1. “Football isn't a contact sport, it's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.”
--Duffy Daugherty
Perhaps Mr. Daugherty is trying to eliminate the notion that football is an unmanly “contact” sports. Believe it or not, a lot of people think, or at least give tease to the nature of football wherein large, muscular men get close to one another trying to grab the ball. I don’t see the harm in that.
2. “Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors.”
--Frank Gifford
3. “We can't run. We can't pass. We can't stop the run. We can't stop the pass. We can't kick. Other than that, we're just not a very good football team right now.”
--Bruce Coslet
If you can’t do all those things you said you can’t do, you’re never a good football team.
4. “I feel like I'm the best, but you're not going to get me to say that.”
--Jerry Rice
You already said it dude.
5. "You guys line up alphabetically by height."
--Bill Peterson
This may take a while.
6. “We've got to find a way to win. I'm willing to start cheating.”
--Marv Cook
Well that turned out well!
7. “I have seen women walk right past a TV set with a football game on and - this always amazes me - not stop to watch, even if the TV is showing replays of what we call a "good hit," which is a tackle that causes at least one major internal organ to actually fly out of a player's body.”
--Dave Barry
Women aren’t interested in things their men spend time on besides their women.
8. “There's no substitute for guts.”
-- Paul "Bear" Bryant
How about glory?
9. “Most football teams are temperamental. That's 90% temper and 10% mental.”
--Doug Plank
10. “Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up.”
--Knute Rockne
I bet Mr. Plank would beg to differ.
