Turf Quotes:
I enjoy learning about the new technologies. I enjoy getting to know the new fans and dealing with them on their turf.
Lea Thompson
I’ve separated my shoulder and my collarbone; I’ve messed up my knee a million times. I’ve broken my foot in several places. I’ve broken my toe a bunch, broken my nose a couple of times, and had a bunch of other annoying little injuries, like turf toe and arthritis and tendonitis. It’s part of the game.
Ronda Rousey
I respect cats that can rap and everything, but the artist that inspires me is Turf Talk.

Organizational structures that allow divisions and departments to own their turf and people with long tenure to take root creates the same hardened group distinctions as Congressional redistricting to produce homogeneous voting blocs – all of which makes it easier to resist compromise, let alone collaboration.
Rosabeth Moss Kanter
I think it’s absolutely absurd that we’re playing on turf, and it’s really a slap in the face to women’s football by FIFA and just a show of disrespect.
Megan Rapinoe
Maybe you’re not having a thousand times more injuries, but there’s an aspect to the purity of the game and the quality of the game that is played on grass that is different on turf.
Megan Rapinoe
I’ve always been used to playing 60 games – one every three days – and I’ve played on artificial turf. There is artificial turf in Europe as well in some places. There is heat as well. And if it’s hot for me at 110 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s hot for the others as well.
Andrea Pirlo
When I step into the ring with someone, this has got to be their vacation spot, but my home turf. So I go the opposite side seven rounds doing the same thing. Skipping, skipping, skipping. Then I go seven rounds going both ways. Skip to the left, skip to the right.
George Foreman
When I play on grass, my body doesn’t ache. It can get sore, but it doesn’t pulse, and my legs don’t ache. When I play on turf, my legs can pulse and ache for up to 24 hours, and it could take 3-5 days to recover, whereas grass, after 24 hours, I’m ready to play again.
Alex Morgan

From my perception, listen: the game is different on turf, but it’s the same for everybody.
Jill Ellis
I think that what we do out on the field is oftentimes a little bit better than what men do. I don’t think that we flop around as much. I think we’re tough. I mean, I’ve got battle wounds on my legs from the turf and sliding. And we’re gritty. And we’re feisty. And I think that I would never back down from a guy.
Carli Lloyd

Sandeep Singh
I remember the first time I played on a synthetic turf field. I thought, ‘Wow, this is amazing. What is this stuff?’ It seemed so much better than that concrete-like Astro Turf that was essentially just a green, thin carpet over hard ground.
Julie Foudy
I developed my training routine going into my senior year at Jackson State. I found this sandbank by the Pearl River near my hometown, Columbia, Miss. I laid out a course of 65 yards or so. Sixty-five yards on sand is like 120 on turf, but running on sand helps you make your cuts at full speed.
Walter Payton
The beauty of Test cricket is all about playing an opponent in their backyard or defending home turf under challenging conditions over five days – dominating each session, dominating each day, picking 20 wickets to win a contest. That’s historically been cricket’s most fascinating gift.

I’m into people’s emotional lives and relationships and the complications of living. That’s my turf.

George Vecsey
What I learned is that there are indeed some stories that are too true to tell, too revealing for the general population to metabolize. And too challenging to your reporter colleagues, whose turf or toes you might have tread upon.
Peter Landesman
