THANKFULLY for us, most sportsmen and women have no idea when to shut up.
We bring you the best and worst sports quotes of 2012.
It was an absolute disaster, I can't believe we made it. We had to hire a private jet.
The people of Fiji may question your definition of disaster, Ryan Haller, but tee time at the Australian Open must be more stressful than we'd ever imagined.
It's difficult to compare it against anything else because it's one of the biggest sporting events, if not the biggest in the world.
Someone should probably point Sergio Garcia in the direction of the Olympics and World Cup, before he lines up in the Ryder Cup again.
If it's not working one way, you can kick them in the f***ing head.
Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson discusses the finer points of what it takes to compete in the UFC.
I say they're just f***ing w***ers. I cannot be doing with people like that.
Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins left us wondering what he really thought about people who accuse him of drug-taking.
It’s what I came here to do. I’m now a legend, I’m the greatest athlete to live.

No, your mum has given me aids
And you have given us another reason not to respond to Twitter trolls,Brock McLean, after the Carlton midfielder copped a $5000 fine and a suspended one-match ban for that response to a punter who questioned whether he'd been delisted.

Australian 400m runner John Stephensen surprised everyone by unloading his thoughts for the millionth time time in his career, this time on Athletics Australia over its Olympic selection decisions. Sadly, this time he was probably right.
