Quote Of The Day

It combines two of our favorite things on earth: sports and White Russians (which I'm sure the five of us who went to Vegas a couple of years ago for spring break drank a swimming pool of that one night in the MGM).  After seeing a string of Lebowski things this weekend (t-shirts, bumper stickers, etc.) I figured we'd go with the most famous quote of em all.  Enjoy.

Quote Of The Day

Ah, fuck it.  We're piling on today!

"In this fall I'm going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat."

Enjoy your summer, BJ!

Quote Of The Day

Today's quote is from the week's hot topic, Anthony Weiner's weiner.  The quote is from the congressman himself, taken from a sexually charged Facebook chat with a Las Vegas blackjack dealer.  The entire quote is (sic).  Enjoy!

"you will surely make noise when I take you deep. i will tell you how tight your p**** feels"

Google Honors Les Paul In The Coolest Way Possible

Google is honoring guitar pioneer Les Paul for one more day.  Yesterday, June 9, would have been Paul's 96th birthday.  To honor him, the Google Doddle was turned into a playable, recordable Les Paul guitar.  Due to popular demand, Google has kept it up for another day.  Already people are doing some amazing thing with it.

So I urge you to go Google and play away using either your mouse or your keyboard to "pluck".  In fact, we even recorded a little melody just for you.  Just click here.

Quote Of The Day

Usually for the quote of the day we turn to words that ring through the annals (ha) of history.  Not so for today's offering.  Last night Charlie Manuel, the manager of the Phillies who perpetually looks like he is about to fall asleep on the bench, professed his love for Cole Hamels.  Whether that love was for the pitcher or the man is still unclear.  (Note: We got the quote from the Twitter of Philadelphia Inquirer staff writer Matt Gelb.  Matt is an absolute must follow if you care about Philadelphia baseball or just good sports writing in general.  Find him on Twitter: @magelb)

Quote Of The Day

Dirk Nowitzki last night helped carry the Mavericks to a game four win, knotting the NBA Finals at 2-2.  The performance was reminiscent of some guy name Michael fighting somethin' nasty in game five of the 1998 NBA Fianls when he scored 38 points, grabbed seven boards, and added three swipes.  With that in mind, we turn to MJ for our quote, this one from a less than stellar night for Air Jordan, the night of his Hall of Fame induction:

"Tex reminded me that there's no 'I' in 'team".  And I looked back at Tex, I said, 'There's 'I' in win."

Quote Of The Day

 As a kid there was one person above all in my house.  A man who could perform miracles, turn something into nothing, make you appreciate what you were feeling and seeing.  That man was Joe Montana.

I still revere him to this day even after finding out he played college football at the epicenter of everything dark and evil in the world. Today's quote of the day comes from Joe Cool himself.  Trailing in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl with 200 ticks on the clock left, Montana turned to Harris Barton and gave him words of inspiration:

"There, in the stands, standing near the exit ramp.  Isn't that John Candy?"

Quote Of The Day

With the Big Aristotle retiring it is only fitting we turn to him for the quote of the day.  Actually, we turn to him for ten quotes of the day, each one of a reminder of how much we'll miss him in the NBA.

Quote Of The Day

For today's quote we turn to Lawrence Taylor: snorter of cocaine, breaker of legs (see below), and solicitor of prostitutes.  When asked about his recent arrest for picking up an underage prostitute in New York, Lawrence stated, "I don't card them."  Fantastic.

Quote Of The Day

We give you a quote fitting for the day, a reminder of just why you drank a couple gallons of brew, a couple pints of tequila, and the mysterious liquid that was in the bottom of the cooler because, "I totally saw some spill some Stoli in there." So, as you battle your hangover, watch your hands shake as you detox, and perspire sweat that is 40 proof, read this. It's a quote that combines love of nation for love of alcohol from a man who was known to love the women, Ben Franklin. (The quote is, in fact, out of context. Here is the full quote. Fuck it. We like it.)

"Beer if proof God loves us and wants us to be happy."

Quote Of The Day

Tug McGraw, winner of two World Series rings but more importantly father of Tim McGraw, was a character to say the least.  That said, his response when asked if he preferred Astroturf or natural grass should not be all that shocking:

"I dunno.  I never smoked any Astroturf."

Quote Of The Day

I'm a man!  I'm 40!

Quote Of The Day

Carl Everett, former MLB player and current assaulter, had this gem of a quote regarding our friends the dinosaurs.   
"God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve. The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex."

Quote Of The Day

Dennis Green may or may not be the worst manager of game time ever.  He also may be the star of an all-time great recorded meltdown.  He is who we thought he was!

Quote Of The Day

For today's quote, we turn towards fat man and general blowhard Tommy Lasorda. Here is a man who loves nothing more to hear his own voice and to score a Vegas buffet special all at the same time. The quote?

"The only way I'd worry about the weather is if it snows on our side of the field and not on theirs."

Quote Of The Day

Practice?  You guys coming here on a Sunday for practice?  If you don't practice reading, you can't read this post about practice.  Practice, practice, PRACTICE!

Quote Of The Day

This quote of the day is NSFW.  That said, it is great not only for the bouncing pecs and body oil but for Booker T's reaction when we realizes what he just said.  Remember, kids.  Wrestling is just acting so when someone goes off script and says something offensive to real people, it can be a big deal.

Quote Of The Day

I'm going to sum this quote of the day in one word: PLAYOFFS?!

Quote Of The Day

We're going to have some fun with the quote of the day and do it via video. Here is a video the younger kids might not remember but is pure gold for us slightly older guys, taken from a time when basketball coaches were men and not railing women on restaurant tables.

Quote Of The day

Ted Williams, when taking BP, used to scream out, "I'm Ted Fucking Williams and I'm the greatest hitter in baseball!"  I wonder if the Mets can try it.  "I'm Willie Fucking Harris and I'm..."  No, doesn't have the same ring. Oh, well.
