I saw this quote somewhere else and thought it was good. I'm not American or into sport here in my own country, let alone in other countries, so didn't realise who I was quoting.

I have always loved this quote ... I like the thought of words taking on their own energy.
Sometimes I feel they do, and that is when they truly can engage an audience ... or assault the unthinking.
Words ought to be a little wild for they are the assaults of thought on the unthinking.
John Maynard Keynes
