Why Athletes Don't Have Regular Jobs . . .
1. Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on being a role model:
"I want all them kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I want all
the kids to copulate me."
2. New Orleans Saints RB George Rogers, when asked about the
upcoming season:
"I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first."
3. And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the Redskin's say:
"I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl,"
Matt Millen of the Raiders said: "To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom too."
4. Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John
Jenkins:
"He treat us like mens. He let us wear earrings."
5. Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann:
"Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy
like Norman Einstein."

"I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes."
(Now that is beautiful)

"You guys line up alphabetically by height." . . . And, "You guys pair
up in groups of three, and then line up in a circle."
8. Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson going to prison:

for three years, not Princeton."

ing to Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice:
"My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be
an uncle or an aunt."

12. Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player:
"I asked him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?'
He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I don't care.'"
13. Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what
he told a player who received four F's and one D:
