    There's no one place to put this but this is good as any, as most would be made to the media.

    I'll start with

    "I’d rather you didn’t jump on the (Crew) bandwagon, to be quite honest." -Crew Forward Alejandro Moreno, when asked if he thought the media in Columbus would 'get on' now the team is winning.

    Sheeeshh... I think we'd better limit this.

    Current or RECENTLY RETIRED Soccer players. We all know Best's favorite, etc.

    My favorite of all time is Charles Barkley claiming he'd been misquoted ... in his autobiography.

    Okay; not recent by any means, but one of my favorite sports quotes of all time: When asked if it bothered him to take 10 shots on goal in order to get a hattrick, striker Ray Kennedy replied, "ye canny win the raffle if ye dinny buy a ticket."

    And I just ran across one of Schelotto's early quotes.

    Asked what he likes about Crew Fans:

    They show up. Of course it was translated... assume he meant 'still'
