I always turn to the sports pages first, which records people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The sports page records people's accomplishments, the front page usually records nothing, but man's failures.
In the morning, I reach for the sports page.
For almost 20 years, I've reported on some amazing feats of athleticism for ESPN. But the one thing that stood out, game after game, is that it takes a team to win. When I got cancer, that lesson got personal. And Team Livestrong became my team.
Most remember the groundbreaking first in sports; few remember the third or fourth to follow in those tracks. That's not downplaying anyone's achievements but rather recognizing that there comes a time when simply being there is no longer good enough for the record books.
I never thought I'd make the pages of 'Sports Illustrated', because I've always been skinny.
I judge the jobs I've had in this business by the places they took me, and by that standard, there simply has been nothing to match 'The National Sports Daily.'
I grew up reading the newspapers, mostly the sports section. I was a wrestler and would check to see if I was ranked.
I was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one.
For every athlete, the roar of the crowd goes away, and we have to learn how to turn the page.
I'm interested in all kinds of sports. I'll glance at the front page and then go straight to sports and then I'll come back to the rest of the paper.
