This is a contact sport. It's always been a contact sport, especially late in the race.
You can't tap somebody in the helmet and say, 'Go be physical.' If you're not physical, you can't play physical, and that's a big part of what we believe in.
We play a contact sport, and it's aggressive, and you have to be aggressive in everything you do.
A crash is part of the game. We've tried to make the cars a lot safer. There's no getting around it though. We're a contact sport.
I'm always a player who has taken fairly rough treatment, to be honest. I think my time in Scotland typified that because I think there was one game where I set a record for being fouled ten or 11 times in a game.
English football is very physical, much more so than Spanish football - I felt it in the first match.
Tackling is my favorite part of the game.
I don't know how many times you see 10s tackle each other.
I don't want to be making tackles.
Politics is a contact sport - a question of accepting an elbow or two.
There's nothing like being on the field, taking on blocks, chasing after fast guys.
Ice hockey is a form of disorderly conduct in which the score is kept.
Football is a reaction sport.
Running for president is a contact sport.
Football is a violent game. We are violent men.
I must say I'm a bit more daunted about changing a nappy than I am making a tackle... unless it's Ngani Laumape or Ben Lam.
I wouldn't recommend [boxing] to any child of mine. I would rather he played golf or something.
When the ball is snapped I want to tackle the other guy, the other team is my enemy.
The NFL, as compared to the NBA, it's so physical and so emotional almost every play.
People think of rugby players as being tough but it's another thing to stand in front of someone and get kicked, punched, taken down. In rugby you have two contact sessions a week and you play a game on the weekend.
This is a fighter sport.
On any play where there's a scramble of 22 men, blindside hits and unprotected hits on knees occur.
It's not like I'm a lineman and no matter what, the game is physical. There's weeks where I get hit a lot and weeks where I don't.
Most of the hits I take come on top of the shoulder pads.
I always say football is very unnatural sport. Nobody loves to just ram into people.
