WHY SOME ATHLETES CAN'T HAVE REAL JOBS: 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."
.................................................. .........
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."
.................................................. .........
And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skins 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."
.................................................. .........
Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John Jenkins: "He treats us like men. He lets us wear earrings."
.................................................. .........
Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann,
1996: "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."
.................................................. .........
Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh: "I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes." (now that is beautiful)
.................................................. .........
Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach: "You guys line up alphabetically by height." And, "You guys pair up in groups of three, then line up in a circle."
.................................................. .........
Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson hooking up again with promoter Don King: "Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to prison for three years, not Princeton."

.................................................. .........
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." (I wonder if his IQ ever hit room temperature in January)
.................................................. .........
Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player: "I told him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?' He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I don't care.'"
.................................................. .........
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."
.................................................. .........

Not surprising considering how many people cheat their way through high school and college. Add a few concussions and you have a moron.

There are some very smart athletes out there. But you are going to hear a lot more about the dumb ones. Either way, there's a 90 percent chance they're making more money than you.

Thanks for the read, very funny.

Reminds me of the Sport Illustrated advertisement that had a picture of Dick Butkus's (sp?) jersey with a byline that said, "He never wore an earring."

Thanks for the laugh Doc.

LOL...I just found this thread, don't know how I missed it.

At least there was only one baseball reference in it. :o Here in Boston, we have a member of my beloved Red Sox who'll remain nameless, that I'm sure has no clue what city he plays in and has spewed little gems from his mouth that could keep me typing for days. I'm quite sure that if he couldn't hit a baseball with regularity and as far as he does, the guy would be shining shoes in the train station of his home country.

Thanks for the laugh. :)

I've used this one twice already. Good stuff! :)
