front of the offensive line of the football team under the bleachers, one day after school. I figured that wasn't the life for me. ~ MaryJanice Davidson

I'm a lot closer to my family and more team oriented. I'm so much stronger emotionally. I have proven to myself that I can overcome the most dreaded injury in football. It's almost like dying and realizing life has been given back to me. I can't wait to play. ~ Keith Millard

I think you can learn lots of skills playing football. Team building is one. You also learn how to solve problems within your team.

It gives you skills that you may not appreciate at the time. ~ Hope Powell

I would like to clarify one thing about the 1970 USC game. Talk about urban legend. There have been numerous stories and documentaries about Coach going to the USC dressing room after that game and bringing Sam Cunningham back into our locker room and saying, "This is what a real football player looks like." I was there and it didn't happen. It wasn't unusual for Coach Bryant to go to a visiting locker area after a game and congratulate the other team if they beat us and he did do that after the game. But he never brought anyone back to our dressing room. ~ Mal Moore With Steve Townsend

Monday Night Football. That was everything to me because you get a chance to show everybody what you're capable of. It's only two teams on that Monday night. ~ Jerry Rice

They were my Uncle Casey's favorite team-and my grandmother's favorite too. After watching the game with them, I was hooked. ~ Michael Vick

I learned how to play football and I got pretty good at it. I enjoyed being on a team with other girls. In Hollywood, girls are always competing against one another, so it was nice to be on a team with other girls for a change. ~ Nikki Ziering

One reason I won't compromise is because I believe honesty helps you win over the long haul. You can win a game tomorrow and lose a team. You can lose a game tomorrow and win a football team. ~ Lou Holtz

Brother John and I had our ears glued to the radio. It was a Sunday afternoon in early December 1941, and our football Giants were getting pounded by the Brooklyn Dodgers, an NFL team that played from 1930 to 1943 in Ebbets Field, a faraway ballpark I'd never seen. So far as I was concerned, Brooklyn was on the other side of the moon. The Polo ~ Ralph Branca

I consider myself a leader of this football team, along with a lot of other guys. ~ Philip Rivers

In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker, and the striker the first defender. ~ Johan Cruijff

Why do we so mindlessly abuse our planet, our only home? The answer to that lies in each of us. Therefore, we will strive to bring about understanding that we are
each one of us
responsible for more than just ourselves, our family, our football team, our country, or our own kind; that there is more to life than just these things. That each one of us must also bring the natural world back into its proper place in our lives, and realize that doing so is not some lofty ideal but a vital part of our personal survival. ~ Lawrence Anthony

I could barely speak after I was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers. I was going to play for the defending Super Bowl champions ... I immediately thought of all the great players on the team.

They epitomized for me what football was all about: the love of the game, the professional approach, and the desire to win. ~ Jerry Rice

If you see a defense team with dirt and mud on their backs they've had a bad day. ~ John Madden

You have to put all the criticism of this club down to jealousy. United have produced more players who have played for their country, more world-class players and more players who have won European Footballer of the Year than any other team in this country, so we must be doing something right. ~ Alex Ferguson
