“I think you underestimate how exhausting it is to think big. You can only hold grand ambitions above your shoulders for so long before you get tired.”
― Jon Bois, 17776: What football will look like in the future

“You ever wonder if this is Heaven now? You ever wonder if we're all just there now and we don't know it?

I've thought about that. All of us have. There's a lot less people who go to church than there used to be, because that's what a lot of people think.


But I don't think so. But I think about it. And I think, well, I can't be. Because I'm like you, I kinda look at the big long life ahead of me that stretches out forever and disappears. And I get scared. And I think, "this can't be Heaven if I'm getting scared, right?"

And then I think, "maybe I am in Heaven, and Heaven is scary.”
― Jon Bois, 17776: What football will look like in the future

“They are creatures of play. They will be creatures of time until the end of time.”
― Jon Bois, 17776: What football will look like in the future

“We must make sport of our keepers. Otherwise, how do we survive the cage?”
