Famous quotes containing the words cue and/or sports:

    Were it my cue to fight, I should have known it
    Without a prompter.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.
    Walter Wellesley (Red)
