THROW BACK THURSDAY - GET READY FOR THE SUPER BOWL PLUS CLASS NEWS
Enjoy a little "football" talk:
E.J. Holub, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker regarding his 12 knee operations: “My knees look like they lost a knife fight with a midget.”
Don Meredith, Dallas Cowboys Quarterback once said: “Coach Tom Landry is such a perfectionist that if he was married to Raquel Welch, he would expect her to cook.”
Max McGee, Green Bay Packers receiver: “When it’s third and ten, you can have the milk drinkers; I’ll take the whiskey drinkers every time.”
Tommy John, N.Y. Yankees, recalling his 1974 arm surgery: “When they operated, I told them to add in a Koufax fastball. They did, but unfortunately it was Mrs. Koufax’s.”
Walt Garrison, Dallas Cowboys fullback when asked if Tom Landry ever smiles: “I don’t know. I only played there for nine years.”
John Breen, Houston Oilers: “We were tipping off our plays. Whenever we broke from the huddle, three backs were laughing and one was pale as a ghost.”
Bum Phillips, New Orleans Saints, after viewing a lopsided loss to the Atlanta Falcons: “The film looks suspiciously like the game itself.”
Paul Horning, Green Bay Packers running back on why his marriage ceremony was before noon: “Because if it didn’t work out, I didn’t want to blow the whole day.”
Lou Holtz, Arkansas football coach: “I have a lifetime contract. That means I can’t be fired during the third quarter if we’re ahead and moving the ball.”
Knute Rockne, when asked why Notre Dame had lost a game: “I won’t know until my barber tells me on Monday.”
George McIntyre, Vanderbilt football coach surveying the team roster that included 26 freshmen and 25 sophomores: “Our biggest concern this season will be diaper rash.”
Rick Venturi, Northwestern football coach: “The only difference between me and General Custer is that I have to watch the films on Sunday.”
Bum Phillips, Oilers coach on why he always takes his wife on road trips . . . “She’s too ugly to kiss goodbye.”
The great John McKay, who coached USC for a bunch of years and later became the initial head coach of those terrible expansion Tampa Bay Bucs teams, had a few zingers. He was once asked after a lopsided loss what he thought of his team’s execution. He said: “I’m all for it.”
On another occasion, after a serious whipping he was asked what the turning point of the game had been. He replied: “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

A good friend of mine has two tickets for the 2024 Super Bowl, 50 yard line, box seats. He paid $2,500 for each, but he didn't realize last year when he bought them that it was going to be on the same day as his wedding!
If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place . . . it is at St. James Methodist at 3:00pm. The brides name is Kathryn, she is 5'4", about 115 pounds, a good cook too. She'll be the one in the white dress.
