Your #QUOTESANITY Champion
There wasn't much Randy Wittman could do to get through to JaVale McGee about why he was benched, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop Can't Say I Do from winning #QUOTESANITY. With 59 percent of the vote, Can't Say I Do took down Valentine's Shories to become this year's champion.
Although Can't Say I Do was presumptive favorite from the onset, it faced some stiff competition along the way to the title. As we all expected, the McGee Bracket was the deepest of the four, and at times, made us question whether or not they'd even survive as the best McGee quote. Then, it had to face off against Andray Blatche's career-defining quote in the semifinals, where it hung on with just 52 percent of the vote. After all that, the finals were a relative breeze. Can't Say I Do's margin of victory in the finals over Valentine's Shorties was the second largest win for Can't Say I Do in the tournament.
Now that Can't Say I Do has taken its rightful spot as #QUOTESANITY champion, it can begin exploring how to maximize its newfound fame. Cant Say I Do has already come to terms with Truth About It on a movie deal, and we expect to see much more down the pipe. We can't say we know exactly what just yet, but we'll figure it out sooner or later.
#QUOTESANITY: 1. Can't Say I Do vs. 2. Valentine's Shorties
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In our final installment, we crown a champion between Can't Say I Do and Valentine's Shorties.
1. Can't Say I Do
I can't say I do, but I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later. - JaVale McGee, when asked if he understood the message Randy Wittman was trying to send by benching him.
2. Valentine's Shorties
I'm the wrong person to talk to about Valentine's Day. I usually get rid of my shorties around now. -Jordan Crawford, when asked what gifts he gives for Valentine's Day.
When you've gone this far in #QUOTESANITY, each quote is a winner in its own special way. We'll remember the contribution each one made to lightening a dark season in the franchise's history. Now, it's time to vote on which quote shone brightest.
#QUOTESANITY: 2. Valentine's Shorties vs. 8. Likes White Players
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In this installment, we fill our other spot in the finals, with Jordan Crawford's Valentine's Shories facing off against Life In The Cellar regional champion Likes White Players.
2. Valentine's Shorties
I'm the wrong person to talk to about Valentine's Day. I usually get rid of my shorties around now. -Jordan Crawford, when asked what gifts he gives for Valentine's Day.
8. Likes White Players
I don't know how much he trusts rookies, but I heard that he likes white players, so we'll see. -Jan Vesely when asked by a Czech website what he knew about Wizards coach Flip Saunders. He later clarified that he meant European players, but still, that's a great quote.
As you vote, keep in mind #QUOTESANITY is all about finding the best quote from this year, so it should really represent the best of what this season had to offer. So what represents the season better: Abandoning relationships in the name of money, or misunderstandings leading to unintentionally wild accusations? It's time to vote.
#QUOTESANITY: 1. Can't Say I Do vs. 8. Willing To Die For This
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In this installment, we kick off the final four with our McGee and Humblebrag Regional champions. Our two competitors got here on two wildly different paths. Top overall seed Can't Say I Do has gone through some tight battles but proven itself worthy of its seeding. Willing To Die For This, on the other hand, has thoroughly crushed their higher seeded competition to get here.
1. Can't Say I Do
I can't say I do, but I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later. - JaVale McGee, when asked if he understood the message Randy Wittman was trying to send by benching him.
8. Willing To Die For This
I told my teammates: I'm willing to give y'all 100-percent out of me every game. I'm willing to die for this. -Andray Blatche at Media Day
It may not wind up being as epic as DOOM AT THE SHADOW ROOM, but this match-up promises to bring the fireworks. It's time to vote.
#QUOTESANITY: 6. Good Behavior vs. 8. Likes White Players
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In this installment, we determine a winner for the Life In The Cellar Region, which features two of the three lowest seeds. Good Behavior snuffed out Randy Wittman On Cigarettes with 64 percent of the vote. In our other battle, Jan Vesely's unintentional accusation bounced Space Jam with 63 percent.
6. Good Behavior
What's funny is when JaVale and Nick got traded this year, they called me and said, 'We out on good behavior. Dray went up for his parole hearing and got denied. We make a joke about it. -Gilbert Arenas on keeping in touch with his former teammates
8. Likes White Players
I don't know how much he trusts rookies, but I heard that he likes white players, so we'll see. -Jan Vesely when asked by a Czech website what he knew about Wizards coach Flip Saunders. He later clarified that he meant European players, but still, that's a great quote.
It seems like a crime that either Gilbert Arenas or Jan Vesely wouldn't make it to the Top 4, but that's what we face as we start our final regional. Make your decision wisely.
#QUOTESANITY: 1. Blow It In The Club vs. 2. Valentine's Shorties
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In this installment, we crown a champion in the Cash, Cars, Women and Food Region where both top seeds are still standing. Blow It In The Club shaved off Five Pounds Of Hair with 59 percent of the vote and Jordan Crawford's Valentine's Shories got rid of Beer For Lunch with 78 percent of the vote.
1. Blow It In The Club
Either that or blow it in the club - Chris Singleton on why he spent $10,000 on Mega Millions tickets.
2. Valentine's Shorties
I'm the wrong person to talk to about Valentine's Day. I usually get rid of my shorties around now. -Jordan Crawford, when asked what gifts he gives for Valentine's Day.
Both of these quotes say something about the spending habits of young men, but it's up to you to decide which investment strategy you endorse. It's time to vote.
#QUOTESANITY: 3. American Jan Vesely vs. 8. Willing To Die For This
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In this installment, we select a champion for the Humblebrag Regional. American Jan Vesely got here by beating the Morris Almond Era with 63 percent of the vote, while Willing To Die For This continued its Cinderella run with 57 percent of the vote over Nick Young's Complete Player quote.
3. American Jan Vesely
I don't know, I think Blake Griffin is the American Jan Vesely. -Jan Vesely when asked on draft night about being called the "European Blake Griffin".
8. Willing To Die For This
I told my teammates: I'm willing to give y'all 100-percent out of me every game. I'm willing to die for this. -Andray Blatche at Media Day
Each quote had a unique and important role in shaping the 2011-12 Wizards, but only one can advance for the chance to have the final word on this season. It's time to vote.
#QUOTESANITY: 1. Can't Say I Do vs. 3. Apparently Not
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In this installment, we begin quarterfinal action with the McGee Regional Final. Can't Say I Do got here after squeaking out of Round 2 with 55 percent of the vote over 1 Percent Full. Apparently Not upset Future of the NBA with 65 percent of the vote to make it here today.
1. Can't Say I Do
I can't say I do, but I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later. - JaVale McGee, when asked if he understood the message Randy Wittman was trying to send by benching him.
3. Apparently Not
Apparently, if you get a fast break and throw it off the backboard in the third quarter, and you're 1-11, you're not supposed to do stuff like that. - JaVale McGee after being benched for doing just that.
JaVale McGee had a season to remember in Washington, but only one of his illustrious quotes can advance to the final four. I get the feeling your choice may be swayed by how you feel about riding dogs like small horses.
#QUOTESANITY: 2. Randy Wittman On Cigarettes vs. 6. Good Behavior
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In this installment, Randy Wittman's habit-breaking ways face off against Gilbert Arenas' Get Out Of Jail Free card. Randy Wittman On Cigarettes got here by beating Nick Young's Not Top 10 Curse with two-thirds of the vote while Arenas' Good Behavior quote advanced after beating Guys Aren't Listening with 84 percent of the vote.
2. Randy Wittman On Cigarettes
It's like any bad habit we have. If you're a smoker, you ain't going to drop those habits in a day. I've got to help them kick some of these bad habits that we're in. That's all it is. We've fallen into playing a way that's not conducive for us to win. So when I see them pull out a cigarette, I got to take it out of my mouth.. - Randy Wittman on trying to curb the team's bad habits
6. Good Behavior
What's funny is when JaVale and Nick got traded this year, they called me and said, 'We out on good behavior. Dray went up for his parole hearing and got denied. We make a joke about it. -Gilbert Arenas on keeping in touch with his former teammates
Both of these quotes provide some insight into the team culture and what went wrong this season, but which one stood out more to you. It's time to vote.
#QUOTESANITY: 4. Space Jam vs. 8. Likes White Players
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In this installment, Flip Saunders compares the Wizards to the Toon Squad and then mistakenly gets accused of liking white players. Space Jam got here by beating God Has A Plan with 70 percent of the vote, while Likes White Players knocked out top seeded Sense Of Entitlement with 71 percent in Round 1.
4. Space Jam
The first half we looked like ‘Space Jam' where everyone lost all their talents and couldn't do anything there for a while. But I told them, when you haven't passed the ball very much, and you've been holding the ball and holding it, then all of a sudden, as a team, when you try to start doing it, it's like guys aren't ready. - Flip Saunders on the team after a poor start against Philadelphia.
8. Likes White Players
I don't know how much he trusts rookies, but I heard that he likes white players, so we'll see. -Jan Vesely when asked by a Czech website what he knew about Wizards coach Flip Saunders. He later clarified that he meant European players, but still, that's a great quote.
Something to keep in mind before you vote: If Jan Vesely was right and Flip Saunders was coaching the Toon Squad, Bill Murray and Elmer Fudd would have gotten more playing time. Pretty sure that version of Space Jam would have been much more boring.
#QUOTESANITY: 2. Valentine's Shorties vs. 6. Beer For Lunch
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. In this installment, Jordan Crawford's tips on love take on Jan Vesely's lunch practices.

Meanwhile, Jan Vesely ousted Flip Saunders' Subway diet with 54 percent of the vote.
2. Valentine's Shorties
I'm the wrong person to talk to about Valentine's Day. I usually get rid of my shorties around now. -Jordan Crawford, when asked what gifts he gives for Valentine's Day.
6. Beer For Lunch
I'm Czech so I like beer. :) I'll have one for lunch. :) -Jan Vesely in a Q&A with a Czech website.
Regardless of who wins here, the good news is that Jan will always have someone to drink beer with and Jordan will always have someone to hang with after Valentine's Day. With that in mind, it's time to vote.
#QUOTESANITY: 1. Blow It In The Club vs. 5. Five Pounds Of Hair
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY.

5. Five Pounds Of Hair
I cut my hair, that was five pounds right there. - Andray Blatche on his diet and conditioning
Blow It In The Club has been one of the favorites in #QUOTESANITY, but trying to slim down by cutting your hair deserves respect as well. Who deserves to move on? It's time to vote.

For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY.

3. American Jan Vesely
I don't know, I think Blake Griffin is the American Jan Vesely. -Jan Vesely when asked on draft night about being called the "European Blake Griffin".
7. Morris Almond Era
I went undefeated. I was 6-0. Hold onto that. I'm not going to say anything, but we did go undefeated in the Morris Almond era. I'll let you put 2 and 2 together. -Morris Almond at the Wizards' exit interviews.
This is going to be a tough one. These are two All-Star level quotes from guys who averaged under 5 points per game this season, but only one can advance to the Elite 8.
In case you missed it yesterday, Kevin Seraphin tweeted this. I'll start with the obvious question: WHY IS SPONGEBOB DRESSED LIKE THE DEVIL?
#QUOTESANITY: 8. Willing To Die vs. 5. Complete Player
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY.

My son is the future of the NBA. I don't want him to be part of this culture of losing forever. - Pamela McGee, defending her son to Mike Wise.
3. Apparently Not
Apparently, if you get a fast break and throw it off the backboard in the third quarter, and you're 1-11, you're not supposed to do stuff like that. - JaVale McGee after being benched for doing just that.
While we could spend all day debating JaVale McGee's future in the NBA and the ethics of highlight dunks when you're 1-11 (actually, I'm pretty sure we already have) this isn't the time for that. Now, it's time to vote. The winner moves on the quarterfinals.

U lookin at the glass 99percent empty! What about it being 1 percent full! -JaVale McGee on Twitter after the Wizards started the season 0-6.
The winner advances to the McGee Regional to face today's other winner. So far, it's been all chalk in the McGee region. Does that end today? The choice is yours.

We've fallen into playing a way that's not conducive for us to win. So when I see them pull out a cigarette, I got to take it out of my mouth.. - Randy Wittman on trying to curb the team's bad habits
7. Not Top 10 Curse
I don't know, we had a curse on us for some reason. We was on Not Top 10 every night, right? Every night it was something. Like, we couldn't break the habit. But they drafted me, and I'm gonna miss some of them guys on the team. -Nick Young on an L.A. radio show about his struggles in Washington
When you think about it, there really isn't much difference between a curse and bad habit. As you ponder that, make sure you cast your vote. Winner gets the last spot in the Sweet 16!

Flip is definitely doing his job. I just don't feel like guys are listening and following behind what he says and what he wants us to do. -Andray Blatche on the Wizards struggles early in the season
6. Good Behavior
What's funny is when JaVale and Nick got traded this year, they called me and said, 'We out on good behavior. Dray went up for his parole hearing and got denied. We make a joke about it. -Gilbert Arenas on keeping in touch with his former teammates
Both of these quotes provide some insight into the team culture and what went wrong this season, but which one stood out more to you. It's time to vote.

5. God Has A Plan
It's great. I was a little scared a couple days ago, but I understand God had a plan, and the plan is to be here. I'm going to do my best. That's all I can promise. Do anything possible to help the team, help the young guys, to do what is asked of me and be happy. -Nene on being traded to the Wizards.

#QUOTESANITY: 1. Sense Of Entitlement vs. 8. Likes White Players
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. Today, we move to the Life in the Basement region and start with Maurice Evans venting about his teammates and Jan Vesely learning odd things about Flip Saunders.
1. Sense Of Entitlement
The sense of entitlement that's here sometimes, I've never seen before. We have to start earning things. Earn your way into the rotation. Earn your way onto the floor, and then you earn your minutes by being productive, and when you're not in the rotation, you be supportive and make guys better in practice. -Maurice Evans after a team meeting to address the team's struggles.
8. Likes White Players
I don't know how much he trusts rookies, but I heard that he likes white players, so we'll see. -Jan Vesely when asked by a Czech website what he knew about Wizards coach Flip Saunders. He later clarified that he meant European players, but still, that's a great quote.

7. Three Cereal Meals
Probably Kellog's, because I eat a lot of cereal. I eat cereal, like, three times a day. -Trevor Booker on which company he would like to have as a uniform sponsor.
While we at Bullets Forever do not necessarily endorse either strategy proposed here (although some of us could eat Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch all day), we do think they make for some solid quotes. Vote away!
#QUOTESANITY: 3. The Subway Diet vs. 6. Beer For Lunch

3. The Subway Diet
You can say it really kills you to lose, but until it really kills you? For me, for 3-4 weeks, I've been on a steady diet of Subway, which is 20 minutes from my condo, and I bring it back up to my apartment. Because like I said, you don't feel good about yourself. As a team, that's how it has to be. It has to really hurt a lot. - Flip Saunders on how he coped with the team's losing ways.
6. Beer For Lunch
I'm Czech so I like beer. :) I'll have one for lunch. :) -Jan Vesely in a Q&A with a Czech website.

I cut my hair, that was five pounds right there. - Andray Blatche on his diet and conditioning

#QUOTESANITY: 1. Blow It In The Club vs. 8. Still Without A Car
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. Our current match-up features Chris Singleton talking about Mega Millions and Jan Vesely's struggles to get a license.

I don't know, I think Blake Griffin is the American Jan Vesely. -Jan Vesely when asked on draft night about being called the "European Blake Griffin".
6. No body will punk
No body will punk a player of the Washington wizards! #RealTalk -Kevin Seraphin on Twitter after getting in a shoving match with Marcus Camby.
Which quote stands out more to you? It takes a lot of gusto to compare yourself to Blake Griffin on draft night, but it also takes a special brand of Kahunas to say you won't be punked on Twitter. Vote away!

For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY. We continue through the Humblebrag Region as we focus on two of the best quotes from the Wizards' shooting guards.

#QUOTESANITY: 1. This Is Your Captain vs. 8. Willing To Die For This
For the next few weeks, we're voting on the top Wizards quote of the year, bracket-style, in a little something we like to call #QUOTESANITY.

Believe it or not, both of these quotes came from Andray Blatche.
1. This Is Your Captain
How y'all doing? This is your captain, Andray Blatche. On behalf of myself, my teammates, the whole Washington Wizard organization, we want to say we strongly appreciate y'all sticking around all summer. It's been a long summer. It's a shortened season, but it's gonna be tough, and we're gonna need you guys - the best fans in the NBA - to be our sixth man. So in other words, let's get this season started. - Andray Blatche to the fans at the Verizon Center before the Wizards home opener.
8. Willing To Die For This
