Famous quotes containing the words american and/or football:

    “What we do is as American as lynch mobs. America has always been a complex place.”
    —Jerry Garcia (1942–1995)

    “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)
