They Said It

? Muhammad Ali: "You can see Joe Frazier's fights on home television. When I fight, they need four satellites to broadcast it."

?Billy Grabarkewitz, Los Angeles Dodger in fielder, on the name on the back of his uniform: "Unless I spread my arms, you can't see the G and the Z."

? Paul Brown, Cincinnati Bengal coach, on the decision to move in the hash-marks on pro football fields: "It's going to affect the game more than is generally realized. It takes the sidelines away from the defense. I think we'll have more passing, more teams gambling on third down, fewer field goals."

? Don Zimmer, San Diego Padre manager, watching rookie Derrel Thomas talking to his boyhood idol, Maury Wills: "That's what's wrong with the world today. Thomas is asking Wills for advice and he's doing 90% of the talking."
