At the end of the day, we're professional prizefighters - stop acting like street thugs. We're not going to fight in the streets.

I'm the ultimate professional.

You can't live off your past.

Everybody's calling me out. Why do you think everybody wants to fight me? I'm the money fight.

Football is for everyone, no matter what background you're from, what age, what level you play at. This is what it's all about: coming out today, having a good time, and getting involved.

Baseball may be our national pastime, but the age-old tradition of taking a swing at Congress is a sport with even deeper historical roots in the American experience. Since the founding of our country, citizens from Ben Franklin to David Letterman have made fun of their elected officials.

You have to remember that professional football is a job, too, and some people have to get results on the pitch to pay to live.

I'd been at Chelsea for a while and progressed quite quickly until I got to the first team, and then it was different. I was used to playing every minute of every game, but when you get to that level, the step up is massive. There are world-class players in front of you, and no matter how talented you are, breaking in is difficult.
