"I have this platform, I'm the executive producer of this show, it has my name on it, I want to do something that's going to be a part of something positive for women in sports."
"You're juggling all these things happening, and I'm really excited about that type of performance aspect of it."
"Obviously, it's going to be a very different type of an Olympics. There's probably a little sadness in that for the athletes."
Gretzky is set to increase his NHL on TNT appearances around the Winter Classic and the run to the playoffs. But he's had an impact on his coworkers in his appearances so far.
"I was inducted into the Sportscasting Hall of Fame, and I was actually mad. Because it meant, like, 'I'm near the end,' and I didn't like that."
"There's no reason there couldn't be a female head coach, there's no reason there couldn't be a female commissioner. We have a female president in our league, a female general counsel, and I think we have to get to the world where it almost doesn't matter."

"To me, the name Sports Illustrated means more than a job. I just want to see Sports Illustrated make it."
"They gave me essentially everything I wanted. ...It was like everything that I had kind of thought of over the last year."
A soccer-heavy focus makes sense given fuboTV's brand, but is this venture going to grab viewers?
"As soon as I got back in front of the camera or behind the mic, my confidence in myself and my ability to listen and perform...people came up to me and messaged me like 'Wow, you just seem way more in control of who you are and you seem more confident.'
