Where can i find something like this for football?

BASEBALL PLAYERS are the ********, dirtiest, most irresponsible group of athletes in the world. They'll do anything and come back to tell their teammates about it. Live the dream until they are 35 then realize they never made it. Ladies love us, guys want to be us, we are the soul of the universe. You lace up the cleats, put on the uniforms, grab the bat, and walk on to the field and nothing else matters. It doesn't matter that you failed a test, your girl is being a *****, or that you got a ticket on the way to the field...Your world is absolutely perfect for the next 4 hours: Here's to hits, runs, put-outs, ists, extra innings, livin' on the road, cold nights, hot days, rainy games, rain delays, late nights, fans, goin' yard, countless hours of practice, helmets, gloves, sell out games, great pitchers, new bats, new gloves, pearly white , coaches, the word "****", bench clearing fights, let downs, miracles, and most of all- The Game... Baseball… Why? Why do we hit and throw night after night? Hitting so long our hands bleed. And then keep hitting. Late nights, long days, everyday for 186 days with 23 days off. Raspberries, rashes, torn muscles, deep bruises; We play through it all. Because we live off our love for the game. Because the game frees your spirit. Because the party in the locker room after a big win. Because your invincible once you step on the field. Because one hit can make you smile all night. The smell of the gr, the sound of a ball hitting a bat, the amazement of a spectacular play, the little kids looking up to you as their hero. And all you did was sign a baseball. Why? Because it is possible to play hard enough to leave all your worries behind. Sweat is the cologne of our accomplishment. Why? Why would someone push themselves so hard? It's not for the money, it's not for the girls, and it's not for the fame. We do it because we love it, we do it because we love Baseball!
