“I think after awhile you just get sick of getting beat up on.”-Ga. Tech coach Paul Hewitt on his seniors’ motivation

March always brings out the best in college athletics, with basketball revved up to the point of madness.

“He always joked about the NCAA, never seemed to take it seriously, “-Georgia student on asst. coach Jim Harrick Jr.

Hey serm’, I’ve been living in a hole the past two weeks, I didn’t miss anything did I? No athletes got in trouble did they? Its nice to see that the sports world has cleaned up its image and that the legal ledgers have been cleared of high-profile athletes clogging up the courts.

“A Mazda miata is a lunch box on wheels just before it bursts into flames.”-Andy on www.dumpdave.com

“You can’t just go out and buy a World Series ring. Well, maybe if Darryl Strawberry runs out of coke.”-Jimmy Kimmel

So, the serm’ has to admit having a deep affection for pucks. In fact, I’m a total puckhead. Some of my friends may also claim that I’m something that rhymes with puckhead, but that has nothing to do with hockey and everything to do with annoying bravado and compulsions.

Sports Sermon: St. John’s is straight trash

“I’m not even going to try to compare our program to St. John’s”-Craig Esherick

So, it’s a good thing that those six St. John’s players had one of those nifty little picture phones to capture the excitement of their explicit sex romp with a prostitute that they refused to pay.

OK, so first things first, and then the serm’ promises it won’t gloat anymore. The Patriots are the most exciting clutch team since the Bulls of the late ‘90s. We’re convinced Brady to Vinatieri is such a combo that at this point we’d take those guys against any other two athletes in any sport, Michael Jordan commercial style.

Sports Sermon: Coaches as future insurance salesmen

When did coaching become such a health hazard? An occupation that pays millions of dollars and brings fame, fanaticism and glory for victories seems like the last place I’d want to be right now. In the span of two days, two of the winningest college and NBA coaches came down with dangerous health and occupational conditions.
