Great collection, sodpoodle!   Next time, better put a <br> (line break code) after each quote :-)

I remember the famous quote by Howard Cossell:

And heard at the time: "There will be no Crimson Tide where the River Shannon flows."

Two great quotes by the legendary Bum Phillips:

“The Dallas Cowboys may be America’s team, but the Houston Oilers are Texas’ team.”

On Earl Campbell: “He may not be in a class by himself, but it don’t take long to call the roll.”
