“I managed the Dodgers for 20 years. It's hard to believe that there are only four guys in the history of baseball who managed the same team for 20 years or more. One was owner of the team, Connie Mack. Another was part owner of the team, John McGraw. Then there was my predecessor, Walter Alston, and me. It's amazing. In the 20 years I managed the Dodgers, 210 managers were fired.” YearsBelieveHardGuyFourTeamBaseballManagersOwnersPredecessorsHard To BelieveDodgersMack Author:Tommy Lasorda
“One of the reasons I'm lucky is to be around an owner like Jerry Jones. I'm not just saying it. The reality of it is the guy wants to win. As a quarterback, you need ownership and people in the front office and organization to help you win. If you don't get that help, you're always going to be fighting an uphill battle. You feel that, being a part of this organization with Jerry, that he's going to bring in people and sign people and want to improve this football team every year. It allows you to feel like, hey, we have a chance and I have a chance to do some special things around here.” PeopleIfsWantNeedsFeelsYearsReasonHelpingRealityGuyFightingWinningChanceTeamSpecialFrontsFootballBattleLuckyOfficeOrganizationHeyOwnersOwnershipQuarterbackJerryFootball TeamJust SayingSpecial ThingsUphill BattlesFront Office Author:Tony Romo
“People don't own teams to lose money.

“I was always pretty broad. I've had a couple bad experiences. One time, I showed up late for a gig in Brooklyn at an Italian restaurant. I ran on stage, did my show, and then some guy in the audience threatened to kill me because he didn't like my joke. Instead of talking to him, I just ran off stage. And then, because I was late, the owner of the restaurant threatened to kill me. And I was 19 years old and so scared that I almost started crying. But, I've done every gig you can imagine, in every state.” YearsStatesDoneShowsGuyTalkingAudienceImagineStageCryCoupleLateJokesScaredRanRestaurantsOwnersBroadsItalianOne TimeThreatenedKill MeGigsBrooklynBad ExperiencesTalking To Him Author:Nick Swardson
