But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life... Football is important, but not as important as you once thought it was.
Brett Favre

Just, you never know what the next day is going to bring. That goes for football, goes for off the field, and I gave up a long time ago trying to predict the future and trying to deal with things I couldn't deal with.
Brett Favre

I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember.
Brett Favre

In this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life.
Brett Favre

Well family is obviously the most important. There was a time when I thought football was the most important.
Brett Favre

That's kind of how I approach life and football; why dwell on something that's hasn't happened.
Brett Favre

Tiger is the greatest thing that's happened to the tour in a long time. He has brought incredible attention to golf at a time of year when football and the World Series always take precedence. Everything I've heard about him seems to be true.
Payne Stewart

Like a baseball game, wars are not over till they are over. Wars don't run on a clock like football. No previous generation was so hopelessly unrealistic that this had to be explained to them.
Thomas Sowell

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

That's another thing, we made up games. We didn't have equipment. When it snowed, we would play slow motion tackle football. We would play hockey, but we wouldn't skate. We just made things up. I loved doing that.
Mike Krzyzewski

When I was growing up, there weren't any Little Leagues in the city. Parents worked all the time. They didn't have time to take their kids out to play baseball and football.
Mike Krzyzewski

When I went to high school, an all-boys' school, a Catholic school, I tried out for football, and I didn't make it. It was the first time, athletically, that I was knocked down.
Mike Krzyzewski

Don't matter what they throw at us. Only angry people win football games.
Darrell Royal

You know, a football coach is nothing more than a teacher. You teach them the same subject, and you have a group of new guys every year.
Darrell Royal

Football doesn't build character. It eliminates the weak ones.
Darrell Royal

Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women, it is simply a good excuse not to play football.
Fran Lebowitz

It's so easy for a kid to join a gang, to do drugs... we should make it that easy to be involved in football and academics.
Snoop Dogg

It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands.
George Santayana

I enjoy talking to my football men and my chemistry classes and I feel sure that they are quite interested in what I have to say.
Knute Rockne

Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up.
