Actually,Jimmy Brown of the old Cleveland Browns was the first person that I remember this quote being attributed to--many years ago.Mr. Brown is still the single greatest running back that I have ever seen,as well as being one of the greatest all-around athletes ever.When I was a kid,in the late 50's,I went to to one of the Browns' training camps in the summer and chased down Mr. Brown for his autograph after a practise.He told me to go f*** myself.Didn't bother me at all-still thought he was great.
BTW,Barry,I agree with your rant.You can extend it to basketball,hockey,baseball,etc.My personal favorite is soccer.Guy scores a goal,then runs around the field three times with his arms in the air,falls on the ground on his stomach like he just had an epiliptic fit,kicks his arms and legs,and then his team-mates pile on top of him and try to screw him dog-style.Unbelievable!
End of my rant.
