On Thanksgiving we do just everything except give thanks. We eat, we watch football, we have a good time with family. Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.
All good athletes make mistakes; the great ones learn to make that mistake only once.
I'm just enjoying the ride. I'm just contributing what I can.
In real football, I wouldn't want Terrell Owens anywhere near my team. But you're nuts if you don't take him in fantasy.
One thing I don't understand is that average American movie-goers cannot watch a movie for three hours, yet they'll watch a stupid, boring, horrific football game for four hours. Now, that is boredom at its most colossal.
Amongst all unimportant subjects, football is by far the most important.
I consider myself a leader of this football team, along with a lot of other guys.
Both sides have scored a couple of goals, and both sides have conceded a couple of goals.
America pays its bills. It always has. It always will. The fact that Washington is now debating whether to honor its debts and obligations, then, should come as a surprise. But playing political football with a necessary vote to raise the nation's debt ceiling has become as predictable as a Twitter rant from Charlie Sheen.
Football's all about yesterday, it's all about now
They could've thrown a kitchen sink into the box and one of the guys would've headed it.
I am going to continue and bring this club forward. I am Paul Gascoigne the footballer.
I always tell Cristiano before training, 'If you do stepovers on me, I will break your legs and rip up your shirt.' I have no wish to have the mickey taken out of me all week.
Only if we realise how sh*t we were at Blackburn can we improve.
I think I'm pretty misunderstood, because I'm not just about football.
My idea of a perfect holiday is spending time with the family, waking up on Christmas morning or Thanksgiving morning, watching football all day, having the family come over, people you haven't seen...
All that remains is for a few dots and commas to be crossed.
Chess isn't football or hockey.
Listen to what I tell you and do it. If you do, three things can happen: One, it will work and you'll get credit. Two, it won't work and I'll get the blame. Three, you'll do it wrong and you'll be gone.
A football team represents a way of being, a culture.
You made it something special. Most of all, I want to thank the fans for your support not through the great times that we shared on the football field, but for the last 17 years of my life. You have supported me through all times.
When two peoples share a common passion: they are capable of empathising with each other's misery.
I've not had to ask permission from Geraldine to take the job. I'm one of the few men in this life who are not under the thumb. I'm stronger than that. Did she want me out of the house? Listen, she's wanted me out of the house for the past 27 years and has often asked me not to come back again. But I always show up, and really, she can't do without me, because I'm brilliant.
I'm not a big power-and-strength guy, but I have a lot of balance, and I can take hits and stay on my feet. I control myself real good, shift my weight, and run real low. I do things that people haven't seen some of the running backs in the league do.
But Barry, to me, is head and shoulders above everybody.
