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!

SPORTS QUOTES
.
International sport is war without shooting.
- George Orwell
.
Sport begets tumultuous strife and wrath, and wrath begets fierce quarrels and war to the death.
- Horace
.
Great sport begins at a point where it has ceased to be healthy.
- Bertolt Brecht
.
Sports allow men to build up situations of emergency. What he then demands of himself is unnecessary achievement - and unnecessary sacrifice. He artificially creates the tension that he has been spared by affluent society.
- Viktor Frankl
.
Sport is one area where no participant is worried about another's race, religion or wealth: and where the only concern is 'Have you come to play?'
- Henry Roxborough
.
Every time you win, you're reborn; when you lose you die a little.
- George Allen
.
Knute Rockne liked 'bad losers.' He said 'good losers' lose too often.
- George Allen
.
It is in games that many men discover their paradise.
- Robert Lynd
.
Jogging is very beneficial. It's good for your legs and your feet. It's also very good for the ground. It makes it feel needed.

.
Running for money doesn't make you run fast. It makes you run first.

.
Horses and jockeys mature earlier than people - which is why horses are admitted to race tracks at the age of two, and jockeys before they are old enough to shave.
- Dick Beddoes
.
I have never been able to understand why pigeon-shooting at Hurlingham should be refined and polite, while a rat-killing match in Whitechapel is low.
- T. H. Huxley
.
Hockey captures the essence of the Canadian experience in the New World. In a land so inescapably and inhospitably cold, hockey is the dance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive.
- Bruce Kidd
.
Fatigue makes cowards of us all.
- Vince Lombardi
.
