Another weekend of football is in the books, and those of us who are football junkies are living the dream!  We have high school football under the Friday night lights, college football all day on Saturdays, and professional games on Thursday, Sundays and Mondays.  And those of you lucky enough to have kids in youth football may even have a game or two on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  Football every day is not too much to ask for, is it?

Those of you nodding your heads in agreement will love this week’s topic, because it’s all about football.  But don’t you non-football fans run away!  The quotes I’m sharing may be from famous football players and coaches, but they are pretty inspiring for any sport, or for many life situations as well.  So stick around!
