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!

NFL FOOTBALL QUOTES
Bret Favre's Retirement from Retirement
.
Brett Favre spent his first few days of freedom wild boar hunting.
.
Teammate Frank Winters thinks that Favre will have no problem finding things to keep him occupied other than football.
Winters suggests "knocking down trees and stuff" on his tractor.
.
Favre hasn't officially filed his retirement papers yet, but he just thinks that's a formal step, and plans to do it later.
.
When receiver Donald Driver was asked whether or not Favre would come back for a ceremonial coin toss to start the 2008 NFL season, he laughed.
.
"He ain't coming back for no coin toss," Driver laughed. "He's going to be a ghost. That's the thing—he has to get away from the game for a little while."
.
The prospect of a return from retirement, not unlike that of Michael Jordan, is also considered highly unlikely around the Packers camp.
.
"I don't know," Driver said of Favre's future in football. "It'd be hard to say."
.
Green Bay Packers president and chief executive, Mark Murphy, a former safety for the Washington Redskins, said retirement is extremely tough to cope with.
.
"I didn't really miss training camp, didn't really miss the minicamps," Murphy recalled. "But when the games came around in the fall, that's when it really becomes difficult to see your teammates and friends playing. But people have gone through it. And he obviously thought it through. He really knew that it was time for him to step down."
