Why Athletes Can't Have Real Jobs:

"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 'Redskins 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."

 

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."

 

Stu Grimson, Chicago Blackhawks left wing, explaining why he

keeps a color photo of himself above his locker: "That's so

when I forget how to spell my name, I can still find my

clothes."

regime of heavyweight Andrew Golota: "He's a guy who gets up

at six o'clock in the morning regardless of what time it is."

I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt."

 

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."

 

Amarillo High School and Oiler coach Bum Phillips when asked

by Bob Costas why he takes his wife on all the road trips,

Phillips responded: "Because she is too damn ugly to kiss

good-bye."

Of course!!!! you ever seen any of thos guys play?!!

Who said you have to be smart to play sports? I think those guys just prove the fact even more.

The very few athletes that I think deserve what they get paid are Wayne Gretzky ( his dedication and love of the sport and promotion and in his own league )

Michael Jordan ( in his own league )

Barry Bonds ( love him or hate him he is GOOD )

 

Some that don't deserve it:

Shaq (Big and Tall duh I could do as well as him if I was his size )

Some that don't deserve it:

 

Shaq (Big and Tall duh I could do as well as him if I was his size )

if you went from an intellectual stand point though, id be willing to bet shaq is one of the most intelligent people in the NBA...hands down. there are lots of guys in the NBA that are shaq's size, but they arent half the player he is.

I kinda liked Bum Phillips answer to bob costas

I dont think any of them should get payed as much as they do.. ( most sports players in general).

They are all overpaid. I mean come on, look at Terrell Owens new contract. They are all babies. whine and cry. Hey wait, if i whine and cry you think i could get a raise?

Good stuff!
