The Miami Herald has a compilation of what it calls the top 25 quotes in Miami Dolphins history. No. 23 is one from Dave Wannstedt on "why he liked quarterback Jay Fiedler over the available Trent Green in January 2001." Find it and the rest of the quotes here.
Atlanta Braves farmhand Jason Heyward has been called the No. 1 prospect in all of minor league baseball, and if the last name rings a bell it might be because his father was a Dartmouth athlete, although not a baseball or football player. This story explains:
Athleticism is nothing new in Heyward's family. His uncle played college basketball on the 1964 UCLA championship team under John Wooden. Both of his parents are Ivy League graduates (Dartmouth) where his father was a standout basketball player in his own right.The young Heyward earlier told legendary baseball writer Peter Gammons of ESPN.com why he didn't follow his parents' footsteps to Dartmouth:
"No way with that weather," Heyward said. "If I had gone to college, I would have gone to UCLA, where my uncle Kenny Washington played basketball."Yesterday's note quoting the local columnist about what he thinks Dartmouth needs in its next athletic director apparently hit a few resonant chords.
