“We can’t all be as gorgeous as me, when we play the game.” England spinner Graeme Swann concedes that winning ugly is better than not winning at all.
“If I did that, it wouldn’t be the penalty box I’d be in, it would be a wooden box! Kris Boyd realises that a move from Rangers to Celtic would be an unpopular one, to say the least.
“Good Lord! I think that girl has bought the wrong size shorts.” David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd gets taken with one of the dancers at the opening Friends Provident T20 game between Sussex and Somerset.
“He’s very nice looking and we need to learn his name.” Virginia Wade gives her views on rising star Oleksandr Dolgopolov Jr.
“If I start going baaahhh, you know what’s going on.”
Australian golfer, Robert Allenby, has started taking tablets containing sheeps’ placenta to reduce swelling in his wrists.
“I ended up travelling home on the 5.23am train from Brighton. I had no choice. The wife said I had to put the bins out.” Bumble, again!
“That’s the result of 10 years acting like a buffoon. The captain won’t listen to me anymore.” Graeme Swann reveals Andrew Strauss won’t take his advice.
“I have not been back to Senegal since the age of ten, when I went to be circumcised - which was not a pleasant experience.” Patrice Evra explains the mitigating circumstances behind his decision to snub Senegal for France.
“At the end there was only going to be one winner.” Alan Hansen on the 2-2 draw between Slovenia and USA.
“These greens are like putting over a herd of turtles.” Tom Watson left no one in any doubt about the speed of the greens at Pebble Beach.
“My only problem with Dunga is his dress sense. His weird blazer covering his purple shirt and yellow t-shirt combo was almost as horrific as seeing Dirk Kuyt in HD.” Brett Mendoza.
“If I am in charge of the keg of Guinness, that will be fine.” Darren Clarke discusses the importance of his role as vice-captain in the European Ryder Cup team.
Cobbled together from Sky Sports, ESPN Sport and watching far too much television!

He told me to ‘mow’ this way ...
Laurence has discovered a new way to tend greens, plus a novel approach to the ancient art of whittling ... all sounds a bit evil to me!
... to consider the benefits of using floral flower mixes
the removal of a couple of bolts gained aces to the shaft
... they whittled their opponents out for just over 50
... has paid off handsomely, both off and off the field of play
Greens are mown with pedestrians
The wild life seen out on the course is immeasurable
… while having to put up with quite a bit of up evil while a new temporary stand is being built
He’s the industry’s marmite really - you either loathe him or hate him!
