Some pearls of wisdom from the great Vince Lombardi:


"Gentleman, this is a football."

"If you can't accept losing, you can't win."

"Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing."

"All right Mister, let me tell you what winning means you're willing to go longer, work harder, give more than anyone else."

"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur."

"Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work."

"If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?"

"Football is like life, it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority."

"We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time."

Vince, a true great

And now for this gem .......

The reason women don't play football is because eleven of them would never wear the same outfit in public.

Phyllis Diller

I love that one!!

I love the one about keeping score. Too many times in sports(especially pro) you hear announcers try to talk about moral victories. I'm sorry, but unless it's high school and the team is truly undersized or has some kind of physical problem it's not about coming close. You either won or you lost, and in 10 years all anyone will remember is the score.

Can't remember the score of many SB's. Not Rams-Titans, not any of the patriots besides the last 17-14 loss.

Oh, you mean that 23-16 Rams win?

But yeah, good point. Maybe what I should have said was you don't remember how the teams played, you just remember who won.

Hey, not everyone's mind holds useless facts like mine does. I know that.

As for why it seems like I'm always picking on you, I only do it to those that I know can take it and dish it back. And people that I like. Which one you fit in, I'm not completely sure yet.

Hey, do you think anybody will eve need 5 QB's in a season? Oh, wait. Do you think a team will ever manage to lose a game by two after their QB runs 3 feet out of the endzone, ending with a FG to put the other team up? Oh, wait.
And do you think a team will ever match the winless buccaneers. Oh, wait.
And will draft WR's for no apparent reason... Oh, c'mon.

Haha the Lions really do suck. I knew they were bad, but wow. Never realized it was THAT bad.

Worst part is, as long as the Fords own the team, it won't get better.
