Who is the "Me" Behind These Words?

As we keep reiterating, it is our belief that words tell you everything you want to know about a person. This week Grizzlee has dived deep into the bottom of the interweb to find some quotes from your favorite sports persons.

If I made a mistake on a previous point, forget it; should a thought of victory suggest itself, crush it.
