1. "He's as cool as the other side of the pillow"...

...my personal favorite from SportsCenter

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

2. "that little monkey gets loose, doesn't he,"

The beginning of the end for Howard Cosell, talking about wide receiver Alvin Garrett. In that context, it was viewed as racist. Fortunately for "Monday Night Football", this comment was in no way related to a wardrobe malfunction.

3. A freight train with Stickm

From that old Nike ad where Dennis Hopper plays a crazed ref stalking Sterling Sharpe

[KamaAina]

4. "We've just gotta go out there and give 110 percent"

ever notice how few student-athletes are math majors?

16. George Carlin

In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

19. In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

Thanks for the reminder pokerfan, that's a classic!
