The Lighter Side Of Sports

[Paul Wozniak]

My goal here is just to post some of the more humorous quotes that I find from time to time.

Minnesota Timberwolves coach Randy Wittman, asked by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel if players back in the day hired personal chefs like rookie Kevin Love:
"No. We got married"

This one is really strange -

Officer Tang Jun, quoted in the Shanghai Daily on police smashing a major cricket-fighting ring and netting a big-time trainer:
"Lin was famous among cricket fanciers. If Lin teased a cricket he could make it angry enough to beat even a stronger opponent. Lin was Shanghai's No.1 cricket teaser."

You can't make this kind of stuff up!

"If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his booty"
