We're in a leadership position in sports. People look up to the National Football League.

Roger Goodell

The Cincinnati Bengals look like the most complete team in the National Football League. I can’t wait to see how they match up against New England.

Sterling Sharpe

And as a football coach in the National Football League, I know for sure that it's going to end someday.

Tony Dungy

There is no sports event like Opening Day of baseball, the sense of beating back the forces of darkness and the National Football League.

George Vecsey

I liked to play against all the teams in the National Football League or the American Football League, because they were always a challenge.

Jim Otto

Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.

Mesut Ozil

When I was younger, I could never have imagined that me at 24 would have already won a league in Portugal, a league in France, a league in England, and playing for the national team.

Bernardo Silva

Playing in the National Football League, you're told, you know, where to be, when to be there, what to wear, how to be there. Being able to step away from that, I have an opportunity to look deeper into myself and look for what's real.

Ricky Williams

Women's football will always be different from men's football, but that doesn't mean you cannot still appreciate it. OK, so it might be a bit slower than the men's game, but then League Two football is slower than the Champions League, and it doesn't stop people turning out to see their local teams.

Millie Bright

I'm a football fan first and foremost, but I've been given an incredible opportunity to be a football coach in the National Football League.

Rex Ryan

Really, I learned a long time ago that in the National Football League, paper doesn't mean anything. Football teams are created on the football field.

Mike McCarthy

These kids are the future of the National Football League. They're the next generation that will be playing high school football, NCAA football, and some even to the pros.

Troy Vincent

Athletes at all ages are bigger and stronger than ever before. And they are being encouraged - sometimes even incentivized, as we recently learned was the case on at least one National Football League team - to play to injure.

Naveen Jain

As the National Football League and other pro sports increasingly reckon with the early dementia, mental health issues, suicides and even criminal behavior of former players, the risk of what's known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), is becoming clear.

Jeffrey Kluger

Affirmative action is a little like the professional football draft. The NFL awards its No. 1 draft choices to the lowest-ranked team in the league. It doesn't do this out of compassion or guilt. It's done for mutual survival. They understand that a league can only be as strong as its weakest team.
