--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now for our ongoing.... "THINGS I THINK ABOUT................."

 

                                             GREAT SPORTS QUOTES...................

 

 Don Meredith, Dallas Cowboys Quarterback once said:

“Coach Tom Landry is such a perfectionist that if he was married to Raquel Welch, he would expect her to cook.”

 

Harry Neale, professional hockey coach:

"Last year we couldn't win at home and we were losing on the road. My failure as a coach was that I couldn't think of any place else to play.”

 

Reggie Jackson commenting on Tom Seaver:

"Blind people come to the ballpark just to listen to him pitch."

 

Doug Sanders, professional golfer:

"I'm working as hard as I can to get my life and my cash to run out at the same time. If I can just die after lunch Tuesday, everything will be perfect."

 

Mickey Lolich, Detroit Tigers pitcher:

"All the fat guys watch me and say to their wives, 'See, there's a fat guy doing ok. Bring me another beer.'"

 

Tommy LaSorda , L A Dodgers manager:

"I found out that it's not good to talk about my troubles. Eighty percent of the people who hear them don't care and the other twenty percent are glad I'm having them."

 

E.J. Holub, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker regarding his 12 knee operations:

"My knees look like they lost a knife fight with a midget."

 

Vic Braden, tennis instructor:

"My theory is that if you buy an ice-cream cone and make it hit your mouth, you can learn to play tennis. If you stick it on your forehead, your chances aren't as good.”

 

Walt Garrison, Dallas Cowboys fullback when asked if Tom Landry ever smiles:

"I don't know. I only played there for nine years."

 

Bum Phillips, New Orleans Saints coach, after viewing a lopsided loss to the Atlanta Falcons:

"The film looks suspiciously like the game itself."

 

Al Hrabosky, major league relief pitcher:

“When I'm on the road, my greatest ambition is to get a standing boo."

 

Paul Horning, Green Bay Packers running back on why his marriage ceremony was before noon:

“Because if it didn't work out, I didn't want to blow the whole day."

 

Lou Holtz , Arkansas football coach:

"I have a lifetime contract. That means I can't be fired during the third quarter if we're ahead and moving the ball."

 

Knute Rockne, when asked why Notre Dame had lost a game:

"I won't know until my barber tells me on Monday."

 

Bill Walton, Portland Trail Blazers:

"I learned a long time ago that 'minor surgery' is when they do the operation on someone else, not you."

 

George MacIntyre, Vanderbilt football coach surveying the team roster that included 26 freshmen and 25 sophomores:
