One of the best things about sports is that it takes people who have a deep specialty in their field but don't have any particular training in media management, and puts them on a podium and makes them talk. This gives us fantastic quotes that live on. Post your best sports quotes! Links encouraged but not required. Starter pack: Earl Weaver posted:"Team speed? For Christ sake. You get loving god dammed little fleas on the loving bases, getting picked off trying to steal, getting thrown out, taking runs away from you. You get them big cock suckers that can hit the loving ball out of the ball park, and you can't make any god damned mistakes."

Classics:Chuck LaMar, Rays GM posted:The only thing that keeps this organization from being recognized as one of the finest in baseball is wins and losses at the major league level Pat Williams, Orlando Magic GM posted:We can't win at home. We can't win on the road. As general manager, I just can't figure out where else to play. Jaques Planke posted:Goaltending is a normal job, sure. How would you like it in your job if every time you made a small mistake, a red light went on over your desk and 15,000 people stood up and yelled at you?

Coach John McKay had a few while dealing with the lovely, lovely 1970's Buccaneers:quote:Reporter: What went wrong with the defense? quote:R: What's it like in the professional ranks, coach? Anything special? quote:R: What do you think of your offense's execution tonight? quote:(mic'd on the sidelines) Well, we can't stop a pass or a run. Otherwise, we're in great shape! quote:(after the Buc's first win in 27 games) Hey, 3 or 4 plane crashes & we're in the playoffs!

McKay and Abe Lemons were pretty good. ESPN's obituary on McKay had a bunch of good ones, including: quote:"It was about three-to-one that I was not an SOB. But there were a lot of ones." --on fan mail he received as Tampa Bay coach quote:"If a contest had 97 prizes, the 98th would be a trip to Green Bay." Lemons, who most notably coached basketball at Texas: quote:Doctors bury their mistakes, but mine are still on scholarship. On his star player, who scored a single point quote:"You scored one point more than a dead man." Muhammad Ali quote:It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

quote:Sean Kelly, being interviewed after the ’84 Amstel Gold Race, spots his wife leaning against his Citroën AX. He interrupts the interview to tell her to get off the paintwork, to which she shrugs, “In your life the car comes first, then the bike, then me.” Instinctively, he snaps back, “You got the order wrong. The bike comes first.”
