Dennis "oil can" Boyd. This wasn't a real quote, though. Ad lib by Sportscenter anchor Dan Patrick that would not only get him canceled today. He would have problems if it resurfaced like Cwissy Collinsworth's quip about young and stupid girls.

Oil Can got caught with drugs or failed a drug test or something. Can't remember. Danny P landed the classic line with she's perfect 👌 timing.

When asked about the drugs found in his locker, Oil Can reportedly said "I no do it!"

My favorite Woody Hayes story is when he was beating a team 62-0 and went for a two-point conversion. After the game, the reporters gathered around and asked him, “Woody, why in the world did you go for two with such a big lead?” He replied, “Because I couldn't go for THREE!

In the final week of his only season with the Red Sox, Chairman Tom Werner asked Rickey Henderson what he would like as a parting gift. Henderson responded by saying he wasn't leaving, but he would like owner John Henry's Mercedes. Werner mentioned it would be difficult to acquire the same make and model in such a short time, but Henderson insisted, "No, I want his car."

The Red Sox ended up getting Henderson a Red Thunderbird. When he saw it on the field before the last game of the season, Rickey remarked, "Whose ugly car is on the field?"

😅😂

'' and at the conclusion, the arm of the macho man will be raised in triumph. I don't know how I'm going to do it - Tito Santana and 14,000 referees in the stands against me - but I'm going to do it.

Oh yeah, I'm going to come up with a way! ... ''

"Fielders in Major League Baseball these days can leave their gloves in the dugout."

---Bob Costas last night on the Royals-Yankees telecast commenting on the "three true outcomes" in baseball.

(Note: The "three true outcomes" in baseball are said to be a home run, a walk or a strikeout due to the fact that none of the three, with the rare exception of an inside-the-park home run or a strikeout with a dropped third strike, involve the defense beyond the pitcher or the catcher.)

Costas after flubbing the opening kickoff in the 1978 Lions/Eagles game and being told to fix it via his earpiece:

Well I had a 50% chance of being right it right and I missed. The Lions will receive the opening kickoff.

He should have been fired on the spot and ended his career. Can't stand that smug asshole. Has he corrected and apologized for missing a 50% putt again with covid? Several putts. Wrong on everything. Fuck you, Bobby, and this time not Computer.
