Football's Funniest Quotes
Friday May 23, 2008
Let's face it. Whether the stereotype is fair or not, football players aren't highly regarded for their intelligence (not to say there aren't a lot of smart guys playing the game).

In honor of these blunderers, About Football has put together a collection of the more comical quips to escape the lips of college and pro football players, as well as coaches and announcers alike over the years. Read more...

Man, I get tired of the constant put downs directed toward football players by you media types. You write as if you have nothing to do with the creation of the public perception of football players!
It has been my privilege to watch the NFL up close for 14 years (and I personally coached football for 31 years) and let me tell you, I have met far more intelligent football players in my lifetime than I have met intelligent sports writers!
Every once in a while, I would like to see one or two of you tell the whole story for a change. Report on some the amazing stories of the incredible accomplishments of the players that you so often degrade with your sweeping putdowns.
Sincerely,

Great quotes!!! Especially the Bobby Hoying one. Couldn’t be more appropriate coming from an Ohio State player. Go Blue from Cincinnati!!!!!
Here’s a pretty funny quote ;-p j/k
[b]Let me preface the following comments by saying I love the future prospects of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. I think he is a tremendous talent and will do special things in this league, assuming he stays healthy. But please, can we stop with the best-back-in-the-league talk for a game or two?[/b]
