National Football

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or football:

“The progress
Is permanent like the preordained bulk
Of the First National Bank
Like fish sauce, but agreeable.”

“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)
