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!

AMERICAN FOOTBALL QUOTES
Web site presents quotes by football coach Lou Holtz
.
I'd rather have my memories than my youth.
.
Welcome to The Lou Holtz Show. Unfortunately, I'm Lou Holtz.
.
Don't ever ask a player to do something he doesn't have the ability to do. He'll just question your ability as a coach, not his as an athlete.
.
I try not to ask people things. I tell them. See, I'm the coach.
.
One way to save face is to keep the lower part of it shut.
.
It always amazes me that spectators want to coach, coaches want to officiate, and officials just want to watch the game.
.
What I'm looking for is a running back who can carry the ball twenty times on Saturday and then show up at practice Monday without a lawyer, doctor, or agent.
.
If I was murdered as soon as practice is over, there would be so many suspects among the players that they wouldn't even try to investigate.
.
I have never heard a successful man or woman get up and say, "I owe my success to drugs and alcohol."
.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE HUMOR
A football blogger presents a humorous view of player personalities in the NFL
.
If draft picks were selected because of personalities or character, there wouldn't be an NFL.
.
It was amusing Friday to hear some people talk about Texas outside linebacker Sergio Kindle being a little "strange." I actually liked his excitement and passion for the game in the brief time we were allowed to interview him. The kid is immature, like most rookies, but he'll fit in here in Baltimore. If draft picks were selected because of personalities or character, there wouldn't be an NFL.

Over the years, the Ravens have had some characters, and they all had certain characteristics which made them special. Below are some of the best in Ravens history:

Errict Rhett, RB: Rhett talked and answered himself. If Rhett didn't feel like talking to Rhett, he would start talking to anybody or anything.

Bam Morris, RB: Morris had two personalities; There was the Bama-Rama, who spent a lot of time in the slamma. And then there was Byron Morris, who was a really nice guy when he wasn't Bama-Rama.

Orlando Brown, OT: Nice guy, but plum loco on Sunday afternoons.

Tony Siragusa, DT: The Goose could be abusive and offensive at times, but he could also be charming and extremely funny.

Sam Adams, DT: He was nicknamed "Sybil" because of his multiple personalties.

Bennie Thompson, S: Pound for pound, he was the meanest and toughest player ever to wear a Ravens uniform. He lived off chewing tobacco.

Billy Davis, WR: This man used to prepare for games by running around the locker room naked with only a helmet on.

Ralph Staten, S: Terrible guy, plum loco all the time.

Eric Green, TE: By the time he came to Baltimore, he was finished as a tight end. He never practiced, and occasionally appeared in the lineup on Sunday's during the two seasons he played in Baltimore. Green gave new meaning to the term of a player "stealing money."

Michael McCrary, DE: McCrary was an oversized kid who never got over his love for toys. He liked to ride around in a tank, and had his own rocket pack which he like to fly in the deserts in Arizona.

Derrick Alexander, WR: He may have coined the term "dog" before it became popular. "What up dog?" "Get away from my locker dog". "Michael Jackson is my dog" Ironically, Alexander never owned one. He once ate lobster by cracking them with his teeth.

Steve Everitt, C: He was a flower child who should have lived in the 1960s.

Ed Reed, S: His mood changes as often as he changes socks, or hooded sweat shirts.

Greg Montgomery, P: He never made any sense, and often had crazy theories on why the United States went to war against Vietnam, and how the U.S. spies on other countries with their nuclear submarines. He had tatoos in places that were unimaginable.

Peter Warrick

Peter Warrick, the standout Florida State WR who was busted in college for shoplifting from a department store, became another entry in the Bengals’ long list of woeful draft picks when they took him fourth overall in 2000. Warrick wasn’t able to steal much time in the NFL, though, and after bouncing around the league for five years, he fell back to small-time leagues. He’s currently on the roster of the Bloomington Extreme of the Indoor Football League.

Web site presnts the origins of major league baseball team nicknames
.
Oakland Athletics
.
The Athletics nickname is one of the oldest in baseball, dating to the early 1860s and the Athletic Baseball Club of Philadelphia. In 1902, New York Giants manager John McGraw referred to Philadelphia’s American League team as a “white elephant.” The slight was picked up by a Philadelphia reporter and the white elephant was adopted as the team’s primary logo. The nickname and the elephant logo were retained when the team moved to Kansas City in 1955 and to Oakland in 1968.

BOATING \ SAILING QUOTES

It was just the sort of yacht you’d expect a rock promoter to have. Mirrored ceilings, marble, Jacuzzis and leopard-skin everything, it made the merely vulgar seem commonplace.

~ Pamela Anderson (Starstruck)

A dugout is much superior to a conventional manufactured canoe because you can get soaking wet without bothering to capsize it.
