Default Needing help with a label quote

Currently I'm quilting a Indianapolis Colts quilt for a friends wife. Yep its for HER not him. She loves football, he loves hunting and fishing. Anyway when I was getting the details for making this quilt I asked if he wanted a label. Of course he says "You mean washing intructions?" So I explained to him that homemade quilts often have a label with names of giver and receiver, date, a quote anything you want on the label or nothing at all just the quilt. His response "Put something on there that will help me make a touchdown!" Giggling...I agreed. Well I'm at a loss for what to put on this label. Something that should the grandkids see it .....you know! Yes I said grandkids, they are both in their 50's so the chance of him making a touchdown aren't good anyway....LOL! Any help or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Maybe something about football being a contact sport?

Hey ... I'm in my early 50's and ... well ... "touchdowns" are still appreciated!!

I going to avoid references to "Wide Receivers" and "End Zone" .... although I'm tempted!!

How about ....

"Hubby Completes a Pass" (or his name instead of "hubby")

To [name] from your loving husband [name]
Just want to keep you warm, even when I'm away from you.

Go for the long one.
Always try for extra points.
Spike it!
Time for a huddle.
Whose turn to call the play?
Football is a team sport.

stopping now...

or how about:

Snuggle watching the play,
Even when I'm away.

[a little poetry goes a long way, don't you think?]
