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!

Another post before the Olympics start
.
So the reality shows continued with Survivor starting a whole new season.
.
On the crying fatties, AKA The Biggest Loser;
the contestants went to the Olympic training center in Colorado.
.
How cheesy was that torch lighting?
.
Not only have the Olympics never been in Colorado, but they're starting for real in Canada this week.
.
They did footage of the fatties working out with the Olympic athletes.
.
It was hilarious how much the real athletes underestimated the fatties.
.
Oh hello, these people can actually lift 300 pounds.
.
They've been doing it all their lives.
They're not using helium balloons to get them off the toilet or couch.
.
Don't worry people, they still managed to get in all the in show advertizing.
.
God forbid they forget to schill the gum or ziploc bags.
.
This season, Bob and Jillian do not have specific teams.
I like this. It keeps them from influencing the votes.
.
The problem is, in order to get more camera time, they now want to be pseudopsychologists.
.
No wonder the contestants aren't losing as much weight this season;
the trainers talk with them too much.
.
They should be like the Marine Sergeants yelling, "Shut up and push!"
.
This show really needs to get new workout coaches. Bob and Jillian are not only not stars, but they're so 5 years ago.
.
Melissa proved she didn't throw her prior weighins by actually gaining a pound this week and getting immediately booted due to that darn red line.
.
Really? A weight gain?
.
Next time remember to poop before the weighin you dork.
