Football Games Quotes (page 3)

Baseball, football, basketball - these quintessentially American pastimes are recognizably sports because they involve play: they are games. One plays football, one doesn't play boxing...The boxing match is the very image, the more terrifying for being so stylized, of mankind's collective aggression; its ongoing historical madness. Joyce Carol Oates
Eric Cantona quote: "I started beach football in Monte Carlo when I retired from..."
I started beach football in Monte Carlo when I retired from football in 1997. I liked the game very much. Eric Cantona
Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It's part ballet. It's part battleground, part playground. We clarify, amplify and glorify the game with our footage, the narration and that music, and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage. Steve Sabol
Alex Ferguson quote: "Well, football is a hard game; there's no denying it. It's a..."
Well, football is a hard game; there's no denying it. It's a game that can bring out the worst in you, at times. Alex Ferguson
In football you always get judged on your last game. Whoever you are, or how amazing you are, it's the last game that everyone has seen. Thierry Henry
[F]or the most part football these days is the opium of the people, not to speak of their crack cocaine. Its icon is the impeccably Tory, slavishly conformist Beckham. The Reds are no longer the Bolsheviks. Nobody serious about political change can shirk the fact that the game has to be abolished. And any political outfit that tried it on would have about as much chance of power as the chief executive of BP has in taking over from Oprah Winfrey. Terry Eagleton
Erma Bombeck quote: "Anybody who watches three games of football in a row should be..."
Anybody who watches three games of football in a row should be declared brain dead. Erma Bombeck
Nearly everything possible has been done to spoil this game: the heavy financial interests;... the absurd publicity given to every feature of it by the Press; ... but the fact remains that it is not yet spoilt, and it has gone out and conquered the world."J.B. Priestley in English Journey (referring to football), published in 1934. J. B. Priestley
In the sweep of its appeal, its ability to touch every corner of humanity, football is the only game that needed to be invented. Bobby Charlton
Who but the sports-mad [Norman] Mailer would liken the battle between God and the Devil to a game of American football? The contest, for sure, has with [sic] own laws (so that after God and the Devil 'tackle a guy, they don't kick him in the head'), but each side is not above cheating—with God breaking the rules occasionally by throwing in 'a miracle'. Strangely, Mailer doesn’t mention Jesus in this agonising analogy, but then the notion of the 'super-sub' may be an image too far even for him. Christopher Hitchens
It is odd that we never question the feasibility of a football team practicing long hours for one game; yet in writing we rarely give ourselves the space for practice. Natalie Goldberg
I like football. I find its an exciting strategic game. Its a great way to avoid conversation with your family at Thanksgiving. Craig Ferguson
The game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score your points when you get the opportunity. Lewis Grizzard
It is wonderful... Steve and Dan took professional football to a whole different level with the way they played the game. The fact that Steve is going in with Dan is very special. Frank Gifford
Hayden Fry quote: "In football, like in life, you must learn to play within the..."
In football, like in life, you must learn to play within the rules of the game. Hayden Fry
