In the late-’80s, there was a big push to make American football big in Scotland. The Super Bowl was on TV, but it didn’t really catch on. When I was a kid, though, I became a big Miami Dolphins fan. I don’t really know why – I just liked the logo, I guess. I didn’t really know what was going on. – Kevin McKidd
I wanted to make the world’s greatest football undershirt. But I realized that no team sport had equipment for apparel. Apparel was an afterthought. – Kevin Plank
The majority of my family is Auburn fans, and I grew up watching Auburn football, and that’s always who I’ve cheered for. – Katherine Webb

Even though I support the blue side of Manchester’s football heritage, I don’t really mind that wherever I go in the world it’s not Manchester City that starts the conversation. ‘Ah, yes, Manchester United,’ is the response when I say where I come from. It’s commonplace everywhere – in Europe, Africa, Asia and even the U.S. – Lucy Powell
When I’m in town on Sundays, I sometimes go down to the Central Bar in the East Village to watch English football. But my natural inclination now is to get in the car with my wife and kids and get out of town. – Joe Scarborough
I played a lot of football, and I was a goalkeeper, but I didn’t really like playing in goal. – Katarina Johnson-Thompson

There is a broad cultural current that conveys the idea that a film is like a football team, it represents a nation, it is illustrated literature, filmed radio. These are outdated concepts, totally out of touch with today’s realities. – Jean-Jacques Annaud
Playing football and rugby is the Samoan sport. It’s part of the conversation at church. It’s part of the conversation in their barbershops, in the grocery stores. It’s what everyone is aware of and familiar with. They take a lot of pride in the beating you can take in the course of that sport. – Junior Seau
Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein. – Joe Theismann
