dem kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I wan' all the kids to copulate
me."

"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 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."

...........................................................

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.'

...........................................................

player who received four F's and one D: "Son, looks to me like you're spending
too much time on one subject."
