I have noticed through the years that in football, far more than in other sports, reporters love to ask coaches about their "philosophy," and coaches (always pretending to have one) love to answer.
The exchange always amuses me on the face of it — the idea that the high-minded notion of philosophy, of deep thinking associated with theology or metaphysics, would be applied to X's and O's and a bunch of grunting men trying to advance a football across a grid. Hearing a coach wax philosophical always makes me wonder what Voltaire, Plato or Aristotle — actual philosophers — might have thought listening to Lombardi posit on the importance of running the ball.
