Roy Hobbs -- "There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Roy Hobbs has allowed to live."; "The Great Wall of China was originally built to keep out Roy Hobbs. It failed miserably."; ""Roy Hobbs" just got added to the Webster dictionary.  It means perfection personified!"; "Roy Hobbs is a cross between Michael Scofield and Jack Bauer."; "Scientists no longer worry about the sun burning out. Roy Hobbs can provide enough heat and light for several worlds."; "Roy Hobbs doesn't do push ups. Instead he pushes the Earth down."

Apparently, the borders of reality do not apply to Roy Hobbs, either. He also talks about himself in the third person.  ::)

In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

This is like "Insert your own Chuck Norris joke here except for substitute Roy Hobbs for Chuck Norris."

Kobe choked in game 6 because Roy Hobbs threatened to round house kick him in the face. Oh, and because he's Kobe...

No wonder. No matter the competition, we always come in second place...

Roy Hobbs was in fact the REAL Walker, Texas Ranger.

  • Yup
Roy once offered his legal services pro bono in a case defending Bono.  Of course the jury ruled pro Bono.
Yup

Roy Hobbs says, "Vote Portland".

Roy Hobbs is the reason the Marquis Daniels signing has been held up; the Pacers are insisting Hobbs be traded to "Indy Cornrows".

Don't do it, Danny!  (Unless you can get me an interview with Larry.)

Steve Jobs once made Roy Hobbs mad.  Steve had the option of letting Roy take a bite out of the apple, or Roy would take a bite out of him.

The rest is history.
