Quite honestly I never had a desire to be an actor. I tell people I did not choose acting acting chose me. I never grew up wanting to be an actor. I wanted to play football. In about 9th grade an English teacher told me I had a talent to act. He said I should audition for a performing arts high school so I did on a whim. I got accepted.

You know a football coach is nothing more than a teacher. You teach them the same subject and you have a group of new guys every year.

Four years of football are calculated to breed in the average man more of the ingredients of success in life than almost any academic course he takes.

I'm not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones those that achieve success and those that don't.

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

I have always been an outstanding football player I have always had uncanny abilities great arm strength an immense ability to play the game from a quarterback standpoint. The problem was that I wasn't given the liberty to do certain things when I was young.

I used to play football for Real Madrid and to be on stage for two hours I can tell you it takes the same amount of strength.

Darts players are probably a lot fitter than most footballers in overall body strength.

I used to play football at school and I enjoyed really physical sports but I now try to avoid any sports that might build up different muscles. That might have a negative impact on my archery.

My four older brothers were my favorite players. That's why I got into football and sports.

One reason outfielders don't have stronger arms might be they don't practice as much as we did. Most teams today don't take outfield practice. Another reason is baseball has to compete with other sports now - basketball football soccer - for the better athletes that might have more skills and stronger arms.

Monday Night Football started in 1970 and when it started it was something extremely special because sports had not been aired in prime time. So it was a novelty and a lot of people thought it wouldn't work and of course it worked spectacularly well.

I think we have our sports within our own culture that are huge with baseball football basketball and hockey. Those are the sports in America that we grow up with and soccer isn't really there yet.

I also developed an interest in sports and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football baseball basketball and occasionally ice hockey.

I grew up playing sports football basketball baseball everything and acting was such a different environment and different world for me.

In America we have three major sports - baseball football and basketball. They get the most coverage. Then there's things like golf which mop up most of what is left. But track and field? We are way at the bottom of the totem pole.

If I stayed a football player my career would have been over 20 years ago. As it is my knees are shot. I found I got the same good feeling in acting that I had in sports but I found I could have a more profound impact on people.

Football basketball and the Olympic sports all have their problems with banned substances.

I think professional sports football to use it as an example it's fundamentally a form of entertainment.

I also watched a lot of football and sports. I haven't had much time to watch too much TV lately.

I'm a sports guy. Football God I flip out.

I started my cooking 'career' aged 15 almost 20 years ago. At the time it was quite a shock suddenly working 75 to 80 hours a week without time to play football or other sports.

I'm a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.

We should confine booing in sports arenas to sport. I love a good boo as much as the next football fan.
