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!

Kevin Keegan quotes and football 'wisdom'
By Steve Anglesey, Mirror.co.uk 2/09/2008
.
Kevin Keegan's return to football in January was warmly welcomed, not least on Tyneside where he was hailed as a returning hero.
.
And while we looked forward to some spectacular attacking football harking back to his 90s team, we were also excited to hear more from the man who has provided plenty of daft quotes over the years...
.
"In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg."
.
"You get bunches of players like you do bananas...though that is a bad comparison."
.

.
"Gary always weighed up his options, especially when he had no choice."
.
"The tide is very much in our court now."
.
"The Germans only have one player under 22, and he's 23."
.
"You don't get two chances at this level, or at any other level for that matter."

"It's understandable that people are keeping one eye on the pot and another up the chimney."
.
"England can end the millennium as it started - as the greatest football nation in the world."
.
"I know what is around the corner - I just don't know where the corner is. But the onus is on us to perform and we must control the bandwagon."
.
"They compare Steve McManaman to Steve Heighway and he's nothing like him, but I can see why - it's because he's a bit different..."
.

.
"The ref was vertically 15 yards away."
.
"Football's always easier when you've got the ball."
.
"It's like a toaster, the ref's shirt pocket. Every time there's a tackle, up pops a yellow card."
.
"I'd love to be a mole on the wall in the Liverpool dressing room at half-time."
.
"The game has gone rather scrappy as both sides realise they could win this match or lose it."
.
"I'm not disappointed - just disappointed."
.
"There's a slight doubt about only one player, and that's Tony Adams, who definitely won't be playing tomorrow."
.
"I came to Nantes two years ago and it's much the same today, except that it's totally different."
.
"We managed to wrong a few rights."
.
"A tremendous strike which hit the defender full on the arm - and it nearly came off."
.
"That decision, for me, was almost certainly definitely wrong."
.
"Danny Tiatto is not going to make a mistake on purpose."
.

.
"Shaun Wright-Phillips has got a heart as big as his size, which isn’t big, but his heart’s bigger than that."
