SinceThe70s Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm new to the board, been following for a while, thanks for the insights, angst and commiseration. After another rough season maybe some humor is in order and this board rarely disappoints. So whats your favorite sports quote? I'll start with the following from former Tampa Bay Bucs coach John McKay: Reporter: Coach, what do you think of your teams execution? McKay: I'm all for it.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 When Herb Brooks was coaching the US Olympic team in the Miracle on Ice year, they were training before the games started, and he turned to (future Sabre) Randy McClanahan, and in front of the whole team screamed, "McClanahan! You play worse every day and right now you're playing like it's next week!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like Greg Popovich's "Remember the Alamo" although I don't really know why and I'm not sure how it got so famous.

cdubya Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) I have always liked Patrick Roy responding to a quote from Jeremy Roenick by saying "I can't really hear what Jeremy is saying, my two Stanley cup rings are plugging my ears".
