Quotations of the day on equality of outcomes.... - AEI

Too much wisdom and logic for some, but maybe in small doses......Sowell and Friedman are a dynamite combination.

Posted: 26 May 2018 07:20 AM PDT AEI Quotations of the day on equality of outcomes…. …. are from Thomas Sowell: 1. If you cannot achieve equality of performance among people born to the same parents and raised under the same roof, how realistic is it to expect to achieve it across broader and deeper social divisions? …… 2. If there is not equality of outcomes among people born to the same parents and raised under the same roof, why should equality of outcomes be expected—or assumed—when conditions are not nearly so comparable?

Arenado has winning hit in 9th, Rockies top Giants - Yahoo! Sports

from Yahoo Sports:
Arenado has winning hit in 9th, Rockies top Giants - Yahoo! Sports:

DENVER (AP) -- Nolan Arenado hit a game-ending single with two outs in the ninth inning Saturday to lift the Colorado Rockies to a 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants, losers of six straight for the first time in three years.

In describing the current state of the Giants after today's loss, I can hear immortal words of former point-guard Michael Ray Richardson used to describe the state of the New York Knicks as one of their promising seasons ( maybe 1982 or so) went down in flames.

from the basketbawful blog:

My favorite Michael Ray quote is widely known as the "ship be sinking" quote. He said it near the end of this career to describe the Knicks' general state of being. It went like this:

Reporter: What do you think is happening to the team?

Richardson: The ship be sinking.

Reporter: How far can it sink?

Richardson: Sky's the limit.

They said it, and I quote!!

Dean Smith, former North Carolina basketball coach:

"Once a year an athlete may be made insufferable by praise. Every other day in the year a deserving athlete will drop out of a sport for want of a word of praise."

Bob Bruce, Former Senior PGA Pro:

"I used to play with a guy who was such an inveterate cheat that when he made a hole-in-one he wrote down 0 on his scorecard"

Ara Parseghian, former Notre Dame football coach:

"The best time to make friends is before you need them."

Father Hesburgh, Notre Dame:

"Ten years after the average athlete graduates, everyone will have forgotten when and where he played, but every time he opens his mouth, everyone will know whether he was educated." 

Kay Yow, former NC State women's basketball coach:

"It's important for your team to know what you stand for and what you won't stand for."

Chuck Noll, former Pittsburgh Steelers coach:

 "Coaches who scrimmage all the time probably don't know what to practice."

Bryan Lewis, NHL referee after Tiger Williams, former NHL tough guy skated over to him and said:

"Look at Walker and Schultz hammering each other. Add up their IQ's and it wouldn't come to 11." 

Lewis: "Why don't you jump in and make it an even dozen?"

Dale Brown, former LSU basketball coach:

"How come the NCAA needs a 500 page manual when the Ten Commandments can fit on a 3x5 card?"

Time Magazine 8/25/1961 edition, on umpires:

"The umpire should combine the integrity of a Supreme Court judge, the physical Agility of an acrobat, the endurance of Job, and the heart of a serial killer."

Frank Deford on Keyshawn Johnson:

"Before they made Keyshawn, they should have broken the mold."

Mickey Rivers, after hearing Reggie Jackson brag that he had a 140 IQ:

"Out of what? A thousand?"

Lou Piniella, on an argument he had with an umpire:

"I cussed him out in Spanish and he threw me out in English."

Vin Scully, recalling Tommy Lasorda's reaction after Jack Clark's 9th inning HR eliminates the Dodgers from 1985 playoffs:

"Tommy Lasorda looked up to the Big Dodger in the sky and cried 'Why me?' and the Big Dodger in the sky replied: 'Because you should have walked him, dummy'"
