A Quote by George Blanda

I always considered myself a student of the game of football. — © George Blanda
I always considered myself a student of the game of football.
I've never really considered myself a wrestler. I always considered myself an entertainer, but I always wanted to be better than the guy next to me.
I've always considered myself a feminist, I always considered myself somebody who is a reproductive rights activist, and I've spent the past 25 years of my life speaking truth to power. And using humor to do that.
I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan.
I'm a student of the game and a fan of football so I enjoy watching other centre-forwards.
Oftentimes, even myself as I've come through my entire career from high school all the way up here, everything has been football, football, football. And then you realize that life is much bigger than this game, especially when you start thinking about life after football and what you want to leave behind.
Football is always going to be a means to an end. The physicality of the game - your body can't hold up. There's life after football, and I do worry. I don't want to put myself in jeopardy. I probably need to be more cautious, but this is me. It still isn't going to change the way I play.
If you were ever to interview me after a football game or at a football game or around me during football season is totally different than when you catch me away from football.
I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.
There are several differences between a footballl game and a revolution. For one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. Also there are more injuries at a football game.
I've always tried to be a complete athlete and not limit myself to one position or one sport. It really helped mold my whole football game.
For me, playing the game of football, obviously there's a lot of emotions going on. But I always like to keep calm and just be myself.
There are several differences between a football game and a revolution. For one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. Also, there are usually more casualties in a football game. The object of the game is to move a ball past the other team's goal line. This counts as six points. No points are given for lacerations, contusions, or abrasions, but then no points are deducted, either. Kicking is very important in football. In fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally.
All I care about is football and make myself available and sometimes you know, football is a violent game and it's very unforgiving. Stuff happens and you just got to kind of deal with it.
Football used to be my god but no longer is. I still love it, I'm still aggressive, I still want to be very successful at it, I want to win a lot of football games. And my job is to be the best football player in the world, because it affords me a life; it pays, it's my job, and so it hasn't dulled my senses for the game or the love or the great excitement I get from the game. It's just that I'm very much at peace with myself because of my faith.
Giannis is truly a student of the game. He listens to the coaches, they show him film, and he's always in the gym working on his game and trying to find ways to get better.
When I look back at football, I've always said to myself, 'I'd rather leave the game and have something in my tank rather than have left all of me out on the field.'
