What would be the dumbest quote ever by an athlete? (read what outandup and knockout both said)

[Journeyman]

I`ll start with Mike Tyson, the childman (opposite of manchild

)


"Fade into bolivian" yes he said this...

and of course the infamous " I wanna eat his children

"

And they use to say Yogi had a way with words...

"Thank you GOD for blah,blah,blah" while be interviewed after any player has good game and it's getting too damn contagious,for crying aloud !!

Definately Tyson's "eat your children".

In a fight for a distant second -

Deion's "Jesus told me to stiff the repairman" is up there.
Arod's "It's not about the money"
Probably anything Ron Artest ever said.

 

[LEYKIS101]

"you know, you know, you know" a Lot of athletes.

 

[jerseymike111]

"Atleast we covered the spread"

 

[Journeyman]

TOM buddy ...I was listening to you earlier tonite on the radio, "you know"?

 

[kimchee]

How Do you Plead ? ...."ABSOLUTELY 100% NOT GUILTY " - O.J. SIMPSON

 

[Railbird]

Mitch the puppet Kupchack

The Kobe I know would never do a thing like that

 

[HABSMAN]

Sammy Sosa

"I only used that bat for practice"

 

[batman60]

Mike tyson in an interview from Prison

"You put a man in jail for 30 years, at 30K per to keep him there that's like 1.41 million dollars or something."

Same interview on where he will live when released

"On the Outskirts of Ohio"
I think that's another State Mike!

 

[kNOcKout_8]

Patrick Ewing during the NBA lockout... believe he was a player rep, and said "Sure, we make a lot of money but we spend a lot of money too".

splendid argument.

 

[outandup]

Not sure if this is exactly what he said but didn't Patrick Ewing during one of the NBA Holdouts/lockouts say "We make alot of money, but we spend alot of money"

 

[batman60]

Hundreds of Canadian NHLers each year

"It's our barn eh"

 

[blueedwards]

"i like eggs"

- larry holmes

 

[Journeyman]

Anyone else notice "outandup" and "Knockout" both replying at 9:50 am

Same answer

What are the odds of this happening 1 million to one

 

[kimchee]

That's SCARY ! I heard this from an unnamed reliable source .... When the director of nba entertainment asked CARL LEWIS to sing the natonal anthem , Lewis response was ..."NO PROBLEM ! "

Jackdee posted these by Beckham last month....HILARIOUS....


What with beck's recent transfer to Real Madrid and all the hype and publicity surounding it, i d thought i d share with you some of Beck's in his own words, on football, life and himself.

My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7"


"I remember so clearly us going into hospital so Victoria could have Brooklyn. I was eating a Lion bar at the time"

"Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had"

"We're definitely going to get Brooklyn christened, but we don't know into which religion!"

"I always used to go for blondes and quiet girls, but Victoria is the total opposite - dark and loud."

"Well, I can play in the centre, on the right and occasionally on the left side" -when asked if he thought that he was a volatile player

and a few others from premier league geniuses:

"I am not Pele or Maradona"
Robbie Savage
"I would not be bothered if we lost every game as long as we won the league"
Mark Viduka
(that one had me in stitches)
"I've never been thoughtful in my life and I'm not about to start now"
Alan Shearer
"I was watching the Blackburn game on TV on Sunday when it flashed on the screen that George Ndah had scored in the first minute at Birmingham. My first reaction was to ring him up. Then I remembered he was out there playing"
Ade Akinbyi
(another great this one, puts a whole new spin to the time/space/phone call continuum)

 

[Bitterlittleman]

another jewel from mike tyson:

"I BROKE MY BACK...ITS SPINAL"

 

[blueedwards]

this one had me and my friends laughing for a couple days:

plaxico burress when asked about the touchdown catch that wasn't in that atlanta overtime game last year:

"i got my left foot in but my right foot was out. it was kinda like the hocus pocus".
