Roger Kahn Quotes

Basketball, hockey and track meets are action heaped upon action, climax upon climax, until the onlooker's responses become deadened. Baseball is for the leisurely afternoons of summer and for the unchanging dreams.

Boxing is smoky halls and kidneys battered until they bleed.

Football is violence and cold weather and sex and college rye.

Horse racing is animated roulette.

I was showing early symptoms of becoming a professional baseball man. I was lying to the press.

Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.
