They Said It

?Dwight Sullivan, New Jersey Generals fullback, asked if he would like to room with Seven Million Dollar Man Doug Flutie: "That's fine. Between us, we'll be worth $7,025,000."

?Phyllis Merhige, American League public relations director, explaining why she wasn't offended by off-color remarks that she'd heard at a baseball banquet: "I don't shock easily. I read the umpires' reports."

?Bill Macatee, a former Dallas sports-caster, reflecting on his days covering the Cowboys: "The big milestone in anybody's career is when Tom Landry calls you by your first name. The first time it happened to me, I almost changed my name to what he called me—Ray."
