So I guess it should be removed from contention, since that didn't exactly work out so well for Curt?
Iconic Boston Sports Quotes

Small nitpick but the year they came back to beat the 76ers was in '81 and they went on to beat the Rockets.
I'm pretty sure Belichick was reciting a common saying, and that it should not be attributed to him (as its origin at least).
^^^ Greatest Press Conference Ever ^^^

The most amazing thing about the press conference is that he waltzes out with an aura of serenity and understanding, gave a nice little lecture introducing the Ideal Gas Law, shit on a few reporters, took an exasperated shot at Spygate, walked out, and-here's the most amazing part-likely stopped giving a shit about Deflategate at that very moment. Yet here we are 515 or whatever days later...
As for a quote not mentioned, I can't think of a way to type this out, so I present it in video form:
I dunno. It's part of the landscape of that glorious series and he did manage to accomplish that feat in Game 6.
Parenthetically, there is no way I could pick a winner among all of these great lines.
And the Schilling comment in that series reminds me of Ortiz's comment to the press after one of the games in the 2004 Post Season: "Go home and get some ass!"

I remember Parcells saying that during his tenure in NE.
That and "There's No I in Team." Until, of course, there was.
Some of my favorite posts during the press conference:
"This man. He read the whole thread." - patinorange
"Now under each one of your seats, you will find a football and a pressure gauge..." - Obscure Name
"Mona Lisa Vito reference. Finish your drink!" - Preacher
"I need a cigarette." - Infield Infidel
Does everyone remember the buildup to that press conference? It was on a Saturday, 8 days before the Super Bowl. Sometime late morning, it was announced the Pats were having a press conference. I think the announcement was around 11am for a 1pm press conference. And then BB didn't actually come out until like 1:45. Everyone in BBtL was shitting bricks at that point. I was absolutely TERRIFIED that they were going to admit guilt. And the way he started his press conference, it just sounded so bad. And then he put on the greatest press conference in history over the next half hour or whatever. Legend.
"Now watch...I can't circle it, I don't have my telestrator today but HERE COMES THE PIZZA SEE IT? OOOH!" - Remy
"Have some pizza!" - Orsillo
"Have some pizza!" - Orsillo
The first two are attributed to the wit and wisdom of the Boston fans, the last the idiocy and toxicity of an anonymous bigot.
1-"See you Sunday"
2-"Beat LA"
and sadly
3-"Get those (n-word) off the field"

Speaking of the first two... "Just Say No" was pretty hysterical... until Darrrrrylllll parked one.
Also "Where is Roger?"
Yeah, game 4 I believe of the 1999 ALCS. Late innings, fans chanting, game winning home run off Pesky Pole. That sucked.
He might be a bigot but Schilling's mystique and aura quote was pretty good
Edit: this might have been a snakes thing and not Boston

"All I want out of life, is that when I walk down the street folks will say, 'There goes the greatest hitter that ever lived'"
Sweet goodness, living in NJ now, I try telling folks there were two required readings growing up in New England: "Auerbach: For The Player, Fan, and Coach"; and Ted Williams' "The Science of Hitting" (I'm 55, and I can still recite Ted's four rules of hitting, and both of my sons quit baseball for lax eons ago.)
This quote hit me yesterday, stuck in traffic on the GSP:
"Elvis has left the building" - wanna say it was Bob Ryan, after Larry had ducked out a back door while some mediots were waiting for him.
"What are they going to do with those balloons???"
