This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games.

I think it's reasonable to think he can play 120 games. I know we're going to have to rest him, and some days he'll come in cranky and unable to go.

Transformation is my favorite game and in my experience, anger and frustration are the result of you not being authentic somewhere in your life or with someone in your life. Being fake about anything creates a block inside of you. Life can’t work for you if you don’t show up as you.

Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them.

I think the fact they were scheduling without knowing if Brett Favre is going to be back, and they still gave us three national games, shows you the Green Bay Packers are still an appealing draw.

Adolf Anderssen
