  • You know my methods, Watson.
Had Roy Hobbs been running the Clippers for all those years in Los Angeles, Billy Crystal would have been the best known fan (and not Jack Nicholson)...

The only reason the Celtics did not add a player is that they refused to trade Roy Hobbs as their super fan.

If at first you don't succeed, you're not Roy Hobbs.

Roy Hobbs counted to infinity.....twice.

When you don't know the answer to a question just say "Roy Hobbs" and you will be right!!

Women theorize that Roy Hobbs is so hot that he caused global warming.

Daniel Webster's soul would belong to the Devil if he had just hired Roy Hobbs.

Roy doesn't use stamps on his mail.  He just drops his letters in the mailbox with no postage.  Instead of stamping them "RETURNED: POSTAGE DUE" the USPS stamps them, "HAPPY TO SERVE YOU MR. HOBBS, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN DO FOR YOU TODAY." (of course he never sees this because the mail gets delivered elsewhere, but a few of the mail recipients have informed him about it, so you know it's true...and, um...yeh...)
Yup

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, Roy Hobbs is the walrus.
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

I was just talking about the "let me google that for you" start off and than the "was that so hard?"  ;D

It's great for when someone asks an easily googlable question.

As far as that negative stuff goes, Roy Hobbs wrote these lyrics for Eminem:

Quote
I love being hated, it's great it, let's me know that I made it
I wouldn't have it no other way, I wouldn't trade it for the world
Only lets me know that i'm loved by so many others
