Favorite Sports Quotes

Shaq had a gem on Karl Malone I heard on the radio this morning. Something to the effect of:

I wish I had a mentor like him when I came into the league. But I had no one. I came into this league butt-naked, I had to raise myself. I'm the Tarzan of the NBA."

I laughed my ass off at that one. So whattya got?

"I've been phoning night and morning
I heard you say tell him I'm not home
Now you're confessing, but I'm still guessing
I've been your fool for so so long
Girl don't lie, just to save my feelings
Girl don't cry, and tell me nothing's wrong
Girl don't try to make up phony reasons
I'd rather leave than never believe

If this is it
Please let me know
If this ain't love you'd better let me know
If this is it
I want to know
If this ain't love baby, just say so"

[BoondockSaint]

When the Bulls were playing the Jazz in the finals, Karl Malone missed a cruicial freethrow. While he was getting ready to take the second one, Scotty Pippen walked by him and said, "I guess the Mailman doesn't deliver on Sundays."

In 1994, after the eighth seeded Denver Nuggets upset the #1 seeded Seattle SuperSonics, an interviewer asked Detlef Schrempf how he felt after his Sonics lost. He just walked past the interviewer and said "Get the fuck away from me."

"Foreign wrestling matches are a lot like foreign films; no one really understands 'em, but they don't want strangers to think they're stupid, so they rave about them and turn their noses up at anyone who says otherwise."

[Shecky]

The black is the better ath-a-lete. It goes back to the civil war dring the slave period, the slave owner would breed his big black with his big woman so that he would have a big black kid, that's where it all started.
-Jimmy the Greek


Look at the little monkey go!!!
-Howard Cossell


"Personally, I like to play in the heat. It's easier for me. It's easier for most Latin guys and easier for most minority people. You don't find too many brothers in New Hampshire and Maine and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, right? We were brought over here for the heat, right? Isn't that history? Weren't we brought over because we could take the heat? Your skin color is more conducive to the heat than it is to the light-skinned people, right? You don't see brothers running around burnt and stuff, running around with white stuff on their ears and nose and stuff."
-Dusty Baker

[blakjeezis]

I've said it before, and I think it's not only one of the greatest sports quotes of all time, I think it's one of the best, cleverest quotes of all time, period. I just don't remember who said it. I think it was Vin Scully.
"Baseball fans use statistics much the same way drunks use lampposts; more for support than illumination."

I have that sound clip on my desktop. Fucking classic!

How about Ricky Henderson to John Olerud when they both played for the Mariners on wearing the helmet in the field:

"I used to play with a guy with the Mets who did the same thing"
(Olerud and Henderson were teammates on the Mets)

I love that movie! I love it when a reporter asked Muhammed Ali just what exactly he didn't like about George Forman and his response:

"He talks too much!!"

Rickey Henderson while on the Mariners after his stint with the Mets (this is paraphrasing):

Rickey: Hey, why do you wear a helmet to play in the field?

John Olereud: I just always have.

Rickey: some guy on my team last year did the same thing.

John Olereud: That was me.

probably started with talking about himself in the third person, and then just peaked during the whole thing with his (half) sister and some rape charges ...

Yogi Berra is definitely the King of sports quotes. I'm too lazy to read this entire thread, so if these have been said already, my apologies:

Of course, there: "De ja vu, all over again."
and another Berra favorite: "There's so many unforgettable memories, you can't remember them all."
