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 TRIVIA \ QUOTES
Ex-Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher sinks two (2) holes in 1 on 9/11/09
.
Although he won two games for Pittsburgh in the 1971 World Series, Steve Blass is best remembered as the pitcher who suddenly lost his control in 1973.
.
Blass went from being a 19-game winner in 1972 to being unable to find the plate, and soon was out of baseball. Ever since, any pitcher who develops incurable wildness is referred to as having "Steve Blass Disease."
.
But Blass was incredibly on the mark yesterday, sinking two holes-in-one in the same round of golf, at a Pirates Alumni event.
.
"The first one we all went berserk," Blass told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "The second one, I took off my glasses, and started rolling down the hill like a little kid. I looked like a big, fat bear rolling down the hill."
.
Golf Digest lists the odds of accomplishing the feat as 1-in-67 million.
.
The first ace was a 154-yarder, with an 8-iron. The second was from 175 yards, with a 7-iron.
.
"When I was driving home, I was still so numb, still shaking," Blass said.
.
"It was like after the World Series -- I was too thrilled to get drunk."
