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!

GOLF QUOTES
.
The Secret of golf is to turn three shots into two. -Bobby Jones
.
Like the classic plays and symphonies Sam Snead doesn't belong to just one generation. His mark will be left on golf for an eternity. -Peter Thomson
.
Dona' worry about the score so much, it's not the important thing. -Shivas Irons
.
Now, here's Jack Lemmon, about to play an all-important eighth shot. -Jim McKay

I'd rather play golf and break even, than work hard and come out ahead. -Mike Donald
.
Real Golfers go to work to relax. -George Dillon
.
I still swing the way I used to, but when I look up the ball is going in a different direction. -Lee Trevino
.
Never bet with anyone you meet on the first tee who has a deep suntan, a one-iron, and squinty eyes. -Dave Marr
.
There is no such thing as a natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls. -Lee Trevino
.
Putting isn't golf, greens should be treated almost the same as water hazards: you land on them, then add two strokes to your score. -Chi Chi Rodriguez
.
Indeed, The highest pleasure of golf may be that on the fairways and far from all the pressures of commerce and rationality, we can feel immortal for a few hours. -Colman McCarthy.
.
If the wind is in your face, you swing too hard just to get the ball through it; if the wind is at your back, you swing too hard just to see how far you can get the ball to go. -Mulligan's Laws
.
No Matter How short the par three, the drive is never a gimme. -Mulligan's Laws

Nothing dissects a man in public quite like golf. -Brent Musberger
.
Golf is the hardest game in the world to play, and the easiest to cheat at. -Dave Hill
.
Golf is not a wrestle with Bogey; it is not a struggle with your mortal foe, it is a physiological, psychological, and moral fight with your self; it is a test of mastery over self; and the ultimate and irreducible element of the game is to determine which of the players is the more worthy combatant. -Arnold Haultain
.
Watch their eyes. Fear shows up when there is an enlargement of the pupils. Big pupils lead to big scores. -Sam Snead

HOCKEY HUMOR
.
WHAT MAKETH THE VETERAN!
.
Life begins at 40 so they say! But did any of us celebrate! Did we tell anyone at work?Did we say that we were the most elite. fittest, most skilled sportsmen anywhere, anytime? NO WAY! But we thought it!
.
What we did say was mainly aimed at reassurance from our loved ones "how do my knees look today dear?` or "how many strands of hair are there on my brush, dear?"
.
How did the reassurance work? Well, not too good I`m afraid. Lots of hysterical laughter and derision, with wives, children and relatives all gasping in disbelief - "you`re not still playing hockey are you, surely you will need oxygen!" "Are you playing on a quarter field? Which leg are you going to limp on?"
.
But we fooled `em all, didn`t we - armed with linament, bandages, plaster, elastics, bike pants and lots of different hats and sunburn cream.
.
WE BECAME VETERANS AND WE ARE PROUD OF IT (once we got over the shock of 40 (50/60 ?!) and grew an extra layer of skin)!
.
Notice there has been no mention of drinking, parties, fun times. WOMEN or the smokes . . YET!The truth is we elite athletes don`t need any of these "inducements" - you see we are perfect, we have no vices, no bad women and no addictions.
.
All we need is plenty. . . plenty of lovely young physiotherapists to organise the linament, plenty of large bottles of well brewed water (with just a little yeast in it, for flavouring. of course) and plenty of competition.
.
So, the qualified Veteran is a personality, that is - fit (always), loves his sport, loves his social bit after a game, is slightly bald, has long arms when reading and walks funny.
.
The end result is that we all qualify and should all have a great Tournament in the true spirit of veterans. We have lots in common - lots of comradeship and happy memories and a good game every now and then.Welcome to Sydney and good luck in your event.
.
Author : Ken Vaughan (Sydney, NSW, World Vets Tournament, 1994).

SPORTS ANECDOTES

Ralph Kiner, home run ace for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the days when that team could scarcely win a game, once told this story about the early days of his marriage to former tennis star Nancy Chaffee.

"When I married Nancy," Ralph said, "I vowed I'd beat her at tennis someday. After six months, she beat me 6-3. After a year, she beat me 6-4. After we were married a year and a half, I pushed her to 7-5.

Then it happened! She had a bad day, and I had a good one, and I beat her 17-15."

At this point in the story, Kiner was asked if his wife had been sick on that day.

"Of course not!" he said. Then he added,
Well -- she was eight months pregnant."

=============================

Joe Garagiola tells this story about a day he was catching for the St. Louis Cardinals at Wringley Field inChicago. One of the distinguishing features of Wrigley is the ivy that covers the outfield walls. Another is the unpredictable wind , which can create nightmares for even the best of pitchers. On this day, the wind was working very much in the batters' favour, and the Cubs' pitcher was taking a pounding. Chicago manager Phil Cavaretta walked slowly to the mound, then took the ball from the pitcher.

"I hate to take you out," he said consolingly, "but the outfielders are getting poison ivy."

==========================

Bronko Nagurski of the Chicago Bears was one of the biggest -- and strongest -- men ever to play professional football. On one play from the one-yard line , Nargurski plowed thru' the defensive line with so much power that he kept going thru' the end zone. With his head still down, he crashed into a mounted policeman, felling both the cop and his horse. Not aware of what he'd done, Nagurski stood up and cleared his head. "That last man hit me awful hard," he said.

==========================

Muhammed Ali held the heavy weight boxing title for a total of 13 years over a sixteen-year stretch. During his reign, he was known for the verbal jousting he subjected his opponents to before each bout. Ali went to see the movie Rocky II, which, like its predecessor, featured a boxer modeled pretty closely on Ali. In one scene, this character jeers at Rocky and announces, "I'll destroy you. I am the master of disaster."

After watching the film, Ali said, " 'MASTER OF DISASTER.' WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!"

======================

During the years when Casey Stengel was their manager, the New York Mets were the laughing stock of the National League. The player who best exemplified the team's hopelessness was Marv Throneberry, known to the Mets' adoring fans as "Marvellous Marv." Throneberry could be relied on to strike out in any key situation and to make an error just when the opposing team needed it most. One day, the team held a birthday party for manager Casey Stengel, complete with an enormous birthday cake. Throneberry complained, "How come nobody gave me a cake on my birthday?"

"We would have," manager Casey said, "but we were afraid you'd drop it."

========================
Although Camille Henry was one of the smallest players in the National Hockey League, he had a reputation for facing down anyone else in the league, no matter what size. He once tangled with one of the fiercest fighters in hockey. In the middle of the tussle, Henry shouted, "Watch out or I'll bleed all over you!"

=========================

Frankie Frisch had little regard for hecklers. One day, when he was managing the Pittsburgh Pirates, he became incensed by a man sitting right behind the Pirate dugout. The fan screamed at him throughout the afternoon, offering suggestions on how the game should be played. When the game was over, Frisch went into the stands and asked the man for his name and business address. The fan was flattered. He gave Frisch the information, then asked why he wanted it.

Smiling, Frisch replied, "I'll be at your office bright and early tomorrow morning to tell you how to run your business."

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED'S RATIONALE FOR THE SWIMSUIT MODELS ISSUE
(OR, IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM!)

Bikinis make men stupid
Published Jul. 1, 2008

You may have known this all along, but now it has been demonstrated scientifically: bikinis make men stupid.

This month’s issue of the Journal of Consumer Research features a paper titled “Bikinis Instigate Generalized Impatience in Intertemporal Choice,” which is a neuroeconomist’s (definition in a moment) way of saying that men don’t make good decisions while checking out pretty girls in bikinis.

Virgil wrote of the phenomenon 2,000 years ago when he created the epic poem “The Aeneid.”

When Venus convinces Vulcan to make some special armor, she
…threw her snow-white arms around him As he held back, caressing him here and there, And suddenly he caught fire — the same old story, The flame he knew by heart went running through him, Melting him to the marrow of his bones… She knew her beauty’s power.

=====================

And a tip of the Sports_nut hat to Hugh Hefner also for using that same logic to generate billions of dollars and billions of dreams - thanks, Marilyn!

SOCCER QUOTES
.
For those who dont know (Shame on you if you follow football!) Ian Holloway is the manager of QPR and tends to come out with complete gibberish during interviews, here are a few of them:
.
"Do we want women to come and watch? I do, I think they're bloody pretty, prettier than any man I've seen. What do women like? Legs. Our shorts are getting longer. And why can't players lift their shirts up to celebrate? Who is it disrespecting? Ladies like to see a good looking lad with his shirt off. They'd have to go somewhere else though cos all my lot are ugly as hell,"
.
I reckon the ball was travelling at 400mph, and I bet it burned the keeper's eyebrows off. [after a 2-0 win at Crewe]
.
I mean no respect to Donatella. I'm sure she would not be flattered to hear she looks like Marc Bircham.
.
I've got to get Dan Shittu ready for the Stoke game. I've told him to go to Iceland and ask if he can sit in one of their freezers
.
There was a spell in the second half when I took my heart off my sleeve and put it in my mouth
.
Right now, everything is going wrong for me - if I fell in a barrel of boobs, I'd come out sucking my thumb!
.
To the people who booed - boo to you! Come to my house tomorrow and we can fight!
.
When my mum was running our house, when I was a kid, all the money was put into tins. She knew what was in every tin and I know how much I've got in my tin - that's the way we'll run this club.
.
It's like putting a snake in a bag, if you do not tie it up, it will wriggle free.
.
What the hell he [the referee] saw I don't know - he ought to go down to Specsavers.
.
The fat lady hasn't started to sing yet, but she has a mic in her hand.
.
To put it in gentleman's terms, if you've been out for a night and you're looking for a young lady and you pull one, you've done what you set out to do. We didn't look our best today but we've pulled. Some weeks the lady is good looking and some weeks they're not. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She may not have been the best looking lady we ended up taking home but it was still very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much and let's have coffee.
.
We need a big, ugly defender. If we had one of them we'd have dealt with County's first goal by taking out the ball, the player and the first three rows of seats in the stands.
.
You never count your chickens before they hatch. I used to keep parakeets and I never counted every egg thinking I would get all eight birds. You just hoped they came out of the nest box looking all right. I'm like a swan at the moment. I look fine on top of the water but under the water my little legs are going mad.
.
You can say that strikers are a bit like postmen, they have to get in and out as quick as they can before the dog has a go.
.
(About the reporter who claimed Danny Shittu was to be sold): Whoever that was, I would like to pull his pants down and slap his arse like I used to do to my kids. Apparantly im not even allowed to do that anymore otherwise I will have the old health and safety on my back giving it the old 'hello'. The world's gone mad. Tony Blair won the election, so why's he gotta resign? I think the Conservative fella should. If he couldn't win an election with a failing government, or a flailing government, what's the matter with him? Get out you ain't no good. I know we're not talking football...we are, aren't we?
.
...I can't see into the future. Last year I thought I was going to Cornwall on my holidays, but I ended up going to Lyme Regis....
.
Our substitute didnt have his shirts or pants on. I've had better days
.
Every dog has its day - and today is woof day! Today I just want to bark.
