SPECIAL EDITORIAL NOTE FROM SPORTS_NUT, 2/26/2011
.
Welcome to the retirement edition of Funny Sports Quotes.
.
The Funny Sports Quotes blog was created in 11/2007 after I could see I could become a blogger very easily using Google's 3-step process for creating a blog online.
.
For me, like most, work is not my idea of a fun experience, so I had to choose the topic that I would most enjoy pursuing and that, for me, was finding and posting funny sports quotes for entertaining and, in some cases, educating an audience on facets of sports even the most ardent sports fans may not have been aware of.
.
At the same time, I decided to compile a database of funny sports quotes that sports fans and quote fans could visit for "one-stop" shopping, thereby helping them to avoid the need to search elsewhere for sports quotes.
.
So, from 11/2007 until 2/2011. I have compiled quotes on the Funny Sports Quotes blog and its sister blog, FSQuotes, that is accessible only from the Funny Sports Quotes blog.
.
As of 2/26/2011, I believe I have achieved my objective first set in 11/2007, which signals for me the end of my funny sports quotes database project.
.
Kindly note that I have already made the last post (SI Swimsuit) to the blog, shut off further entries to Comments, and I will shut off the email address sports.quotes@gmail.com on 03/14/2011.
.
Also note that many features previously cited on this page have been removed, so that a bare-bones FSQ remains for your future reference.
.
I do hope that my venture was successful in bringing a smile to your face or a skip to your step, since that was all FSQ was created for, your entertainment and pleasure.
.
In closing, I wish you and yours, Godspeed!

FUNNY SPORTS QUOTES \ Source: eskimo.com

BASKETBALL QUOTES
Pat Riley, well know for his attempts to motivate his team, once while
with the Lakers tried to to throw a chair, only to find that it weighed
more than he thought and he was only able to move it a few feet. Kurt
Rambis: "That might have motivated me after I was done laughing."

Agent Keith Glass on how the new collective bargaining agreement will
affect agents: "We're like rats; we adapt."

Nick Van Exel (LAL) on defending the Stockton-Malone pick-and-roll: "Yeah,
I got a way to defend it. Bring a bat to the game and kill one of them."

Ref Joey Crawford calling a foul on Stokjo Vrankovic (LAC): "Loose ball
foul on whatever the hell his name is."

Erick Strickland (Dal) when asked how things were going with the Mavs:
"Like we've just finished five rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson."

Brian Williams (Det) on Isiah Thomas: "Light travels faster than sound, so
some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak."

2/18 Sam Cassell on a 114-104 New Jersey loss to Atlanta: "We really
didn't deserve to win. They didn't either. It should have been a tie."

1/20 Utah PA announcer Dan Roberts: "Not dressed tonight due to pregnancy
is Adam Keefe." Keefe's wife gave birth to twins.

Toronto (4-26) coach Darrell Walker's New Year's resolution: "Not to kill
myself."

Detroit assistant coach Alvin Gentry wanted to see if any of his players
actually read his pregame chalkboard, so he wrote "First one to trainer's
room, $100," and waited. It took 11 minutes before rookie Scot Pollard
approached him for the money.

Reggie Miller (Ind) on his game winning shot vs Phoenix: "It was so
quiet you could hear a rat pee on cotton."

Michael Finley (Dal) on the Mavs' lost to the Lakers: "Some nights
you're the Louisville Slugger and some nights you're the ball. Tonight,
we were definitely the ball. We got hit, and we got hit hard."

Larry Johnson (NY) after New York's season opening win against Charlotte
October 31: "I think this is the best game we played all year."

Avery Johnson (SA) on NBA ref Violet Palmer: "Nobody in their right
mind is going to say anything to her because you know the NBA will fine
you." When someone noted that Charles Barkley had already made disparaging
remarks about the female refs, Johnson responded, "I said nobody in their
right mind."
