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 Bra Saves A Life
.
A 24 year old Colorado woman saved her life by using her sports bra in an imaginative way. Jessica Bruinsma fell over the side of a cliff while hiking in the Bavarian Alps, it was only after three days that her tenacity and ingenuity led to her rescue from a remote mountain area in southern Germany.
.
When she fell on the 16th of June, she landed on a small overhang, where she was to remain for the next 70 or so hours, suffering from a dislocated shoulder and severe bruising. From the overhang she noticed a timber transit system, she attached her bra, which went down the slope and alerted a workman who contacted the police which led to a change in the area being searched.
.
Jessica was soon rescued, her sister Elana Bruinsma said "We're going to have a party for her every June 19, and give her some new bras."
