Message: [QUOTE="Toga, post: 436574, member: 365"] JFK in addressing the NFL Foundation Hall of Fame Banquet - 12/5/61. I want to express my thanks to you for this award. Politics is an astonishing profession-it has permitted me to go from being an obscure lieutenant serving under General MacArthur to Commander in Chief in 14 years, without any technical competence whatsoever; and it's also enabled me to go from being an obscure member of the junior varsity at Harvard to being an honorary member of the Football Hall of Fame. [B]Actually, there are not so many differences between politics and football. Some Republicans have been unkind enough to suggest that my election, which was somewhat close, was somewhat similar to the Notre[/B] [B]Dame-Syracuse game. But I'm like Notre Dame, we just take it as it comes and we're not giving it back.[/B] [/QUOTE]
