Quotations about Sports

I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out." Parents have to take better control. ~Charles Barkley
I think my favorite sport in the Olympics is the one in which you make your way through the snow, you stop, you shoot a gun, and then you continue on. In most of the world, it is known as the biathlon, except in New York City, where it is known as winter. ~Michael Ventre, L.A. Daily News
We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time. ~Vince Lombardi
The trouble with referees is that they just don't care which side wins. ~Tom Canterbury
When we played, World Series checks meant something. Now all they do is screw up your taxes.
