Whoa, I guess my joke really hit a nerve with some of the denizens of this board.
I'll be more careful next time.

Joke all you like, just don't falsely attribute a quote to somebody that makes him look like a jerk. Now if you had said, "I'm glad nobody sat out the games to prepare for their pro careers," it would have been fine, and possibly funnier.
