Interesting Quotes By Guys Named Richard


I know you won't believe me, but I was actually planning this post BEFORE Richard Sherman sounded off after that playoff game the other night. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Sherman's quote is the last one in this collection. Enjoy?  ~  JH

you want to keep it quiet – don't tell a soul."

or I'm'll shut it for you real quick! L.O.B.!"
