WR Anquan Boldin


Didn't FSU even put him in at QB at some point in the game because of the INTs?

A couple local Phoenix locker room ones.
One time a local tv station went around the locker room asking players their favorite food. A lot of them said stuff like Lobster Newburg or a ribeye from Ruth Chris'. When they got to Antrell Rolle, he said, "Oh man, gotta be my mama meat spagetti."

And one time in the Phoenix Suns locker room, Joe Klein's very young son was going around picking up towels and putting them in the towel bin. Barkley tells Klein "Hey, that's good training for his janitorial career." Klein shot right back "He's gonna have to do something to support your daughter."

Soccer Legend George Best:

“In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol. It was the worst 20 minutes of my life”

“I spent a lot of money on Booze, Birds and fast cars. The rest I just wasted”

“If I had to choose between dribbling past 5 players and scoring from 40 yards at Anfield or shagging Miss World it would be a hard choice. Thankfully I have done both”

oward Cosell’s comment while watching a player return a kickoff for a TD on Monday Night Football, which got him into a heap of trouble:




“LOOK AT THAT MONKEY RUN !”



I was watching that night.
Later on, Cosell apologized for the comment, and good old Dandy Don Meredith said, "That's OK Howard, we still love you. you big ape."

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.


And of course, he was hit by lightning during a golf tournament.

They did. And he threw a perfect bomb to Talman Gardner in the endzone and he dropped it

Can't believe there haven't been more examples of Stengelese.


Casey Stengel was an incredible wordsmith.

“There comes a time in every man’s life, and I’ve had plenty of them.”

“Good pitching will always stop good hitting, and vice versa.”



My all time favorite was what he said to Bob Cerv in 1956:

“There's not many people that know this, but one of us has been traded to Kansas City."

Mickey Mantle, who was dying of liver disease, received a transplant. The surgeon who performed the operation had a post-surgery press conference where he was asked this question:

Reporter: Doc, when will we be able to interview the donor?

Surgeon: You're a sports reporter aren't you?

Another favorite, I don't remember the football coach, but when talking about his QB shoulder injury said "the doc says he has a torn labrum, I thought only girls had labrums."
