It may be too early to know the full level of attention this now-famous and somewhat prescient quote will receive, but where do you guys (and gals) think that it will rank in the hierarchy of famous quotes, including (but by no means limited) to the following:

"the Jets are going to win the Super Bowl. I guarantee it."

"The two of them deserve each other. One is a born liar; the other is convicted."


"I am the straw that stirs the drink." (possible misquotation; later denied, therefore, a putative quote.)


I know that all of the sports junkies on this board are erudite enough to know the authors of the above statements, so I will not bother typing them in.

It almost seems like "Google Me" might be the name of Cignetti's autobiography someday. Just an idea, though.

I've read it before, but my memory is not great these days. Who said that please?
And, thank you.
Billy Martin, Yankees manager (soon thereafter ex-manager), July 1977. Refering to : Reggie Jackson and George Steinbrenner, respectively.

I was being a little facetious in my comment above about not needing to ascribe the authors, as I realize that no one knows everything about a subject. just that a lot of us old-time sports junkies probably remember the incident.

Don't forget a young Gundy's epic melt down at Okie State.
