Mike I'm A Man, I'm Forty Gundy.

Impassioned orator going to the defense of a player maligned in the local paper. Calls the reporter childless and the editor of said paper "garbage":10 out of 10.

Jim Mora Sr. Playoffs? Playoffs?!

Not happy with his offense, calls them out for turnovers, and the look of incredulity combined with his rhetorical delivery give this an 8 out of 10.


They were, who whe thought they were. Coach Dennis Green
finds a metaphor for client server authentication in a football game. Extra points for the "if you want to crown them, then crown their arse..." and for finishing strong: 7 out of 10

Who ya got?

Excellent find.

and unedited, too. Deserves a NSFW (language) tag.

Diddly Poo

He may have actually introduced that phrase into American English. Horsesh**t was already part of our vernacular, but seldom has it been associated with a football team's performance until Mora's tirade.

Between Diddly Poo and Playoffs? Playoffs?!, Mora is making a run at the GOAT.

Here's a LINK to the transcript. Lee Elia goes off on Cubs fans, and probably does not endear himself to them very much.

Lee Elia Press Conference Tirade


I've never heard of this. From what I learned in the last few minutes that would be it, hands down had it happened in 2003 and not 1983. Wow. Do yourself a favor and read the transcript. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Mcrae is moving up the charts with that tirade. Extra points for hurling recording equipment in his long johns, and for the piece d'resistance, "Now, put that in your pipe and smoke it."

Outstanding find.

Can't play with him, can't coach with him, can't win with him, can't do it.

That wasn't a meltdown by Knight. The one in Buffalo where he asked who canceled supposedly his press conference after NCAAT loss

Game Face by Bobby Knight does deserve some mention here for innovation (some would call it full R word), but we've seen him much angrier and more animated. A good effort, but not his best.
