Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on being

a role model: "I wan' all dem kids to do what

I do, to look up to me. I wan' all the kids to

copulate me."



New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked

about the upcoming season: "I want to rush for

1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first.."



And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skin's say:

"I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl,"

Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on

his coach, John Jenkins: "He treat us like mens.

He let us wear earrings.."

"Nobody in football should be called a genius. A

genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."

smarter? He went to prison for three years, not

"I asked him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance

or apathy?' He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I don't care.'"



Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting

what he told a player who received four F's and one D:

"Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on

one subject."



In the words of NC State great Charles Shackelford: "I can

go to my left or right, I am amphibious."



Former Houston Oilers coach Bum Phillips when asked by

Bob Costas why he takes his wife on all the road trips,

Phillips responded: "Because she's too damn ugly to kiss

good-bye."

The Shackleford quote is my favorite.

A tip of the cap to the late, great Yogi Berra for some of his gems...
It ain't over till it's over
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
It's like déjà vu all over again.
You can observe a lot by just watching.
Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.
No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded.
The future ain't what it used to be.
If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else.
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.

Good work, coach

A couple of my favorites from the world of MLB:

Jaquin Andujar, on the verisimilitude of the sport:
“I can sum it up in one word - yaneverknow.”

Luis Polonia, upon his release from the NY Yankees after the 1996 season:
“This organization is only interested in one thing - and I’ll be damned if I know what it is.”
