What happens is once you start to understand football, you realise that it's not just about the physical side of the game and chasing after a ball. It's a strategic sport which requires a lot of intelligence. It's a very mental game.

Football is, after all, a wonderful way to get rid of your aggressions without going to jail for it.

You learn to understand it, but if you step back, you do think it is either strange or unfair. But I know that if you don't score, play well or win, you are wrong to have a helicopter and fly home each week to see your kids. You are wrong to have a business outside of football.

Football is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.

I deal with football from a realistic, logical point of view.

You have to take care of the ball to win football games.

In football, like in life, you must learn to play within the rules of the game.

Football is a game you're supposed to have fun in.

We try to play football; don't forget it, right. My teams always in my career try to play football. I cannot control the other circumstances.

Football is in a guy's DNA. A primal thing. You should play it so you can talk about the glory days when you get older and drink Bud with the guys from the office. Get it done when you're young, while you have the chance.
