SUNDAY FUNNIES: SPORTING HUMOR

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!
Now is a great time to be a sports fan.
Major League Baseball is about to start its new season. College Basketball is finishing up theirs, with the playoffs for professional basketball on the horizon; and of course there's always golf, soccer, and all the other great outdoor sports to look forward to now that the weather is hopefully warming up.
With that in mind, lets have some fun with sports humor.
Ready? Set... GO!

“We were on our game 99% of the time. It was the other 3% that cost us!”

“We didn’t underestimate our opponent. The other team was just a lot better than we thought.”

“Any time we score more than 100 points and hold the other team below 100 points, we almost always win.”

"My professional athletic career was sputtering until I did a 360 and got headed in the right direction."

"I hate being dead last in the standings, especially since we did so great in our preseason games. The only thing that keeps this organization from being recognized as one of the finest in baseball is our wins and losses at the major league level."

One fan complains to another, "We can't win at home. We can't win on the road."
"I know," said the other fan. "But where else can we play?"

When asked about his coach, one player said, "He treats us like men. He lets us wear earrings."

One football player, when asked about his goals, said: "I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first."

The new coach, trying to get his players organized, said, "You guys line up alphabetically by height."

“We can’t run. We can’t pass. We can’t stop the run. We can’t stop the pass. We can’t kick," he said. "Other than that, we’re a good football team.”

And on that note♫, have a great week everybody and please be here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP.

Too much time on my paws

Hello everyone. Autumn the Puppy here.
