Turf Quotes - BrainyQuote

Organizational structures that allow divisions and departments to own their turf and people with long tenure to take root creates the same hardened group distinctions as Congressional redistricting to produce homogeneous voting blocs - all of which makes it easier to resist compromise, let alone collaboration. Rosabeth Moss Kanter

Alone, Voting, People, Collaboration

There are many reasons why I hate college football. The 4-hour games drone on longer than Steve Lyons during the American League playoffs. The ever-expanding season threatens to creep into early July. Boise, Idaho, hosts a bowl game. And it's played on blue artificial turf. Stephen Rodrick

Football, Hate, Blue, College, Game, Why

I've separated my shoulder and my collarbone; I've messed up my knee a million times. I've broken my foot in several places. I've broken my toe a bunch, broken my nose a couple of times, and had a bunch of other annoying little injuries, like turf toe and arthritis and tendonitis. It's part of the game. Ronda Rousey

Broken, Game, Injuries, Messed Up, Nose

Along with my passion for horse breeding, I was a horse racing enthusiast... In 1974 I was elected as a committee member and subsequently as a steward of the Turf Club. I had a burning desire to clean up the sport, which had always carried the stigma of gambling and manipulation. Cyrus S. Poonawalla

Passion, Horse, Gambling, Racing, Desire

Popularizing - much less venturing beyond one's secure turf - was frowned upon for many years. I think I probably internalized the prohibition, even though I was - and knew I was - among the best speakers and writers of my age cohort. I don't mean I was the best historian - a quite different measure. Tony Judt

I developed my training routine going into my senior year at Jackson State. I found this sandbank by the Pearl River near my hometown, Columbia, Miss. I laid out a course of 65 yards or so. Sixty-five yards on sand is like 120 on turf, but running on sand helps you make your cuts at full speed. Walter Payton

There must be free and open interdepartmental discussion and consideration of everyone's ideas and opinions. These internal discussions must not be considered an invasion of turf, and must remain private... When everyone is on the same page, trust develops, and teams can grow and succeed together. Jerry Reinsdorf

Trust, Together, Succeed, Grow, Ideas

When I step into the ring with someone, this has got to be their vacation spot, but my home turf. So I go the opposite side seven rounds doing the same thing. Skipping, skipping, skipping. Then I go seven rounds going both ways. Skip to the left, skip to the right. George Foreman

Home, Vacation, Step, Doing, Ring, Right

I think it's absolutely absurd that we're playing on turf, and it's really a slap in the face to women's football by FIFA and just a show of disrespect. Megan Rapinoe

Women, Football, Face, Think, Disrespect

I remember the first time I played on a synthetic turf field. I thought, 'Wow, this is amazing. What is this stuff?' It seemed so much better than that concrete-like Astro Turf that was essentially just a green, thin carpet over hard ground. Julie Foudy

Time, Amazing, Green, Thought, Remember

We all can agree we want our kids active and moving and healthy. But we also have a right to know whether the turf fields our kids are playing on contain harmful chemicals. Julie Foudy

In countries or places where an appropriate grass surface is not an option, then turf is indeed a great alternative. But that is only when grass does not or cannot grow. Julie Foudy

Great, Grow, Places, Grass, Where, Only

I think that what we do out on the field is oftentimes a little bit better than what men do. I don't think that we flop around as much. I think we're tough. I mean, I've got battle wounds on my legs from the turf and sliding. And we're gritty. And we're feisty. And I think that I would never back down from a guy. Carli Lloyd

Men, Tough, Battle, Think, Better, Down

When I play on grass, my body doesn't ache. It can get sore, but it doesn't pulse, and my legs don't ache. When I play on turf, my legs can pulse and ache for up to 24 hours, and it could take 3-5 days to recover, whereas grass, after 24 hours, I'm ready to play again. Alex Morgan

Body, Play, Ready, Legs, Grass, Up

All presidents rail against the press. It goes with the turf. Helen Thomas

Against, Press, Goes, Rail, Presidents

Why are Washington and Oregon the home turf of every violent Left-wing radical? It seems to be a never-ending cycle of radical Lefties burning down Starbucks and moderate lefties upset they can't get their lattes. Milo Yiannopoulos

Home, Down, Why, Upset, Starbucks, Cycle

I'm into people's emotional lives and relationships and the complications of living. That's my turf. Mike Mills

People, Relationships, Living, Emotional

I enjoy learning about the new technologies. I enjoy getting to know the new fans and dealing with them on their turf. Lea Thompson

Learning, Enjoy, Know, New, Fans, Them

From the outside, Yahoo was extremely successful. It was making money; it was still bigger than Google. But when I got there, I learned what a disaster of a company looks like from the inside. There were a lot of vice presidents, and it was basically a turf battle between them. Stewart Butterfield

Money, Battle, Making Money, Disaster

I've seen fire, and I've seen rain. I've also had to scramble over tundra to get to the Super Bowl and seen baseball turf fields that could fry a fielder's soles. George Vecsey

Rain, Fire, Baseball, Over, Seen, Fields

Never fight turf on turf. Fight it on the basis of ideas. Elliott Abrams

Fight, Ideas, Never, Basis

Quality, Game, You, Injuries, Grass
