OT: Greatest Sports Meltdowns

[RobAllan]

Alright, so the Gundy meltdown has given me a new hobby. Watching coaching meltdowns on YouTube. My only problem is, I really only remember a few of them so I need help finding more. Here's what I remember...

1. Jim Mora He's had 2 great ones
2. Dennis Green "Crown their..." classic
3. Herm Edwards "Play to win the game"
4. Allen Iverson "Practice"
5. Mike Gundy I don't even know what to call this one, honestly But it was cool
6. John Chaney when he threatened to beat that guy up

So what other ones am I missing? Bonus points for Mora-like terminology such as "diddley poo" Hahahaha I can watch that twice a day

Here are a few of the ones from Tyson's dinner break during a fight to Oliver McCall's crying during a championship fight.
I'm too young to remember but IIRC Jimmy Piersall of the Red Sox had a meltdown during a game that necessitated professional inpatient care....

Go down to Dan Hawkins part of page. Click on Dan Hawkins meltdown. Not as long as Gundy's but good nonetheless.

Their is the time that Buddy Ryan hits Kevin Gilbride when they were both coaching for the Oilers.
Lou Piniella attaching Rob Dibble in Cincinnati was pretty funny.
The biggest meltdown for me is when Tyson bites off Holyfield's ear.

 

[RobAllan]

Thanks for those gang. I'd forgotten about some of the Bob Knight classics!

Hal McRae was pretty awesome too. I don't recall ever seeing that before.

Here's another. Braves minor league manager this summer. Tossed out of the game. Crawling towards rosin bag and pulling pin and throwing it like a hand grenade at ump. Just kills me.

The meltdown to end all meltdowns.

Truly, I defy you to find a better one than that.

This isn't a meltdown, but Beckett had a classic smart ass remark the other day. This guy couldn't be any cooler.

Chaney most definitely threatened to kill our coach (St. John Calipari).

Homicide, not fisticuffs.

I love that bobby knight speech. Cracks me up every time I hear it.
Yelling so loud he's overdriving he mike.

How about BB;s meltdown with Solomon Wilcox after the AFCCG last year.
I couldn't believe he got SO emotional.

I don't know if this is a meltdown or some bad acid, but this is supposedly a real radio show.

One more thing...

I've searched YouTube and GoogleVideo for Manning's "idiot kicker" meltdown about Vanderjagt. Couldn't find it.

If anyone finds audio or video of this, please post it. I would love to hear that again.

Thanks,
