I have been in many battles with great players, and not once have I ever tried to do anything dirty as far as taking a player out of a game.
To go into a competition and not strive to win is to be a dishonest competitor.
The only morality I'm interested in is the morality between your ears, between each player's ears, because that's the interesting thing to me.
I don't like winning in a violent way.
I think it is important to win a match, but I think what is even more important is the manner in which you win.
I remember my late father, who was the biggest football fan I have ever known, used to stress when I was younger that, win or lose, you always have to compete with honor.
There is no academic virtue in playing mediocre football and no academic vice in winning a game that by all odds one should lose...There has indeed been a surrender at Notre Dame, but it is a surrender to excellence on all fronts, and in this we hope to rise above ourselves with the help of God.
There is no such thing as sportsmanship.
I don't see why I should be happy scoring a goal against an opponent on a much lower level than we are.
