Turn on the news proverb

 Turn on the news and you're going to see the negative. It reflects society. People pay more attention to those things. It's not specific to sports. It's across the board.

 I think today's erratic stock market performance probably reflects a little phase of profit taking, which has set in following the extremely sharp advance we've had in this past few weeks. Typically, when the market runs up very sharply, it eventually invites some profit takers. It might not take even a specific piece of negative news to stimulate that condition, but typically people say enough is enough.

 The heavyweight division is on the cusp of being called off for lack of interest, ... A hundred years ago boxing was one of the top three sports in the country. Now it's charitably twelfth on the list of top 10 sports. Therein lies its biggest problem. People have so many things to consider in the world of sports that it takes a major fighter to capture their attention.

 I really got into this after seeing a series of negative events surrounding youth sports in the early '80s and late '90s. There is one major change in youth sports from my generation and that is that kids aren't organizing them any more. It's done by adults. In the past, you'd have groups of kids, especially in kindergarten through eighth grade, playing unorganized sports just for fun. Things are becoming too organized and too competitive. Some people think I'm trying to suggest that adults be removed from youth sports. I'm not. I'm suggesting the adult ego be removed from youth sports.

 People live here, work here, raise families here - they are here for a reason. We get lost in the negative images and the daily reminders of how bad things are, when really they're not. We're going to try to take some of those negative comments and turn them around.

 [•Toronto's Jalen Rose, appearing on] Best Damn Sports Show Period, ... I'm pretty sure I've never heard anybody in professional sports make a comment so negative that early in the season. ... The Bad News Bears coach wouldn't even tell them that.

 We've got to find a way to have the military justice system operate at a pace that reflects the world of the 21st century with 24-hour news and a desire to report things that are dramatic and negative, and to repeat them over and over again until for some reason they are disproved or they're concluded, and the longer that period is the more harmful it is for our country,
  Donald Rumsfeld

 I don't listen to negative things from people that don't understand the game. When I hear positive things, it shows people that know football are really paying attention.

 While the studio's performance in the quarter will look dreadful, we don't think it reflects a significant negative turn in Disney's film business.

 There are some people. Some, young black men in the city that are doing positive things, that is serving the Lord, and not a negative influence on society.

 There is also, of course, another view which is one in which you have a home-grown problem. And one of the things that the London tube bombings have brought home to people is that there is the potential for disaffected, young Muslim youth who feel they are not getting the benefits the society can offer them can turn against that society in a very violent way.

 As a society, our attention span is getting shorter and shorter. People don?t want to invest an hour and a half in a game waiting for turns. You can wait six to seven minutes for a turn.

 All sports ratings are up. When you take the NHL out of the picture other sports start getting a lot of attention from the media. That gets people interested.

 There's been a definite negative turn in sentiment toward the kiwi. This reflects all those macroeconomic factors that we thought would inevitably start to be a noose around its neck. The growth profile is weakening.
