One of the original members of the Monday Night Football crew passed away on Monday as Don Meredith died at the age of 72.
In memory of Meredith, USA Today shared some of his best lines.
“If ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ were candy and nuts, wouldn’t it be a merry Christmas?”
On teammate Walt Garrison: “If you needed four yards, you’d give the ball to Garrison and he’d get you four yards. If you needed 20 yards, you’d give the ball to Garrison and he’d get you four yards.”
His comment when Vice President Spiro Agnew visited the Monday Night booth: “I didn’t vote for you, but you do have a nice suit on.”
On playing for Tom Landry: “He’s such a perfectionist that if he were married to Dolly Parton he’d expect her to cook.”
Unfortunately, I was just a twinkle in my father’s eye when Meredith was doing his thing on MNF but I’ve heard these quotes before and they’re classic.
