“For me, there's nothing that beats playing. When I'm not playing, I'll watch games on the television, watch stuff on You-Tube, everything. I just live for football, love watching great players.” GamesStuffWatchesPlayerTelevisionFootballBeatsTubesJust Live Author:Jermain Defoe
“The zest for life of those unusual men and women who make a great zealous success of living is due more often in good part to the craftiness and pertinacity with which they manage to overlook the misery of others. You can watch them watch life beat the stuffing out of the faces of their friends and acquaintances, although they themselves seem to outwit the dense delays of social custom, the tedious tick-tock of bureaucratic obfuscation, accepting loss and age and change and disappointment without suffering punctures in their stomach lining.” MenLifeSeemsAgeFacesSufferingSocialLossAcceptingWatchesBeatsMen And WomenMiseryDisappointmentDuesManageCustomsStomachUnusualDelayAcquaintanceTediousDenseTickZestZealousPunctureZest For LifeObfuscationTockTick TockCraftiness Author:Edward Hoagland
“It was electric. When Death Valley is rocking, it seems as if it might actually take flight. On Saturday, I went back to Baton Rouge to see Alabama barely beat LSU, and was, once again, reminded that Tiger Stadium is the best place in the world to watch a sporting event. ...

“Be ever gentle with the children God has given you; watch over them constantly; reprove them earnestly, but not in anger. In the forcible language of Scripture, "Be not bitter against them." "Yes, they are good boys," I once heard a kind father say. "I talk to them very much, but do not like to beat my, children--the world will beat them." It was a beautiful thought not elegantly expressed.” WorldKindChildrenBeautifulFatherLanguageGivenBoysWatchesHeardBeatsScriptureBitterGentleMy ChildrenGood BoyBeautiful Thoughts Author:Elihu Burritt
“Kiefer Sutherland is a crazy jerk on '24,' but you love him because he gets the job done. And I think that that goes for a lot of action stars, I mean Steven Segal is a jerk, but you want to watch him because, eventually, he's a jerk who can beat up bad people.” PeopleThinkingWantMeanDoneActionJobsStarsWatchesCrazyBeatsBad PeopleJerkGet The Job Done Author:Paul Scheer
“Consider children as a beat. Clearly not an institution of power, children don't vote and they don't pass taxes. They have no money, and they don't buy newspapers or watch the news on television. Consequently, children are one of the most neglected segments of society in the news, except as a subtopic of other power beats such as education, family, and crime. Children are in serious trouble in this society, which means the foundation of our society is in trouble, which means the future is in trouble, and that is news.” MeanChildrenWatchesTroubleCrimeTelevisionSeriousTaxesNewsBeatsVoteInstitutionsFoundationNewspapersOur SocietyNeglectedNo MoneyThis Society Author:Joan Konner
