Yeah LBM, it was Roy Rogers who said it, though per Ivas' hint, it would be Dale Evans who coined it.

LBM to provide next phrase (I'll defer ... mainly cause I don't have a new one handy and am trying to think minimally this evening!)

... Or not ...

Resnap (so to speak):

"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that."

Could it be Mike Ditka? I know the taciturn Tom Landry would never be so glib.

Yeah, it was Dale Evans...

Nope, not Ditka ....

This hint might help out a bit. This person passed away a few years before Ditka was born...

and of course, this eliminates Tom Landry as well.

Okay ... another hint before I head off with the Music City Camaro Club to cruise down the Natchez Trace ...

In addition to having passed away 3 years before Mike Ditka was born, the person has one of the most prestigious football awards named after him (guess that eliminates Judy Garland as well!).

Cool!

New quote: "Cry baby scientists..." Hint: it was said in reference to Robert Oppenheimer.

Not at all familiar with the quote, but from the hint, Oppenheimer is probably most famous for his work on the Manhattan Project, developing "the bomb".

My guess would be either FDR or possibly Gen. Leslie Groves (not sure which rank of general he was though)? Am on on track?

You're on track but a bit too early. The scientists regretted the building of the bomb after Roosevelt was deceased. Try again.

wild stab time based on the highlighted part of the hint ... Truman? (would qualify as "a bit later")
