    Why athletes should probably not be role models after all


    Brilliance on display:

    I wan' all the kids to copulate me."
    <HR>

    "I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first."

    <HR>

    "To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too."
    <HR>
    Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John Jenkins: "He treats us like men. He lets us wear earrings."

    <HR>

    A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."

    <HR>

    And, "You guys pair up in groups of three, then line up in a circle.

    "Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to prison for three years, not Princeton ."

    "He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning regardless of what time it is."

    "My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt."
    (I wonder if his IQ ever hit room temperature in January)

    <HR>Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player: "I told him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?

    He said, "Coach, I don't know and I don't care."

    <HR>Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a player who received four F's and one D: "Son, looks to me like you're

        They're not though. Some are, but really the role models come within the family. The next man got lucky with his talent and work, will you? Better off following your dad or mom or someone who's keen on your situation...or just a kin, too.

        This is the best though IMO
        Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann, 1996 : "Nobody in football should be called a genius.
        A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." Yeah, this guy is a broadcaster. :o

        this is just comedy
        And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skins 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." Great humor by these guys.

                Yeah, I've got those for years in email forwards, at this point, I doubt any of them are even real.

                    How about Mike Tyson saying he was going to "fade into Bolivia" after losing a fight

                    LOL, thats one of my all-time favorites

                          Being an NC State grad in 1989, I will never forget the infamous Charles Shakelford saying, I can shoot with my left hand or my right, I'm amphibious.
