I always approached the sport from a more cerebral, analytical point of view, a management perspective. I was taking all business classes there at Georgetown, I really enjoyed that. I always sort of looked at football from that perspective.
Carra doesn't like me to fist him before the games, so I give him a high-five instead.
I am happy to be a role model for anybody - whether they are black, white, yellow, pink or purple.
My career only took off because of one football game. I thought it was funny. 'Playboy' called and offered me a cover just like that. I turned them down initially, because I was nervous about it and my boyfriend at the time didn't want me to do it, but they kept coming back , so I eventually said yes.
A football team is really a big family. There's a give and take... but a few are working for their name only. They go the whole week trying to figure out who said something, what they said and where it happened instead of showing that they're big men.
All I asked was, where do I sign? Some of the other navy men said I was rooting for the war to last forever. (after Browns gave him a monthly stipend during the war)
When Paul Brown talked contract, the championship game was part of it. We took the championship game for granted.
It'll be nice to know that every gallon of petrol a Manchester United fan buys is going into our kitty.
I think the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson rested Howard Webb had a lot to do with the result.
It says that alcoholism is a disease, and that it gets passed on from generation to generation. I've told my kids about that: "You've got the crazy gene in you, guys. When it comes time to kick back with the buddies, drink a beer, and watch a football game, just realize that there will be a day when that thing turns on you. So you better keep an eye on it".
College football is the only game in the country, of any kind, that the college game is longer than the pro game.
According to Ferguson, grey things are invisible. Apparantly its just total luck that planes manage to find aircraft carriers in the middle of the ocean.
I do enjoy playing some sports, even though none of them are organized. I enjoy football most of all.
I started playing ball when I was 13 and a half. Before that, I just wanted to play football and baseball but I kept growing so I figured it was time for basketball.
The great ones don't come cheap.
I was feeling as sick as the proverbial donkey.
No regrets, none at all. My only regret is that we went out on penalties. That's my only regret but no, no regrets.
There's only one place you want to be and that's Wembley, Old Trafford or Anfield.
When we found out Blackburn's owners wanted us to do a chicken advert for Venky's, we didn't really know what to think. I had to pretend to love it, but the truth is, one bite and my stomach was in knots.
The street is the best way to become a good footballer.
If you cut me in half, I'm a footballer.
I had a hockey puck and stick-the only ones in town. I definitely would have played hockey ahead of football, had it been available.
I started out in a kid’s backyard playing touch football and I never abandoned the principle when I got to the pros: if they can’t touch you, they can’t tackle you.
I'm a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.
We want the right people, the ones who love to play football. I want a guy who, if I punch him in the mouth, doesn't stand there and say, ?Why did you punch me?' I want the guy who punches me back first, and then asks me why I did it.
