Your 2007 Sports Wisdom of the Year.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Someone please explain the running Emmit Smith Dancing With the Stars joke here.

[CanadianChris 0]

I just used the picture so I didn't have to search for another Emmitt picture.

"Nothing, these three big shitheads, these two..three pussies have cheated us, that's what happened. This pussy, these three shitheads think they are something. I will go and fuck their mothers' pussy -- all three of them, that's what I'm gonna...pussies all three of them, I'm gonna fuck his italian mother in her pussy, man, that's what I want to say...Pussies..they don't call anything...he shit in his pants...I will fuck his mother in the mouth, man...if he has a daughter, I will also fuck his daughter..."

[Guest Pizza Hut's Game Face]

"Pearl Harbor or whatever" is the frontrunner, with "trickelates" close behind.

[Guest My Pal, the Tortoise]

"This only puts the Tigers in a better position to contend with us."

 

Boers & Bernstein's Quote of the Year nominees:

1. "I hate gay people." -Tim Hardaway

2. "ROGER CLEMENS IS IN GEORGE'S BOX! OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!" -Suzyn Waldman

3. "Come after me! I'm a man! I'm forty!" -Mike Gundy

4. "Let me be clear. I am not gay. I never have been gay." -Larry Craig

5. "If you continue to run the ball, they'll eventually stop that." -Lovie Smith

6. "What the hell do you think isn't working? You see the damn game!" -Lou Piniella

 

Hmmm. HMMMM. I'm going with 2. vote at 670thescore.com if you want.

 

Though "I hate gay people" was really funny.

[Guest My Pal, the Tortoise]

ATTN: THIS IS NOW A POLL

02) Emmitt Smith

03) Elijah Dukes

04) Suzyn Waldman

05) Tim McCarver

06) Mike Gundy

07) Chip Caray

08) Dick Stockton

09) Nick Saban

10) Drunken Bernie Kosar

 

edit: me, personally, I'm torn between George's Box and I'm 40. Tough. Toooough.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

I'm 40!

 

I'm blatantly biased towards football anyway, and the coaches totally fucking snapping embody everything I both love and hate in the college game.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Chip Carey gets the nod for me. "Here come the Yankees" indeed.

 

But Czech, no Kenny Williams? It's a late entry but it's certainly a strong contender.

[Guest My Pal, the Tortoise]

I feel there's going to be a White Sox Wisdom of the Year somewhere down the line. If I can compile 10 good lines from 2007 in a pinch, we'll do that. Kenny, Hawk, and Ozzie should be easy finds; I'll have more trouble recalling Ed Farmer's rants.

[UZI Suicide 0]

We can't vote on this until after the football season. Emmitt Smith says at least three stupid things every week and he has plenty of time left to toss out some winning wisdom.

[Slayer 0]

I highly doubt anything to come out in the remainder of 07 will top Solomon Gundy's tirade

[devo 0]

I dunno...are we going for sheer entertainment value or for the quote that was the most jaw-droppingly moronic?

 

As fun as Gundy's meltdown was to watch, it's, at the very least, the most defendable of any of the candidates.

[Maztinho 0]

Had to go with I'm 40! I'm a man!

 

That was just a classic meltdown of epicness.

[Red Baron 0]

I'm sure I or CanadianGuitarist can find some good John Torterella meltdowns in a few days. His meltdowns and post game interviews are awesome.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I had to go with Darko here. That's the only one that made me actually laugh out loud when I saw it.

 

I didn't go with "Come after me! I'm a man! I'm 40!" because, taken out of context, it sounds hilarious, but when you watch the whole speech, it kind of makes sense, and while he's kind of over the top, I understand why he's pissed and why he said that. (For those who don't know, because of an article in which it goes critical into his team's play, and Gundy's raging because his "kids" are playing hard every Saturday, blah blah blah, etc.)

[Guest My Pal, the Tortoise]

See, the Darko one is dicey, because he didn't say it in English. Technically, I'm not even sure it should count.

 

There's no defending Mike Gundy yelling at a reporter like some raging idiot. Looks like Darko and Gundy are our leaders, though. I'm surprised that there's no love for Chip Caray encapsulating East Coast Bias. Gundy's is even better if you convince yourself of a vowel shift so that he's saying "I'm a man! I'm farty!"

There's some love for Caray, I voted for it.

 

I still don't get the appeal of Gundy. It doesn't count as a real tirade until you throw something.

[Guest My Pal, the Tortoise]

There's some love for Caray, I voted for it.

AND HERE COME THE YANKEES! [ 0 ] [0.00%]

 

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Ok, now I voted for it, instead of merely voicing my approval.

[Guest My Pal, the Tortoise]

You know, I want to do a year-end poll like this for board-related stuff, but this has been kind of a quiet year for new board memes and really dumb shit. There's COUGHCOUGHWEEK13 and "80% sure," but precious little else.

[The Niggardly King 0]

Oh come on man, Emmit Smith didn't even know Thanksgiving was a National Holiday, and he said that the Bronco's had a chance at the National Championship...

Does 'TEE HEE' count?

[Danville_Wrestling 0]

I had to go with Gundy on this poll although the "George's box" comment was a close second. I still remember when that was posted here and I was like "are you kidding me?!?"

[Guest Smues]

What makes George's Box even better is that in the end it didn't amount to anything. Clemens got paid a shitload of money, struck out 68 batters in 99 innings while going 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA, gave up 3 runs in 2 1/3 IP in the playoffs, and the Yankess went out quietly in the 1st round.

 

On that note, just how much exactly did Clemens get paid this past season for being in George's Box?

[Mik 0]

I had to go with Dukes... had to.

 

I'm surprised to see I'm the only one.

[Guest My Pal, the Tortoise]

"As a matter of fact" is what made it top 10.

[Slayer 0]

I'm writing a book about Darko insulting various sporting personnel. It's called "You Got Serbed"

A cool pro-rated $28 million.

I'm totally voting for Dukes. Not only did he leave that incredible voicemail tirade, he sent a picture message of a handgun with the subject title "You dead, dawg." It makes me laugh out loud every time I think of it.

 

The Gundy thing was funny, but I agreed with what he said, so it's hard to vote for him.
