"I had nothing to do with the coaching search at Tennessee. Nothing. I know there are all reports that I was tremendously involved. I'm a huge backer and supporter of the University of Tennessee, as is our entire family, but I was not involved in the coaching search" -- Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam (CLEVELAND.com, 12/8).

"It was huge, especially in Vancouver and Russia. It was absolutely massive. That's all everyone was talking about. Now that they're not seeing the best players in the world, it's definitely going to diminish the hockey in the Olympics, for sure" -- Kings D Drew Doughty, on the potential impact of NHLers not being able to compete in Pyeongchang (LATIMES.com, 12/9).

"Next to the Amazon job it's the most coveted job in the United States. The owners thought enough of the man to pay him that much money so, hey, I can't knock him" -- Lions S Don Carey, in response to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell signing a five-year extension worth $200M (DETROIT NEWS, 12/9).

"If you try to institutionalize losing, that's hard to get out of your building. You may never get that out of your building" -- Knicks GM Scott Perry, on the team not tanking in order to get a high lottery pick in the '18 Draft (NYPOST.com, 12/9).

“I don’t care about Sashi Brown’s GPA at Harvard. He flunked his way out of the National Football League” -- CBS Sports Net's Adam Schein, on the Browns firing their Exec VP/Football Operations and replacing him with John Dorsey (“That Other Pregame Show,” CBSSN, 12/10).
