Tug McGraw on his bonus-
"Ninety percent I'll spend on good times, women and Irish Whiskey. The other ten percent I'll probably waste."

George Best was hilarious


I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

He (David Beckham) cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right.

I've stopped drinking, but only while I'm asleep.

I used to go missing a lot...Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World.

Pretty much anything Tug McGraw said.
quote:

"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf." - Asked for a preference of grass or Astroturf

quote:

"I have no trouble with the twelve inches between my elbow and my palm. It's the seven inches between my ears that's bent."

quote:

"Kids should practice autographing baseballs. This is a skill that's often overlooked in Little League."

quote:

"Ninety percent I'll spend on good times, women and Irish Whiskey. The other ten percent I'll probably waste."

quote:

"Ten million years from now, when then sun burns out and the Earth is just a frozen iceball hurtling through space, nobody's going to care whether or not I got this guy out."

Greg Blache d-coordinator for the Skins is a quote machine. Here are some of his best.

Comments about Rookies

"Rookies are fine and dandy, and I'm glad to see them progressing," said Blache, an especially blunt coach. "But I don't fall in love with rookies. You're better to fall in love with a stripper than a rookie, because they'll break your heart. They really will. We will give them some time and let them prove themselves if they are worthy of it."

On Fred Smoot


"Too much coffee this morning," joked defensive coordinator Greg Blache. "I don't even know what Fred was saying half the time. We need a real translator for that, from the U.N."

About the Dallas game and being 11-point underdogs last year

“I’m not surprised,” Blache said. “This is like the Christians and the Lions at the Coliseum. ... We have to be one of those underdogs that finds a way to get it done. When we started this country, I bet the Colonists were underdogs to Britain too. We don’t speak the King’s English so there’s a chance for us.”

I think it was Mitch Williams was talking about female sport reporters and said something like "the only time I wanna be naked with a woman is if she's on top of me or I'm on top of her"

On being Nolan Ryan’s 5,000th career strikeout: “It gave me no chance. He (Ryan) just blew it by me. But it’s an honor. I’ll have another paragraph in all the baseball books. I’m already in the books three or four times.”


-Rickey Henderson

"I managed good, but boy did they play bad." -- Rocky Bridges.

But the greatest sports story ever is this:

Dick Hoak was managing in the minors and had to give his team a big pep talk before an important game. He gathered his players in the clubhouse and told them this:

"Boys, I just want to remind you that you're only this far away" [holds thumb and finger an eighth of an inch apart] "from major league pussy".
