My style has been pretty much like a newspaper. It's got politics in it it's got media sports family relations you know all the sections you would expect and wonderful religion things.

When you have a background in combat sports people think you're this martial arts expert but really I'm just a guy who is able to do certain things without making a mess of himself.

ESPN has this problem with sports it's impossible to fill 24 hours with sports programming so they have to resort to things like poker and arm wrestling tournaments.

In America we have three major sports - baseball football and basketball. They get the most coverage. Then there's things like golf which mop up most of what is left. But track and field? We are way at the bottom of the totem pole.

My policy was just to give good things for sports in my region.

The two major things that changed the makeup of all professional sports are money generated by television and courts that players went to in order to win their freedom as free agents.

We might not make what athletes in other sports make but we have greater longevity and we do have certain freedoms to do things they can't do. Like stay home one week and play the next week.

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don't know.

I like people who are enthused about things they do like travel sports work. I like being with people who have things they're excited about.

One of the most difficult things for people who have been successful in sports is adapting to the daily world where you can't get an answer from someone until 5 o'clock tomorrow. There is always an excuse. Living 40 or 50 years like that doesn't get too exciting after a while.
