“Pardon me if we’re all not shocked by this, but it’s akin to Elton John admitting his sexual preference is for men, or Dale Earnhardt jr loves driving fast, or I can’t stand Joe Buck.”
“What? Let me get this straight – the behemoth of the Cadillac line is compromised in a slow speed accident so insignificant that the airbags don’t pop, but the only way to get Tiger out is whacking out the rear glass with a wedge?”

“It’s extremely hard to excel in one area – take a look at a player like Michael Jordan, for example – but the flip side of that is, everyone can be mediocre.”

“What’s the point? You won’t see the best the athletes can do, because they can’t do their best when they’re wearing mittens.”
“But how can you be sure that child will grow up and choose the most lucrative sport? After all, you want a nice place on the beach, right?”
