“First of all, I wish everyone who loved football could stand in the quarterback's shoes just for a play, because I think it would be tremendously humbling to anyone who loved the game to say, "I didn't -- I had no idea." You can think about what it would be like, and the cameras are getting better at giving that perspective, that one that the skycam comes down and you get a sense of it, but you just -- you don't know.” ThinkingKnowsGivingFirstsIdeasPlayWould BeGamesWishFootballPerspectiveDown AndCamerasShoesNo IdeaGet BetterQuarterbackHumbling Author:Steve Young
“When I was writing the script, I knew didn't want to make a sports movie. I was very clear that I wanted to make a sibling rivalry story. So when I was writing the script, the football was getting in the way of the drama. One day, I saw Michael Haneke's Funny Games, which is probably the most violent film I've ever seen - but the violence is off camera. When I finished watching the film, I said, 'Hey, that's what I have to do.' Haneke gave me this solution.” WayWantWritingSaidStoriesWantedFilmGamesSportsClearSawsViolenceFootballDramaOne DaySolutionsCamerasScriptsFinishedViolentHeySiblingRivalrySibling RivalrySports MovieFunny GameViolent Films Author:Carlos Cuaron

“The last jobs I had were fixing cars and covering football games for a local access tv station.

“I think people are wrong to do it, to compare him to your way of wanting to do it. If you're passionate about it, do it and do it your way. It's not always going to be in front of the cameras after a football game - that was the way I did it. Somebody else has a different way, and that's [James] LeBron, and I know who he is. And I can't get into specifics, but it did upset me that people were calling him out for that because they were just wrong.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWayI CanDifferentGamesFrontsFootballCallingCamerasPassionateCompareUpsetDifferent WaysFootball GameSpecifics Author:Andrew Hawkins
“I'm closer to being happy. I'm doing things that make me happy. In football I loved to practice and I loved to play, but I hated to be in meetings, hated to talk to the media, hated to have cameras in my face, hated to sign autographs. I hated to do all those things.” PlayFacesPracticeMediaFootballCamerasMeetingsHatedMake Me HappyAutographsSigning Autographs Author:Ricky Williams
