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!

SPORTS QUOTES

"It's one of those scenarios you feel will never happen to you. Nobody thinks they're going to be the one, whatever, to get in a car wreck to have their, you know, their kids killed in a plane crash, whatever, you don't think those things are going to happen to you. And I didn't think that I'd be traded. So."-- Bronson Arroyo on being traded to the Reds

"When I think of Minneapolis, I think of Prince."-- Georgetown coach John Thompson III, when asked his thoughts on the city that would play host to his team's Sweet Sixteen matchup with Florida

"I remember draft night, I shook David Stern's hand while rocking a red suit with white pinstripes and red gators … I've always been a trendsetter."-- Jalen Rose

"I think dropping 44 on Coolio one night."-- Roger Lodge on his career highlight in the NBA Entertainment League

"He's more like Jesus than I thought. Guys would be huddled around talking smack in the clubhouse and Roger walks in. It's like the parting of the Red Sea."-- Chipper Jones on what it's like to play with Roger Clemens

"Are you basing it on the regular season or the playoffs? I mean, it's hard to compare guys that have never been to the Finals to other players. If you gear yourself to play six months of the year, it's completely different than gearing yourself to play nine months a year. My whole focus was trying to gear myself to play nine months a year."-- Larry Bird, responding to Tommy Heinsohn's comment that Paul Pierce was the greatest offensive player in Celtics history

"Arousal-control has been an issue for me since the beginning of my career."-- Bode Miller

"What comes out of the microwave hot doesn't always stay hot. I know, because I eat bagels in the morning."-- Shaquille O'Neal, following the Heat's comeback win over the Celtics

"It was shock. You almost feel you have three or four innings to play, but you go home."-- Alex "Mr. March" Rodriguez after losing to Mexico in the WBC

"If someone saw me in the shower, they'd never think I was on the juice."-- Jason Schmidt

"He worries about what people say about him and he Googles himself."-- David Wells on Bud Selig

"I've won Player of the Month before. They don't ever give me anything for it. A new car, something, a plaque."-- Paul Pierce

"Because I want to have my arm in good shape, I need to have my legs in good shape. Without a leg, there is no arm."-- Pedro Martinez

"People say I'm a gold digger, but do you see me wearing gold? No. I'm wearing diamonds."-- Anna Benson

"It wasn't even close; I was awesome."-- Daryl Strawberry, on whether he saw any similarities between Mets' top hitting prospect Lastings Milledge and himself
