Welcome to a very special edition of movie quote Friday in which all quotes will come from films that featured athletes (at least in cameo roles). The quotes won’t necessarily be lines spoken by athletes, but you can earn some serious RandBall bonus points (kind of like Camel Cash) for naming the athlete in the film as well. Are you ready? We are.

1. “Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin’ there, there’s 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man? … I would go for the 7.”

2. “I am serious … and don’t call me Shirley.”

3. “Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn’t anything to regret for the rest of their life. Well good luck to you Peter. I’m sure this decision won’t haunt you forever.”

4. “It’s the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Day.”

5. “I hate my name. What kind of name is Jesus anyway?”

6. “I didn’t want to be the one to tell him, but with those narrow hips, that girl couldn’t have more than 6 or 7 children!”

7. “Soccer style kicker graduated from Collier High June 1976, Stetson University honors graduate class of 1980, holds 2 NCAA Division One records, one for most points in a season, one for distance, former nickname “The Mule,” the first and only pro-athlete ever to come out of Collier County and one hell of a model American.”

8. “It’s like my ex-wife. 21 different personalities and 7 of them hated me.”

9. “Enrico Fermi would roll over in his [redacted] grave if he heard that.”

10. “The only reason you are playing for the Cubs is because you broke your stupid arm!”

Have at it …
