Famous quotes containing the words professional, football and/or player:
“Men seem more bound to the wheel of success than women do. That women are trained to get satisfaction from affiliation rather than achievement has tended to keep them from great achievement. But it has also freed them from unreasonable expectations about the satisfactions that professional achievement brings.”
—Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)
“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 Libertys torch. In football you run over somebodys face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“If God had an agent, the world wouldnt be built yet. Itd only be about Thursday.”
—Jerry Reynolds, Sacramento Kings player personnel director. Quoted in Newsweek (New York, November 25, 1991)
