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 (NFL) TRIVIA \ QUOTES
Web site presents an updated "where are they now?" of the 50
greatest NFL draft busts.
.
Preamble to the draft busts list:
.
From 1992 through 2001 eighteen quarterbacks were selected in
the first round.
.
Six went on to have successful NFL careers while twelve were
unquestioned busts.
.
Not one of the twelve coaches of the twelve busts had his job three
years later.
.
If you are a GM or a head coach and you miss a top pick at
quarterback, you can go ahead and put your home on the market,
because you will be moving soon.
.
Source: Brian Billick, More than a Game
.
End of preamble.
.
Many of the draft busts survived the trauma, while others, in worst
case scenarios, lost all fame and fortune, and, for some, freedom itself.

Ribbit...
.
Fire alarms at the team hotel are nothing new. England's Ashes team were woken at 4am last summer and forced to stand in the rain on the eve of the fourth Test (they were then bowled out for 102 on the first day).
.
But during the 2006 World Cup, the Ukrainian team came up with a highly original reason for a bad nights sleep at the team hotel.
.
Frogs.
.
Vladislav Vashchuk said Ukraine's 4-0 defeat to Spain was due to noisy frogs outside their team hotel in the German town of Potsdam.
.
"Because of the frogs' croaking we hardly got a wink of sleep," the defender explained. "We all agreed that we would take some sticks and go and hunt them."

LYRICS OF THE NOVELTY SONG
.
Some fellas look at the eyes
Some fellas look at the nose
Some fellas look at the size
Some fellas look at the clothes
.
I don't care if her eyes are red
I don't care if her nose is long
I don't care if she's underfed
I don't care if her clothes are worn
First I look at the purse!
.
Some fellas like the smiles they wear
Some fellas like the legs that's all
Some fellas like the style of their hair
Want their waist to be small.
.
I don't care if their legs are thin
I don't care if their teeth are big
I don't care if their hair's a wig
Why waste time lookin' at the waistline?
First I look at the purse!
.
A woman can be fine as can be,
kisses sweet as honey
But that don't mean a thing to me
If you ain't got no money
If the purse is fat....that's where it's at.
.
Some fellas like the way they walk
The way they swing and sway
Some fellas like the way they talk
Dig the things they say.
.
I don't care if they wobble like a duck
or talk with a lisp
I still think I'm a good lover
if the dollar bills are crisp
.
First I look at the purse!
First I look at the purse!
First I look at the purse!
First I look at the purse!
.

Sports bloggeer presents his second update to his original top 50 jerks in sports.
.
Excerpt from the blogger's second update:
.
"We are surrounded by jerks. Jerks in politics. Jerks in cars. Jerks in planes. Jerks at sea. Jerky actors who get all the jerky ladies. Jerky writers (hand raises furiously). Jerkity jerks that spill their jerky oil. The jerk that rolls his eyes when you order a venti soy hazelnut vanilla cinnamon white mocha with extra caramelized Halle Berry.
.
But, most of all, there are jerks in sports. There are enough jerks in sports to start a new species of man: sportus homus jerkus."

GOLF TRIVIA \ QUOTES
.
60 Most Famous Golfers
.
W.C. Fields 1880-1946
.
The misanthropic comedian, actor and writer lived next to Lakeside Golf Club, where he regularly broke 90 playing with his pal Oliver Hardy, drank heavily and provided entertainment for members by chasing ducks off his lawn in his pajamas.

Golf featured in many of his movies. "The Golf Specialist" was based on an earlier vaudeville act, and in "The Big Broadcast of 1938" -- Bob Hope's debut -- Fields tries to break the speed record for a round of golf using a motor scooter.

In a 1972 Golf Digest article, Lester A. Weinrott recalled his "18-martini round with W.C. Fields" in 1932: "The first six holes are a phantasmagoria in my memory. I remember much laughter at what Mr. Fields said and did. I remember with what artistry he juggled two, three, then four golf balls. I recall that he did wonderful tricks with a golf club. I remember that he won all the side bets. Mostly I remember many refills from one of the martini bottles. I had the remaining good sense to pour mine, or most of mine, onto the grass."

FENCING POEM \ HUMOR
.
Casey on the Strip

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the foil squad that night;

The score stood seven bouts to five, with three more left to fight,

And after Cooney's body cord had snapped - and so he lost -

The third-to-last opponent to the strip had calmly crossed.


The fifty people watching were enthralled in thick suspense.

They thought, "If only now were mighty Casey's turn to fence,

He'd win the bout - he's beat this man two times before, or three,

And Flynn can fence the last man, who is even worse than he."


But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Black,

And the former never parried and the next could not attack.

There was little chance that they'd win, so in spite of Casey's tricks,

The tournament would still be lost by nine bouts to their six.


But Flynn let fly a mighty fleche with feats of daring-do,

And Jimmy Black, the much despised, won by five to two,

And when the lights stopped flashing, all the audience was awed,

For now the score was tied, with seven bouts to either squad.


Then from the fifty people there arose a lusty yell:

It rumbled through the valley and it rattled in the dell:

The epees and the sabres joined this show of fellowship,

For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the strip.


There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped behind the line;

They gently tested weapons, and his smile was benign,

And when his hand closed, tightening, around his pistol-grip,

No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Casey on the strip.


One hundred eyes were waiting for the battle to commence.

The two saluted graciously and heard a "Ready, fence!"

Then Casey lunged like lightening, the machine one light gave out,

And Casey very soon amassed four touches in the bout.


Now the opponent's foil plunged at Casey through the air,

And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there.

Unparried, it impacted his lamé's metallic weft.

"That's not my style," said Casey. The director said, "touch left."


From the fifty watching people, there went up a muffled roar

Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore.

"Test weapons once again!" one cried. "There must be something wrong!"

And there might have been a riot had not Casey calmed the throng.


Between director and the crowd did Casey intercede,

He stilled the rising tumult, and he bade the bout proceed.

So three more times against him his opponent's weapon fell,

And Casey thrice ignored it. The director said, "La Belle."


"Fraud!" cried the maddened fifty, and the echo answered, "Fraud!"

But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed.

His face was stern behind his mask; they saw his muscles strain,

And knew that Casey would not let himself be hit again.


His face is clenched in hate as he salutes and stands en garde.

The director calls out, "Ready, fence!" and Casey's eyes are hard.

Forth comes the other foil like a gleaming metal ghost,

And now the air is shattered by his parry and riposte!


Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,

And somewhere birds are singing, and somewhere hearts are light.

And somewhere men are laughing, and little children play,

But there's no joy on the foil squad since Casey's mal parre.

BOXING QUOTES \ HUMOR
Web site presents quotes by ex-heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson
.
Boxing humor:
.
In the November 21, 1962 episode of The Dick van Dyke Show "The Night the Roof Fell In", Rob Petrie is explaining to his son Richie that when parents are arguing, it is a "discussion" rather than a "fight":
.
Rob: The difference between a fight and a discussion is uh, well, now you've seen boxers in the ring hitting each other? Now that's a fight!
.
Richie: You mean like Floyd Patterson and Sonny Liston?
.
Rob: Well, a lot of people thought that was more of a discussion.
.
Quotes by Patterson:
.
"It's easy to do anything in victory. It's in defeat that a man reveals himself."
.
"They said I was the fighter who got knocked down the most, but I also got up the most."
.
"When you have millions of dollars, you have millions of friends."
.
On boxing: "It's like being in love with a woman. She can be unfaithful, she can be mean, she can be cruel, but it doesn't matter. If you love her, you want her, even though she can do you all kinds of harm. It's the same with me and boxing. It can do me all kinds of harm but I love it."
.
-----------
.
Editor's note:
.
The humor from the Dick Van Dyke show cited above clearly
spelled out how soundly Liston defeated Patterson in the title bout.
.
For young sports fans who may watch films of that fight, remember
that Patterson, like an earlier heavyweight titleholder, Ezzard Charles,
was actually a light heavyweight fighter who "crucified" the light
heavies, so, in fighting heavyweights like Liston he fought mainly
with his heart and paid the price for having the courage to take on
such awesome competition.
.
Because boxing fans finally recognized his championship courage and
heart, he became far more popular with boxing fans after he retired
from boxing;
.
I do recall his manager wanted Patterson to avoid selected fighters,
but Patterson had that much confidence and courage even then to
want to take on all comers!
.
He showed his manhood in the ring, as he would take on all
fighters, regardless of the odds and the opponent's fistic abilities - he
was a man in and out of the ring!

BOXING HUMOR \ QUOTES
A boxing forum presents its choices of best and worst boxer nicknames.
.

Even though it would be lame for a lot of fighters, 'Big' George Foreman just seems to be a great nickname. It's simple like 'Irish' Micky Ward. Of course 'Real Deal' Holyfield and 'Iron' Mike Tyson are really good.

And Ronald and James like 'Winky' and 'Buster' just fine.

Lance 'Goofi' Whitaker is just terrible. Or is it Goofi Whitaker, formerly Lance? I know there was a time that Goofi was his legal name.

I'm not a big fan of John 'The Quiet Man' Ruiz, either.

Is 'El Terrible' (Erik Morales) a nickname that gets lost in translation? I never quite got that one...

Laila 'She Be Stingin' Ali is pretty weak too.

A nickname itself should be good, but it should fit the guy it accompanies, too.

Worst: Owen "what the heck" Beck

I think that shows his carefree, fun demeanor. Dude came out in the Barrett fight wearing a Got jesus? t-shirt and with the Sanford & Son theme song playing...

Maybe you don't have to be a menacing psychopath to be an effective heavyweight.

Come to think of it, though, he did lose that fight...

Not even close.

Andre "The All Terrain Fighter" Ward is by far the worst ever.

When Jimmy Lennon announced him as the winner of the Ashworth fight, he was Andre "SOG" Ward...

I didn't catch what that was supposed to stand for

I seriously think the absolute worst boxing name is "Irish"

I mean you never see black fighters named "African"

it's pointless/ignorant/lame to have irish as a nickname.


Best nickname of all time is:

Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran

touch of sleep is also a pretty cool name.

Bobby "No Dice" Chacon
Mendogen "3k Battery" Singsurat
Juan "the Hispanic causing panic" Lazcano
Friday "the 13th" ahunanya
gerald "the body snatcher" mcClellan
Evander "the real deal" holyfield

are all cool in my opinion.

Duran's is easily the best; Hands of Stone/Manos de Piedra.

El Terrible is pretty awesome.
Sugar only worked for Robinson, in my opinion.
Someone mentioned Raging Bull for Lamotta. I'm pretty sure it was actually Bronx Bull. Raging Bull came from the movie.

I like "The Executioner" since Hopkins really does ruin many fighters.

Another one that I thought was good was Carl "The Truth" Williams. I thought he gave Holmes a good showing when they fought. Too bad his chin wasn't "The Truth" though.

I read in some boxing magazine a while ago that Freitas' nickname "Popo" is supposed to be the sound that a baby makes while being breat fed from his mother. :confused:

There's a local fighter here that goes by the Tazmexican Devil. I like that. Dude's head barely sticks over the top of the ropes - I don't know how tall that is - maybe 5'5"? and he fights at lt. heavyweight...

The Executioner is my favourite.

‘Bonecrusher’, ‘Hands of Stone’, ‘Italian Dragon’, ‘The Living Death’, ‘The Body Snatcher’ and of course ‘The Count of Monte Fisto’ (ok yeah he wasn’t a real fighter but that’s a cool ass nickname) are all up there to…

As for the worst, 'A Force'...

4. Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
5. Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns
6. John "The Beast" Mugabi
7. Roberto "Manos de Piedra" Duran (sounds better in Spanish)
8. "Smokin" Joe Frasier
9. Donovan "Razor" Ruddock
10. Mike "The Body Snatcher" McCallum

Honorable Mention: "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas, "Big" George Forman, James "Lights Out" Toney, Juan "The Hispanic Causing Panic" Lazcano, Ike "Bazooka" Quartey, "Terrible" Tim Witherspoon.

Worst 10:

1. Darnell "The Ding-a-Ling Man" Wilson
2. James "Buster" Douglas
3. Ronald "Winky" Wright
4. Jerry "Wimpy" Halstead
5. Jesse "The Boogieman" Ferguson

I always hated Chris "simply the best" Eubank and he'd come into Tina Turners simply the best song....lame !!! considering he was no where the best made it worse.

a nickname has to fit in with the style of fighter and not just their name, if your nickname is hitman or dynamite but you dont carry any power then thats pointless.

It's good to have something thats about where your from too, like bronx bull or motor city cobra.

You can't get much better than "the greatest"That was not a nickname, it was Muhammad Ali's opinion of himself. Ali never really had a nickname, unless you count "The Louisville Lip" as he was dubbed while he was still Cassius Clay. Far from flattering, he was also called "Gaseous Cassius," both nicknames stemming from his propensity for braggadocio.

My absolute best is Luis Angel Firpo's "Wild Bull of the Pampas."

Other great nicknames:

Brown Bomber (Joe Louis)
Toy Bulldog (Mickey Walker)
Manassa Mauler (Jack Dempsey)
Brockton Blockbuster (Rocky Marciano)
Galveston Giant (Jack Johnson)Conspicuous by it's absence is popular favorite "Hands of Stone" which gets loss in translation from Manos de Piedra (spanish).

My absolute worst is Pernell Whitaker's "Sweet Pea" more suitable for a wimp.

Other worst nicknames:

Quiet Man (John Ruiz)Note: I'll add to the worse list later; gotta go to work now.

SOCCER HUMOR \ QUOTES
Web sites presents funny nicknames of famous soccer players.
.
El Hadji Diouf -- Serial Killer
.
This is the case of the disappearing nickname. Liverpool thought they had pulled off a huge coup by signing Diouf, who shone at the 2002 World Cup. But his $15.4m price tag proved to be a massive rip-off when the Senegal forward flopped spectacularly. The Serial Killer, so called for ice-coolness in front of goal, is now better known for serially spitting -- twice at fans and once at another player.
.

.

Fitz Hall -- One Size
.
Not a player known to many people outside the UK, Hall is a journeyman defender of limited ability currently plying his trade for Queens Park Rangers in England's second tier. Yet he will always be fondly recalled in lists such as this one, with the immortal nickname of One Size, as in "one size fits all." Whoever came up with it is going straight to football heaven.
