Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, there is no reason either in football or in poetry why the two should not meet in a man's life if he has the weight and cares about the words.
Archibald MacLeish

George Plimpton
Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up
Knute Rockne

Taylor Swift
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
Jim Bouton
