Sports Quotes, Volume 3

Monday's w/ Michael

And now for the conclusion of humorous sports quotes:

Elvin Hayes, 6'10" Washington Bullets forward, asked in a hotel lobby if he was a basketball player: "No, I clean giraffe ears."

Ron Meyer, Indianapolis Colts coach known for his malapropisms, shrugging off his bold decision to start rookie Jeff George at quarterback: "It isn't like I came down from Mount Sinai with the tabloids."

Jason Kidd, Dallas Maverick No. 1 draft pick, on the Mavs' prospects: "Now that I'm here, we'll turn the program around 360 degrees."

Tracy McGrady, Magic guard, after being fined $10,000 for kicking a ball into the stands twice during a game: "That's a lot of money. I'll have to get me another autograph-signing session to pay that."

Danny Ainge, Portland Trail Blazer guard, claiming that his reputation as a complainer is undeserved: "Actually, I'm not a complainer. I'm a whiner."

And now for my favorite sports quote:

Shaquille O'Neal: "The people who know me, they know what time it is. They know what the Diesel has come here to do. Period. P-U-R-E-U-D. Period."

Make it a great week!
