Football Is an honest game. It's true to life . It's a game about sharing. Football is a team game. So is life.
The game is choreographed; it is mental, it is physical, it is a battle. People can feel those hits when they are in the stadium, you feel them and you see the velocity of the players.
I am a football fan, yeah.
I deal with football from a realistic, logical point of view.
After I hurt the knee, football wasn't nearly as much fun. I was limited. But you make do with what you have. I adjusted some. I was lucky to play as long as I did, with the different kinds of injuries I got. I played with two severed hamstring muscles in my leg late in my career. I could barely run, other than to drop back to pass.
Football is a team game. So is life.
I love football. I really love football, As far as I'm concerned, it's the second best thing in the world.
There's an old saying amongst players in football talking about your general manger and coaches, they speak with a forked tongue.
I think I could have become an outstanding professional baseball player, but I don't think I could have reached the heights that I have in football - being one of the very top players in the game, being a world champion.
None of the body was designed to play football. Excuse me, you know, football, we're just not designed for.
As a football coach, everything in your life comes after your football schedule. I just could not make that commitment.
I've got news for you. We're gonna win the game. I guarantee it.
I don't know whether I prefer Astroturf to grass. I never smoked Astroturf.
Football is an honest game. It's true to life. It's a game about sharing. Football is a team game. So is life.
