Slayer Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Inspired by discussion in the HD thread (who'd've thought that'd happen) What were your favorite sports press conferences? Some memorable ones to me Rick Pitino: "Larry Bird isn't walking through that door..." Jim Mora Sr.: "Playoffs?!" Allen Iverson: "We talkin' 'bout practice..." Just about any Bob Knight conference at his angry peak, though specific incidences escape me right now
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Bob Knight with the whip is the only thing standing out to me right now.
2GOLD Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 "Ah da ah PLAYOFFS?? Don't talk about....playoffs?!?!? You kidding me?? Playoffs? I'll be surprised if we win another game." and of course "We couldn't do diddly poo offensively. We couldn't make a first down. We couldn't run the ball. We didn't try to run the ball. We couldn't complete a pass. We sucked. The second half we sucked. We couldn't stop the run. Everytime they got the ball, they went down and got points. We got our ass totally kicked in the second half, it was a horseshit performance in the second half. Horseshit. I'm totally embarassed and totally ashamed. Coaching we our ah our coaching did a horrible job, players did a horrible job. We got our ass kicked in that second half. It sucked." Bless you Jim Mora Sr.
strummer Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Bobby Valentine talking about Grant Roberts being caught smoking pot in 2002.
The Czech Republic Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 I'm torn between Pitino and Mora
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Does Manning's "Just an idiot kicker who got liquored up and shot his mouth off" count?
lomasmoney Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 "My style is impetious, my force is impeneratble. I'm the best ever .

That one wins for my favorite sports press conference. What the hell game was that, that it was so important for Mora to have blown his top off like that?
razazteca Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Herm Edwards "WE PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!"
therealworldschampion Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Knight's "I'll handle this the way I want to handle it!" press conference.
MARTYEWR Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 I have to go with the above-mentioned Bobby Knight and Allen Iverson ones.
Damaramu Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Everything involving Bobby Knight. How about "I'd like to be buried upside down so my detractors can kiss my ass!" speech?

I think that was after they had just gotten killed by I think the 49ers and Manning threw like 5 INTs.
MillenniumMan831 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 The second quote was when he was w/ the Saints. EDIT --- Does anyone know where to find audio or video clips of Mora's famous press conferences?
MillenniumMan831 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 Herm Edwards "WE PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!" "You don't play just to play!"
Slayer Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Posted November 11, 2004 For Jim Mora Sr. The "Playoffs?!" speech was in Nov '01 after the Colts lost to the 49ers (40-21) The "diddly poo" speech was in Oct '96 after the Saints lost to the Panthers (19-7). Mora quit as coach a couple days later.
2GOLD Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 I have the "ah playoffs" and the "we sucked" quotes on audio files on my computer. I listen to them all the time, they are TIMELESS.
MillenniumMan831 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 I seem to remember one (May have been the same rant as the Playoffs?!? speech) where he said something to the effect of . . . "We've thrown 4 INTs for TDs this year, that might be an NFL record . . . 5? There ya go!"
