TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What former Kansas basketball player landed on sportshollywood, com's dumbest quotes of all time page?
A: Drew Gooden, for saying, "I've had to overcome a lot of diversity."
Sportshollywood.com
THE MORNING BREW Sports create true, inspiring moments
Finding a job, the economy, famine and war are just a few of the issues the world faces.
And with so many of those problems, who would not want to escape to a world where anything is possible?
That place can be found in the world of sports. A place where Cinderella lives, and legends come to fruition. Where kids who never would have had a chance become icons. It's a place where a Harvard graduate like Jeremy Lin can capture the entire country's attention for something other than his academic triumphs or business ventures.
That's why I brewed about my favorite sports quotes last February, and that's why I'm brewing about them again.
Sports create memories that not only last a lifetime, but are also genuine. They cannot be faked or planned, they are simply real.
There's no way I could possibly limit myself to only writing one of these, so without further ado, here's bree number two:
Massachusetts! I play for the United States of America." — Patrick Demsey as Mike Eruzione in the movie "Miracle."
"Mike Eruzione! Winthrop,
A team full of college kids playing the best team in the world. What a miracle that game was.
But the most special aspect of this quote, and that team in particular, is that these kids came from different schools that hated each other. Because of the physicality of the sport, hockey rivalries are some of the most intense in sports among the players. When Enuzione said this, he put everything in the past for the
"She's not Lois Einhorn! She's Ray Finkle, she's a man!" — Jim Carray as Ace Ventura in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective."
good of the team.
There are a number of great quotes in the classic comedy, But this one takes first place, as Ace Ventura reveals the true kidnapper of Dan Marino, to be Ray Finkle, the former Miami Dolphins kicker. In the movie, Finkle blamed Marino for not holding the "laces out" on a kick that would have won the Dolphins the Super Bowl. Instead, Finkle missed the kick, and the rest is cinematic history.
"Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time." — Lou Brock.
Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock nailed this one about the importance of being fearless. Brock knew that the only way to succeed in sports is to not be afraid of making a mistake.
"I've failed over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed." — Michael
Jordan.
Jordan referenced all of the shots hed missed and the games he's lost as his motivation. Michael Jordan hated losing more than anything else, and because of that hatred, his work ethic became unrivaled. Jordan is often considered the best athlete, or at least, the best basketball player of all time. And the man attributed his success to his failures.
At Kansas, there is a bond created from sports, and that bond will be on display against Missouri on Saturday. And like Bill Self said before the 2008 national championship game. "I want to thank you in advance for the great memories it's going to be."
