Lovelock was for many years a contributor to the SBS show The World Game.
He also co-hosted ABC Radio Grandstand for a brief period.
Until recently he co-hosted Football Fever, a weekly football radio show on Sky Sports Radio, created by the late Paul Williams, alongside Les Murray and other football journalists, such as Francis Awaratife. The show was axed by the station, who decided to provide more airtime to its coverage of horse racing. Lovelock claimed in final episodes during March 2010 to be searching for another station for the program to be revived on.
He is also a yoga instructor in Mauritius, and can be seen on Sky News alongside former Socceroo Paul Wade on Monday evenings. He is a known Southampton, Cagliari and New York Jets supporter.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“Reading about ethics is about as likely to improve one’s behavior as reading about sports is to make one into an athlete.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
