“Acting was a lot like football. When you're a DB and you're one on one with a receiver, you're going to dance. It's go-time in front of 100,000 people and everybody watching on TV. That's exactly how it is when a director says 'Action!' It's the same adrenaline rush, the same training process. I love it.” PeopleActionProcessActingFrontsFootballTvsDirectorsTrainingAdrenalineReceiverOne On OneAdrenaline Rush Author:Brian J. White
“In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line. In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! I hope I'll be safe at home!” IfsLongUseHomeSportsLinesKnownEnemyFieldsObjectsFootballWallSafeBaseballDefenseHolesBombsSpiteTargetMarchTerritoryTroopsHittingBulletsAssaultAccuracyQuarterbackReceiverShotgunsBlitz Author:George Carlin
“Tight end is one of the hardest positions to play in football. It's right up there with quarterback and cornerback.

“You need to just understand where the ball is and how to use your body. Timing your jump the right way is crucial. Learn how to use your body to shield the receiver and box him out, again, much like a rebound. Trying to beat a receiver to a ball can be a lot like you're posting him up. Rebounding is great practice because you can employ those skills - body position, leverage, timing - a lot more than you might in a football game or practice if the quarterback doesn't look your way.” IfsWayNeedsTryingLooksUseBodyMightGamesPracticePositionFootballLike YouSkillsBeatsBallsBoxesYour BodyCrucialTimingRight WayShieldsQuarterbackFootball GameReceiverRebound Author:Antonio Cromartie
“Compare the credit for a football touchdown, which might be shared by the receiver not only with the quarterback, but also with the linesmen who make crucial protective plays, etc. The success of the touchdown play depends on the receiver, it is true; but in a particular case it might depend far more on the work of others.” PlayMightCasesFootballParticularDependsCreditCompareEtcCrucialProtectiveQuarterbackReceiverTouchdowns Author:Ernest Sosa
