2010 Quotes of the Year: Wisdom and lunacy
#1
20. "I was jacked leaving that room. I didn't even want to visit another room. It was not enough time. We were excited. We were enthusiastic. There was passion. It was just intense, and it was ball, and it was juice. The juice level in that room was high, and it was awesome."
-- Tim Tebow, on meeting with then-Broncos coach Josh McDaniels at the NFL scouting combine

Page 2 spin: Too bad Tebow played in the SEC, because "Ball" and "Juice" would've been fantastic names for the Big Ten's football divisions.

Page 2 spin: Indeed, there are far worse ways to trespass.

16. "If he was charged with being a colossal a--hole, I would find him guilty. Of assault causing bodily harm, I find him not guilty."

15. "If you send a woman a picture of your junk, it should be humongous. ... That's one of the Ten Commandments."
-- Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, on the Brett Favre cell phone photo controversy

-- Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley, on his team's struggles

Page 2 spin: Dooley's comparison is dubious enough, but don't forget that Nick Saban once drew an analogy to two historical tragedies.


13. "I told you, I was shaving."
-- Indiana woman Megan Barnes, to a Florida state trooper who asked her why she didn't apply the brakes before causing an auto accident

Page 2 spin: Barnes was apparently shaving her bikini line while driving and enlisted a passenger, her ex-husband, to hold the wheel. Meantime, she was on her way to visit her boyfriend in Key West. Umm, moving on ...

11. "I put every dollar I have into this. I've spent over $1 million, almost $2 million, on this album. It's cost as much or more than a Britney Spears album because I wanted it to be that quality ... The songs will make an impact in pop history."
-- Reality TV personality Heidi Montag, on her foray into the music industry

Page 2 spin: Montag's album sold fewer than 1,000 copies in its first week -- cue sound effect -- and the amount spent on production is coincidentally about the same figure that she and Z-lister husband Spencer Pratt owe in back taxes.


10. "If you touch my junk, I'm going to have you arrested."
-- Oceanside, Calif., resident John Tyner, to a Transportation Security Administration worker at San Diego International Airport

Page 2 spin: Byrne later apologized for the message, saying, "I regretted what I said as soon as I hung up." Among friends, we wonder if he's willing to admit it was awesome. Because it was.


6. "I've made mistakes, I clearly did, but what I was hoping for was that some other dumb--- would get on the front page and take me off the hook. I miss Lane Kiffin."
