-----------------------------------------------------------------

"I just wrap my arms around the whole backfield and peel 'em one by one until I get to the ball carrier. Him I keep."
Big Daddy Lipscomb, former NFL defensive tackle on his tackling technique

"I wouldn't ever set out to hurt anyone deliberately unless it was, you know, important like a league game or something."
Dick Butkus, former Chicago Bears linebacker

"When in doubt, punt!"
John Heisman

"A good back makes his own holes. Anybody can run where the holes are."
Joe Don Looney, running back from Oklahoma, first draft pick by New York Giants in 1963, later traded to Baltimore Colts, giving his reason for missing training camp and his refusal to learn plays.

"What's one more torpedo in a sinking ship."
Lynn Dickey, Packers quarterback's response when asked why he was preparing to play considering he had suffered career injuries including a dislocated hipbone, shattered hip socket, broken fibula, severe tendinitis, plus so many repairs that he couldn't remember them all.

"You're kind of numb after 50 shots to the head."
Jim Harbaugh, played four years with University of Michigan, seven seasons for Chicago Bears before becoming a free agent and going to Indianapolis.

"Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many players on the field"
Jim Boulton

"Football isn't a contact sport, it's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport."
Duffy Daugherty

"I'd catch a punt naked in the snow in Buffalo for a chance to play in the NFL."
Steve Hendrickson

"Most football teams are temperamental. That's 90% temper and 10% mental."
Doug Plank

"Football features two of the worst aspects of American life, violence and committee meetings"
George Will

"Is it just me, or are the 49ers doing an awful lot of ass-patting today?"
Dennis Miller

"Some coaches pray for wisdom. I pray for 260-pound tackles. They'll give me plenty of wisdom."
Chuck Knoll

"Why not call our championship game the Super Bowl?"
Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, who got the idea from his daughter's toy "Super Ball"

"He said if you are going to chase girls, make sure it's a girl."
Packers safety Leroy Butler explaining the guidelines set by Packers coach Mike Holmgren during their week in New Orleans before the Super Bowl

"A football is a brown thing that bounces around on grass, but it would be wrong to call it a puppy."
Steve Martin

"The word "genius" isn't applicable in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."
Joe Theisman, NFL football quarterback and sports analyst
