Once you get behind a sport, you can bring it to a new level.

What people don't understand is that all of the events are valuable. Inner-tube water polo, Frisbee, they're all important. You have to put the same effort into each sport.

You can argue that boxing is the only sport that takes its biggest events and they're seen by the fewest people. The biggest heavyweight fight is going to be a pay-per-view event. Maybe they get a million buys. The Super Bowl is watched by how many people?

I think with what we did, and how well the kids from Oldham did and you throw in the four young kids from North who came down here and gave a really good account of themselves - it's pretty impressive. I think it shows the strength of the sport on our county. I think it's safe to say there's not another county our size in the state that put out these kind of results.

Ran her fastest time of the season. She's new to the sport, making a strong impact right now. She's taking 30 seconds off per race. That's pretty neat.

It's more than strange, it's disturbing. Baseball was the sport growing up in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Dodgers were everybody's life. Then, all of a sudden, they're leaving. They're going to a foreign place. I was angry. I never lost that anger.

From our standpoint, it pays to diversify. If there is one sport that is down, the other ones can pick it up. We don't live and die off of one or two sports. There are so many wild cards, injuries, crashes. We don't put pressure on one particular athlete to come through.

I said I hope they're ready for me; I won't step back and accept mediocrity. I won't accept being the sport between field hockey and softball.

We stepped it up a notch in terms of attitude and commitment to sport. Hopefully that will show this weekend.

One of the things that make it so newsworthy is that it's pretty darn unique for the sport. The allegations are very disturbing on their own merits, and that is magnified because it's lacrosse.

It's a tragic incident and it is of great concern. But it's just not fair to label a whole sport based on one team or a few players.

Those are stereotypes the sport has, in my opinion, outgrown. It's really a shame and an injustice to some degree that some people have attempted to label it in that way.

Certainly there's been concern expressed.. Particularly in areas where the sport is just taking root and people aren't as well-versed in its culture and history. But I think also there's a strong willingness to try to use this tragedy to improve our efforts to promote best practices and preserve a positive culture.

We sell to people involved in the sport and they resell to people they play with. In order to keep expanding and growing, we're developing a retail strategy now. Both brands are starting to get into stores, but the bulk of our sales have been direct.

We wanted to provide as much of a simulation of the golf swing as we could without making the game as tough as the real sport. Professional golfers have a huge variety of shots available, not just shots they choose from a menu before they play them. We've made the analogue swing even more analogue.

It takes one incident, one wrong decision, to tank a sport. This is about awareness. This is about protecting and keeping the game safe.

The newest sport this year is called snowboard cross, and it involves four snowboarders competing at the same time, down the same course. It's very acrobatic, with jumps and spins and all kinds of moves. There was a clear decision by the International Olympic Committee to try to attract a younger audience, and to go for these sports, which televise really well. And I think they've revitalized the games and interest in the games.

I wanted to do in boxing what Bruce Lee was able to do in karate. Lee was an artist, and, like him, I try to get beyond the fundamentals of my sport. I want my fights to be seen as plays.

Comparisons are really no good in sport, especially if it is a comparison between different eras and generations, for there are so many variables that come into play, starting from the quality of the opposition to playing conditions.

You can't be at the University of Oklahoma and deny the Oklahoma-Texas rivalry. It's there, it's prevalent in every sport. It means a lot to our players, our fans, our university and our state. And it's something that we really embrace.

The image of sports is very important, particularly to the sponsors. Usually the sponsors are buying a good image when they support a particular sport. Take away the good image and you put funding at risk.
