HOF Wingman Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 "MIami has the oranges, but Buffalo has the Juice" - Howard Cosell "We didn't block well on Offense, but we made up for it by not tackling on Defense" - John McKay " ooh La La Pierre, it's six nothing Buffalo!" - Rick Jeanneret while the Sabres were crushing the Bruins. Not sure which I liked more, Rick Jeanneret getting so excited or that the Sabres were crushing the Bruins.

BobbyC81 Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Jim Valvano: “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.” I try and follow that One year I was in a Fantasy Football League and was only seemingly mathematically still in it. Another guy with the same record said “Well, we’re both out of it.” He quit while I continued to manage my team. Not only did I make the playoffs, I won the league. In general, just about anytime I get frustrated with something and think about giving up, I remember that quote and try to push through. Another one is Jim Mora’s infamous “Playoffs?!” rant. Anytime a team I follow is just about eliminated from playoff contention but someone says they’re still alive for the playoffs, I think of Mora. Like the Sacramento Kings this year. They get to play an additional 8 games because they’re only 3.5 games behind the 8th place team. Playoffs?

Orlando Buffalo Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 The one I remember because it was the first time I realized the Sabres were not destined to suck forever "Mayday, Mayday" I need a new Mayday.
PaoloBillsFanFromItaly Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 "Mamma butta la pasta!" (with a strong american accent) From the Illinois Native Dan Peterson, who had a great basketball career as a coach here in Italy and become famous as a commentator of italian basketball and NBA. He used to say the famous catchphrase at the decising moment of the game, even if there was still time to play, the game was over and everyone could tell their mom they would be ready to have lunch!
