Charles Barkley Quotes

29 10 2008

by MIchael DeLuca

He entered the league as “The Round Mound of Rebound” and left as “Sir Charles.”  In 1993 he was the NBA’s Most Valuable Player and in 2006, he was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.  Yet, despite all of his on court exploits, it’s his off-court antics that have entertained us the most.  With the NBA season tipping off last night and Barkley resuming his role as TNT’s “Most Colorful” Commentator, what better time than to make a top 20 list of my favorite Charles Barkley quotes. 

20. Ernie: “Auburn is a pretty good school. To graduate from there I suppose you really need to work hard and put forth maximum effort.”
Charles: “20 points and 10 rebounds will get you through also!”

19. “I think that the team that wins game five will win the series. Unless we lose game five.”

18. The goal of the ‘92 Olympic Dream Team when playing Panama: “To get the Canal back.”

17. After throwing a guy through a 1st floor window in a bar fight, Charles in court…
Judge: “Your sanctions are community service and a fine, do you have any regrets?”
Charles: “Yeah I regret we weren’t on a higher floor”

16. “My family got all over me because they said Bush is only for the rich people. Then I reminded them, ‘Hey, I’m rich’.”

15. “These are my new shoes. They’re good shoes. They won’t make you rich like me, they won’t make you rebound like me, they definitely won’t make you handsome like me. They’ll only make you have shoes like me. That’s it.” Read the rest of this entry »





The Rules of Bedroom Golf:

5 09 2008

1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally one club and two balls.

2. Play on course must be approved by the owner of the hole.

3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and keep the balls out.

4. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.

5. Course owners reserve the right to restrict club length to avoid damage to the hole.

6. Object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until the owner is satisfied play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied permission to play again. Read the rest of this entry »





Funniest Letter EVER!

3 09 2008

It takes some insanely good humor to make me laugh out loud from the written word, but the following letter made me do just that.  And since motorcycling can be considered sport, I figured it’s not too much of a reach to include it on this site.  It does contain some adult language, but it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever read and I thought you might enjoy.

Dropping Anchor: A Group I Wouldn’t Want To See Walking Out

16 08 2008

Figures in sports can be a lot of things when you see them in public. They can invoke a feeling of awe, and they can make you smile. They can elicit negative feelings when they blow you off, or they can make you change your mind about previously held perceptions. What they usually don’t do is horrify you. Think it can’t happen, you say? Well there are some examples: Mike Tyson in an ally way, Hollis Thomas in a buffet line, Nick Mangold watching a re-run of a fictional “Viking Quest” (doesn’t the guy look like a Viking?), or Sal Fasano on a beach sans shirt. But quite simply the most horrifying thing you could ever see are the following ten people leaving a bathroom stall sweating profusely with a newspaper under their armpit and moaning like Bing Crosby : Read the rest of this entry »

The Mind Is Willing

by John Leon                                                            

 

            Friday the 13th. Ah yes, time to reflect on all of the supposed bad things that can happen to a person on this date. Yes, we all know the stories of Mary Leeds, who allegedly gave birth to the 13th child on the 13th and it turned into the Jersey Devil. I think what’s worse is that, as we get older, and yes I’m one of those people, you start to believe what your mind tells you to. Read the rest of this entry »
