Famous quotes containing the words russian and/or football:

    “From being a patriotic myth, the Russian people have become an awful reality.”
    —Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    “In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)
