Simpsons and Sports

The article is old and may have even been posted before but nonetheless I will still post it.

The Simpson's got game

Society put away Drederick Tatum for his brutal crime. But he's paid his debt, and now, he's going to get revenge ... on Homer Simpson.

78. Basketball Skills, and Grammar to Boot: The family attends a WNBA game, and lo and behold Ned Flanders is chosen for the halftime giveaway shot. Flanders sinks it, and tells Homer that, along with hard work, honest living and flossing his teeth, tail and toes, a little prayer never hurts. Bart enjoys this exchange with WNBA all-star Lisa Leslie.

Bart: Hey, Lisa! You got game!

Lisa Leslie: Isn't it "I have game"?

Bart: Whatever.

Ugh, they butchered that quote.

Bart: Hey, Lisa Leslie! You got game!
Lisa Leslie: I think you mean "I have game"? Try to speak correctly.
Bart: You go girl!
Lisa Leslie: Yes, I will depart...lest your bad grammar rub off on me.

75. Not the Yankees? With the town caught in a rabid anti-immigration movement, Apu feels obliged to prove his love for America by wearing a cowboy hat and a baseball jersey. "What do you say we take a relaxed attitude toward work and watch the baseball match? The N.Y. Mets are my favorite squadron," he says to a customer, pronouncing N.Y. as "nye."

And by "customer" he means Homer.

Some stretches in that article, a lot of the moments only refer (and sometimes quite vaguely) to sports rather than being "sporting moments".
