People are interested in pro football because it provides them with an emotional oasis; they don't want football to get involved in the same types of court cases, racial problems and legislative issues they encounter in the rest of American life.
Pete Rozelle

I don't know much about football but everyone seems to say that it is all about possession.
Julie Harris

It strikes me that these days, clubs don't even want players who can truly play any more; they just want athletes, quick guys who don't have a football brain, can just run and run; some of them, Jesus. I can never imagine acting like that.
Robbie Fowler

You couldn't take football away from me, you couldn't take acting away from me.
Dougray Scott

So my dad raised me, and he's a huge football fan.
Lisa Guerrero

If you'd rather go to the football game than read a comic, that's fine. I'd rather do both.
Rob Walton

In London there was an article about all these girls bending it like Beckham, and in India there's this big wave of girls playing football. Wow! I can't believe a movie's done this!
Parminder Nagra

I also watched a lot of football and sports. I haven't had much time to watch too much TV lately.
Casper Van Dien

Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, there is no reason either in football or in poetry why the two should not meet in a man's life if he has the weight and cares about the words.
Archibald MacLeish

I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.
Lisa Guerrero

Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.
John Leonard

It took me a while to realize that basketball wasn't football.
Merlin Olsen

Money is not everything. My ambition was football itself, not the money I'd make from it. If that brings me and my family a more comfortable lifestyle, then that's fine. But I don't spend my time between games and training sessions thinking about figures.
Alessandro Del Piero

It was actually a very nice little book done by a gift book company. They illustrated it with pictures from 1920s football, before there were face guards.
Gregg Easterbrook

I was not a very good football player when I started out.
Lynn Swann

From my point of view what I have to do now is appreciate and enjoy what football gave me, but now do something else with the same energy and enthusiasm I gave to football without expecting the same results.
Graeme Le Saux

For me football is more about making the right pass at the right time.
Michel Patini

And of course in America you've got American football and baseball and all those other ball games, soccer has become a little niche that the women have kind of filled.
Parminder Nagra

With the club now in administration and concern about where the money for land sale has gone, I know there are huge commercial difficulties to be resolved, but I hope that football will once again become the most important issue.
Anne Campbell

I remember playing football dressed in peculiar costumes with some friends in France and laughing so hard we couldn't even stand up, let alone kick the ball.
