They Said It

? Bear Bryant, divulging his favorite play: "It's the one where the player pitches the ball back to the official after scoring a touchdown."

? Don Cherry, Boston Bruins coach, whose team has never lost to the Washington Capitals: "Next time we play them we should wear five-pound weights on our skates."

? Tom McVie, Washington Capitals coach, informed of Cherry's remark: "He's got a lot of class. If he had to start over with an expansion team, he'd be back selling cars in Rochester within a year."
