There needs to be somebody that looks out for what's best for the game, not what's best for the Big 10 or what's best for the SEC or what's best for Jim Harbaugh, but what's best for the game of college football - the integrity of the game, the coaches, the players, and the people that play it.

Nick Saban

The smaller the town the more important the ball club was. But if you beat a bigger town they'd practically hand you the key to the city. Any if you lost a game by making an error in the ninth or something like that, well, the best thing to do was just pack your grip and hit the road, because they'd never let you forget it.

Smoky Joe Wood

There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.

George Papandreou

We have to find a way to get the two forms of the game co-existing - and that involves administrators sitting down and banging their heads together and working out a framework. I understand the politics but I'm more interested in what's best for the game.

Andrew Strauss

If everybody in this town connected with politics had to leave town because of chasing women and drinking, you would have no government.

Barry Goldwater

The money game is not like any other game. You cannot choose whether you'll play, for the money game is the only game in town.

Venita VanCaspel

It's still the best game in town because you don't have to be big to play, and everybody plays. Even your grandmother probably played baseball.

Tommy Lasorda

I grew up in the Midwest. I understand a sense of the small-town mentality, small-town social politics.

Karyn Kusama

I really gave up being passionate about politics 10, 15, 20 years ago, because I think finally that there were forces in the country that are larger than politics itself. And so I find it a fascinating game, this wonderful stuff goes on in terms of watching the game. But If you get to down it, look, I`m going to root for someone, I`ll root at a football game, not for politicians.

Norman Mailer

I engage in the use of game theory. Game theory is a branch of mathematics, and that means, sorry, that even in the study of politics, math has come into the picture. We can no longer pretend that we just speculate about politics; we need to look at this in a rigorous way.

Bruce Bueno de Mesquita

Politics is not a game. Thousands of people's jobs and services depended on what the GLC did, and they expected us to do the best we could.

Ken Livingstone

I think Philly is arguably the best sports town - football town - in America.

Ron Jaworski

Politics ain't beanbag: 'tis a man's game, and women, children 'n' pro-hy-bitionists had best stay out of it.

Finley Peter Dunne

I can`t get excited about politics, but I love it as a game. Because what I love in politics - this is very selfish of me, but who cares - what I do love in politics is this ability it has to make you think in new ways.

Norman Mailer

Democracy is the only game in town. The problem is [when] people start to believe that it is not a game worth playing.

Ivan Krastev

Living in a small town you couldn't go anywhere on a Saturday where a store had the game on. If you were downtown you heard the game. If you were at the gas station you heard the game. I remember I would be mowing the lawn and I would stop for the Nebraska game. I would have it cranking outside.

Larry the Cable Guy
