SPORTS GAMES TRIVIA
Free online sports games are now competitive with console versions
.
Free Sports Games Score With the Online Set
.
At next month's E3 gaming expo, gamers will be eagerly awaiting a preview of the latest installment in Electronic Arts Inc.' top-selling videogame franchise, Madden NFL 10.
.
But for those who don't want to shell out about $60 for it, there's another option: Quick Hit Football.
.
Made by online sports gaming company Quick Hit Inc., Quick Hit Football doesn't have any NFL teams, players' names or images in its game. But it doesn't require a console — such as an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 — to play. Another difference: it's free.
.
Like Quick Hit Football, other free online sports games are increasingly popping up and competing with established sports video game franchises from EA, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.'s 2K Games and other big companies.
.
While free online games are often casual fare with simple premises and graphics, a new generation of games coming out now has console-like graphics and more involved game play.
.
Quick Hit plans to launch its browser-based football game by September. In April, Internet entertainment company OnNet USA Inc. launched free online baseball game MLB Dugout Heroes and also struck a deal with Major League Baseball Advanced Media LP for use of its MLB teams and ballparks.
.
Last October, San Francisco-based World Golf Tour Inc. also launched a free, browser-based golf game that has virtual versions of real-life golf courses created from high-definition photographs for gamers to play.
.
These free online sports games are gaining traction, especially amid the recession as consumers pinch their pennies.

FISHING QUOTES
Quotes by humorists
.
Herb Shriner, a popular American humorist, TV personality, and radio host, once said that for you to become a good fisherman, there are just two things you need – patience and a worm. Amusing as it may seem, there definitely is an air of truth to this fishing quote. You certainly can't catch a single fish without a lure – much less a huge amount of patience.
Izaak Walton has his own fishing quotes to spare as well. Walton is an English writer and hobby fisher. He is the author of the book "The Compleat Angler", which is one of the first fishing books ever published. Walton was quoted in his book referring to angling as a skill that is very hard to learn – it is like mathematics that can't be fully understood.
Another American humorist, Patrick McManus, has quoted something about fishing too. McManus' expertise lies in life in the great outdoors. He has columns in several magazines, newspapers, and books about camping, fishing, and the like. He is the one who said that fishing is best done in two types of weather conditions alone - when it is not raining and when it is.

SOCCER HUMOR

Soccer, never a real favoritte in the U.S., except for soccer
moms and their kids, still remains phenomenally popular
everywhere else in the world.
.
Soccer's popularity has much to do with the availability
of a playing area (just about anywhere) and a single
soccer ball, from which youngsters can develop their
athletic skills and compete with their peers for athletic
supremacy.

BOXING QUOTE
.
Light heavyweight champion Archie Moore's
analysis of his fight with Rocky Marciano for
Marciano's heavyweight title in 1955:
.
He was a swinging machine, who didn’t seem to know the use of fear.
He didn’t seem to notice the pain of the punches. "No, I was too busy getting hit."
.
Archie Moore, his last opponent, said, "It was like fighting an airplane propeller. He had no footwork to stay out of my reach, but then I was the one who wanted to stay out of his. I tried to make him punch himself out, but he never ran out of gas."
.
In the 6th round of their fight, Marciano threw haymakers and uppercuts for 45 seconds, nonstop, at the dodging Old Mongoose, most missing or glancing off the top of his head and shoulders, but Marciano just kept swinging until Moore dodged into one too many.
.
When asked later which punch hurt the most, he said, "Man, they all hurt! It was like getting hit with a blackjack or a bag of rocks."

TRACK AND FIELD HUMOR
.
George H. Bush certainly never created the impression that he was one of American politics’ stand-up funny-men.
.
Yet he demonstrated a good sense of humor when he flubbed a line during his 1988 presidential campaign.
.
Bush said, “We’ve had triumphs. We’ve made mistakes. We’ve had sex.”
.
“Sex” was the tongue-tied replacement for “setbacks.”
.
Bush recovered easily from his flub by saying,
.
“I feel like the javelin thrower who won the toss and elected to receive.”

MUST WORK BACK TO MY BASE
DOWN BY ONE WITH THE CLOCK I RACE
.
ELBOW UP, I FEEL IT TWIST
GRIT MY TEETH, MAKE A FIST
.
PRESSURE OFF, NOW THE HALF
LOOK AWAY, I HEARD HIM LAUGH
.
RAISE MY BASE OFF THE MAT - HIT A SWITCH AS QUICK AS A CAT
.
NOW I'M UP AND HE'S DOWN - IT FEELS BETTER THIS WAY AROUND
.
WORK SO HARD FOR THE PIN - BUZZER OFF, I'VE GOT A WIN
.
NECK WRENCH, HAMMER LOCK, BODY SLAM
KNEE TWIST, BLOODY NOSE, ELBOW JAM
.
YOU TAKE IT ALL, BUT WORTH THE HAZE
WHEN AT THE END IT'S YOUR HAND THEY RAISE
.
--------------------
.
MAT BURNS
FACE TO FACE ON A PADDED WALL
WEIGHT ON TOP, NO AIR AT ALL
.
WRISTS & HANDS LOST, NOT FREE
THROBBING PAIN IN THE LEFT KNEE
.

BASEBALL QUOTES \ HUMOR
Quotes cited and explained by the Swami - I mean the Yogi

YOGI BERRA IS DEEPER THAN YOU THOUGHT.
BY ROSSER CLARK
- - - -
If you see a fork in the road, take it.
.
This statement has always raised the hackles of the determinists, with its implication of free will. I'm more of a compatibilist, in the manner of Hobbes, positing that freedom is an innate attribute of the individual, rather than some abstract notion of will. I've never held to the sort of dreary Calvinism that chains one to a savage deity who has foreknowledge of our sins and suffering and yet is unable or unwilling to intervene due to some mistaken notion of predestination. And, in that spirit, yes, I will eat my salad with my dinner fork. After washing it, of course. You never know where that road has been.
.
Wherever you go, there you are.
.
Because are you not still yourself, with all your achievements and positive attributes as well as your foibles? In the end, you can never run away from who you really are. I'm still not too old to embark on a little mind excursion now and again—toying with the existential, as it were.
.
Always go to other people's funerals;otherwise, they won't come to yours.
.
Clearly, I do believe in reincarnation, though more the Platonic view of rebirth, as a purification of the soul and a liberating return to a state of pure being, rather than the Brahmanic samsara, with its cycles of karmic debt. Don't get me started—I could go on all day.
.
Baseball is 90 percent mental, and the other half is physical.
.
This seeming logical fallacy had been gnawing at me for years, until the solution recently hit me, right in the middle of a thought exercise in imaginary-number theory—I can whiteboard the calculations, if you're interested. It's all thanks to some shattering concepts in advanced geometry, particularly regarding the vertical axis of the complex-number plane, which allow the numbers to be presented orthogonal to the real axis. What was it Samuel Clemens said? "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics." Quite apropos—or is it just me?
.
It's like déjà vu all over again.
.
Déjà vu is innately repetitive, so I think my premise speaks for itself. Nietzsche, with his representation of eternal recurrence in Thus Spake Zarathustra, would certainly agree. As would Zarathustra's dwarf.
.
Even Napoleon had his Watergate.
.
Perhaps I should clarify. Napoleon's self-coronation in 1804 could indeed be viewed as a military putsch that led to the first modern totalitarian regime. Very much in line with Nixon's controversial statements to David Frost in his 1977 interview, wherein he outlined his theories on the unitary executive. In the end, merely an elaborate attempt to excuse his involvement in the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Not that the Federalist Society would agree with me, mind.
.
If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be.
.
How could it be? What with the inherent flaws of a dualistic universe—light and dark, positive and negative, yin and yang. No, it's an imperfect world conceived by an imperfect god. Help us, frail creatures that we are.

CRICKET QUOTES
Quotes from a cricket forum
.
Sunil Gavaskar:
.
Once, during the tour of West Indies, a young bowler was trying to get under Gavaskar's skin by sledging. Gavaskar, a senior player retorted "Son, don't waste time sledging at me. I have been sledged at more often than you have taken a piss".
