“It’s called soc-cer!” -- Chanted by U.S. fans at Al Bayt Stadium during Friday's World Cup match against England, which ended in a 0-0 tie (N.Y. TIMES, 11/25).
"Everyone wants to play faster because of the Warriors and the body movement and the ball movement, it’s unbelievable. I don’t understand how it’s like this now. I don’t know if it can stay like this, but I’m sure it’s fun to watch, especially from a fan’s standpoint" -- Kings coach Mike Brown, on NBA teams trying to copy the Warriors formula for success (BOSTON GLOBE, 11/26).
