Far and away one of the best parts of being a sports writer is that you are usually the first to hear some of the most ridiculous things come out of an athlete's mouth. A sampling of some of my favorites, though I was not on-hand to hear them. Feel free to add your favorites to the comment section.
Steven Jackson, "I make love to pressure."
Roger Clemens, "I wish there was a bar I could send opposing teams to and get them hammered or something -- I could tell my buddies in New York to leave their places open or something. Playing for the Yankees, guys come at you extremely hard. I have to be ready for I'll be embarrassed."
Kobe Bryant, "These young guys are playing checkers. I'm out there playing chess."
Barry Bonds, "Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others."
Former Reds pitcher Steve Foster's response when asked at the Canadian border if he had anything to declare, "Yes, sir, I'm proud to be an American."
Dennis Rodman, "Chemistry is a class you take in high school or college, where you figure out two plus two is 10, or something."
This came to us from Chad Johnson only yesterday, regarding his relationship with quarterback Carson Palmer, ""Me and Carson, I mean, we're fighting and bickering a lot and he's **** me off. But other than that, you know, it's cool." *brief pause* "Why are you laughing? I'm serious. I'm serious. Carson and I are going to fight in camp. I'm just telling you now. We're going to frustrate each other, and I'm going to hit him in his knee - the bad one … We have a great relationship but sometimes you fight."
And, my personal favorite, from Mr. Terrell Owens, "At the end of the day, I don't have to worry about what people think of me, whether they hate me or not. People hated on Jesus. They threw stones at him and tried to kill him, so how can I complain or worry about what people think?"
The best part of that quote was how he said they TRIED to kill Jesus. Tried, and evidently, did not succeed.

Bad move. Now you're gonna get AG on here saying that they didn't, he rose on the third day, and you're gonna have to warn DJ C about how hard he punts the bear. (and I'm leaving my personal beliefs on it faaar away from this blog).

BAD RELIGIOUS PUN ALERT
They didn't know if they killed him or not, that was just the assumption.

And love the Bonds quote. Apparently the role he really wants to model for is as Mr. Met

Thanks Mungo. I knew I'd screw up the conversion... Was to lazy to actually look up the exchange rates.

Hey Skoot. I saw a story this morning where a couple living in Poland just had fraternal twins. One was white, then other was black.
