How to use guy in a sentence?

1. Alan Williams:

   We’re in the age of our athletes taking care of their bodies, eating better, going, playing longer, you’re a sports guy. I know we’re on defense, but Tom Brady just retired. So, when you go ‘middle-aged,’ I think you need to broaden that term. I’m not sure what middle-aged is. ... As far as I know, those guys are still productive.

2. Joe Rogan:

   I think I'll probably vote for Bernie. Him as a human being, when I was hanging out with him, I believe in him, I like him, I like him a lot, what Bernie stands for is a guy -- look, you could dig up dirt on every single human being that's ever existed if you catch them in their worst moment and you magnify those moments and you cut out everything else and you only display those worst moments. That said, you can't find very many with Bernie. He's been insanely consistent his entire life. He's basically been saying the same thing, been for the same thing his whole life. And that in and of itself is a very powerful structure to operate from.

3. Lewis Hamilton:

   The car broke down... and I didn't lose a huge amount of points to the guy who's right behind me. It could have been a lot worse, so I'm looking at the glass half-full.

4. Lucas McConnell:

   No surprises at all ; there was a pattern, nothing is going to make an impact on this guy unless there's something severe or certain.

5. Giovanni Rocco:

   The way they kill a guy is a message, a trophy. Bring him here.
