Ten bad sports jokes I wrote in 1983.
- “The Philadelphia 76ers just won the NBA Championship. They said their strategy was simple: score more points than the other team. Revolutionary!”
- “John Elway was just drafted by the Baltimore Colts, but he doesn’t want to play for them. I haven’t seen someone avoid Baltimore this much since… well, anyone who’s ever been to Baltimore.”
- “The Washington Redskins won the Super Bowl this year. Their secret? They said they just imagined the football was a giant turkey leg at Thanksgiving.”
- “The ‘Pine Tar Incident’ with George Brett and the Kansas City Royals – you know, I’ve heard of sticky situations in baseball, but this is ridiculous!”
- “Björn Borg retired from tennis this year. He said he wanted to spend more time with his headbands.”
- “The New York Islanders won their fourth consecutive Stanley Cup. At this rate, they’re going to need a bigger island.”
- “The first World Championships in Athletics took place in Helsinki this year. It’s like the Olympics, but without the five rings, the torch, or the fun mascots.”
- “The Chicago White Sox wore shorts for a few games in the ’70s, and this year they’re bringing back the old uniforms for nostalgia. Because nothing says ‘serious athletes’ like showing off your kneecaps.”
- “Golf legend Jack Nicklaus won the PGA Championship this year. When asked about his secret, he said, ‘It’s simple. I just imagine the golf ball owes me money.'”
- “Marvin Hagler defended his middleweight title against Roberto Durán. It was a great match, but I was just there for the snacks.”
