Football Quotes

“Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.”

“For me, winning isn't something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream.”

“Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.”

“If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat.”

“Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?”

“Do you play football?' Brandon asks. 'No.' 'Baseball?' 'Nope.' Brandon is on a roll and won't stop until he's found the answer he's looking for. 'Tennis?'

“I've come to the conclusion that it's all about fear- fear that your kid won't come out on top, be a success. Forcing him into these brutal encounters will a) make a dame sure he is a success, and b) all you to see evidence of that success with the added bonus of a cheering crowd. This means that sports are supported with an almost desperate enthusiasm. The football team gets catered dinners before a fame. Honor Society is lucky if it gets a cupcake. Academic success-forget it. That requires too much imagination. There's no scoreboard.”

“Without self-discipline, success is impossible, period.”

“When I was in high school I asked myself at one point: "Why do I care if my high school's team wins the football game? I don't know anybody on the team, they have nothing to do with me... why am I here and applaud? It does not make any sense." But the point is, it does make sense: It's a way of building up irrational attitudes of submission to authority and group cohesion behind leadership elements. In fact it's training in irrational jingoism. That's also a feature of competitive sports.”

“You've got to take the initiative and play your game. In a decisive set, confidence is the difference.”

“Football isn't a contact sport; it's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.”
