I think professional sports football to use it as an example it's fundamentally a form of entertainment.

I played professional level sports. When you're playing for money it's a whole other level.

At ten I was playing against 18-year-old guys. At 15 I was playing professional ball with the Birmingham Black Barons so I really came very quickly in all sports.

It's not just the NFL. Every other league has a draft. It has been fundamental to the success of professional sports.

I have zero interest in sports of any kind - professional college or international.

There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.

I was showing early symptoms of becoming a professional baseball man. I was lying to the press.

I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.

We need to tap the resource of current and retiring science and math professionals that have both content mastery and the practical experience to serve as effective teachers.

I'm an amateur science enthusiast. I'm not even a professional enthusiast. I don't know anything I never even passed biology in high school. But I read the science section of the newspaper.
