Stupid Quotes from Athletes

We think that athletes are WAY overpaid. Some of these quotes that our friend Cathy sent us prove it. 
Its no surprise that these guys can't get a regular job (that involves the English language) after they leave their playing fields. Enjoy!

 1.  Chicago Cubs  outfielder Andre Dawson on being a role model:
   "I wan' all dem kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I wan' all  de kids to copulate me."

2. New Orleans Saint RB George  Rogers when asked about the upcoming season:    "I   want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes  first."

3. And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skin's  say:   "I'd run over my own mother to win the Super  Bowl,"
    Matt Millen of the Raiders said: "To  win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too."

4. Torrin Polk,   University of Houston receiver, on his  coach, John Jenkins:
   "He treat us like mens. He  let us wear earrings.."
