bike.jpgIn honor of the legal ruling expected to come down today involving the Williams Wall, we thought we would return to our old format and provide 10 quotes from movies that involve some sort of courtroom scene or legal issue. First, however, we must note that this blog has featured Q&As with exactly one-tenth of the 30 candidates for Sexiest Sportscaster of the Year. We’re not sure what exactly that means, but the other 27 ladies should officially be put on notice. RandBall is a career-defining decision. Lisa Guerrero, Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson know it. OK, to the quotes:

1. Oh! And it’s scented! I think it gives it a little something extra, don’t you think? Ok, well, see you next class!

2. Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You?

3. Well, I guess the laws of physics cease to exist on top of your stove. Were these magic grits? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?

4. Guilty of living in a world that had no place for me, yeah. Guilty of wanting to be a dry cleaner, sure. But not a murderer. He said I *was* modern man, and if they voted to convict me, well, they’d be practically cinching the noose around their own necks.

5. I don’t understand you people! I mean all these picky little points you keep bringing up. They don’t mean nothing. You saw this kid just like I did. You’re not gonna tell me you believe that phony story about losing the knife, and that business about being at the movies.

6. This is the essence of discrimination: formulating opinions about others not based on their individual merits, but rather on their membership in a group with assumed characteristics.

7. Objection, Your Honor: strangling the witness.

8. No player who sits in conference with a bunch of crooked players and gamblers where the ways and means of throwing a ball game are discussed, and does not promptly tell his club about it… will ever play professional baseball again.

9. Yeah, you don’t know what is like when you try, and you try, and you try, and you try, and you don’t ever get there! Because you were born perfect and I was born like this, and you’re perfect!

10. Here goes: I sped. I followed too closely. I ran a stop sign. I almost hit a Chevy. I sped some more. I failed to yield at a crosswalk. I changed lanes at the intersection. I changed lanes without signaling while running a red light and *speeding*!

Fasola-link! Mustaches in the NFL.
