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 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.
