Quote of the Day

"When I played pro football, I never set out to hurt anyone deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something."
                                                                                                                         -Dick Butkus

Butkus is tied for #2 in career kills with Ray Lewis.  The pair trails only O.J. Simpson for #1 all-time.

Quote of the Day

"If you're mad at your kid, you can either raise him to be a nose tackle or send him out to play on the freeway. It's about the same."
                                                                                                                               -Bob Golic

Bob Golic: completely cool with both child labor and infanticide.

Quote of the Day

Football doesn't build character, it reveals character!
                                                        -Marv Levy

Why Marv would choose this as his pre-game battle cry for a team that lost 4 consecutive Superbowls, no one quite understood.

Quote of the Day

The pride and presence of a professional football team is far more important than 30 libraries.
                                                                                                                     -Art Modell

Modell's response when asked why the United States would continue to dominate world politics despite US educational standards falling light years behind China and about a dozen other countries.  

That's My Quarterback!

Welcome back, Lunatics.  Today we unveil a new feature here at Football Ranters, entitled "That's My Quarterback."  I'll put the 2011 stats up for an NFL QB and you see if you can guess who it is.  Pretty simple right?  Nothing fancy, no bells and whistles, just straight fire coming from the geniuses here at Football Ranters.  Feel free to thank us by sending cash/jewels/younger virgin sisters (18 or older only please, Mark Sanchez is not a member of our staff).

2011 Season Stats: 61.8% completion percentage, 3970 yards, 26TDs, 20INTs, 82.4QB rating.

Is this your Quarterback?  Find out after the jump.

Quote of the Day

Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up.
                                                                                                     -Knute Rockne

This man said this when these guys still wore leather hats as helmets.  The smartest people on the planet, they were not.  But they had balls of solid titanium haha...but seriously, concussions are bad.
