Top 10 Sports Rants


in sports in the heat of the moment it
can be hard not to be emotional
unfortunately for some people those
emotions can be a bit over the top think
their goal I really start to believe
their goals is to be the worst defensive
squad Italy welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 rants in sports
it’s my quarterback if you guys do that
rants aren’t fair for this list we’re
looking at rants outbursts and tirades
from athletes and coaches both
professionally and at the college level
I mean this is a damn cheap piece of
crystal here this isn’t this isn’t
expensive enough they answer all those
questions number 10
I’m a man I’m 40 Mike Gundy if you want
to go after an athlete one of my
athletes you go after one that doesn’t
do the right things Oklahoma State
Cowboys football coach Mike Gundy was
less than happy after hearing about an
article that critiqued one of his
players accusing QB Bobby Reed of being
soft a mama’s boy and of losing the
confidence of his coaches and then say
that the coaches said he was scared that
ain’t true Gundy loudly defended his
player saying he’d done nothing wrong
that the article was primarily fiction
and that the editor was garbage so I
don’t read the newspaper because it’s
garbage in the editor that let it come
out is garbage Gundy continued to rant
and rave saying that it wasn’t fair to
target a non-professional and that
perhaps the media should target a real
adult like himself prompting the line
come after me I’m a man I’m 40 number
nine
his entire career John McEnroe
despite being one of the best tennis
players of all time Johnny Mack may be
better known for his temper and tirades
than his play realizes he had missed
that back in unlike the other entries on
this list
McEnroe didn’t have one particular
moment where he seemed to lose his cool
instead he had a string of famous
outbursts over the course of decades
McEnroe may have been one of the
all-time best at yelling at officials
with classic lines like the question
jerk and of course you can’t be serious
man you cannot be serious
number eight real fans don’t boo Phil
Esposito some of our guys are really
really down in the dumps
we know we’re trying but the hell I mean
we’ll we’re doing the best we can at the
height of the Cold War and in an era
when NHL players were still banned from
competing at the Olympics the question
on everyone’s mind was who’s really
better the Canadiens or the Soviets
sense of tension in the country was
enormous the summit series sought to
answer that with a head-to-head
competition comprised of four games in
each country when the heavily favored
team Canada was booed following a game
for at home loss team leader Phil
Esposito had some choice words for the
fans I’m really really I’m really
disappointed I am completely
disappointed I cannot believe it
Esposito spoke with a sense of brevity
implying that the series was about much
more than hockey and many credit his
speech with helping the Canadiens turn
this series around we came because we
love Canada and even though we play in
the United States and we earn money in
the United States Canada is still our
home and that’s the only reason we come
and I don’t think it’s fair that we
should be booth number 7 put that in
your pipe and smoke it Hal McRae I’m
sick and tired of all this bullshit at
first there seemed to be nothing out of
the ordinary in a postgame interview
with Royals manager Hal McRae following
a loss however apparently after his team
had had a rough season the previous year
and was off to a slow start in the
current season asking if he considered
using a pinch-hitter
crossed the line no no don’t ask all
these stupid-ass question MacRay
immediately went into a frenzy spewing
profanities you think I’m a damn fool
and throwing anything he could get his
hands on across the room even injuring
one reporter with a gash to the face
after he’d expelled all the reporters
from the room he ended his rant with a
classic line put that in a fire number 6
you play to win the game Herm Edwards
you play to win the game things did not
look good for Coach Herm Edwards 2 & 5
New York Jets in 2002 but Herrmann never
was one to give up when you start
telling me it doesn’t matter then retire
get out because it matters a few days
after one loss when asked about the
team’s motivation to win he delivered
one of the most intense and motivational
answers of all time
you don’t play to just play it that’s
the great thing about sports you play to
win quickly became Herms catchphrase and
he went on to write a book bearing that
title perhaps more importantly for her
and the o2 Jets the speech sparked a
turnaround that saw them win eight of
their next 10 games including a 41 to 0
playoff game you don’t play to just play
telling me number 5 playoffs Jim Mora we
gave him the friggin game in my opinion
that sucked
if her Edwards was a motivational leader
Colts coach Jim Mora was anything but it
was 2001 and his team was 4 and 6 having
just lost their latest to the 49ers
Laura began by discussing his
disappointment with the Colts play and
that they turned the ball over five
times you can’t turn the ball over five
times like that holy I don’t know who
the hell we think we are
actually he didn’t have a lot of
positive things to say about the team’s
performance calling it pitiful and
saying that it sucked that’s pitiful
I mean it’s absolutely pitiful to
perform like that pitiful when asked
about the team’s odds of making it to
the playoffs it’s safe to say that Mora
was less than optimistic ah playoffs
don’t talk about playoffs you kidding me
playoffs I just hope we can win a game
in fact he seemed doubtful that his team
could even pull off another victory
during the regular season
PS they finished six and ten number for
the Crabtree rent Richard Sherman don’t
you ever talk about me when two
divisional rivals met in the 2013 NFC
Championship game things were bound to
get heated especially when one of the
league’s best receivers Michael Crabtree
went up against one of the best corners
Richard Sherman he’s a TV guy I’m not a
TV guy play ball you make one play you
talk yes I mean it good play after
Sherman Seattle Seahawks defeated the
defending NFC champion 49ers with a game
saving move by Sherman himself dubbed
the immaculate deflection he had some
choice things to say to Crabtree or any
other doubters shouting next to a
clearly disturbed Aaron Andrews
well I’m the best corn in the game when
you try me with a sorry save like
crashing that’s the results of all did
love him or hate him
Sherman’s attitude seemed to work for
him and his team as the Seahawks went on
to win Super Bowl xlviii that season
Crabtree don’t you open your mouth fuck
this are you on the set for you real
quick
number three I want to eat his children
Mike Tyson I’m the most brutal in
Michigan most ruthless champion in ever
been Iron Mike was one of the most
unpredictable boxers ever to step into
the ring yeah he bites him there you see
him lift his teeth and he always had a
particular way with words however his
erratic behavior when giving speeches
reached an all-time high when he was
hyping his much-anticipated match with
Lennox Lewis in one moment
Tyson compared himself to historical
figures and the greatest boxers of all
time
Lix is a conqueror no I’m Alexander he’s
no Alexander I’m the best ever the next
he described his skill with a flurry of
adjectives my style is impetuous my
defense is impregnable before making one
of the most bizarre statements in the
history of sports speeches I want to eat
his children he finished with a prayer
praise be to Allah are you saying now
Mike the bike number two that’s how I
feel
Kevin Borseth after the game was I mad
yes that I express to them I was mad I
was furious just furious a lot of
coaches like to build up their rage
during a rant but Michigan Wolverines
women’s basketball coach Kevin Borseth
came in with a furious entrance unlike
anyone else Forsyth was understandably
upset after his team had just blown a
20-point lead that fateful day in 2008
and according to Borseth there was one
thing to blame offensive rebounds entire
thing came down the offensive rebound
they got every offensive read we don’t
get one of them citing either his team’s
lack of blocking skills or unfair refs
as aggravating factors way to get one
damn call the entire game Forsyth went
on for several minutes before he seemed
to run out of steam and finally
apologized sorry I apologize but I’m
very frustrated before we reveal our top
pick here are some honorable mentions my
wife can score more than two buckets on
eleven shots because I know my wife will
at least shut fake one
but those guys aren’t listening they’re
uncoachable right now they’re soft like
I never see a bunch of defenseman soft
like this if I see him in a snowstorm
his truck is broke down mine is going
perfectly when I pick him up nope so you
you don’t confidence tell you to do
something and you can become when I tell
you to sign through it bears or who we
thought they were that’s why we took the
damn field now if you want to grow them
then crown their ass now told our
players you need a little more like a
dog we don’t need a bunch of cats in
here yeah looking in the mirror I look
good I got my extra bands on I got my
other shoes up b-dog
we don’t need no meows we don’t need no
cats number one practice allen iverson
not the game we’re talking about
practice man
Allen Iverson has always been a let’s
call it charismatic player notorious for
saying and doing what he wanted on and
off the court as Allen Iverson was
questioned one day after a loss in 2002
about his tendency to miss practices and
his response was one for the ages I
supposed to be the franchise player and
we in here talking about practice he
seemed skeptical about the importance of
missing a few practices and failed to
see how his attendance would really
impact his fellow players I know it’s
important I do
I honestly do but we talking about
practice man what are we talking about
practice but most importantly a I wanted
to make it explicitly clear that they
were in fact talking about practice and
not the game not a game not a game not a
game we talking about practice not a
game not if not not the game that I go
out there and die for so much so that he
repeated the word practice in his rent
over 20 times not the game practice
we’re talking about practice man
we’re talking about practice we’re
talking about practice we’re talking
about the game which other mo practice
man do you agree with our list it’s
really unfair which rants got you all
fired up I’m not gonna answer any
questions from you you’re not no oh good

are I will go right ahead
