- Jimy Williams during the press conference to announce him new manager of the Red Sox in the fall of 1996.

Needless to say the cruel Boston media gave that quote a LOT of mileage.

Not that it really amounts to anything, but I have used that phrase, albiet changing the word "ass" for the word "booty" since I was in high school back in the 60's!!!...


And believe me, I'm not picking on you, but this also caught my eye:

...because heavy fog rolled in off the banks of Lake Erie.

Actually, rivers have "banks"...lakes have "shores"...

But hey, who's counting???...

LMAO.....you're right.

I guess "The Can" rubbed off on me! :haha:haha

Red Sox pitcher, Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd said this gem after a 1986 Red Sox-Indians game was called after five innings, because heavy fog rolled in off the banks of Lake Erie.

And believe me, I'm not picking on you, but this also caught my eye:

The question is, was the game in Cleveland or Boston, knowing Oil Can it was probably in Boston !

Bubby Brister - blamed a home loss at 3 Rivers Stadium on the "cold wind coming off the lake".

 

[geonaz]

Heard one of the sports guys on ESPN talking about the Oklahoma - Texas Tech game. He said, "Oklahoma wins its games by outscoring their opponents." Silly me, I thought everybody knew that. Can any one tell me which team won a game by not out scoring the other team? I am talking football here, not golf.

McNabb

I've never been a part of a tie, didn't even know it was in the rules. We were getting ready to get another shot to go out and win the game, and unfortunately with the rules, we ended up with a tie

GM, Phil Savage has a Meltdown

Not sure if this has made national news, but shortly after the Browns win over the Bills last Monday Night, GM Phil Savage responded to a critical fan email. Read the exchange below.....

You are easily the worst GM in the NFL. Chud, Crennel and Tucker should
NOT have jobs. How the hell do you play prevent defense the entire
game? How do you NOT use Jerome Harrison more? Why the hell would you
throw the ball with 6 minutes left? This is officially a regime that is
worse than Butch Davis'. By the way, just like last week - this email
was written while the Browns still had the lead.

Chris Collington(?) commenting on Donovan McNabb -

"Last week he learned that teams can tie, this week he learned that you can lose by halftime."

Frank Caliendo on the "Fox NFL Sunday" pregame show.

Doing a Dr. Phil impression, Caliendo said:

"Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola flipped off Lions fans at a home game. What were you thinking? No not Dominic. But what were those guys thinking being Lion;'s fans?..."

And on PETA naming the best and worst stadiums for vegetarians:

"The worst stadium was in Detroit, where Lions actually get slaughtered each week,"

A fan to a man selling Obama shirts outside Ford Field (home of the Detroit Lions) after the game: "He said there was going to be change....He lied."

LMAO!!! Might possibly be THE best t-shirt/location ever!
