character!

the fight in the dog!
Archie Griffin
The function of football, soccer, basketball and other passion-sports
in modern industrial society is the transference of boredom,
frustration, anger and rage into socially acceptable forms

identification with something bigger than the self.
Edward Abbey
Football is all very well a good game for rough girls, but
not for delicate boys.
Oscar Wilde
Academe, n. An ancient school where morality and philosophy

game played by beasts.
Henry Blaha
God, as some cynic has said, is always on the side which
has the best football coach.

you.

deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a
league game or something.

Sharks are as tough as those football fans who take their
shirts off during games in Chicago in January, only more intelligent.
Dave Barry
Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They
are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes.
This is not coincidence.
Erma Bombeck
If you're mad at your kid, you can either raise him to be
a nose tackle or send him out to play on the freeway. It's
about the same.
Bob Golic
At the base of it was the urge, if you wanted to play football,
to knock someone down, that was what the sport was all about,
the will to win closely linked with contact.
George Plimpton
You need to play with supreme confidence, or else you'll
lose again, and then losing becomes a habit.
Joe Paterno
If you can believe it, the mind can achieve it.

season, and baseball weather during football season.

All that I know most surely about morality and obligations
I owe to football.
Albert Camus
I give so much of myself on Sunday. I drain all the life
out of myself out there. I get paid to play, to win, to give
the city pride, so maybe everybody can forget for a little
while how hard life is.
Randall Cunningham
Violent ground-acquisition games such as football are in
fact a crypto-fascist metaphor for nuclear war.
Robert Downey, Jr.
We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.
Vince Lombardi
Forasmuch as there is great noise in the city caused by hustling
over large balls, from which many evils may arise, which God

of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city in future.
Edward II

the streets of London, 1314.
Football, wherein is nothing but beastly fury, and extreme
violence, whereof proceedeth hurt, and consequently rancour
and malice do remain with them that be wounded.
Thomas Elyot (1531)
I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers,
who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had
gone into professional football, the name Jerry Ford might
have been a household world today.
Gerald R. Ford
Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners,
only survivors.
Frank Gifford
Sometime, Rock, when the team's up against it, when things are
going wrong and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to
go in there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper.
I don't know where I'll be then, Rock, but I'll know about it,
and I'll be happy.
George Gipp
Whispered remark to his coach Knute Rockne

Gentlemen, it is better to have died a small boy than to
fumble this football.
John Heisman
Football is easy if you're crazy as hell.

helmet off.

or a baseball game, we have taken part in it.
