They Said It

? George Sauer, player personnel director for the New York Jets, on the large number of huge football players: "A few years back parents of a 6-foot-6 boy would hide him in the closet; now they send him out to play football and he becomes a millionaire his second season as a pro."

?Ray Walston, television actor, after Visiting Houston's Astrodome: "It shows what you can get if you really look through the Neiman-Marcus catalog."

? Dave Nelson, Delaware football coach and a critic of two-platoon football: "We've got to live with it, but the ball is actually in play for only 12 minutes the way the game is run today. This means a boy who goes one way sees six minutes of live action."
