View Full Version : Famous Sports Meltdowns/Rants
Glenn 08-10-2006, 02:42 PM 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
Qwq7BYOnDrM
3. John Chaney
E93NSqrP9N4
4. Ryan Leaf
UMe0Rz1frdE
I'll try to come up with a few more.
D's Nuts 08-10-2006, 06:16 PM The Mora one is CLASSIC!!!!
Uncle Mxy 08-11-2006, 08:07 AM 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.
Glenn 08-11-2006, 08:28 AM 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:
NvRO2GE4x4M
But you don't get to hear what was said.
I like the soundbytes.
not as monumental as the previous, but memorable nonetheless:

good ole Mike, he was just hungry.

DennyMcLain 08-11-2006, 10:39 AM Lasorda is a fucking GOD. Case in point:

Glenn 08-11-2006, 10:45 AM Denny, do you have Lasorda on Kingman?

who's the boob-tacular babe on the right?
Jose Lima's wife. Lima sang the national anthem, but the press focused more on, well, you already KNOW what.
DennyMcLain 08-11-2006, 01:59 PM Denny, do you have Lasorda on Kingman?
It's here...

DennyMcLain 08-11-2006, 04:58 PM For your consideration, Matt Clement getting punked by Alex Cora:
oApywnGqLrw
Hank in Chains 08-12-2006, 04:56 AM It's not as good as the Mora rants, but Herm Edwards little "Hello! We play to win the game!" rant was pretty damn funny too.
Anthony 08-12-2006, 10:26 AM IMk5sMHj58I
Unibomber 08-13-2006, 07:52 PM I'm gonna miss Jon Chaney and his bug-eyed crazy ass.
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.
Glenn 10-17-2006, 09:17 AM I wonder what his blood pressure was during that?
Glenn 02-14-2007, 07:52 PM Anybody got the Dan Hawkins clip? (Colorado's head football coach)
Zip Goshboots 02-15-2007, 08:02 AM No, but I heard it. I'm surprised I haven't seen a head coach's head explode during a press conference yet.
Glenn 02-15-2007, 09:19 AM http://www.hipcast.com/export/Pd190622cd185f6dfdff06a176b76d88dZlp/S1REYmF3.mp3
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!!!!"
Zip Goshboots 02-15-2007, 12:15 PM Care to add Tim Hardaway to this thread?
Glenn 09-20-2007, 04:15 PM http://www.hipcast.com/export/Pd190622cd185f6dfdff06a176b76d88dZlp/S1REYmF3.mp3
Bumping this because it's still pretty much awesome.
WTFchris 09-20-2007, 04:58 PM I still love the minor league Braves coach getting tossed. Here are two versions...a private version on you tube and a link to the Fox Sports video of it (better quality).

the MSN video is on this page:

WTFchris 09-20-2007, 04:59 PM BTW Glenn, you need to fix those links. They play automatically when you go to this page.

Glenn 09-25-2007, 11:38 AM Here's a new one.
Pretty good.

WTFchris 09-25-2007, 11:54 AM Wow, good one. Clearly he was directing those comments at someone in the audience (the author I am sure). Any idea what the article was?
WTFchris 09-25-2007, 12:01 PM 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).

Here is the author's reaction to his tirade:

Tahoe 09-25-2007, 02:18 PM All that after a win. I'd love to see him after a loss.

Cross 10-07-2007, 04:40 AM We talkin bout practice.not the game..not the game not the game but practice
DennyMcLain 10-07-2007, 12:15 PM 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.

Lasorda if hilarious. Listen to the whole thing if you have the time.
"Bevaqua couldn't hit water if he fell out of boat"
Tahoe 10-12-2007, 07:54 PM Lasorda said "opinion of his performance" more than AI said 'practice'
Vinny 02-11-2008, 04:52 PM Not quite a "rant" but this is amusing. It's like a minute or so in:

Tahoe 02-11-2008, 05:13 PM "Can't do that. We're live" lol
Zip Goshboots 02-12-2008, 12:36 AM We're LIVE? When did we start broadcasting these fucking games live?
Jethro34 02-12-2008, 07:00 AM That's why Bert deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Timone 10-27-2008, 09:14 PM My favorite was the Seattle Mariners dude. That's shit a head coach could use to motivate his team during halftime.

Tahoe 02-27-2009, 03:21 PM Calhoun still in the news over this. The hypocrite politicians are asking for a repremand. The Gov already ripped him too.
Timone 02-27-2009, 03:23 PM It's because that reporter is a lib.
Glenn 02-27-2009, 03:24 PM It's because that reporter is a lib.

Timone 02-27-2009, 03:25 PM Libs are allergic to facts.
Glenn 02-27-2009, 03:26 PM TOO SCARED TO USE THEM
TOO BUSY FURTHERING THEIR PINKO LEFTIST AGENDA
Tahoe 02-27-2009, 03:27 PM Libs are allergic to facts.
That friends, is a great point.
Timone 02-27-2009, 03:34 PM No, but seriously, the guy's really a Lib.

Go Mariners!
Tahoe 02-27-2009, 03:44 PM Mariners and Seahawks were the home team (as in, they were always televised) when I was stationed in Alaska. So they did kind of become "MY" team for a couple of years there.
Ok, back on topic.
WTFchris 07-29-2009, 01:42 PM Classic I had never seen:

LOL That's phenomenal. Too bad it's fake.
Glenn 12-04-2009, 05:31 PM A coworker and I checked out some rants today on youtube (Hawkins, Mora, etc.)
If you get a minute to check out the uncensored version of Earl Weaver's manager's corner (or something like that) you must.

Uncle Mxy 09-19-2011, 07:22 AM To melt down something, it should have been solid to begin with.
That coach doesn't sound like he was ever solid.
