Jonathan Wilson, Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics

Simone Elkeles
“She's a Texan, born and raised. Football is in our blood.”
Simone Elkeles, Wild Cards

Nick Hornby
“I have learned things from the game. Much of my knowledge of locations in Britain and Europe comes not from school, but from away games or the sports pages, and hooliganism has given me both a taste for sociology and a degree of fieldwork experience. I have learned the value of investing time and emotion in things I cannot control, and of belonging to a community whose aspirations I share completely and uncritically.”
Nick Hornby, Fever Pitch

Nick Hornby
“My companions for the afternoon were affable, welcoming middle-aged men in their late thirties and early forties who simply had no conception of the import of the afternoon for the rest of us. To them it was an afternoon out, a fun thing to do on a Saturday afternoon; if I were to meet them again, they would, I think, be unable to recall the score that afternoon, or the scorer (at half-time they talked office politics), and in a way I envied them their indifference. Perhaps there is an argument that says Cup Final tickets are wasted on the fans, in the way that youth is wasted on the young; these men, who knew just enough about football to get them through the afternoon, actively enjoyed the occasion, its drama and its noise and its momentum, whereas I hated every minute of it, as I hated every Cup Final involving Arsenal.”
Nick Hornby, Fever Pitch

Barry Sanders
“The reason of football is not to be the best but to be the best team”
barry sanders

Joe Queenan
“A friend tells a story about taking his ten-year-old son to a Jets game. The game was being played during a driving rain on a freezing cold day, and the Jets lost by twenty points to a team they were supposed to beat. As they headed toward the exits, the boy looked up, with tears in his eyes, and asked, 'Dad, why are we Jets fans?”
Joe Queenan, True Believers: The Tragic Inner Life of Sports Fans

“Who you looking for

you can prob'ly find him
at the football game
it's a small town
you know what I mean
it's a small town, son
and we all support the team”
James McMurtry

Vaughn R. Demont
“He looks at me, the circle, then me again. “It’s really you, right? I didn’t create some simulacrum that was inhabited by a demon? Prove it’s you. Say something only Spencer would say.â€�
“Like what?�
“Say something annoying.�
I think about it. “Well, you claim to be British, there’s really only one thing I can think of.�
“That being?�
I lean in close, my lips gently brushing his ear. “Soccer.�
He shoves me away. “Fuck. You. It’s footâ€� Yeah, it’s you.”
Vaughn R. Demont, Community Service

“I remember asking my friend. . .for tips and her best one was: When watching football with your man, just look up once in awhile and ask, Now who did he used to play for?' He'll talk for at least fifteen minutes, you'll seem like you care, and then you can go back to your In Style or whatever.”
Melissa Joan Hart, Melissa Explains It All: Tales from My Abnormally Normal Life

“The blame game is already a lost game, so don't attempt dressing up to play it! Blames create no change; winners don't apportion blames!”
Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“I was so raw I didn't know about the Lambeau Leap-a Packer player celebrates catching a touchdown by leaping into the stands. It was started by Leroy Butler years before and has been copied by players all over the league. Don't be fooled, though. The only legitimate Lambeau Leap is celebrated by a Packer at Lambeau Field.”
Donald Driver, Driven: From Homeless to Hero, My Journeys On and Off Lambeau Field

“In my final years in Green Bay, when I wasn't getting the ball, people would ask me why I never complained.
'Because these guys are my family,' I would say. 'I'm not selfish. It's not about me. It's about these guys, my family, and winning championships together.”
Donald Driver, Driven: From Homeless to Hero, My Journeys On and Off Lambeau Field

“But how a game plan came to be, what a finished plan looked like, I had no idea. I’d heard that all copies were shredded as soon as the game was over.”
Nicholas Dawidoff, Collision Low Crossers: A Year Inside the Turbulent World of NFL Football

Jay  Nichols
“Gareth Miller grabbed the beer first, then the hotdog, because if there’s one thing you don’t want to be caught dead without at these sorts of events it’s beer. The hotdog was strictly for show, a prop, a way of blending in.

Burst of static in his right ear: “G-man, you read me? What’s yo� twenty, dawg?�

Gareth departed the concession stand, stopped, looked down at his hands, and tossed the hotdog into the first trash receptacle he saw. Raising his wrist to his mouth, he spoke into the cuff of his long-sleeved tee. “Concession stand, Section B. Over.�

Allowing his hand to linger by his chin, he gingerly scratched his cheek as if he had meant to do it all along.

The same voice: “Yo, I’m in position. Ready when you is.�

Gareth cringed while crossing the wide concourse, checking both directions. The giant hallway was the main drag of a ghost town, its only residents a solitary custodian sweeping debris into a portable waste bin and the concession crew to his rear.”
Jay Nichols, Uprising

“OMG Danita, it’s hopeless out here,â€� I moaned while we sat watching her son’s football game. I did not want to laugh, but he looked so cute struggling to run up the field bearing his weight in equipment. As he worked on his Heisman’s highlight reel, the
cheerleaders, including his sister Nia, shook their pom-poms as if casting
out demons.”
LaToya Hankins, SBF Seeking

“If you see adversity arriving at your game field, time to put on your pads and let see how well you can tackle adversity.”
Kevin Abromitis
