Focus: Stupid quotes from celebrities.
Dumbass quote for all time: - Craig T. Nelson Also, every thing Kim Kardashian has ever said. She is the most worthless human being on earth.
I haven't scrolled through the slideshow yet to see if it made their fifty, but Amare Stoudamire (of the New York Knicks, formerly of the Phoenix Suns) once said that the state of Arizona should treat its Hispanic residents with respect and courtesy...because "They are apart (sic) of the 12 tribes of Israel." I did enjoy the Doug Collins quote in the slideshow saying that when the Detroit Pistons score more than 100 points and their opponent scores fewer thaqn 100 points, they "almost always" win.
This thanks to Patrick Ewing regarding why the players needed a bigger cut. Patrick Ewing as President of the Player's Association during contract negotiations, "Sure NBA players make a lot of money, but we spend a lot too." <a class="postlink" href="http://itsjustmoney.blogs.com/its_just_money/2006/04/sure_nba_player.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://itsjustmoney.blogs.com/its_just_ ... layer.html</a>
On the subject of brilliant athletes "I have a family to feed ... If Glen Taylor wants to see my family fed, he better cough up some money. Otherwise, you're going to see these kids in one of those Sally Struthers commercials soon." -Latrell Spreewell expressing his disgust at being offered a 3 year, 21 million dollar contract. How are those shiny wheels feeding your kids now, Spree?
The list left off the best nonsensical quotes from Yogi Berra: "When you see a fork in the road, take it" "The future ain't what it used to be" "Never answer an anonymous letter" And Charles Barkley: On one of Nate Robinson's dunks during All Star weekend: "Any time a little midget does something like this, you gotta give him a 10!" Before his famous race against Dick Bavetta: "I have nothing against old people; I want to be one myself one day." You know what he [Yao] said? "Whew! Even white guys can play over here!"
I think this should count: Also, this is absolutely incredible,""Every time that I have ever tried to help a woman out, I have been incarcerated." - Jose Canseco
This is one of my personal favorites. Skip to about 40 seconds in. From the site itself I'm going to go with this, courtesy of Andre Dawson . Role model indeed.
This chick wasn't a celebrity, but she sure became one instantly. Not only was the answer incredibly moronic, she kept pouring concrete all over the foundation to reinforce the idiocy. "Americans don't have maps"? If that answer was any dumber my I.Q. would go down.
24. 2006 NBA Champion Antoine Walker, when asked why he shoots so many three-pointers: "Because there are no fours." I don't care what anyone says, that's just brilliant. Also, there are a lot of "dumb quotes" that are actually really clever. 19. Former Backup Shortstop and Announcer Darrel Chaney "Raise the urinals." (on how the team's brass can keep the Braves on their toes)
A&M's former head coach Shelby Metcalf's quote, "“Son, looks to me like you’re spending too much time on one subject.” (what he told a player who received four F's and a D)", is comedic gold. That's awesome. This list, like most things on Bleacher Report, isn't very good.
"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff." Mariah Carey. I'm not sure if this quote is legitimate, but it is funny.
