They Said It

? Bob Ojeda, New York Mets pitcher, when asked whether he would like to have the fastball of teammate Randy Myers: "Not if I have to have his brain too."

? Tom Penders, newly named basketball coach at Texas, on why he won't make any predictions as to how good the Longhorns will be: "A good friend of mine told me a long time ago that the best way to save face is to keep the lower half of it shut."

? Dan Fouts, former San Diego Chargers quarterback, after announcing that he was calling it quits: "Now that I'm retired, I want to say that all defensive linemen are sissies."
