Why some Athlete's can't have real Jobs
 

Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on being a role model: "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 'Skins 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." (now that is beautiful)

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 ." (This one is clever.)

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."

Lou Duva, veteran boxing trainer, on the Spartan training 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."

Chuck Nevitt, North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice: "My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt." (I wonder if his IQ ever hit room temperature in January)

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." ( My favorite)

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 ugly to kiss good-bye." (Dead man walkin' )

Ballplayers are rarely smart. I'd say 1 out of every 100 has an IQ over 100.

Reminds me of the character Brendon Fraiser played in Bedazzled...

Well you go out there and give it a hundred and ten percent....

Funny stuff... people say the most idiotic things sometimes! LOL

Way to pull numbers out of your ass. Lots of smart people play sports.

yup, that's why they are athletes. only got into college due to athletics.

and the really really stupid ones who couldnt even get into college via their athleticism are the cops. they had no choice.

Of course they do, but speaking as someone who knows a great deal of pro NFL and NBA players PERSONALLY I am basing my numbers on what I have noticed.

:1orglaugh TRUE

NBA players aren't exactly of the demographic that wants to grow up full of knowledge. :helpme

and this is why some people with jobs cant become real athletes :)

"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 ." (This one is clever.)"


I like this one. :1orglaugh :thumbsup

:1orglaugh Some great remarks..I would expect more of them from boxers

The good news is that they now have a chance to be President.

All famous people have that chance. The only reason they don't run is they are already famous and too rich to care.

Pity on this man!

take a webmaster on GFY for example

now I know why George W Bush became the president. :disgust

lol those are great
