When the New York Mets were born


An announcer back then commented on the Mets:

“They play for fun, they’re not capable of playing for anything else”.

More about the Tom Landry - Walt Garrison relationship

quote:

“Asked if he’d ever seen Tom Landry smile, Walt Garrison famously said, `No, but I’ve only been here nine years.'”

3rd string FSU QB Fabian Walker had just thrown his third interception against UGA in the 2003 Sugar Bowl. When he came off the field WR Anquan Boldin went to him and said "Fabian, if you'll tell me which one of those safeties you're throwing to I'll try to intercept it"

John McKay, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Reporter - “What do you think of your team’s execution coach?” McKay - “I’m in favor of it.”

First one that came to mind when I opened the thread.

“Even God can’t hit a 1 iron.” — Lee Trevino



Wasn't the full quote something like "if you ever find yourself on a golf course on the middle of a lightning storm, just hold up a 1 iron. Even God can't hit a 1 iron."

This is a good thread.

In 1990, Michael Jordan scored sixty-nine points in one game. The same night, his rookie teammate Stacey King came in late in the game and hit a single free throw. In the post-game press conference, the reporters buzzed around Michael Jordan. But Stacey King managed to squeeze in one zinger. He told the reporters,

“I will always remember this as the night that Michael Jordan and I combined to score seventy points.”

In the '70's when Texas was playing in the Sun Bowl, a running back was interviewed to give his thoughts on playing in the bowl. He said "ain't nothing in El Paso but cockroaches and Mexicans".

"Sometimes they write what I say, not what I mean." -Pedro Guerrero

"Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." - Joe Theismann

And there was a funny quote back when Theismann changed the pronunciation of his last name from THEESman to rhyme with the Heisman Trophy. When he lost someone was quoted as saying "How do you pronounce Heismann? Plunkett."

After his playing days, Lynn Swann was working as a commentator. He was interviewing Terry Bradshaw before a game.
Swann "Terry, what do the Steelers have to do today to beat the Cowboys?"
Bradshaw(with a grin)"We're going to have to outscore them"

Mike Leach on TAM:

quote:

As his team raced onto the field, he gazed into the stands filled with screaming fans and wondered about the several thousand "cadets" from Texas A.&M. clustered in one end zone. They wear military uniforms and buzz cuts, holler in unison and stand at attention the entire game. "How come they get to pretend they are soldiers?" he asked. "The thing is, they aren't actually in the military. I ought to have Mike's Pirate School. The freshmen, all they get is the bandanna. When you're a senior, you get the sword and skull and crossbones. For homework, we'll work pirate maneuvers and stuff like that."

Four pages and not a single Larry legend mention. Bird won the 1990 3pt contest, but was injured in 1991 and was unable to compete. Craig Hodges wins it that year, so a reporter asks Hodges if it really counted since bird didn't participate. Hodges responds "when Larry is healthy, he knows where to find me." Bird was asked about that quote and responded by saying "I know where to find him. At the end of the bulls bench."

Dude was ruthless.
