No quarterback goes out there and plays well on his own.
People stress the violence. That's the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there's a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There's a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies strewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there's a satisfaction to the game that can't be duplicated. There's a harmony.
It always amazes me that spectators want to coach, coaches want to officiate, and officials just want to watch the game
Unfortunately, sometimes the fans forget who puts the money and passion into the club. It's funny, but when you win, it's the coach and the players who are responsible, but when you lose, it's the owner's fault; but that's football.

I don't know about bullying and all of that stuff. That doesn't work in basketball.
The thing most people don't understand is that pitching isn't the same every time out.
If there are dominant teams, people enjoy discussing whether that's good or bad for the game, and if there aren't any dominant teams, then people enjoy discussing that.
Tennis is a running game, not a hitting game - it's not golf.
