Some things are worth repeating
MORNING BREW
Sports give us some of the most gutwrenching, heart-pounding, and intense moments that we will ever experience in our lives. They give us some of the most dazzling moments and scintillating stories we will ever see.
They also give us some of the most superb quotes that we will ever hear. Whether out of humor or inspiration, sports fans love to use some of their favorite quotes that they've come across in the sports world.
BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com
Or maybe it's just me that does that. I'd like to think otherwise, though. Whether it's from my favorite sports movies, favorite teams, or favorite moments, I love the quotes that the sports world has given us, and here are some of my favorites:
"Oh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come." — James Earl Jones as Terrance Mann in "Field of Dreams."
I figured we should start with a classic, and what is more classic than James Earl Jones' powerful, low-toned voice delivering the goose-bump-inducing speech telling Ray Kinsella that he should have hope.
"Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion!" — Rudy Tomjanovich after the Rockets defeated the Magic in the 1995 NBA Finals.
This one hits home with me, literally. Being from Houston, and being a lifelong Rockets fan, this quote has always resonated with me. The Rockets, a sixth seed, went on to upset an Orlando Magic team that had 57 wins that year. Tomjanovich's message was and still is inspiring, and the passionate
delivery from "Rudy T" makes this one a classic.
"When you pull on that jersey, you represent yourself and your teammates. And the name on the front is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back!" and "Great moments are born from great opportunities." — Herb Brooks, coach of the 1980 U.S. "Miracle" gold-winning hockey team.
Brooks was a dreamer and could give hope to even the most cynical person. Brooks managed to get a bunch of collegeaged kids to believe they could beat the best hockey team in the world. Brooks' words are as inspiring and as passion-filled as they come.
"During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than 20 million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!" — Rocky Balboa addressing the Soviet Union in "Rocky IV."
The American Hero, Rocky, had just
defeated the steroid-infused Soviet star, Drago, in a boxing bout for the ages. Post-fight, Rocky addresses the Soviet crowd that had managed to become pro-Rocky mid-fight after seeing Rocky take punch after punch without giving in.
"I'll make it" — Jimmy Chitwood in "Hoodiers."
Chitwood, the star of the Hickory Hoosiers, a small-town Indiana high school basketball team, has very few lines in the movie "Hoosiers" but this line from Chitwood brings the movie home. As head coach Norman Dale draws up a last-second play for Hickory in the state title game he decides to use Chitwood as a decoy. Chitwood in a sports-stud manner replies to his coach by telling him he has a different plan. And you know he makes it.
It's March, Jayhawk fans, and I think Hall of Fame Syracuse football coach Ben Schwartzwalder said it best, "To be the best you have to beat the best."
