In the early 1950's entertainment personality, Art Linkletter established his long running television hit show, "Kids Say The Darndest Things." That show ran well into the 1970's.
Well, I dare not suggest that quips from coaches could rivalry childrens' verbal spontaneity but let's consider these gems just for fun:
"Last Year we couldn't win at home and we were losing on the road. My failure as a coach was that I couldn't think of anyplace else to play." -Harry Neal's, NHL Coach
"I'm working as hard as I can to get my life and my cash to run out at the same time. If I can die next Tuesday after lunch everything will be perfect." -Doug Sanders, Pro Golfer
"My knees look like they lost a knife fight with a Midget." -E.J. Holbrook, NFL linebacker who had 12-knee surgeries.
"When they operated on me, I told them to add a Sandy Koufax fastball. They did but unfortunately it was Mrs. Koufax'." -Tommy John NY Yankees pitcher after his arm surgery.
"We were tipping off our plays. Whenever we broke the huddle, three backs were laughing and one back was pale as a ghost." -Houston Oilers player.
"I have discovered in 20-years of moving around the ball,park, the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the tickets." -Bill Veeck, Chicago White Sox, owner
* "I won't know until my barber tells me on Monday." -Knute Rockne, when asked 'why' Norte Dame
had lost a game.
"The only difference between me and General Custer is that I have to watch the film on Sunday."
-Rick Venturi, Northwester football coach.
* My personal favorite.
