[Applause]
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
sports meltdowns
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking specifically at meltdowns that
took place during gameplay and including
both players and coaches we’re excluding
press conferences however because we
already have a list on that very topic
it shouldn’t be in the game that stuff I
don’t want it in the game but I have to
protect my team to number 10 Earl Weaver
Earl Weaver won over 1400 games as the
manager of the Baltimore Orioles between
1968 and 1986 perhaps equally impressive
however is the fact that he was ejected
from nearly 100 games during that same
time period one of his most notorious
outbursts came in 1980 in a game against
the Tigers
when Weaver went toe-to-toe with umpire
bill Haller who happened to be wearing a
microphone Weaver accused Haller of
blatantly cheating the Orioles and even
threatened to punch him square in the
face number 9 John Tortorella Tortorella
continues to parade Bob Hartley he is
furious famous for his profanity filled
tirades Tortorella took things to
another level when he attempted to fight
Bob Hartley the coach of the Calgary
Flames in the locker room during the
first intermission of a game John
Tortorella has gone over to the Calgary
Flames hallway outside their own
Tortorella was furious because he
believed the flames initiated a line
brawl to start the game in an attempt to
injure one of the Canucks players flames
coaches and players looked on while
Canuck
held him back needless to say the NHL
was not impressed with Tortorella Zach
shion’s
and suspended him for 15 days without
pay Jocelin I’m not gonna go there
please don’t push me or I’ll answer your
questions I’ve tried to be as honest as
possible with that but I’m not gonna go
into the other stuff number 8
Kyle Busch and Joey Logano and he blows
landed between the two of you none to me
we all just get along
Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough’s
certainly didn’t agree at the 1979
Daytona 500 and neither would Kyle Busch
and Joey Logano as the pair engaged in a
full-on fistfight at the finish line of
the Kobalt 400 in Las Vegas in 2017
Busch and Logano were fighting for third
place on the final lap when Logano made
contact with Bush’s car causing it to
spin out
Logano would ultimately finish fourth
while Bush dropped to 22nd moments after
finishing Busch physically confronted
Logano and his pit crew unfortunately or
perhaps fortunately for Busch he walked
away with the loss and a bloody forehead
but surprisingly no penalties so Joey
races so he’s gonna get it number 7
Jurgen Klinsmann I think a lot of things
have been building up inside of me for
months
towards the end of his career Klinsmann
joined Bayern Munich and helped lead the
team to the Bundesliga title during the
1996-97 season he didn’t always see eye
to eye with manager Giovanni Trapattoni
however and things boiled over during a
game against Freiburg Trapattoni removed
Klinsmann from a tie game much to the
star strikers frustration he led his
coach and the world know he was unhappy
when he launched an extremely forceful
kick into an advertising pillar leaving
a pretty impressive hole in the side
obviously I’m slightly disappointed
number 6
Phillip Wellman
it isn’t often that managers of minor
league baseball teams become household
names and to this day you may pause for
a second when you hear the name Philip
Wellman but mention the Mississippi
Braves manager meltdown and almost every
sports fan will know what you mean
Wellman gained international attention
when he was ejected from a game in 2007
after having covered home plate in dirt
removed all of the bases crawled across
the field in a prone position and tossed
the rosin bag at an umpire over the top
shirt but memorable all the same number
5 the Boston Bruins go into MSG stands
if you came across this clip on
television you’d think it’s a scene from
slap shot rather than from an actual NHL
game the 70s were a different time
however and fantasy became reality on
December 23rd 1979 during a game between
the Boston Bruins and the New York
Rangers
what started as a skirmish between the
players quickly escalated as fans began
throwing things on the ice and reaching
over the glass to punch Bruins players
several players responded by going into
the stands including Mike Milbury
who wound up beating a fan with a shoe
alright to beat them to death with their
own shoes
number 4 Lou Pinella throws bass who
would have thought America’s pastime
could get people so angry despite
earning the nickname sweet Lou Piniella
was far from a sweetheart proven by the
fact that he was ejected 63 times during
his managerial career arguably his most
famous ejection came during his best
season as manager of the 1990 Cincinnati
Reds the eventual world series champions
Piniella furious about a call picked up
the bass and launched it into the
outfield while this move has been seen
again it’s never quite been done with
the same force or anger as Piniella
number three you cannot be serious to be
honest we could probably make an entire
top-10 list of best John McEnroe
meltdowns
littering how many he had the question
jerk this one however is one of his best
in a match against Tom Gullickson at
Wimbledon chair umpire Edward James
ruled that a ball McEnroe head hit was
out
McEnroe grew more and more enraged
although surprisingly kept it relatively
PG still his you cannot be serious
remains by far one of his greatest
quotes of all time you cannot be serious
number two the pine tar incident this
game was legendary for all the wrong
reasons in a game against the New York
Yankees in 1983 Kansas City royal George
Brett hit a two-run homer in the ninth
inning to give his team the lead the
umpires took a closer look at Brett’s
bat however and ruled that there was too
much pine tar on it nullifying Brett’s
home run brett famously sprinted from
the dugout following the call to
confront the umpires the royals
protested the game and it was actually
upheld and Brett’s home run was restored
in a game resumed a few weeks later they
might be gonna call George Brett house
well
[Applause]
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
[Applause]
and wrasse just goes off right here when
fault falls down look out below
and he’s not done either a milk crate
will come flying over the board’s
suspension possibly to follow on Carlos
Perez going after the equipment
wonderful that’s dangerous actually I
mean there there are people yeah
somewhere nearby
number one the Pacers pistons brawl also
known as malice at the palace this is
perhaps the most infamous brawl in the
history of sports and certainly the NBA
things took a dark turn on 1 November
night in 2004 at the Palace of Auburn
Hills during a game between Indiana and
Detroit with less than a minute to go a
scuffle broke out between players on the
court things appear to be settling down
until Pacers player Ron Artest was hit
with a drink thrown by a fan in the
stands the fiery Artest then went into
the crowd and ignited a huge fight
following the incident nine players were
suspended for a total of 146 games while
the fan who threw the plastic cup and
subsequently punched our test was
charged with assault and battery this is
a disgrace
