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: wikipedia.com

  • Quotes by "Lamar "Rocky" Bridges, 50's baseball player:
  • "I'm a handsome, debonaire, easy-going six-footer. Anyway, that's what I told them at the Braille Institute."
  • "It was a good thing I was in Cincinnati for four years--it took me that long to learn how to spell it."
  • "(Sitting on the bench as a major leaguer) was like being a little boy forever. I got a big charge out of seeing Ted Williams hit. Once in a while they let me try to field some of them, which sort of dimmed my enthusiasm."
  • (On being asked by Chuck Dressen if he was willing to play third base to prolong his career) "Hell, yes. I'll mow your lawn if you like--I want to stay up here."
  • (On his career, and relative lack of success in the majors) "I've been a paid spectator at some pretty interesting events, and I've always had a good seat. I guess they figured there was no point in carrying a good thing too far."

SPORTS QUOTES
"What's happening to pro sports lately?" Tonight Show host Jay Leno asked. "You've got a star NFL quarterback accused of running dogfights and an NBA ref betting on games. What's next? Are they going to tell us pro wrestling is fixed?"

On the NHL's low U.S. audience figures, Chad wrote: "Nielsen no longer releases ratings for NHL games on Versus. It simply lists the names of all viewers on its website."

Donaghy was accused of betting on games, including some that he officiated. When it was speculated he would implicate other referees, Leno said, "He has reportedly hired a Florida attorney who specializes in defending whistleblowers. But aren't all referees whistleblowers?"

A long suspected doper, Jones admitted to cheating. Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote: "Some likened her to a gazelle, but I'll always picture her as a cheetah."

British snooker legend Alex Higgins wanted to stress the veracity of a comment he made to the BBC. "I swear on my mother's life - my late mother's life."

"This guy may never win a Super Bowl, but he has a great shot at the Breeders' Cup," Leno said about Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry, who fathered nine children by nine women.

Not surprisingly, Cherry defended fighting in hockey. "The fans love the fights. The players love the fights. The people go nuts on the fights. I hate to give NBC heck, and everything, but I'm told the reason they cut it down [the fighting] is because they wanted USA people to watch it - families. Can you believe it? That's the dumbest thing I've heard in my life - U.S., NASCAR, where they're crashing; football, kill the quarterback; Ultimate Fighting. Who's kidding who?"

"Guess I won't be taking the garbage out naked any more," Toronto Maple Leafs tough guy Wade Belak said after naked pictures of rookie teammate Jiri Tlusty were posted online.

When O.J. Simpson was caught breaking into a Las Vegas hotel room, Leno said, "There are a lot of different versions of what happened. Luckily, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was there and videotaped the whole thing."

Cote wrote: "Hockey great Gordie Howe is suing a Michigan neighbour whom he claims is invading his privacy by spying on his activities and constantly photographing his house, which is weird. Who knew Bill Belichick even lived in Michigan?"
