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!

BASEBALL TRIVIA \ QUOTES

Babe Ruth’s Secret Revealed
.
“The scientific ivory hunters of Columbia University discovered that the secret of Babe Ruth’s batting, reduced to non-scientific terms, is that his eyes and ears function more rapidly than those of other players; that his brain records sensations more quickly and transmits its orders to the muscles much faster than does that of the average man.
.
The tests proved that the coordination of eye, brain, nerve system, and muscle is practically perfect, and that the reason he did not acquire his great batting power before the sudden burst at the beginning of the baseball season of 1920, was because, prior to that time, pitching and studying batters disturbed his almost perfect coordination.”

Part I: Goalie Quotes

Goaltender Quotations

"You try to squeeze a little more Charmin in the pads when you face him." " - Kevin Hodson on facing Al MacInnis

"Because the demands on a goalie are mostly mental, it means that for a goalie, the biggest enemy is himself. Not a puck, not an opponent, not a quirk of size or style. Him. The stress and anxiety he feels when he plays, the fear of failing, the fear of being embarrassed, the fear of being physically hurt, all the symptoms of his position, in constant ebb and flow, but never disappearing. The successful goalie understands these neuroses, accepts them, and puts them under control. The unsuccessful goalie is distracted by them, his mind in knots, his body quickly following." - Ken Dryden, goalie, Montreal Canadiens

"Most fans go wild when they see a goalie make what looks like a great save, but the chances are what they are seeing is a save that was made from being out of position." - Mike Richter, goalie, New York Rangers

"It's pretty tough for a goalie when you look at it. You're always the last line of defense. If you let a goal in, you can't go to the bench and hide between the guys or anything." - Kirk McLean, goalie, Vancouver Canucks

All From Don Cherry:

"Little Alan Bester, I've often said, has seen more rubber than a dead skunk on the Trans-Canada highway"

"Patrick Roy. If there's anybody worth a million bucks it Patrick" (in '89)

There is no such thing as painless goaltending. If they could get enough padding to assure against every type of bruise, you'd have to be swung into position with a small derrick."


"It's all part of the game, part of sticking up for your team. It's happened before and I'm sure it'll happen again. I saw (Daniel) Lacroix charging (Larry) Murphy, I was trying to stick up for him. I happened to look down the ice and Hexxy was coming down, I just tried to get ready for him. I've heard of him before and I was just trying to stick up for my team." - Felix Potvin after kicking Hextall's butt, goalie, Toronto Maple Leafs

"Playing goal is like being shot at" - Jaques Plante, yet again

"The goalie is like the guy on the minefield. He discovers the mines and destroys them. If you make a mistake, somebody gets blown up" - Arturs Irbe, Dallas goaltender

"We are the sort of people who make health insurance popular" - Terry Sawchuk, former Red Wing goaltender

"In Biblical times, I stoned people to death. Now they are repaying me by hurling pucks at my head" - Giles Gratton, former netminder

"It's the only way I can support my family. If I could do it another way, I wouldn't be playing goal" - Glenn Hall

"Any discussion on hockey goaltenders must begin with the assumption that they are about three sandwiches shy of a picnic. I can prove this. From the moment Primitive Man first lurched erect, he and those who came after him survived on the principle that when something hard and potentially painful comes at you at great velocity, you get the hell out of its path. Goalkeepers throw themselves into its path. I rest my case." - Jim Taylor, columnist

"How many people in life spend eighteen years getting shot at?" - Kevin Constantine, hockey coach

"Goalies are fine fellows when you meet them at center ice. They are fine fellows off the ice too. But don't think this cordiality is going to apply when you skate by the front of his cave. He'll slice you up if you come in close" - Chandler Sterling, writer

"Goaltending is a suffering position. Your equipment protects you from injury, but not from pain, every time you go out there. And if you allow a goal, the red lights go on for everyone to see. But you get to be a hero too." - Kevin Constantine

"Roses are red, violets are blue, they got ten, we only got two" - Gerry Cheevers after his team got demolished

"Because there wasn't enoguh time to play 54" - Grant Fuhr, after being asked how could he play 36 holes of golf in the middle of the Stanley Cup Finals

"He doesn't look like the paperboy. He looks like the paperboy's little brother" - Bryan Murray about Chris Osgood

"He farts a lot" - Bernie Parent's reply when asked what made Ed Van Impe such a good defenseman

"Only God saves more than Parent" - Philadelphia bumpersticker
