Close Game Sayings

#1. It is the best feeling in the world to have a close game come down to just a couple of plays and you are able to do it.

Drew Bledsoe

#2. My only close-to-game-plan is to follow good writing. If the writing is in TV or if it's in theater or in film, that's it. It doesn't really matter what the medium is.

Adam Driver

#3. If you want to aspire to be any pitcher in the game right now, it's probably Madison Bumgarner. I really keep a close eye on what he's doing, his preparation, his routine, how he goes about his bullpens and in between so I can incorporate that stuff into my game.

Tyler Beede

#4. When time is running out and the score is close, most players are thinking, I don't want to be the one to lose the game, but I'm thinking, What do I have to do to win?

Jerry West

#5. If I had known, would I have gone back sooner? If there was an audible reshuffle and click every time my path was altered, some Jumanji-like close-up of a game piece slotting into place, would it have changed our fate? It could have been that moment or a million before it; I'll never know.

Vikki Wakefield

#6. I'm never going to be content with a comeback when you end up losing ... You can't just accept being in a game that's close and end up losing it. It's just not okay.

Charlie Weis

#7. I think we spent close to thirty Euros pumping change into a game called Area 51. If the earth is ever attacked by aliens, you're welcome to stand behind me.

C.J. Roberts

#8. Why ask for truth when you close your ears to it? - Ser Barristan Selmy to Daenerys

George R R Martin

#9. Popeye the Sailor Man has more cultural longevity. Only women and poofs read or write now. Otherwise, these days, no sooner has someone been sodomised by a close relative than they think they can write a memoir. The game's up.

Hanif Kureishi

#10. 'Molly's Game' was a true story about a remarkable young woman named Molly Bloom. She was this close to going to the Olympics; she was ranked third in North America in women's moguls.

Aaron Sorkin

#11. I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them.

Gabriela Sabatini

#12. Pick one item, keep it in your hand then leave your house. Then "Quit to Title" and go back to the game again. Place the item anywhere and then go to your device's home screen. Close the app. Now start it again. You will realize you have duplicated the item now!

Minecraft Addict

#13. I know when it's getting close to game time, I create a different playlist for each and every game. Before the game, to game time, to warm-ups, going to the stadium, I have a different playlist that puts me in a different mode.

Cam Newton

#14. And that was it: infinite loop; no alt-tab out. You could force close, shut down the computer, start all over and run it again, and the game would still lock up and freeze at the same place. "Where's Popper?" No cheat code. Game over. There was no way past that moment.

Donna Tartt

#15. Two hours is about as long as any American can wait for the close of a baseball game, or anything else for that matter.

Al Spalding

#16. When I was 17 me and my friend had mopeds. We used to play a game where we would close our eyes and drive while counting to the highest number we could. Once I got to eight, and that was pretty much the most stupid thing I've ever done in my life. I ended up on the other side of the road.

Jason Flemyng

#17. Braves fans are one-of-a-kind. Your passion to win comes close to equaling that of the players that go out on the field each and every game. But when the team goes through rough patches, you're there to encourage and cheer and believe that things will turn around.

Tim Hudson

#18. There's truth in the idea we're never going to be perfect in love but we can get close. And the closer we get, the healthier we will be. Love is not a game any of us can win, it's just a story we can live and enjoy.

Donald Miller

#19. I don't know anybody else who lives 1,000 miles away from their job and gets to commute back and forth. The owner said, 'You can live in your beloved Swifton, but don't you dare miss a game.' I had a few close calls, but I didn't miss any.

George Kell

#20. He has never won a game of Galactic Expansion against the repurposed interrogator droid. But he's close now. It's never been this close.

Chuck Wendig

#21. Third-person camera is way harder than I even imagined it could be. It is the hardest problem in video game development. Everybody gets it wrong. It's just a question of how close to right do you get it.

Warren Spector

#22. Hockey is its own game. It's completely different than all the other games, although it's getting way too close to soccer.

Brett Hull

#23. I'm not even close to those guys, but I don't think anyone loves the game more than me.

David Wells

#24. I had a super close-up view of those incredible pants baseball players wore - truly, those pants were the real reason why a large portion of women even bothered to watch the game.

S.C. Stephens

#25. He settled his hat back into position. She was a rookie in her first big game, and he'd never let her see how close she'd come to unseating a champion

Susan Elizabeth Phillips

#26. China has great potentials; the people are hard-working and focused. But they have to close the gap as far as the pace of the game is concerned. Football in the future will get faster and faster.

Berti Vogts

#27. I can still play this game at a high level; I've proven that. I want to be home. I want to be close to my family. I want to be close to my foundation and my business interests.

Alonzo Mourning

#28. Maybe that's why the good Lord gave us these vivid memory capabilities. When stress hits, we can just close our eyes, lean back and relax, and enjoy a game of Tidly-Winks, the sound of a Pete Rose baseball card in the spokes of our bike, or maybe a nice slice of watermelon - with a sprinkle of salt.

Michael Buffalo Smith

#29. I just wanted to keep the game close until we scored some runs.

Jimmy Haynes

#30. It [would have] been very difficult. As I said, the rules ... but if the rules were put in place back when Michael Jordan was in his prime - no hand-checking, the game was more geared toward offense, wanting to promote scoring in the game - he could have probably got close. He did score 69.

Scottie Pippen

#31. I really can't believe what a state the Pyramids are in. I thought they had flat rendered sides, but when you get up close, you see how they are just giant boulders balanced on top of each other, like a massive game of Jenga that has got out of hand.

Karl Pilkington

#32. She was torn between the impulse to run and the urge to curl up like a pill bug, close her eyes, tuck her head beneath her arms, and play the game of since-I-can't-see-monsters-monsters-can't-see-me.

Holly Black

#33. Let's face it. Umpiring is not an easy or happy way to make a living. In the abuse they suffer, and the pay they get for it, you see an imbalance that can only be explained by their need to stay close to a game they can't resist.

Bob Uecker

#34. The greatest competitor was Bob Gibson. He worked so fast out there and he always had the hood up. He always wanted to close his own deal. He never talked to you because he was battling so hard. I sure as hell don't miss batting against him, but I miss him in the game.

Pete Rose

#35. Unless a man has considerable skill with and reliance in his weapon, he will not remain cool in the presence of dangerous game close by.

Townsend Whelen

#36. Well, I did know - but I just wanted the day to pass and the next day to come and then I wanted that one to pass. It was a horrible cycle. I felt so close to having to pack the game in.

Paul Gascoigne

#37. I like to think I'm pretty close in comparison to Aaron Rodgers. He's very athletic and gets the ball out quickly. He's very knowledgeable of the game, controls the offense totally, and that's something I try to do. Just know the offense inside and out.

Jimmy Garoppolo

#38. I can evaluate a player in a very short period of time because I'm very close to that game, very educated in that game and played the game for a long, long time. I wasn't just a guy with talent. I learned a lot about the game.

Kurt Russell

#39. It's funny how much of childhood is about proximity. Like who your best friend is is directly correlated to how close your houses are; who you sit next to in music is all about how close your names are in the alphabet. Such a game of chance.

Jenny Han

#40. You never had the opportunity to play with some of the great ballplayers, but being that close around them, and being in the same category, was a great feeling, to feel that vibe of all the best players who played the game.

Rickey Henderson

#41. Basketball is a simple game. Your goal is penetration, get the ball close to the basket, and there are three ways to do that. Pass, dribble and offensive rebound.

Phil Jackson
