BobbyC81 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Jim Valvano: “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.” I try and follow that One year I was in a Fantasy Football League and was only seemingly mathematically still in it. Another guy with the same record said “Well, we’re both out of it.” He quit while I continued to manage my team. Not only did I make the playoffs, I won the league. In general, just about anytime I get frustrated with something and think about giving up, I remember that quote and try to push through. Another one is Jim Mora’s infamous “Playoffs?!” rant. Anytime a team I follow is just about eliminated from playoff contention but someone says they’re still alive for the playoffs, I think of Mora. Like the Sacramento Kings this year. They get to play an additional 8 games because they’re only 3.5 games behind the 8th place team. Playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaoloBillsFanFromItaly Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 "Mamma butta la pasta!"

He used to say the famous catchphrase at the decising moment of the game, even if there was still time to play, the game was over and everyone could tell their mom they would be ready to have lunch!

BisonMan Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Marv on Buffalo weather - "When it's too tough for them, it's just right for us!" One of my personal favorites came from tennis broadcaster Bud Collins. While calling a McEnroe match in the 80's, "Lendl hit's a sharp angled forehand across to McEnroe's backhand side, which he returns with an even sharper angle to win the point. It's pythagorean!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Know Marv Albert's "YES! and it counts" on Knicks games.. is classic I hate "yes and it counts!" Makes no sense. Yes means "it went in," so of course it counts. Still, for Marv it's his signature call, and being known for a call is a cool thing. My favorite is "Shaw is right!"

Golden*Wheels Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) I mean, it ain't a slogan, but it's the only piece of poetry that ever stuck with me: “Fight on my men, Sir Andrew said I am hurt, but I am not slain; I'll lay me down and bleed a-while, And then I'll rise and fight again.” Life is kind of like being a Buffalo Bills fan right? It might crap all over you sometimes. But you have to get up and keep going. Maybe you'll make your goal, maybe you won't. But you have to keep trying.
