They Said It

?Jim Boeke, Dallas Cowboy tackle, on big bonuses: "I wasn't exactly a bonus baby. I went to coffee with the scout, and when he offered me $6,500 I not only signed, I paid for the coffee."

? Jackie McCoy , fight manager, on his new lightweight sensation, Mando Ramos , who has won 12 straight: "Don't call him a second Golden Boy. We had one; that was enough. There was nobody like Art Aragon . He was a perfect combination—showman, fighter and rat."

? Bill Veeck on Michael Burke , new Yankee president who was formerly general manager for Ringling Bros , and Barnum & Bailey Circus: "I'm glad to see Mr. Burke has a circus background. When you're in 10th place having been with a circus gives you a better appreciation of clowns."
