? Ron Meyer , Indianapolis Colt coach known for his malapropisms, shrugging off his bold decision to start rookie Jeff George at quarterback this season: "It isn't like I came down from Mount Sinai with the tabloids."

?Beano Cook, ESPN football commentator, making a comparison of two University of Virginia notables: " Virginia already has spent more on plugging [quarterback] Shawn Moore for the Heisman Trophy than Thomas Jefferson spent getting elected President."
