To Know Defeat A Portfolio Of Football Art.
To Know Defeat from The Portfolio of Football Art, comes mounted and matted.
There is little one can say about what it feels like to lose. Defeat is a personal thing, and in it each man must suffer in his own way.

|
The Handoff from The Portfolio of Football Art.
I have always thought of the pro quarterback as being much like a matador and the big men surrounding him in violent conflict as powerful bulls. Armed with only his courage and a knowledge of all the complexities of a modern pro defense, the quarterback in this drawing hands off to a charging back as he drives hard towards the wall of bone and muscle.

3. |
|
The Pulling Guards from The Portfolio of Football Art.
Here the big strong guards pull out to sweep a path for the violent evasive action of the ball carrier. I’ve been asked many times: “What do guards think about when they pull out of the line to hit somebody?” My answer: “Running through him.” Maybe a better reply can be seen on the faces of the guards here.

|
Two Linemen from The Portfolio of Football Art.
Behind the helmeted bars of pro football’s legendary linemen are men who thrive on physical contact. These men, all of whom have surpassed their growth potential, show a cool disregard for the hand-to-hand battle in the line. They learned early – from the time they began to play – that one need not cringe from contact and that one need fear no one, regardless of size or mouth.

|
The Bomb from The Portfolio of Football Art
There is as much beauty in the game of football as there is sweat and blood. Here is a classic example. The ball is in the air – spinning dust and sweat as it falls in an easy curve towards the receiver…with the quickness of a cat and the form of a ballet dancer, the receiver glides gracefully into the air on his way to pull in the brown leather. The glory is great if he catches it, but if he drops it, the disgrace is absolute.
