OT: Best Sports quote

"I can't really hear what Jeremy said because I've got my two Stanley Cup Rings plugging my ears. It's hard for me to understand what he says."

- Patrick Roy
 
I don't remember the exact quote, but somebody from Arkansas State (I think) had this doozy:

Guy A: "We can't afford a football team and a college."

Guy B: "Time to tear down the school then."
 
Bill Belichick: “Mental toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it’s not the best thing for you.” “Do your job” is up there.

Funny: “I don’t Twitter, I don’t MyFace, I don’t Yearbook.” and “Twitter account, InstantFace, I don’t have any of that.”
 
Frank Layden is a legend.
Got to spend a couple hours with Frank Layden and his coaching tree at a hotel bar in Cooperstown NY. Surprising thing is that we were watching live on tv, a Utah Jazz playoff game and Layden was the Jazz President. He had been Calvin Murphy's coach at Niagra, and this was a scheduled reunion with about 6-8 of his old coaches. Gave me his card in the shape and design of a basketball with a note on the back for free admission if I got to Utah, which was effectively giving nothing, but much appreciated. That day I met him first at the hall of fame, then a local bar on the lake, then a third time at the hotel where he included myself and a couple others with his entourage. Very personable to us. Nice to have his name come up in this thread with other people fondly remembering him.

I love to hear this. It also seems on par with how he was portrayed.
 
My father the railroad conductor had a version of this "If you aren't early your late"
One of my favorite coaches Tom Coughlin had this philosophy. I employee a lot of "kids" and they believe if you are scheduled for a certain time it means "around that time"
 
Jim Valvano....after receiving a 1st technical in Acc game. After what he thought was another bad call he is ready to explode on sidelines.
Ref: Jim if you say anything I'm going to toss you.
Jim: frustrated to death ask " Well can I think something "
Ref: You can think anything you want.
Jim: I think you stink.
Tossed him
