Sport Quotes Just For Laughs
D. S. Mitchell
Official Play Day
I am officially declaring, today a play day here at the office. It’s great sometimes, being the boss, even if it’s only me, and Rocky. Rocky, my stalwart partner in crime is a blue and white Budgie. I have been trying to teach him to talk. So far he has mounted a full campaign of resistance. Thinking about political theory, political science, political reality, political bullshit, is about as frustrating as trying to teach my budgie to talk. So I have decided there will be no political discussion, today. There will be no analysis, there will be no relevant comment, other than what a few athletes have had to say over the years about some weird shit. So, here goes. . .
He Said What?
Mike Tyson: Responding to a question about his retirement plans: “Fade into Bolivian, I guess.”
Joe Theismann: “The term genius is inapplicable to anyone in this game. A genius is Norman Einstein.”
Pedro Guerrero: About his relationship with the press, “Sometimes they write what I say, not what I mean.”
Chuck Nevitt: On why he appeared nervous: “My sister is having a baby, and I don’t know if I’m going to be an aunt or an uncle.”
Yogi Berra: “It gets late early out here.”
George Foreman: “There’s more to boxing than hitting. There’s not getting hit, for instance.”
George Roberts: “I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first.”
Tug McGraw: “Always root for the winner. That way you won’t be disappointed.”
Don King: He (Chavez) speaks English, Spanish, and he’s bilingual.”
Dizzy Dean: The doctor X-rayed my head and found nothing.
Bill Cowher: On whether the Steelers bent NFL regulations: “We’re not attempting to circumcise the rules.”
David Thompson: “Ball handling and dribbling are my strongest weaknesses.”
Dizzy Dean: after a 1-0 game, “The game was closer than the score indicated.”
Michael Jordan: “I never lost a game, I just ran out of time.”
