Here's a few that I really like.

1. Lee Elia

Here's the sound bite, might take a minute to load (WARNING NSFW) http://www.speakeasy.org/~bucky/lee_elia_br.mp3

Here's the text if you are at work:

"Fuck those fuckin' fans who come out here and say they're Cub fans that are supposed to be behind you rippin' every fuckin' thing you do. I'll tell you one fuckin' thing, I hope we get fuckin' hotter than shit, just to stuff it up them 3,000 fuckin' people that show up every fuckin' day, because if they're the real Chicago fuckin' fans, they can kiss my fuckin' ass right downtown and PRINT IT.

"They're really, really behind you around here... my fuckin' ass. What the fuck am I supposed to do, go out there and let my fuckin' players get destroyed every day and be quiet about it? For the fuckin' nickel-dime people who turn up? The motherfuckers don't even work. That's why they're out at the fuckin' game. They oughta go out and get a fuckin' job and find out what it's like to go out and earn a fuckin' living. Eighty-five percent of the fuckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A fuckin' playground for the cocksuckers. Rip them motherfuckers. Rip them fuckin' cocksuckers like the fuckin' players. we got guys bustin' their fuckin' ass, and them fuckin' people boo. And that's the Cubs? My players get around here. I haven't seen it this fuckin' year. Everybody associated with this organization have been winners their whole fuckin' life. Everybody. And the credit is not given in that respect.

"Alright, they don't show because we're 5 and 14... and unfortunately, that's the criteria of them dumb 15 motherfuckin' percent that come out to day baseball. The other 85 percent are earning a living. I tell you, it'll take more than a 5 and 12 or 5 and 14 to destroy the makeup of this club. I guarantee you that. There's some fuckin' pros out there that wanna win. But you're stuck in a fuckin' stigma of the fuckin' Dodgers and the Phillies and the Cardinals and all that cheap shit. It's unbelievable. It really is. It's a disheartening fuckin' situation that we're in right now. Anybody who was associated with the Cub organization four or five years ago that came back and sees the multitude of progress that's been made will understand that if they're baseball people, that 5 and 14 doesn't negate all that work. We got 143 fuckin' games left.

"What I'm tryin' to say is don't rip them fuckin' guys out there. Rip me. If you wanna rip somebody, rip my fuckin' ass. But don't rip them fuckin' guys 'cause they're givin' everything they can give. And right now they're tryin' to do more than God gave 'em, and that's why we make the simple mistakes. That's exactly why."

2. Jim Mora

3. John Chaney

4. Ryan Leaf

The Lee Elia one was fucking legendary -- talk about an honest and heartfelt fucking moment in sports!

I had no idea of how big a pussy Ryan Leaf was until I saw that.

I was going to try to find the Hal McRae clubhouse blowup, but since it didn't look like there was much interest here I gave up.

I'm sure there are some good Bobby Knight ones too.

And then there's Tommy Lasorda being asked what he thought about Dave Kingman hitting 3 HRs against the Dodgers, Lloyd McClendon pulling out first base and taking it to the clubhouse with him, and of course there's Lou Pinella, Billy Martin and Earl Weaver. Not much on YouTube for those guys.

If I can't find video/audio of these, maybe we can find transcripts somewhere, even if it doesn't even come close to giving you the true appreciation for what was said.

Uncle Mxy
08-11-2006, 10:19 AM
Sure, you have Bobby Knight classics like:

But you don't get to hear what was said.

That's solid in my opinion. He should be pissed and even though the Cardinals pissed the game away, they were impressive for most of it.

I think this guy's is loonier than Green's. He's reacting to an email. Intense much? And equating "student" athletes time off to professional writers' vacation time isn't problematic at all.

Oh, and he wasn't even asked about it. He brought the shit up after the press had asked their questions.

Glenn
02-15-2007, 10:24 AM
It sounded so calculated, maybe even rehearsed, the way he started off all calm and then "my problem is this...IT'S DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL!!!!"

Here's a transcript of what he said in his rant. I couldn't find the article on the Stillwater NewsPress, if that was were it was written. They probably pulled it after that rant (if that was where it was).

Who put the "I`m cogent" under my name? Its not that it isn`t true, its just that I feel violated. Like someone broke into my house with a can of spray paint. Look, I know I have come in here and kicked the living shit out of many of your most closely held delusions, but that doesn`t mean you should be petulant about it. Really, I`m doing you guys a favor. I am trying to teach you what it means to be a man instead of slut that runs around with the guy with the most money.
