The Football Quote Thread

[Warner2BruceTD]

One quote per post, please.

Here's my all time favorite:

"If you need a yard, i'll give you two. If you need ten yards, i'll give you two."

-Leroy Hoard

[Aso]

"Football is easy if you're crazy as hell."

- Bo Jackson

[St. Francisco]

“You cannot change the stripes of a leopard.” - Emmitt Smith

"At one point, it wasn't even about football anymore. The game was about if we could prove that we had a heart the size of our bodies."

"Kiss the Baby", Esteban OchoCinco

“You bet. We own the Titans. I remember the good old days when I would blow up Eddie George with a big hit. Now, they've got another running back with two first names, Travis Henry, whom I plan on blowing up in the same manner.” - Ray Lewis

[Anthony]

"The Bears are what we thought they were. They're what we thought they were. We played them in preseason. I mean, who the hell takes the third game of the preseason like it's bullshit? Bullshit! We played them in the third game, everybody played three quarters... the Bears are who we thought they were! That’s why we took the damn field! Now, if you want to crown them, then crown their ass! But, they are who we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!" - Dennis Green

"Luck is when hard work meets preparation."
- dunno who originally said it, but I first heard this from Tommy Bowden

[Sportsbuck]

"Football represents and embodies everything that's great about this country, because the United States of America is built on winners, not losers or people who didn't bother to play."
- Woody Hayes

IDK if this qualifies as a quote, but Tashard Choice's speech at 0:20 is one of my favorite CFB moments of all-time:

Best one ever:

I was interviewing George Halas and I asked him who is the greatest running back you ever saw. And he said, 'That would be Red Grange.' And I asked him if Grange was playing today, how many yards do you think he'd gain. And he said, 'About 750, maybe 800 yards.' And I said, 'Well, 800 yards is just okay.' He sat up in his chair and he said, 'Son, you must remember one thing. Red Grange is 75 years old.'
