'I can really empathise with the basketball hoop.'

'There's more to life than winning, son. There's also betting against your own team when you lose.'

"Good game."

"Break his third chakra!" "Knock the dharma out of him!"

'Let's go over our secret play.'

"All this pitching and hitting- I'm convinced there's a deeper meaning to it all."

'The score is tied and we've only got a 20-second timeout, so we've gotta be quick. ... I'm 'X'. Who wants to be 'O'?'

"Yin and Yankee fan"

'I read that the ball is on the surface of the club for just 0.00035 of a second, so even when you take 100 shots to go around, you are only getting less than 1 second of golf for your money...'

'Aw, come on guys - at the end of the day, it's only a game - right?'

"I don't think he can touch your in-the-dirt ball."

'I will need to watch the replay.'

'Finally, I have a player on the floor who can run the offense.'

'OK, here's the play, based on your prorated salaries...'

"Sorry, I don't know what a handball is anymore either."

Grim Reaper in trainers.

'What? Hand out assists to my teammates? That will just create a cycle of dependency!'

'Here! Call the contractor. I don't want to hear any nonsense about goals, or touchdowns, or baskets. I want to see shovels! Lots and lots of shovels!'

'I wouldn't mind but the video replay showed I was right to award the penalty.'

'We lost six nil!. . . and we were lucky to get the nil!'

''I'm missing the football game' is very incisive. Can you go on with that thought.'
