Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces. (Quote by - Anne Morrow Lindbergh)
I don't like to lose, and that isn't so much because it is just a football game, but because defeat means the failure to reach your objective. I don't want a football player who doesn't take defeat to heart, who laughs it off with the thought, 'Oh, well, there's another Saturday.' The trouble in American life today, in business as well as in sports, is that too many people are afraid of competition. The result is that in some circles people have come to sneer at success if it costs hard work and training and sacrifice. (Quote by - Knute Kenneth Rockne)
Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women it is merely a good excuse not to play football. (Quote by - Fran Lebowitz)

I feel that the progress I have made as a coach, as well as a person, is a direct result of the growth that I have made through my Church callings. I had the opportunity to serve as a bishop in a campus ward while I was still an assistant coach. When I was appointed head football coach in 1972, I decided to approach my role as a coach much the same as I did as a bishop, delegating responsibility to my assistants, putting responsibility on the players for self-improvement in all aspects of their lives, and using personal interviews with players to try to give positive reinforcement and encouragement so that they might do their very best and reach their full potential, both on and off the field. (Quote by - LaVell Edwards)
Pro football is like nuclear warfare. there are no winners, only survivors. (Quote by - Frank Gifford)
Coming out of BYU's football spring, 1999, practice: We might have a chance to be pretty good. (Quote by - LaVell Edwards)
