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!

SOCCER QUOTES
Website presents 2010 World Cup Soccer quotes.
.
.
When Maradona was asked about his new beard. “I grew it because my dog almost ate my mouth and left me a big scar.”
.
It later emerges he had startled his Chinese shar pei, Bela, by trying to kiss it, and had to undergo plastic surgery.
.
“My daughters tell me I look good with a beard, so I’m keeping it.”
.
.
“Better than Messi: Schweinsteiger completes his masterpiece,” the paper published, adding that it was his “best game of the World Cup”.
~German newspaper -Welt
.
.
Joachim Low has insisted that he will continue to wear his trademark blue sweater throughout the finals, and will not be washing it.
.
“The thing with the sweater is that I am not driven by superstition,” he said today. “The other coaching staff said I should be wearing the sweater now because every time I wear it we score four goals.
.
“I am not even allowed to wash it now and I think I will wear it again.”
.
.
Dunga and Maradona : “A couple of idiots”…

Later confirms his newfound body confidence by revealing a plan to streak through Buenos Aires if it all goes well in South Africa. “If we win the World Cup, I’ll get naked and run around the Obelisk.”
.
Argentina secure a group-topping finish with a 2-0 win over Greece. Diego’s happy, but not with the ball.
.
“I would ask all Fifa directors to stop talking about me and to start working on having a proper football. This ball is useless. It’s impossible to control.”
.
“I am as sad as anyone, but I want to thank the whole Argentina team. I want these boys to stay strong, to keep showing who they are. I want them to continue debunking the myths that millionaire footballers don’t care.”
.
He defended goalless Lionel Messi (“anyone saying he didn’t have a great World Cup is an idiot”) and said he would now talk to his family before deciding whether to carry on.
.
“I could walk away tomorrow, but I don’t know. I’m going to be 50 on 30 October, and this is the hardest thing I have had to go through since the day I retired from football.
.
It was like a smack in the face from Muhammad Ali.
.
I am drained of strength, but will I leave? I really don’t know. We will see what the future holds.”
~Diego Maradona
.
.
“FIFA officiating does not meet North American standard as set in NHL, MLB, NFL.”
“Bush league Refs, with no instant reply.”
.
“Players who take dives should be thrown out of entire competition”
~(Many) unknown authors

“I prefer a calm coach on the bench like Van Marwijk, rather than an idiot like Maradona or Dunga.”

.
.
“I can’t say what my granny said about the referee when he sent me off but they were some harsh words”
~Kaka’s
.
.
“I’m not in favour of technology in football or a chip in the ball. The best thing about football is the controversy. But as for that England goal [against Germany] … even my granny could see that it was in. And she wears super-thick glasses.”
~Luis Fabiano
.

~Franz Beckenbauer
.
.
“We beat Germany two years ago and they will not be happy to meet us again. But we also have to forget that match. If we finish without the World Cup, it will be as if we have not done anything.”
