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”…
~Sneijder
.
.
Maradona:
.
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.”
~Wesley Sneijder.
.

.
“I can’t say what my granny said about the referee when he sent me off but they were some harsh words”
~Kaka’s
.
.

~Luis Fabiano
.
.
“God never sleeps, he knows who deserves success.”
~Cristiano Ronaldo
.
.
“It’s going to take us 25 years to win again if we carry on like this.”
~Fabio Cannavaro (Italy)
.
.
“Maradona is a nice guy but he can be a bit pesado [a pain, boring] . And I mean pesado in the nicest possible way.”
~Vicente del Bosque
.

.
“Luis Suarez’s hand was the Hand of God … and the Virgin Mary.”
~Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez
.
.
“What I saw from the English in their 1-1 draw against the United States had very little to do with football. English have gone backwards into the bad old times of kick and rush.”
~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.”
~David Villa

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.

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.

"I just stepped on the ice and threw my gloves in the air. I had no idea if we'd actually won or not. I was so nervous that it wasn't in. My heart was pounding. I was thinking in those first few seconds, 'If we end up somehow losing and I chucked my gloves off like I won the Stanley Cup, I am gonna kill Patrick Kane.''
-- Toronto Maple Leafs forward Kris Versteeg, on celebrating Kane's Cup-winning goal with Chicago last spring over the Philadelphia Flyers, despite not having seen it actually go in.

Bonus entry: Trash talk and come backs for the aging athlete.

"Yo mama" trash talk and come backs have been used by many aging

and retired athletes, many of whom, such as John McEnroe, Pete

Rose, and Mike Tyson, already have an arsenal that can bring tears

to the eyes of any adversary, including a Hulk Hogan or a Joan Rivers.

Many, however, are reserved or soft-spoken and may want to prepare

for the onslaught of "you're so old" attacks by adding trash talk and

come backs to their verbal repetoire.

Accordingly, for the latter group, the following ammunition is offered

to help subdue the hecklers who are ready to pounce at any time.

"YO MAMA IS SO OLD THAT...."
.
Yo mama so old I told her to act her own age, and she died.
.
Yo mama so old her social security number is 1!
.
Yo mama so old that when she was in school there was no history class.
.
Yo mama so old she has a picture of Moses in her yearbook.
.
Yo mama so old she knew Burger King while he was still a prince.
.
Yo mama so old she was a waitress at the Last Supper.
.
Yo mama so old her birth certificate is in Roman numerals.

BASEBALL QUOTES \ HUMOR

Use of the knuckleball in pitching
.
R. A. Dickey is one of two pitchers currently playing in Major League Baseball to use the knuckleball as a primary pitch.
.
When originally developed, the knuckleball was used by a number of pitchers as simply one pitch in their repertoire, usually as part of changing speeds from their fastball.
.
It is almost never used in a mixed repertoire today, however, and some believe that to throw the knuckleball effectively with some semblance of control over the pitch, one must throw it more or less exclusively. At the same time, pitchers rarely focus on the knuckleball if they have reasonable skill with more standard pitches, so knuckleball pitchers have become quite rare.
.
However, the knuckleball does provide some advantages to its practitioners. It does not need to be thrown hard (in fact, throwing too hard may diminish its effectiveness), and is therefore less taxing on the arm.
.
This means knuckleball pitchers can throw more innings than orthodox pitchers, and are able to pitch more frequently because they require less time to recover after having pitched.
.
The lower physical strain also gives them the potential for greater career longevity, as some have continued to pitch professionally well into their forties, such as Tim Wakefield, Tom Candiotti, and the Niekro brothers. In addition, some pitchers (such as Jim Bouton) have had success as knuckleballers after their ability to throw hard declined.
.
Hoyt Wilhelm, Phil Niekro and Jesse Haines, three pitchers who primarily relied on the knuckleball, have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Niekro was given the nickname "Knucksie" during his career.
.
Other prominent knuckleball pitchers have included Joe Niekro (Phil's brother), Charlie Hough, Dave Jolly, Ben Flowers, Wilbur Wood, Tom Candiotti, Bob Purkey, Steve Sparks, Eddie Rommel and Tim Wakefield.
.
During the 1945 season, with talent depleted by call-ups to fight in World War II, the Washington Senators had a pitching rotation which included four knuckleball pitchers (Dutch Leonard, Johnny Niggeling, Mickey "Itsy Bitsy" Haefner and Roger Wolff) who combined for 60 complete games and 60 wins, carrying the Senators to second place.

As of 2010[update], Wakefield of the Boston Red Sox and R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets[2] are the only knucklers in the big leagues, though minor leaguers Charlie Zink of the Rochester Red Wings and Charlie Haeger of the Albuquerque Isotopes also throw the knuckleball.
.
In November 2008 it was announced that 16 year old knuckleballer Eri Yoshida was drafted as the first woman ever to play in Japanese professional baseball for the Kobe 9 Cruise of the Kansai Independent Baseball League.
.
On March 2, 2010, she trained with Tim Wakefield at the Boston Red Sox minor league training facility.[3] and on April 8, 2010, she signed with the Chico Outlaws, debuting on May 29, 2010.[4]
.
Detroit Tigers reliever Eddie Bonine also throws a knuckleball, though he does so infrequently as compared to pitchers who use it as a primary pitch.
.
Lance Niekro, son of Joe Niekro, attempted to convert from a position player to a knuckleball pitcher. He started the 2009 season with the Gulf Coast League Braves but is currently listed as a free agent.
.
Quotes on the knuckleball:.
.
"They say you don't want to have a knuckleballer pitching for you or against you" - Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, quoted in Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, August 4, 1987.
.
"I always thought the knuckleball was the easiest pitch to catch. Wait'll it stops rolling, then go to the backstop and pick it up." broadcaster and former catcher Bob Uecker
.
"You don't catch a knuckleball, you defend against it." Retired Dodgers manager and former catcher Joe Torre
.
"Trying to hit against Phil Niekro is like trying to eat Jell-O with chopsticks". All-star outfielder Bobby Murcer
.
"I never worry about it. I just take my three swings and go sit on the bench. I'm afraid if I ever think about hitting it, I'll mess up my swing for life." All-star first baseman Dick Allen
.
"There are two theories on hitting a knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them works." famed hitting coach Charlie Lau
.
"You know, catching the knuckleball, it's like trying to catch a fly with a chopstick." All-star and Gold Glove catcher Jason Varitek
.
"If it's high, let it fly. If it's low, let it go." Common saying describing how to approach hitting the knuckleball.
.
"Throwing a knuckleball for a strike is like throwing a butterfly with hiccups across the street into your neighbor's mailbox." Hall of Famer Willie Stargell
.
"For a knuckleballer, a pitch count of 150 is not a problem. Unless it's the first inning." Dave Clark, author of The Knucklebook
.
"Like some cult religion that barely survives, there has always been at least one but rarely more than five or six devotees throwing the knuckleball in the big leagues... Not only can't pitchers control it, hitters can't hit it, catchers can't catch it, coaches can't coach it, and most pitchers can't learn it. The perfect pitch." Ron Luciano, former AL umpire
.
"Hitting Niekro's knuckleball is like eating soup with a fork." Richie Hebner
.
"You're not expected to hit it. [I am] expected to catch it." John Flaherty summing up his day catching Tim Wakefield in a spring training game against the Twins by relaying a comment made by fellow catcher Mike Redmond. Flaherty retired the next day.
.
"Knuckleballs suck." Geno Petralli after giving up four passed balls in one inning
.
"It's not a pitch to be mastered but only executed the best you can. Charlie Hough told me he learned the pitch in one day and spent a lifetime learning how to throw it for strikes." R.A. Dickey, knuckleball pitcher of the Mets, on the knuckleball.

Fattest Players in the Major Leagues
.
David Letterman years ago cited on his late night talk show a
major league pitcher, Terry Forster, so overweight that Letterman
coined the term "Big tub of goo" to describe him.
.
Such players today are nominated for GQ's Rich Garces Cup,
an award named for yet another obese pitcher, Rich Garces.
.
So, with humor, sit back and enjoy the slide show from GQ
on the fattest players in major league baseball.

.
Editor's note:
.
Hope springs eternal syndrome reigns here, as all males who have
ever seen a knuckleball thrown feel they can use that same pitch
to get into the majors, if they just had the time and wherewithal to
pursue the dream.
.
Similarly, every overweight male knows if Rich Garces or Ryan
Howard or David Wells can play the game, he can too, given the
time and the wherewithal.
.
So, while most baseball fans harbor that dream of playing in the
majors, they know one of the two variables in this post, knuckleball
pitching or the "big tub of goo" factor can be their ticket to playing
in the Show.
.
So even though the variables appear unrelated, both qualify as dream
world solutions to what many aspire to, so both are included in this
one post.

SOCCER QUOTES

Jose Mourinho quotes:
.
On former managerial rival Sir Alex Ferguson...
.
“Maybe when I am 60 and have been managing in the same league for 20 years, and have the respect of everybody, I will have the power to speak to people and make them tremble a little bit.”

(Sir Alex on Mourinho. “Forget the mind games. I like him. I think he sees himself as the young gunslinger who has come into town to challenge the sheriff who has been around a while.”)
.
Mourinho on taking over at Inter Milan...
.
“I studied Italian for five hours a day for many months to ensure I could communicate with the players, media and fans. Ranieri had been in England for five years and he still struggled to say ‘good morning’ and ‘good afternoon’."
.
---
.
"Pressure, what pressure? For me, pressure is bird flu – I’m feeling the pressure with the problem in Scotland. It is not fun and I’m more scared of it than football."
.
As we say in Portugal, they brought the bus and they left it front of the goal. I would have been frustrated if I had been a supporter who paid £50 to watch this game because Spurs came to defend."
.
"Why drive an Aston Martin all the time when I have a Ferrari and a Porsche as well."
.
"If I wanted to be protected in a quiet job, I could have stayed at Porto. I would have been second, after God, in the eyes of the fans, even if I never won another thing."

Note from editor:

Sports_nut is an old school music fan of the Funk music genre
and not too fond of the hip-hop \ rap genre.
.
UNTIL NOW!!!
.
That's right, folks. Youngsters (40 years old and younger) have
been asked over and over again, just what is that I'm hearing on
the radio - you kids really need to listen to James Brown and
Kool and the Gang for some killer dance music!
.
While some hip-hop \ rap music did appeal to me, I now know
what the youngsters are talking about, thanks to a new kind of
sports journalism presented on music videos by DJ Steve Porter.
.
From my day, I remember "cool" and from this day, I still hear
"cool" - that's what I use to describe the music videos that follow.
.
End of editor's note.

Confronting both his own limitations and the awesome power of nature's uncontrollable elements, Peter risks his life to save his sister, Annie, and her summit team in a race against time. The team is trapped in an icy grave at 26,000 feet - a death zone above the vertical limit of endurance where the human body cannot survive for long. Every second counts as Peter enlists the help of a crew of fellow climbers, including eccentric, reclusive mountain man Montgomery Wick, to ascend the chilling might of the world's most feared peak to save her.

Part I: Quotes from the movie Motorcycle Diaries
.
Plot Summary: Motorcycle Diaries (2004)
.
Twenty-three year old medical student Ernesto Guevara de la Serna - Fuser to his friends and later better known as 'Ernesto Che Guevara' - one semester away from graduation, decides to postpone his last semester to accompany his twenty-nine year old biochemist friend Alberto Granado - Mial to his friends - on his four month, 8,000 km long dream motorcycle trip throughout South America starting from their home in Buenos Aires. Their quest is to see things they've only read about in books about the continent on which they live, and to finish that quest on Alberto's thirtieth birthday on the other side of the continent in the Guajira Peninsula in Venezuela. Not all on this trip goes according to their rough plan due to a broken down motorbike, a continual lack of money (they often stretching the truth to gain the favor of a variety of strangers to help them), arguments between the two in their frequent isolation solely with each other, their raging libidos which sometimes get them into trouble, and dealing with Fuser's chronic asthma. But a chance encounter with a couple of Communists in the Chilean desert and an extended visit to the San Pablo Leper Colony in the Perúvian Amazon Basin among other things profoundly affects what each will want to do with his life and the bond each has with the other.

Part III: Earl Weaver quotes

.
But today, let's talk Weaver.
Let's talk about that bantam rooster with the cotton haircut who ran the Baltimore Orioles, made umpires' lives miserable, smoked Raleighs because he collected the coupons, won 108 games in the 1970 season and always, always, always preferred a three-run homer to something as overrated as, oh, strategy.

.
Earl Weaver, the 5-foot-6 manager of whom the 6-3 Palmer once said, "Did you ever notice Earl always goes to the highest spot on the mound when he comes out?"
.
Earl Weaver, who defended himself by saying, "I'd rather be small of stature than a mental midget."
.
Earl Weaver, who once was diagnosed with an elbow nerve disorder, then told the doctor, "I must have caught it from Jim Palmer."

After the Phillies won the 1980 National League Championship Series in the 10th inning of an 8-7 game filled with sensational plays, he said, "It was like riding through an art gallery on a motorcycle."

Part V: Baseball player quotes

.
Whitey Herzog on his pitchers: "It's like they're afraid they'll get the clap or something if they throw strikes."
.
This one is a gem about a "one sided conversation" an "oiled up Carty" is having with a woman on a non-chartered plane:
"They call me the B-E-E-E-G Boy...Ho Ho Ho. They say the B-E-E-G Boy no longer H-E-E-T and you know what I say? Horse S-H-E-E-E-T." Now gripping an imaginary bat and waving it in her face, Carty assures her, "The B-E-E-E-G Boy will H-E-E-T!"
.
Herzog on Carty: "Rico's crazier than a peach orchard sow."

FORUM ENTRY: I'll try to throw in a subcategory: Sporting News headlines.

The first one which comes to mind is this one from the Spring of 1949, which refers to the WWII experiences of Earl Rapp, who came up with the Tigers and White Sox for a cup of coffee that year:
SLUGGER RAPP, PINNED DOWN BY ENEMY FIRE,
VOWED TO LEARN TO HIT LEFTIES IF SPARED

When subjected to the tired truism "Ya can't win 'em all...",
manager Gene Mauch once retorted,
"Why the hell not?"

- Chris Kahrl.

.
"The worst thing about it is I can no longer see my penis when I stand up."
Babe Ruth, on getting fat.
.

.
During George Brett's 1980 Season:
.
"The only way to pitch him now is way inside, so you force him to pull the ball. That way, the line drive won't hit you."
Yankee pitcher Rudy May
.
"The way George Brett is hitting right now, God could have him down no balls and two strikes and he'd get a hit."
Umpire Steve Palmero
.
"I wouldn't go that far. If the Lord was up 0-2, He might get George out . . . but God better hit the black."
Hal McRae, Kansas City Royals
.
------
.
"...in the end it all comes down to talent. You can talk all you want about intangibles, I just don't know what that means. Talent makes winnners, not intangibles. Can nice guys win? Sure, nice guys can win -- if they're nice guys with a lot of talent. Nice guys with a little talent finish fourth, and nice guys with no talent finish last."
Sandy Koufax

.
Poker is a ragout of observation, deduction, intuition, good memory and common sense.

T.J. Cloutier, Championship No-Limit & Pot-Limit Hold `em (2004)

Poker is a stimulating psychological challenge, combining guts and detective work ... a world of its own, offering all the childish appeal of secret places, special languages and staying up late at night.
Victoria Coren
.
Poker is the new pornography. The Internet is awash with it ... it's banned in China and it's full of excitable Scandinavians.
Rick Dacey on InsidePokerMag.co.uk (2006)
.
Poker: The art of civilized bushwhacking.
Nick Dandolos, Gambling Secrets of Nick The Greek (1968)

.
Poker is a very social game, as long as you don't mind socializing with a tired, drunk and unshaven lot who'd like nothing more than to separate you from your money.
Phil Gordon

Poker is a ruthless game. You suck their blood, then go bowling with them afterward.
Jennifer Harman in USA Today (2003)
.
Poker is not a game in which the meek inherit the earth.

.
Poker is and always has been a way of harmlessly expressing man's most deep-rooted anti-social drives.

Poker is the ultimate combo of lottery and meritocracy.
Melanie McFarland in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2003)

John Skow in Time magazine (1990)

Poker is neither simple nor easy. It is a rough, tough game for the brave and free, designed to separate the mugs from their money. It merely poses as a friendly game of cards.

Now, go out and have a good time!"

Website presents Ceorge Carlin's take on a variety of sports.
.
Bowling is not a sport because you have to rent the shoes.
.
Boxing is not a sport. Boxing is a way to beat the shit out of somebody. In that respect, boxing is a more sophisticated form of hockey. But beating the shit out of somebody isn't a sport, in spite of what the police think. When police brutality becomes an Olympic event, fine, then boxing can become a sport.
.
Don't you find it funny that all these tough-guy boxers are fighting over a purse?
.
How come none of these boxers seem to have a losing record?
.
Gymnastics is not a sport because Romanians are good at it! Took me a long time to come up with that one, but by God, I thought of one.
.
Hockey is not a sport. Hockey is three activities going on at the same time: ice skating, playing with a puck, and beating the shit out of somebody.
.
It's never just a game when you're winning.
.
Running isn't a sport 'cause everybody can do it. Anything we can all do can't be a sport. I can run, you can run. My mother can run … you don't see her on the cover of Sports Illustrated, do you?

CRICKET QUOTES
Web site presents cricket quotes in a cricket sports movie released in 2001
.
Plot summary for the movie Lagaan (2001):
.
This is the story about the resilience shown by the Indians when they were under the British Rule.
.
They are already taxed to the bone by the British and their cronies, but when Jack Russell announces that he will double the Lagaan (tax) from all villagers, they decide to oppose it.
.
Leading the villagers is a handsome young man named Bhuvan, who challenges them to a game of cricket, a game that is to be played by veteran British cricket players, versus villagers, including Bhuvan himself, who have never played this game before, and do not even know a bat from a piece of wood.
.
As the challenge is accepted, the interest grows and attracts Indians from all over the region, as well as the British from all over the country - as everyone gathers to see the 'fair play' that the British will display against their counter-parts, who are aided by none other than the sister, Elizabeth, of Captain Rusell.

Once NFL divas find out about the soccer goal dancing, they

will make Roger Goodell work overtime in leveling fines

to counteract the new dance shenanigans the divas will dream up!

I can see some divas giving up game salaries to squeeze in their

dances after a winning touchdown is scored and laughing at

the fine at the same time!
