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!

Bonus entry: Golf Slang
.
The blogger's presentation begins here:
.
Sure, there’s probably a lot of slang out there that we haven’t heard but it’s safe to say, we’ve heard our share of comments, jabs and otherwise general golf course smack talk. Here are our thoughts on what’s good, what’s bad and what’s just plain ugly (and not in that particular order).
.
The Please Stop:
These include the old, the tired, the lame and just general golf sayings we’d be happy to never hear again:
.
•Let the big dog eat – 1989 called. It wants its Ping Eye 2 persimmon woods back. Plus, rolling one up to the 150 marker on a 300 yard hole is not “letting the big dog eat”.
.
•Go in the hole! – Yes, please continue to yell this lame old tidbit at every swing Tiger takes between now and the end of time. Seriously. Security! Please remove this oaf from the premises.
.
•Members bounce – ah yes, a good bounce is a ‘members’ bounce! Hilarious! Yeah…not really. .
•Beach – that’s the best we’ve come up with for a large collection of sand? A beach? Again, uninspired and lame.
.
•Snowman – Ok, an 8 looks like a cute little snowman. Enough with the Sesame Street humor. .
•I’ve seen a better swing on a set of dog’s balls – now that’s a quality, well thought out jab at a crappy golf swing. Bravo. 10 pts for originality and grossness!
.
•The Condom – safe but didn’t feel very good.
.
•Run like an open sore! – kinda gross, kinda clever…it’s a keeper!
.
•Junior Prom – all lip and no hole. Yes, we know…..another classy one.
.
The Good:
These include the clever, the interesting and the unique and they represent a new breed of golf slang:
.
•Beat it Like a Rented Mule! – good advice for one’s playing partner while standing on the tee of a reachable par 5.
.
•More Rudder Right! – or left, depending on the situation but after a playing partner launches one towards the tree tops, a quick “more rudder right” can be pretty funny.
.
•I hope my swinging doesn’t bother your talking! – pretty self explanatory and can easily get the the chatter to stop.
.
•Get it Close! – must be used at the appropriate time i.e., when your playing partner pretty much as a gimme putt but feels the need to mark and line it up like it’s a putt for the US Open trophy.
.
•I don’t even go that far on vacation! – to be used only after you’ve out-driven the entire group.
.
•Cuban – a putt left short but needed “one more revolution”. Get it? One more revolution? Pretty funny…
.
•Osama Bin Laden – going from one bunker to another. Again, mildly amusing and a keeper.
.
•Bill O’ Reilly – a tee shot that is right of right.

"You know when you’ve got a noisy neighbour and they keep the radio on all the time? You can complain to the council, you can bang on their wall, you can go to their door, but they still keep their music on. So what do you do? You get used to it."
— Another one for the Alex Ferguson annals but Man City still have the volume up.
.
"In the first half we were like the Dog and Duck, in the second half we were like Real Madrid. One minute I was pulling pints and collecting subs, the next I was on a luxury coach. At full time I was at them like an irritated Jack Russell who can’t quite get the mutt out of the hole — and they deserved that."
— Ian Holloway is more than welcome to stay in the Premier League as long as he wants.

BASEBALL HUMOR \ TRIVIA
Blogger presents, along with humorous comments, sports cards from his collection.

Funny Baseball Cards

Hey, I'm Dave, and this blog is about my expensive scraps of cardboard.

Background Check

.

Angels in the Outfield

I’ve heard that Billy was unaware the photographer was lining him up under the halo at Angel Stadium, but that’s probably just as well… I think he played second backup outfielder, so this card may be the most famous aspect of his career.
.

200th Post!

I know what you’re thinking: “He’s no Goose Gossage!”


The back reads: “When his days of playing chicken are over, his ambition he says is to get into managing… probably a pizza parlor.”
.
A Match Made in Heaven

Johnson & Wood… perhaps not as good as Bong & Puffer, but still admirable.

Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang


Tang was injured after an opposing pitcher accidentally hit him in the face with the ball while he was sliding into second, fracturing several bones and requiring surgery. But now he gets to wear a cool mask!
.
Napoleon Complex






Fleer later clarified that Hrabosky was not a dwarf.


Cigarettes, rams?


There’s actually another Brett Butts potentially making his rounds to the bigs as well.
.
Future Astro?


“Every male in my family has a first name that starts with H. I guess they were running out of possibilities, so I was named Houston.”
— Houston Summers

Keep in mind, this is not the R&B singer of the same name who gouged out his own eye with a fork after unsuccessfully attempting to leap out of a hotel window. Different guy.

Finally, a Legible Signature!

.
Dropping A Duce




Useful Trivia: In early 2006, Duce filed a police report saying he lost a bracelet that may have been worth around $100,000 at a strip club in S.C. one Saturday morning.

… We’ve all been there, right?!
It's My Party

Sad day…


But let us not forget this one of Glenn’s.



Nerdy Glasses and Mustaches: Round Two
.

Some of you may remember a little side-collection I posted back in 2009. Well, I’ve added quite a bit more to it since, and Round Three is still to come!



Ken “Digger” Phelps later became a color commentator for the Diamondbacks… but try not to confuse him with fellow sports analyst “Digger” Phelps.













Adrian is now a gym teacher at a middle school in Georgia.



Tom would sometimes secretly trade uniforms with his twin brother Tim while the two were in spring training for the Tigers.




Paul used to stare down every batter he struck out.




Greg’s nickname was “Pee Wee!”






The Braves later traded Craig to Toronto for Luis Leal, but neither player ended up playing a single game for their new teams






Tony’s daughter was a beauty queen.











“Wilson owned and operated a gas station in Conroe, Texas north of Houston. He was once famously told that he needed to improve his mechanics (meaning baseball skills) and replied by saying, ‘Why, I just gave all [of my] mechanics a raise!
.
Voodoos and Cocks


Fun Fact: There existed a long-running urban legend that Pedro put a voodoo hex on the Reds after they traded him in ‘79.

SPORTS QUOTES \ TRIVIA
Blogger presents recollections of Rev. Martin Luther King's sports
abilities and fondness for sports events and celebrities.
.
Martin Luther King: Sports Fan and Playground Athlete
.
It’s a big weekend in the sports world, with four NFL playoff games the marquee events, and we’re no doubt going to be reminded, in game telecast after game telecast, that it’s also a big weekend for the world at large — three days big, with Monday being Martin Luther King Day.

But that’s not the only connection between sports and Dr. King.

A year ago at this time I read a fascinating piece at AOL FanHouse by Terence Moore that has stayed with me. It delved into what Moore called the “hidden” side of MLK, which is an accurate description because while I’ve read a lot about King over the years, I did not know this: that he was a lifelong athlete and sports fan.
.
The story relies heavily on the remembrances of Andrew Young, a friend and associate of King’s who went on to be mayor of Atlanta, a Congressman and US ambassador to the United Nations.
.
Here’s Young on the reverend as a basketball player: “Martin was small, but he always wanted to play under the basket. He was very quick, and he could shoot with either hand, and so he had a lot of quick moves. He could fake you to the left or to the right, because he could dribble with either hand. He also had a little fallaway jump shot, which for somebody his size — it was always successful, because it was such a surprise.”
.
On King’s favorite participatory sport: “We all liked sports, Martin and the rest of us, because you had to when you grew up in Atlanta on Auburn Avenue.
.
He was good at sports. I mean, he could run, and he could shoot pool. Anything you learned at the YMCA, he did very well.
.
But the one sport that was the family sport for all of us was swimming. Herman Russell [a local Atlanta entrepreneur] had a pool at his house, and after Martin got a little too well known, we’d go over to Herman’s house and swim in his pool.”

On MLK’s use of sports to further his civil right case at a 1961 demonstration in Albany, Ga.: “We realized that Jackie Robinson was from Cairo, Ga., which was in the next county over from Albany, and there were some churches burned down there.
.
So Martin called Jackie , and he came down to visit us, and he also came with us to St. Augustine, Fla. That was very significant.
.
See, you have to remember that the three people who sort of defined our sports life were Jesse Owens, Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson, and most of the guys in the movement, well, we were all huge into sports.”
.
-----
.
Editor's note:
.
As a sports fan, I have to admit I learned for the first time from the
blogger's post that the civil rights leader, Rev. Martin Luther King,
had more than a political interest in sports - he actually participated
in and enjoyed sports as much as all sports enthusiasts have
participated in and enjoyed the world of sports during their lives.
.
Clearly, sports touch fans in every way, form and fashion, making,
in its own way, an impact on the lives of us all.

Excerpt from the source:

In Edwardian times, it was as common for literary London to meet at the batting crease as in the reading room. Conan Doyle, who used to hold a cricket week at home in Hindhead, was an accomplished batsman, and his protege, PG Wodehouse a useful medium-fast right arm bowler.
