Carl Everett Quotes - Carl Everett's Dinosaur Quotes

Carl Everett is a crazy man... He's played for 1/3rd of the teams in Major League Baseball - including my beloved Red Sox (2000 and 2001) - and somehow won a world series ring with the Chicago White Sox last season. Not only is Carl Everett a hot headed individual... he's also a man of strange convictions who - when in front of a microphone - is capable of saying the most fascinating, bizarre things. If you've ever seen Carl Everett play in Fenway Park since his departure from the Red Sox organization in 2001, you will hear chants regarding Dinosaurs when he takes the plate. Why? Because Everett's most fascinating quotes revolve around Dinosaurs which he emphatically claims did NOT exist. He has made this claim on multiple occassions. Read on - because its very enjoyable

    * Carl Everett on fans of Major League Baseball, from Maxim Magazine:

Dinosaurs... Dinosaurs... Dinosaurs... Carl Everett the scientist...

    * Carl Everett on dinosaurs?
          o "Didn't exist. God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve. The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus rex."

    * Carl Everett on the abundance of excavated dinosaur bones:
          o "Made by man."

    * Carl Everett on the July 20, 1969 Moon landing by Neil Armstrong:
          o "Yeah, that could have happened. It's possible. That is something you could prove. You can't prove dinosaurs ever existed. I feel it's far-fetched."

    * Carl Everett on Barry Bonds:
          o "I eat pieces of poop like him for breakfast."

    * Carl Everett on eating pieces of poop:
          o "It's better than pieces of dinosaur."

    * Carl Everett on dinosaurs from Maxim Magazine's July 2005 Mouth of the South Side interview:
          o "Nope. And that never will change. First of all, paleontologists don’t believe one another on their own discoveries—how can I believe in people who don’t even believe in it themselves? And biblically, there’s no mention of dinosaurs. According to the word of the Bible, Adam had dominion over all animals; according to man, dinosaurs ruled the Earth. So either God’s a liar, or…well, I don’t believe that God’s a liar."

    * Carl Everett on dinosaur bones, also from Maxim:
          o "You can make bones in the lab nowadays. And every year they come out with a different dinosaur movie, so does that mean that that dinosaur existed? A lot of things are being made that you would never see walk on this Earth."

    * Carl Everett on the reasons why nearly the entire scientific community believes dinosaurs existed, also from Maxim:
          o "Why would they say a lot of things that aren’t real? That’s the thing—no one thinks for themselves. If everybody would think logically, then they would come to their own conclusions. That’s what I do."

    * On controversial former Major League all-star José Canseco:
          o "He is a bitter, ignorant individual."

    * On the congressional steroid hearings:
          o "We have a war going on — I have family in that war — yet we're talking about steroids. ... If everybody in the world got on steroids, we'll still lose more kids to a war than we will from steroids."
