Life is great; football is better. Steve Sabol.

Tell me a fact, and I'll learn. Tell me a truth, and I'll believe. But tell me a story, and it will live in my heart forever.

Life is great, football is better.

Life is good. Football is better.

My father always used to say ‘treat everyone as a gentleman; not because they are, but because you are.’

But I can tell you this: Nothing will happen up there that can duplicate my life down here. That life cannot be better than the one I've lived down here, the football life. It's been perfect.

Treat everyone like a gentleman, not because they are, but because you are.

You can't soar like an eagle and crap like a canary.

I've always believed in making films that you make the little decisions with your head, but you make the big decisions with your heart.

I’m not sure this is what we bargained for, boy. We expected the girl to be attractive.”If I hadn’t been so terrified, I would have been insulted.

Within the hearts men, loyalty and consideration are esteemed greater than success.

If there is anything which it is the duty of the whole people to never entrust to any hands but their own, that thing is the preservation and perpetuity of their own liberties and institutions.

There was celebration and happiness, hugs and kisses.

If you listen to dogs barking you will go deaf without learning anything.

If you're doing a column, you kind of have to. Like in the back of Sports Illustrated, Rick Reilly has to find something to be mad about. It's not really the way I approach things.

I can train a monkey to wave an American flag. That does not make the monkey patriotic.

Life is short. You die before you think you're going to. Don't waste it in college unless you're doing something real. My view.
