Enclosed are a few of the funniest one liners from the book
This was one of the most enjoyable of the "sports shorts" series books to put together. Great characters in football like Bum Philips, who said after passing his physical exam, "If I drop dead tomorrow, at least I know I died in good health". Other favorites include Lou Holtz, after his team was being pelted with oranges at the Orange Bowl, "I'm glad we're not going to the Gator Bowl". To read the other 999 one liners, you'll have to buy the book. Hope you pick up a copy.
