Rocky Marciano sports quote!
By · CommentsThere is no doubt that man is a competitive animal and there is no place where this fact is more obvious than in the ring. There is no second place. Either you win or you lose. When they call you a champion, it’s because you don’t lose. To win takes a complete commitment of mind and body.

Funny Sports Quotes
By · CommentsBreak a Sweat Laughing With the Silliest and Funniest Sports Quotes Ever
Very often sports provide us with a glimpse of the limits of what humanity can achieve. There are very few other spectacles on earth that give us a glimpse of the limits of what humanity can achieve in both mind and body like sports. And when sports are in question, then naturally a lot of people would draw inspiration from the quotations of the great sporting icons of our time. Such words have the power to inspire, to bring out our drive and to keep us focused on being the best we can be.
But most of the time, athletes and sports figures aren’t the best sources of deep and moving quotations. A majority in fact of sports quotations by now are either platitudes or are just plain funny. Here are a few of these notorious quotes that have been immortalized in not so good ways:
- “Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing, but none of them serious.”: These classic words were spoken by Alan Minter, a professional boxer and former Olympic bronze medalist and European world champion. Apparently though all those shots to the head can take their toll and you end up… saying things.
- “(My) Career was sputtering until I made a 360 (degree turn) and got headed in the right direction.”: This piece of pure genius was mouthed by Tracy McGrady, who was drafted straight out of high school and became the scoring champ twice, as well as a seven time All Star. Though his game has never been in question, his knowledge of basic figures kinda is.
- “We’re not attempting to circumcise the rules.”: From the lips of Bill Cowher, then coach of the Pittburgh Steelers comes this once in a lifetime quotation. He was actually NFL coach of the ear in 1992 and led the Steelers to the title in Superbowl XL. He is now a TV commentator for ‘The NFL Today’ where he probably puts his amazing eloquence to good use.
These are just a few of the amazing quotes that have made us smile or fall out of our seats laughing. If you want more of these silly but amazing quotes, you should visit: http://crunkish.com/top-ten-sports-quotes-of-all-time/

Famous Quotes by John Wooden, the NCAA’s Winningest Basketball Coach
By Ed Bagley
Great coaches win games when it counts. Some coaches also make great interviews for the media writers by never shying away in victory or defeat, and giving great quotes. Even fewer have great personalities to go with their victories, and quotes that are insightful, memorable and sometimes so funny we cannot help but smile.
And then there are the select few, legends in their own time that will never be forgotten, such as Knute Rockne and Vince Lombardi. Add Lou Holtz to the same list, not in the same class as Rockne and Lombardi, but because of his quick wit and quality comments. Successful coaches did not become so by being stupid, arcane and bovine. Holtz is sharp as a tack.
Rockne (the Notre Dame Fighting Irish), Lombardi (the Green Bay Packers), and Holtz (the only coach to lead 6 college programs to bowl-game appearances) are all football coaches.
Enter basketball’s John Wooden, who ranks in the same class as Rockne and Lombardi.
Known as the “Wizard of Westwood”, Wooden won 665 games in 27 seasons at UCLA and 10 NCAA titles during this last 12 years, including 7 straight from 1967 to 1973. He also had an 88-game winning streak and two undefeated, back-to-back national championship teams.
Wooden’s UCLA record during his 10 National Championship years was 291-10 (not a misprint); it rounds to a 97% winning percentage and includes no less than 4 perfect 30-0 seasons.
Here are some of John Wooden’s most famous quotes:
“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”
“Never mistake activity for achievement.”
“If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.”
“Adversity is the state in which man most easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.”
“Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.”
“I’d rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.”
“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”
“Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.”
“Ability is a poor man’s wealth.”
“Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character.”
“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”
“You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one.”
“It’s not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.”
“It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.”
“It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.”
“Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.”
“What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.”
“There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.”
“You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.”
