I love good writing. So far the best quote I've come across has to go to Nicky Campbell writing about soccer and American football in the Gaurdian newspaper (UK).
"In crude terms, American football never reaches orgasm. A ball going into a net, through a hoop, down a hole, being touched down or blasted out of reach with supreme finality, satisfies a need deep in the primal core. Merely carrying a ball into an area after all that build-up and he-man hullabaloo is a bit, well, flaccid. It's Charles Atlas with erectile dysfunction."
Read the whole article, it's rather funny.
