SPORTS QUOTES
August, 2007
"Huge scandals are rocking all three major sports right now: the NFL with Michael Vick, of course, the NBA with the gambling thing, baseball with steroids … I'll tell you, scandals can kill a sport. Remember hockey? I don't think hockey ever recovered from that Jason guy stabbing everybody." — Jay Leno.
"Non-Doping Cyclists Finish Tour De France." — Headline on theonion.com, one month after the Tour ended.
"Did you hear his excuse? He said, `The bitch set me up.' " — Jay Leno, on Michael Vick.
"Let's not rush to judgment. Maybe he had a good reason for electrocuting and shooting those dogs. Maybe they were conspiring to kill him." — Talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel.
"As anyone can plainly see, I'm 5-6 1/2 and a strapping 150. And unlike some people, I came by all of it naturally." — Broadcaster Bob Costas, after Barry Bonds called him "a little midget man."
"When we lose, I blame the referees anyway." — Golden State Warriors guard Baron Davis on why the Tim Donaghy gambling scandal won't cause him to scrutinize NBA referees any more closely.
