“It never changes. Football is a game of repetition, mental and physical. You may try to articulate it a little different, but it's the same thing: Get better players, make fewer mistakes, and drill the fundamentals into your players' heads. The rest of it is a joke. Teams aren't winning because of what they had for breakfast of what some coach said in the locker room.” TryingMayLittlesSaidDifferentGamesWinningRoomsMistakePlayerTeamFootballJokesFundamentalsCoachesGet BetterNflBreakfastFewerRepetitionNever ChangeDrillsLockersLocker Room Author:Barry Switzer
“One starts gambling for a joke, out of curiosity, as a little challenge to fortune. One goes on, pricked to the quick by delusions, excited by vague desires that grow. Woe to you if you win anything - an AMBO, a small TERNO! It is all up with you, for your chance of winning seems certain. ... It is the devil's money going back to hell.” IfsLittlesSeemsDesireCertainWinningGrowsChallengesChanceHellGoes OnJokesDevilFortuneCuriosityExcitedDelusionGamblingVagueWoe Book:The Land of Cockayne (Matilde Serao) (Literary Thoughts Edition) Source: The Land of Cockayne (Matilde Serao) (Literary Thoughts Edition)

“Man must be able to recover, to win out, triumph over adversity. And I don't mean just the little adversity like paying his room rent or something. But those deep, deep human adversities because something he has faith in has turned to ashes. Where someone he loves turns out to be just another joke. You get to the point of suicide. But you can bounce back - they can't completely destroy you.” MenHumansMeanLittlesAbleTurnsWinningRoomsJokesAdversitySuicideTriumphHave FaithAshesBounceTriumph Over Adversity Author:Frank Capra
