In life as in football, fall forward when you fall.

Arlie Russell Hochschild

If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being "mother's only accomplishment," today's children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child's needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.

Apolo Ohno

I wanted to play football or be a boxer, but my dad didn't want that because of all the impact. But in 1992 I was watching short track, and it was obscure, but they looked like superheroes in their tight outfits, and I thought it was amazing. I wanted to do that. I made the national team at 14.

If you want to coach you have three rules to follow to win. One, surround yourself with people who can't live without football. I've had a lot of them. Two, be able to recognize winners. They come in all forms. And, three, have a plan for everything. A plan for practice, a plan for the game. A plan for being ahead, and a plan for being behind 20-0 at half, with your quarterback hurt and the phones dead, with it raining cats and dogs and no rain gear because the equipment man left it at home.

What are you doing here? Tell me why you are here. If you are not here to win a national championship, you're in the wrong place. You boys are special. I don't want my players to be like other students. I want special people. You can learn a lot on the football field that isn't taught in the home, the church, or the classroom. There are going to be days when you think you've got no more to give and then you're going to give plenty more. You are going to have pride and class. You are going to be very special. You are going to win the national championship for Alabama.

Bear Bryant

I always remember the words of George Halas, the owner of the Chicago Bears football team.

His response, 'It’s only work if there’s someplace else you’d rather be.'

She (Campbell) really has a great foot and skills.

She hasn't put her foot wrong in the last year or two, ... but there are multiple possibilities for cock-ups and gaffes and all those sorts of things.

She put her foot on the gas. I didn't know what to do.

She is doing the little things like opting for the 5-10 foot jump shot which she can hit and she did a nice job for us on Tuesday.

She kicked her foot at it, and we don't get the call. That was a big possession for us.

Most people know more about professional poker players than football players. It's amazing.

Mo guaranteed me some new players, and a kind of football, more offensive. He didn't guarantee me victory, but to try, it was very important to me.

Brian Molko

There's a difference between 'glamour' and 'glam rock'. Glam rock, to me, is a bunch of straight, hairy, football-liking lager lads dressed up in mother's castoffs and glamour is a certain sophistication, a certain other-worldliness, a certain unattainableness, which I think we certainly calculate. We believe that a band should be slightly larger than life - you should be transported to an alternate reality. I'm giving you some really good answers here, I'm very proud of myself.
