Talk Soup

Atlanta Tipoff Club president Gary Stokan, on presenting Tina Charles with the Naismith Trophy after UConn's 2010 NCAA Championship:
"Tina took a talented UConn team and made it even better, which is representative of the leadership qualities she possesses. She enjoyed a remarkable senior season and we are thrilled to reward her with the most prestigious trophy in college basketball."

Now ex-Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, on his new future with the Washington Redskins :
"Hail to the Redskins.”

Diablo Cody to New York Magazine, on the shortcomings of her film Jennifer’s Body:
"I hate it on American Idol when they do a horrible performance and they go, ‘Well, I had fun.’ I think thats [ridiculous]. If you failed, you didn’t have fun."

Dancing With The Stars contender, Evan Lysacek, tweeting about the many twitter updates about his broken toe:
“Toe needs his own Twitter page.”

Lil’ Wayne, in the letter ‘Gone ‘til November’ to his fans from his new blog site:
“During my prison stint, I want my fans to know I love you. I want all of you to know I appreciate all the mail I get, and this is my way of saying thank you.”

A Master’s Tournament audience member, on forgiving Tiger Woods and focusing on his golf game:

“The man’s a Buddhist, and this is the Bible Belt. We forgive. This week, people in Augusta look at one thing--how well do you hit a white ball?”

Brian Dawkins, on why he believes trading McNabb was a bad idea, saying that the rest of the Eagles are finally playing at McNabb’s level:

“So you're finally getting...all those weapons in place and now you don't allow him to grow with those weapons and have those weapons grow with him, so that they can see if this is the mix that could finally get Philadelphia that championship. You know what? For me, I would say yes."

Nationals manager Jim Riggleman, when asked if the Nationals enjoyed President Obama’s visit and their home opener against the Phillies:
“That’s like asking Mrs. Lincoln how she enjoyed the rest of the play.”

Butler head coach Brad Stevens, proud of this team during the extremely close 2010 NCAA title game against Duke:
“We just came up a bounce short. There’s certainly nothing to hang your head about. I told them in there, what they’ve done, what they did together, will last longer than one night, regardless of the outcome.”

Serena Williams to People magazine:
“Everyone is obsessed with weight! Seeing I’m not a size 2, I could hopefully encourage people to be like, ‘Thick is in.’ But sometimes, I’m still like, ‘I hate these thighs.’”
Pitcher Roy Halladay, on his new home with the Phillies:


“Nothing against Toronto, but it kind of gives you a renewed energy coming over here.”

Umpire Joe West, on the slow pace of play by the Red Sox and the Yankees:
“It’s pathetic and embarrassing. They take too long to play. They’re the two clubs that don’t try to pick up the pace.”
