Why some athletes should let their agents do the talking

Mustang Sally

Sells seashells by the seashore
Don't know about the rest of you, but I love this kind of stuff.


1. Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on being a role model:
"I wan' all dem kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I wan' all the kids to copulate me."


2. New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked about the upcoming season:
"I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first."



3. And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skin's say:
"I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl,"
Matt Millen of the Raiders said: "To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too."




4. Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John Jenkins:
"He treat us like mens. He let us wear earrings."



5. Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann:
"Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."



6. Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh :
"I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes."




7. Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach:
"You guys line up alphabetically by height..,"
And, "You guys pair up in groups of three, and then line up in a circle."




8. Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson going to prison:
"Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to prison for three years, not Princeton ..."



9. Stu Grimson, Chicago Blackhawks left wing, explaining why he keeps a color photo of himself above his locker:
"That's so when I forget how to spell my name, I can still find my clothes."



10. Lou Duva, veteran boxing trainer, on the Spartan training regimen of heavyweight Andrew Golota:
"He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning, regardless of what time it is."



11. Chuck Nevitt , North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice:
"My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt."



12. Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player:
"I asked him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?'
He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I don't care."




13. Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a player who received four F's and one D:
"Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject."



14. In the words of NC State great Charles Shackelford:
"I can go to my left or right, I am amphibious."



15. Former Houston Oilers coach Bum Phillips when asked by Bob Costas why he takes his wife on all the road trips,
Phillips responded: "Because she's too ugly to kiss good-bye."
 
I actually think 9 is pretty smart. What if he gets concussion and forgets his name? I'm sure someone would show him to his locker but still
 
Funny stuff, Sally. One or two of them are actually pretty witty.

If I could add to those, previous Springbok-coach, Peter de Villiers, dropped these gems during his tenure:

Defending Schalk Burger's eye-gouge on Luke Fitzgerald: "We have brilliant players in
this country, most of them world-class. We do not
prepare them to do things you would see in the
bush veld. If you want to eye-gouge a Lion, that is
where you go."


Later on, P Divvy strikes again with regards to the same incident: "Do we really respect the game? If not, why not go to the nearest ballet shop, buy a tutu and enjoy it? There will be collisions in rugby."

Before the world cup, the Boks were coming undone and De Villiers had this to say about his own abilities as a coach: "If I am the weakest line then we are bloody strong. I am a God- given talent. I am the best I can ever be. I know what I am and I don't give a damn."

When fielding rumours of a sex tape of him: I think I should walk away from this job and give it back to the whites.”

After losing a test against New Zealand: “If you look at the Bible and see how Joseph got out of the pit and ended up in the palace, but between the pit and the palace there was a moerse lot of kak.”

As if that's not enough, just listen to the man speak! His thin and raspy voice coupled with a great moustache makes for the fun times.

What about those with a God-given lack of talent?

That was one of the things that made me question the "wisdom" of Tim Tebow.

When he threw a touchdown pass, he'd get down on one knee to give thanks to God, explaining that God gave him the talent to do it.

But when he threw an interception, why didn't he take a knee then? Wasn't God responsible for the talent that caused him to fail in that situation?
