Fans tend to get too excited by streaks of either kind and I think the press does too. There should be a happy medium.

Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth.

A loyal fan base drives a successful sports franchise, just as loyal employees drive a successful business.
The fans can make you famous. A contract can make you rich. The press can make you a superstar. But only love can make you a player.
A fan is a person who can come and sit in the stand and pay their money and do what they want.
My definition of a fan is someone who doesn't question what you do, doesn't question what you say, and supports you in any and every way possible.
