I have always loved this one:

Latrell Sprewell, upon being offered a contract extension, rejected it, replying: "I told you I needed to feed my family, they offered me 3 years at $21 million. That’s not going to cut it." My sympathies to your family, who apparently are all victims of the vicious "Gastroblingitis" pathogen, which transforms your digestive system into one which can only process diamonds and gold.

And continuing on the family theme, former MLB player Tito Fuentes said, after being beaned by a pitcher, "They shouldn't throw at me. I'm the father of five or six kids."

Chuck Nevitt, formerly a basketball player for the Tarheels, once said: "My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know whether I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt." Well, Chuck, that's one of them there medical mysteries.
