Sports Quotables This Week

I love listening to athletes or reading what they have to say. You just never know what will come out of them. You get some great quotes every now and then. Some meaningful, some just flat out funny. There were a few this week I wanted to share:

"We ain't clinched nothing. We ain't won nothing. Yeah, we won seven ballgames, whoop-de-doo. We're not there yet."
--Paul Spicer of the Jacksonville Jaguars letting reporters know that just because the Jags are winning, they still have the toughest division in the NFL.

"Our 12th man on offense."
--Jamal Lewis of the Cleveland Browns on teammate Josh Cribbs. Cribbs had an amazing game against Baltimore on special teams gaining 306 return yards and forcing a fumble on the punt coverage team.

"I probably should send him a thank-you card for [ticking] me off."
--Shawne Merriman responding about the hit that laid him out. Oh yeah, that hit was by 5’7” running back Maurice Jones-Drew that allowed the Jaguars to score a touchdown. I don’t know how he could show his face in the locker room after that. Check it out:

And now, for my favorite:

"Maybe I can go after, or check Naslund and those Pinky and the Brain twins.''
--Derek Boogaard of the Minnesota Wild on getting to play against Canucks captain Markus Naslund and forwards Daniel and Henrik Sedin. He is looking for retaliation for a nasty slash on his teammate Mikko Koivu by Canuck defensemen Mattias Ohlund. If you haven’t seen it, it’s disgraceful. Sure Koivu got an elbow in first (which he still got penalized for, even though he now has a broken bone in his leg), but he certainly did not deserve this. Here it is for you:
