Funny things said by Sports Figures

 I did one of these before a month ago and everyone loved it. It is amazing what people will say when a microphone is put in front of them. When I read these quotes, I knew that I had to share them with all the people here in ActiveRain and for that matter, anyone that reads my BLOGs. (That would be everyone in the world, right? Just Kidding) Anyways, I hope that you get as much laughter out of these as I did.

PS, if you do not understand any of them, contact BLR GUY and he can explain each one, LOL. 

 

  • "I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body." -- Winston Bennet, former University of Kentucky basketball forward.

     

  • "There's a hard shot to LeMaster -- and he throws Madlock into the dugout." -- Jerry Coleman, Padres announcer

     

  • "The wind always seems to blow against catchers when they are running." -- Joe Garagiola

     

  • "Wish: To end all the killing in the world. Hobbies: Hunting and fishing." -- California Angel Bryan Harvey (flashed on a scoreboard during a game).

     

  • "People think we make $3 million and $4 million a year. They don't realize that most of us only make $500,000." -- Pete Incavigila, baseball player for the Texas Rangers.

  • "A lot is said about defense, but at the end of the game, the team with the most points wins, the other team loses." -- Isaiah Thomas, commentating on an NBA game. Bob Costas replied with just, "Uh...well...ok."

Jeff, there is no telling when it comes to Brittney Spears.

Danny - I think my favorite in this group of quotes is the last one, from Don Zimmer.  Funny stuff!

Jason, they really should have a publicist speak for them.

Hi Danny, I know almost nothing about sports BUT I DID get the jokes...they were so funny....

12/05/2007 03:21 PM by Aggie Networking Kay Perry, A&M Class of '94 & '97 (Classic Realty, Inc./GMAC)


As usual... very funny stuff.  My dad has a book (bathroom reading) that is just this.... sports quotes.  It's a huge book and very funny.

Thanks for the smile.

12/05/2007 03:47 PM by Martin Abeshaus (ZIPVO)


Martin, I have read similar books to that. It is a great book for the Bathroom.

Kay, sorry thatg I skipped over you. In my haste, I went to the last comment. With jokes like these, you don't need to understand sports.

12/05/2007 04:34 PM by Danny Thornton (Home America Mortgage, INC.)


Susie, you know if it says funny, it is going to be if it is mine.

12/05/2007 09:03 PM by Danny Thornton (Home America Mortgage, INC.)


These were good as usual. It's no wonder Sam Rutigliano's team lost...he didn't know what game he was playing :)

And what else could one say about good 'ole Popeye (Zimmer, for those that don't know his nickname)!

12/05/2007 09:50 PM by Cris Burlew, Broker ~ St Pete Beach FL Real Estate (Beach & Luxury Realty, Inc.)


Don was a blast to watch as a coach. I still remember him and Pedro tieing it up.

12/05/2007 09:57 PM by Danny Thornton (Home America Mortgage, INC.)


You know Danny there are a very select few who entertain me in regards to sports...you're one of them! :)  That's a great post!

12/05/2007 09:59 PM by Shannon Lefevre Naples, Florida CRS (John R. Wood REALTORS Inc.)


Shannon, you made my night. Now, I just wonder if your cowboys are storng enough.

12/05/2007 10:00 PM by Danny Thornton (Home America Mortgage, INC.)


As you know Danny,athletes aren't the brightest light bulbs in the box...thanks for sharing!

DANNY:  These comments are pretty funny.  I think that you could do a series on John Madden.  He is filled with these obvious statements.  Joe Namath is another one that comes to mind.

12/06/2007 07:29 AM by Adam Waldman - Long Island REALTORĀ® (RE/MAX Best)


Rick, if you have seen some of the United Way commercial, you see that statement stand out.

Adam, you could add Yogi Berra to that group too.

"When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to." -- John Madden  Danny you should come out with a book. nice post. Madden could fill the first 4 chaptrers...

David, I am currently writing one right now, but it is not comcial like this.
