Sports quotes...the not so smart ones...

[Happy Hippo]

Going through my computer to clean out some files and came across a few funny ones...feel free to add some - I'm sure there are PLENTY more


"I have to be assertive, and if the ball doesn't go in, it gives us a good rebounding opportunity."
--Kobe Bryant on why he shoots so much Dec 9, 2005

"I don't have to worry about what people think of me, whether they hate me or not. People hated on Jesus. They threw stones at him and tried to kill him, so how can I complain or worry about what people think?"
--Terrell Owens, comparing himself to Jesus July 20, 2005

"I didn't say anything. Got nothing to say. I'm a married man; I don't need a relationship with another man."

"Why would I want to help them win a title? They're not doing anything for me. I'm at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed."

Agent - Is it just random that you had to find just quotes by Nuggets players?

Here's one for you from your boy Peyton: "I don't really even like the word 'agent,' to tell you the truth."

"Anyway, was paired with a nice man and his 5th grade son. They were a blast.Weather was overcast and about 55 degrees with a light mist and fog, JUST like Scotland! You could see the ball for about 180 yards, but couldn't see it land most times. I had to trust my yardage book and caddie for things to aim at. I sure got some great bounces thanks to his local knowledge! I hit one shot on a par 3 40 yards right of the pin, (30 yds right of the green!) and when we arrived at the hole, there was my ball, about 8 ft for birdie! I birdied #1 and #3, and got to 2 under, and had visions of something special, but in the end the greens were too much for my rusty game. I got on the wrong side of a few pins and the result was an ugly 5 3-putts, and a retarded double bogey leading me to a 79 (37-42)."
