll be back. (five days after being pummeled in his fight with Mike Tyson.)

We're the acceptable edge of the unacceptable stuff.
