Favorite funny quotes (any celebrities)
I tried dredging up an existing thread, but saw none that fit this description. So here it is. Post any quote by any celebrity (sports or otherwise) that you have found completely hilarious, and has stayed in your mind.
One of my personal favorites is from John McKay, a college-turned-pro American football coach who had the misfortune of coaching the hapless Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in the 70's. McKay was a walking quote machine, even from his days in college football, it appears.
One time, after a particularly ugly loss by the Buccaneers, a reporter came up to McKay and asked:
Reporter: "Coach, what do you think of your team's execution?"
McKay: "I'm in favor of it."
Another time, while at USC, he had this to say about his team's dismal performance:
"We didn't tackle well today but we made up for it by not blocking."
I don't know how good a coach he was, but the guy certainly had a sense of humor.
He had to. His Buccaneers lost the first 26 games of their existence.... finally winning their first game in 1977.

Referee: "I've given you the instructions in the dressing room, I expect you to have a good clean fight, are there any questions?"
Larry Holmes: "Yeah, can you count to 10?"
One of the best trash talk lines in the history of sport!

I hated Larry Holmes... but that was a good quote to begin the hostilities.
I wonder how he did in that particular fight.....
