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!

Big Phil's best quotes
By Chris Charles
.
New Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari is not the kind of guy to call a spade a soil-redistibution implement.
.
'Big Phil' won't be afraid to say what he thinks and you can guarantee a few feathers will be ruffled when he takes up residence in the Premier League on 1 July.
.
Until then, here's a little reminder of the fiery Brazilian's past gems...
.
---------------------------------------------------
"Jesus said we should turn the other cheek. Unfortunately, Figo is not Jesus Christ." After Portugal captain Figo headbutted the Netherlands' Mark van Bommel at the last World Cup.
.
"There were 20 reporters in front of my house - that was too much and I didn't like it." When linked to the England job before Germany 2006.
.
"That hypocrisy that someone who's born here is a saint and someone born on the other side of the Atlantic is a devil, that doesn't exist. It's time to stop that clown show. I'm just like anybody else, I've got two legs, two arms and a head."
Upon being grilled by Her Majesty's press about the England position.
.
"I'm allowed to have meetings with who I want. I can have meetings with the Pope but to make a deal with the English FA is something else." Hitting back at criticism from within Portugal for talking to the FA.
.
"I can go to a ball at a dancing hall with these guys every day but I won't make an agreement." Insisting he wouldn't be signing any contracts with England until after the World Cup. And true to his word, he didn't.
.
"I think Pele knows nothing about soccer. He's done nothing as a coach and his analysis turns out to be always wrong. If you plan on winning a title, you do the opposite to what Pele says." After leading Brazil to their fifth World Cup triumph.
.
"If someone talks about my private life, for example, I'll give them a good punching. I'm not interested in suing. I like to sort things out my way."
After one of his players at Palmeiras was abused by fans over his private life.
.
"This is war, and I have to kill and not be killed." On football at the highest level.
.
"I believe firmly in astrology. Since I was a kid, the stars told me I was a winner." On being football's answer to Russell Grant.
.
"The most important thing is to have a unified group. The national team should be like a family."
.
International football.
.
"I once played in a marvellous team, Caxias. But one player took the place of a defender we liked a lot. The central defender who played alongside me told me: 'I'm not going to cover for him. I don't like him. He goes up to join the attack and doesn't come back; I'm not doing his work for him.' We lost the next game 5-1." On the importance of team unity.
.
"You play with joy when you get the right result. How can you play with joy if you lose? Imagine if we go to the World Cup and play three wonderful games, all out of this world - and we don't qualify. What's the point in that? If we have to play ugly to reach the objective, we will play ugly." Scolari's approach to the game with Portugal at the 2006 World Cup. Just what Roman Abramovich didn't want to hear.
.
"South American coaches, especially Brazilians and Argentinians, have a certain mystique about them. We make everything enjoyable, and that's what football's all about - having fun!" On the joy of being Brazilian.

TENNIS QUOTES
.
WTA's Ashley Harkleroad talks Playboy shoot with ESPN The Magazine Ashley Harkleroad, ranked 65th on the women's tennis tour, is about to get a lot more publicity when the shoot she did for Playboy Magazine appears on the newsstands Friday.
.
Ted Bauer of ESPN the Magazine interviewed Harkleroad about her decision to pose and of course about tennis.
.
"My boyfriend and my agents negotiated the deal for me,'' she told Bauer. "It's something entirely different than playing tennis, and I enjoy being in front of a camera. It's just a different avenue and I wanted to see where it could take me, so I accepted it."
.
Harkleroad said she has not heard anything negative from the players on tour and as for posing she added "I'm not a very modest person, so I was really feeling it. I was having a good time and trying to feel sexy in my own body; I think it worked. The pictures and the layout came out very classy."
.
If case you are interested she said the Williams sisters are her toughest opponents and Serena and Steffi Graf the two best players ever.

TONI STONE
aka Marcenia Lyle Alberga (real name)
Born: July 17, 1931
Died: Nov. 2, 1996
Second Baseman
1953 - Indianapolis Clowns
1954 - Kansas City Monarchs
1993 - Inducted to Women’s Sports Hall of Fame, Long Island, N.Y.
----------------------------------
Toni Stone's most memorable baseball moment came when she played against the lenendary Satchel Paige in 1953
.
" He was so good," she remembered, " That he'd ask batters where they wanted it, just so they'd have a chance.
.
He'd ask '"You want it high? You want it low? You want it right in the middle?
.
Just say. People still couldn't get a hit against him. So I get up there and he say,
.
"Hey, T, how do you like it? And I said, It doesn't matter just don't hurt me".
.
When he wound up--he had these big old feet--all you could see was his shoe. I stood there shaking, but I got a hit. Right out over second base. Happiest moment in my life.

Comments:
.
Anonymous said... One of the funniest quotes has to be during GSP's post fight interview after defeating Sean Sherk. I think it was after being asked if there was a time during the fight where he knew he hurt Sherk, GSP responded in his pepe le pu like accent "I knew he was hurt when I hit him in the nose and he went AHHHHH..." That was absolutely priceless.
.
crap said... Rampage before the Arona fight. Announcer asks him what's his strategy against Arona, Rampage says "there no strategy, I'm just gonna whoop his ass... that's my strategy, the whoop ass strategy"
.
Thomas said... my favorite is where Diaz says weed smoking isnt getting in the way of his fight career, but on the contrary his fight career is getting in the way of his weed smoking.
.
Anonymous said... Another laugher from Rampage, on Forrest Griffen ... "He has a glass jaw ... he punches like a crack head"
.
Anonymous said... Rampage talking about Forrest Griffin as a coach in the Ultimate Fighter. "Forrest is the type of guy, when he wipes his butt, he don't get it all."
.
GSP: "Matt Hughes beat me fair and square...I'm sorry, I'm still learning English; 'fairly squarely.'"
.
Anonymous said... Rampage before one of the Pride HW Championship tournament matches, "I hope this match doesn't take long cause I have to take a shit!
.
Anonymous said... Joe Rogan talking shit to a heckler in one of his stand ups. "I'll wrap my dick around your neck and start you up like a lawn mower!"
.
Anonymous said... The best quote ever was when GSP was on sherdog radio trying to clarify his reasoning for writing off matt serra and instead of saying i'm not trying to kiss anyone's ass he said "I'm not trying to lick any butts"
.
Bart B said... I've always loved the exchange:
Joe Rogan: "If you put Phil Baroni's brain in Pedro Rizzo's body, he would not lose."
Mike Goldberg: "and he would speak better english too".
