I play football every Tuesday and Thursday early in the season. I am smart enough at the game. I score a lot of goals. I wouldn't be the best in the world but I am OK.
Football is my first passion. I've played it since I was a little kid.
I don't take myself seriously all the time; I have to do quirky things, such as helping football teams, moving the ball away from McAllister's foot, getting into The Sun and The Star - because, you know, I like sensationalism, it's a part of what I do.
I played football in high school, I played baseball when I was younger, things like that, but I think it was the passion I had for track where you want to do an individual sport and be the best, I think - there's nothing that can replace that.
It's certainly a loss for us here at the University of Washington, because Jeff Compher has been a wonderful friend and administrator. Jeff is a football man first, but he has the compassion and desire to make all of Northern Illinois' programs successful. He's one heck of a guy.
We have our own reasons for what's motivating us right now.
As you get older, youre always maturing, youre always learning something new about yourself.
We did it together. Not one individual carried this team.
I try to take what's given to me and then mold it to be a better football player.
I think it's important to cross train. Surfing is a good cross training sport for your shoulders. I don't think I know of any other football player who does it, who can go and paddle out past the sets.
Football is pretty much played 16 times a year, where training is kind of a year-round thing.
I take pride in my life-my wife, my family. I try my best not to have football define the person that I am.
I am a National Football League player of American Samoan heritage. Because of my status as a professional athlete, I have been blessed to play a role in educating players and fans about the culture and history of America's southernmost territory.
I used to go play football matches in the morning, and Id go straight from me football game to a dance competition.
I try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then, it's like watching preseason football.
My teammates, they keep you focused.
I've played long enough to know that certain games are certain ways. You're gonna throw it less in others, more in others, and just look at what the team needs that day to win a football game.
So instead of the Super Bowl, we've got the Stupor Bowl. Two once-proud teams, now 0-4 and stumbling through the season like zombies. And if you think the Cowboys are bad (and they are), the Redskins are so bad that every few plays you have to put a mirror under thieir noses to make sure they're still breathing.
What did you say to Souness after the end of the final whistle?
It was one of the best goals I've seen this millenium.
The scoreline didn't really reflect the outcome
The ball must be as slippery as a wet baby.
These two clubs had a monopoly of the domestic honours last season.
He was in the right place at the right time, but he might have been elsewhere on a different afternoon.
Manchester United are substituting Blomqvist for Giggs just to bring more legs into the game.
