Quote of the Day: 1/14/09

This is entirely unrelated to sports, but I was reading this article on cracked.com. The hilarious quote in question was a subtitle for one of the photos:

"Are stereotypes still wrong when they're awesome?"

Quote of the Day: 1/11/09

This one comes from my girlfriend. She was on her computer and passively watching the Eagles/Giants game this afternoon when she said:

"That Philadelphia guy looks like a walrus."

"That Philadelphia guy" was, of course, Andy Reid. I'm not really sure where she's coming from though.

A walrus? I just don't see it.

I got my new issue of Sports Illustrated today and there's a great quote by Panthers LB Jon Beason in the Pop Culture Grid section. When asked what celeb he'd like to see take it easy in 2009 he replied:

"The Dallas Cowboys. All that off-the-field stuff and hearing about them in the media. I'm tired of it. they're like five-year-olds who say 'I'm mad he didn't come to my birthday party!'"

Right on Jon. The Cowboys are a bunch of crybabys. The entire organization, from Jerry Jones on down. This team needs a serious shot of chemistry. Pacman's gone and Tank Johnson should be out too. Now all they need is to oust T.O., bring in a coach that can inspire and unite and Jerry Jones needs to step back and let his players and coaches do their thing.

Everyone on that team spends way too much energy placating Owens. If they got rid of him Romo would finally be able to take over and make it his team. Not going to happen with JJ in charge, though. The city of Dallas wants winners, not whiners.

Today's quote comes from Bill Simmons' Sports Guy: Award-sinning Picks for round 2 article posted on ESPN today.

Simmons is defending a joke he wrote about Philip Rivers dropping f-bombs. Apparently Rivers is a devoutly religious person who prides himself on never swearing. Needless to say, Simmons got a lot of angry emails from fans:

"Here's a typical e-mail, courtesy of Roger in San Diego: "Have you ever heard Philip Rivers use the F-word? Have you ever met anybody who ever heard Philip Rivers use the F-word? Didn't think so. Your statement that Philip Rivers would be pacing the sidelines yelping out F-bombs is unfair, and quite frankly, nothing less than irresponsible journalism. It's almost as though you feel you have carte blanche to just make things up and put them in print." Irresponsible journalism? Who said I was a journalist? I just advised Joe Buck to become a drunk a few paragraphs ago!"

That one gave me a chuckle.
