Ignoring facts does not make them go away.

That's how I judge a quarterback: Either you make plays or you don't. I don't even want to talk about mechanics.

The pro athlete is a sad tale. He signs a big contract and thinks he's set for life. I didn't think I was set for life, and I don't now. As athletes, we are important, celebrities, in demand and rich. Then we are out of the game and we are not important, not celebrities, not in demand and not rich.

You know, quarterbacks, I think greatness in quarterbacks is taking what you've got, whether it's a great team, a good team, or a struggling team and make them better.

From Fran Tarkenton

If football taught me anything about business, it is that you win the game one play at a time.

You can only learn by opening yourself up to engage with different sources of information. How can you learn something if you never see it, read it, or hear it?
