“It's a basic, elemental universe, one of the last remaining zones where violence and domination sort out who is top dog. That's football's glory, and its curse. The game of football doesn't transfer well to the real world.

“Everybody who plays top-level sport, whether it's golf or football, or whatever, needs to get into 'The Zone'... For me personally, on the morning of a round, preparation is always about getting into the zone. The less I communicate with other people, the better. I'm trying to rehearse in my mind what I am working on in my game: going through my swing keys, going through my putting keys. When I get to the course I get the pin positions for the day and I'll analyze those. I'll make a strategy for the golf course and look how I'm going to play it” PeopleNeedsTryingMindLooksPlayCoursesGamesSportsLevelsMorningPositionFootballKeysStrategyGolfRoundsCommunicatePreparationZoneSwingsPinsGolf Course Author:Paul McGinley
“The quibble I have with President [Barack] Obama is,and I think some other people will have it, too is that the rhetoric is fine, and identifying the problem is fine. But it`s to use a football analogy, he sort of pushes it into the red zone, and then tends to settle for a field goal.” PeopleThinkingUseProblemGoalPresidentFieldsFootballFineRedBarackSettlingZoneRhetoricAnalogiesPresident Barack ObamaIdentifying Author:Barack Obama
“There's a lot of dancing in football. You can see Victor Cruz doing a little bit of a cha-cha or samba move in the end zone. You can see Terrell Owens getting his popcorn ready. You can see Ochocinco doing the Riverdance. But not so much when it comes to ballroom.” LittlesEndsMovingBitsFootballReadyLittle BitRiversDancingZonePopcornCruzBallroom Author:Emmitt Smith
“It felt like I'd been playing second-string football for a long time, when, suddenly, I was playing in the Super Bowl. Even when 'Basic Instinct' was a hit, I still felt like I was running with that ball toward the end zone.

“I knew very little about Rugby. But, I think it helps in terms of an American audience the game is enough like football in that it's a battle for field position and you score by running into what looks a lot like an end zone. I think in terms the nuance of the game, Americans won't get that stuff. I think in terms of the peanut butter and jelly version of what you need to know, I think it's pretty clear.” ThinkingKnowsNeedsLooksLittlesEndsEnoughHelpingRunningGamesStuffTermAudienceClearFieldsPositionFootballBattleVersionsScoreZoneRugbyPeanutsNuanceJellyPeanut ButterPeanut Butter And Jelly Author:Matt Damon
