Loved this way of representing what must be one of the most mental sports events out there, the Paris-Roubaix

http://www.cyclingtips.com.au/2013/04/2013-paris-roubaix-in-quotes/


I was just on the side of the road, and a spectator was lined up in front of me. So I hit him and I crashed, and that’s that.

Rugby: Needle pricks rugby drug-free bubble

Richard Loe on Drugs in rugby in the 80's/90's.
"But I have always said that within the All Blacks, we relied on our sponsors' good products - beer. You look at Australia; it was pretty obvious that the only thing (Wallaby props) Ewen McKenzie and Tony Daly were taking were sponge cakes and doughnuts."

Saffer Commentator during Tahs vs Bulls after Bulls Lock Flip Van Der Merwe poleaxed Tahs wing Tom Kingston (legally)

"I reckon Flip Van Der Merwe reckons he has died and gone to heaven .....A lock waits for that a whole rugby lifetime ..... to line up an outside back .... he's totally blindsided .... comes and smashes him"

Piggies around the world will understand the unmitigated joy from the rare occasion when they nail one of the show ponies wearing double digits on their back.

Funny, I'd have thought a big, tough, 2m tall lock would like to nail another big bloke with the big hit, rather than a relative midget. Forwards are obviously complex in that way.

I'm down to 76kg, lightest I've been since I was about 21. Of course, if you were chasing me up Kosciusko, I would concede you might catch me. I've seen your pics!!

Blues captain Ali Williams after their loss to the Reds: "It was just those last five minutes where we made a little mistake here and there where we couldn't execute what we wanted to execute. That's why people come to watch a game of rugby. That's why rugby is better than rugby league, isn't it?" No.

The "No" comes from that Blow Hard Fitzsimons.
I think Williams summed it up - in league its easy to execute because you know you keep the ball after each tackle and that makes it predictable.
That was the point, PJF.

The commentators in the Waratahs Kings game as they set a scrum near the sideline:

"Not much room on the blindside. I don't think McKibbin will be taking the Ray Charles lane."
