Football is such a great game, but football players are so dull.

The great thing about football is that it's a game that involves so many people.

Brazil versus Argentina is always a great game, with great football and scoring chances.

Football is a game of opinions, and some people have a great opinion of me, and some people probably think I'm absolutely useless.

I have a lot of great friends in football. The game was great to me. And I've been able to do other things in television and enjoy that, meeting those people.

Pep is a great manager who sees football in another way. He lives football and breathes football. The way he thinks about the game is completely different to other managers.

I think with my generation, your first game of senior football was often a Sunday League game of football. Sometimes you're playing on pitches that aren't great, you've no referee, you've no goal nets.

I think there's a lot of different ways to score points and win football games and be efficient offensively, just like there is on defense and special teams. That's what makes this great game so special.

I experienced great professionalism in Dutch football. I don't want to give a stereotypical view of them, but they are needy in terms of wanting to know exactly what the game plan is, what their role is, that information.

My uncle played rugby, and my dad played football, and they used to argue which game was the roughest - and everybody agreed rugby was. It's a great team sport, and to be successful, every person has to play in the same level.

I think flag football is a great alternative, and it's a great game in its own right. It's a wonderful alternative. You can develop all of the skills and athleticism and glean the lessons you can from contact football through playing flag.

Football teams represent cities and colleges and schools. The people have built great stadiums, and the game is culturally intertwined with our calendar. We don't go back to college for the college. We go back for a football game, and, yes, we even call that 'homecoming.'

I don't remember Bill Walsh being old. I remember young Bill Walsh. He wasn't gray-haired, and neither was I when we first met. His legacy will live on. Bill Walsh's name and his accomplishments will be remembered and revered so long as the great game of football is played.

I've seen the growth of this game in this country, the stadiums that were built, the great European players that have come and the great American players who've been created. Americans want to be number one at everything. And they are at baseball, football, basketball. Soccer is growing fast, and I want to be a part of that.
