It’s OK to Put These Words in Their Mouths

Here are some quotes I would like to read in your paper this year:

“We tried it and we don’t like it. We are going back to our traditional rivalries after the current contract.” -- The Rose Bowl Committee.

“Betting on baseball games is against our rules and that is that. There will be no reinstatement.” -- Bud Selig.

“Amen.” -- Baseball Hall of Fame.

“The fans, owners and players are tired of injuries from cheap shot and late hits. The suspensions are going to get longer.” -- Paul Tagliabue.

“Using drugs to enhance performance isn’t right and I don’t think my records should count.” -- Barry Bonds.

“No sporting event needs more than two broadcasters, and most need only one.” -- network sports directors.
