They Said It

? Floyd Little , Denver Broncos bow-legged running back, after a visit to Wyoming : "I like the folks up there: they all walk just like I do."

? Dick Gordon , Apollo 12 astronaut: "Preparing for a flight into space is much like an athlete's training, except that it takes a bit longer. We train three years for one ball game and there are only 50 players to begin with, and some don't get in the game."

? Robert Trent Jones , golf architect, whose Hazeltine course, site of the 1970 U.S. Open, was subjected to criticism: "At the British Open at St. Andrews I asked one of the American players why they didn't complain about the conditions, since they were much the same as at Hazeltine. He told me, 'St. Andrews is 400 years old and, besides, we don't know whom to blame.' "

? Mrs. Rick Barry , wife of the basketball star, after hearing that Earl Foreman , owner of the Virginia Squires, would release her husband from his contract for $200,000: "Foreman is asking a lot for Rick to pay $200,000. I don't think any man is worth $200,000."
