Really Dumb Sport Quotes
D. S. Mitchell
“Layed Back Tuesday”
It’s another play-day at Calamity Politics. No surprise, says the reader. I am officially declaring, ‘Layed Back Tuesday’. 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 say, “Hello, Mama,” but to no avail. Thinking about political theory, political science, political reality, political bullshit, is about as frustrating as trying to teach the bird 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. . .
Just for laughs.
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.”
