Football Quotes
-
Not to be narcissistic, but I truly believe in order to make yourself better, you should see what you did before and what was good about that and what wasn't - same way a football team plays a game and then they go back and watch film.
Jake Owen

That's what we really mean by being feared on the football field. And not actually the player that fears him, it's the offensive coordinator that fears him or the running backs coach.
Jamal Lewis
-
I'm not a sports fan, but I remember watching highlights with post-rock guitar instrumental music over these slow-motion shots of football players. It's triumphant, and it's emotional, and that's what sports are for.
Brian Reitzell
-
When I get out on the field, it's all about football. I love football.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins

In football, you're dealing with grown men. In gymnastics, you're dealing with prepubescent teenage girls. There's a huge difference. At that age, you're not confident enough to have a voice.
Dominique Moceanu
-
I don't take a day off. I don't slack. All I know is hard-nose football. There ain't no breaks or vacations for me.
Corey Dillon
-
When I was at school, you couldn't draw and be into football, too. If you were into art, then you were seen as an absolute pansy, and there was no way you'd be admitted to the guys' world of football.
Peter Capaldi
-
The bottom line is I'm a football player, and I played three years of college football, and I produced all three years. I also got better every year, and I just felt like it was time to move on.
Jason Pierre-Paul

To me, discipline in football occurs on the field, not off it.
John Madden

You do a deal - business deal, real estate deal, stock deal - protect yourself at all times. I got that from boxing. That's from A to Z: that covers everything in life. And it started when I heard it in the ring. They don't say that in basketball or football or any other sport that I know of but boxing.
Bernard Hopkins
-
To be honest, football is my main goal. I never really had a backup plan.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

I always knew I would sing. I just didn't know if I would be successful or not. But I sang at school, I sang at parties, I sang at church. Everyone always asked me to sing. I'd be playing football with my friends, and my parents would ask me to sing for their guests. I was never very happy about that because I wanted to play football.
Andrea Bocelli

Most people have wanted me to go back to football. Which is cool, but I think at this point, some things are just more important than football. Football has afforded me an opportunity to take care of my family, to live out a dream, to meet people, to go different places I would never have been able to go. Football has been a huge part of my life. Giving that up isn't an easy thing. But I would rather us live in a country where there is freedom and justice for all than to be catching a touchdown. And like I told my wife, the America that I don't want to live in, is Charlottesville.
Anquan Boldin

'… the National Football League needs 'a guardian, not a CEO' to deal with the fact that 'the sport is simply more and more identified with violence, both in its inherent nature and in its savage personnel.'
Frank Deford
