Sporting KC defender Matt Besler quotes 'Happy Gilmore' in post-match interview

Denny Medley / USA TODAY Sports

Sporting Kansas City defender Matt Besler had an interesting take on his side's 0-0 draw with the Portland Timbers, giving reporters in Oregon what seemed like a canned quote after the match.

"This is always a very difficult place to play," Besler said. "It was a hard-fought draw. I tell you the real winner today is the city of Portland. Every time we come here it gets harder to leave. I bet you guys put something in the water."

Sounds pretty straightforward, right? Nope.

That, right there, is an almost-verbatim quote pulled straight out of the mouth of Shooter McGavin from Adam Sandler's golf comedy "Happy Gilmore."
