SO lets hear which was better Green's (There were what we thought they were) or

Mora's(Playoffs dont talk to me about playoffs)

 
i went with Mora only because it has stood the test of time.....and i still :lmao: everytime i hear it.

whereas right now with Denny's rant, i just kind of wince.

I would also go with Mora. In addition to the Playoff rant, he also had a number one hit single with the underated "You think you know. But you just don't know. And you never will".
 
Mora's "diddy poo" rant probably tops them all, but his "playoffs" rant (and the stuff leading up to it) is pretty classic.

:goodposting: I don't think "diddly poo" will ever be topped.
 
I went with Mora for the "You think you know, but you don't know...and you never will" tirade. Classic.

However, my all time favorite sports related rant was then manager of the KC Royals Hal McRae going ballistic, throwing a phone at a bunch of reporters and yelling "put that in your ####### pipe and smoke it." :lmao:

 
As a lifelong Bears fan, I watched Ditka during his glory years and meltdown years with his rants, he is right at the top of the list.

But for classic rants, nobody beats Jim Mora - whenever you hear the word playoffs, the next thing you have to say is "Playoffs?? Playoffs?" I think that one is just ahead of the diddypoo.. we sucked rant. Mora is the all timer!

I am not even sure what the point of Dennie Green's rant was. I understood it be that the Bears are not invincible and the genius Dennie figured them out. So the point of his rant was that people didn't think that Arizona could figure out the Bears, who Arizona figured out in week three of the preseason and Arizona still had them figured out even though everyone thinks that the Bears are invincible and unfigureoutable... Huh?!?

 
Voted Mora

Best ever was Tommy Lasorta's rant when a reporter asked him what he though of Dave Kingman's performance that day...after Kingman hit 3 HR's.

link #3

On June 4, 1976, Mets slugger Dave Kingman belted three home runs and had eight RBIs in a rout of the Dodgers. After the game, Associated Press radio stringer Paul Olden found himself in the wrong place with the wrong question for L.A. skipper Tommy Lasorda. (Transcript taken from Dodgersblues.com)

Paul Olden: What's your opinion of Kingman's performance?

Tommy Lasorda: What's my opinion of Kingman's performance!? What the BLEEP do you think is my opinion of it? I think it was BLEEPING BLEEP. Put that in, I don't give a BLEEP. Opinion of his performance!!? BLEEP, he beat us with three BLEEPING home runs! What the BLEEP do you mean, "What is my opinion of his performance?" How could you ask me a question like that, "What is my opinion of his performance?" BLEEP, he hit three home runs! BLEEP. I'm BLEEPING pissed off to lose that BLEEPING game. And you ask me my opinion of his performance! BLEEP. That's a tough question to ask me, isn't it? "What is my opinion of his performance?"

PO: Yes, it is. I asked it, and you gave me an answer...

TL: Well, I didn't give you a good answer because I'm mad, but I mean ...

PO: Well, it wasn't a good question ...

TL: That's a tough question to ask me right now, "What is my opinion of his performance?" I mean, you want me to tell you what my opinion of his performance is ...

PO: You just did ...

TL: That's right. BLEEP. Guy hits three home runs against us. BLEEP.

Mora's "Playoffs?!" has stood the test of time while Green's rant probably won't stick out as much as time passes. Maybe his line about "crowning" will, but right now Mora gets my vote.

 
These are great! Mora gets the nod from me, because he just starts on a roll and keeps going. Green is good too though...it looked like he could really have done some damage to someone...lol. At least he found his "QB of the future"...hope he gets to stay in town to enjoy it.

Doesn't Parcells have some good sound bytes as well? Maybe not "rants" per se but it is funny when he starts putting down reporters.

How about this one from Cubs manager Lee Elia in April, 1983:

#### those ####in' fans who come out here and say they're Cub fans that are supposed to be behind you rippin' every ####in' thing you do. I'll tell you one ####in' thing, I hope we get ####in' hotter than ####, just to stuff it up them 3,000 ####in' people that show up every ####in' day, because if they're the real Chicago ####in' fans, they can kiss my ####in' ### right downtown and PRINT IT. They're really, really behind you around here... my ####in' ###. What the #### am I supposed to do, go out there and let my ####in' players get destroyed every day and be quiet about it? For the ####in' nickel-dime people who turn up? The mother####ers don't even work. That's why they're out at the ####in' game. They oughta go out and get a ####in' job and find out what it's like to go out and earn a ####in' living. Eighty-five percent of the ####in' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A ####in' playground for the ##########s. Rip them mother####ers. Rip them ####in' ##########s like the ####in' players. we got guys bustin' their ####in' ###, and them ####in' people boo. And that's the Cubs? My players get around here. I haven't seen it this ####in' year. Everybody associated with this organization have been winners their whole ####in' life. Everybody. And the credit is not given in that respect. Alright, they don't show because we're 5 and 14... and unfortunately, that's the criteria of them dumb 15 mother####in' percent that come out to day baseball. The other 85 percent are earning a living. I tell you, it'll take more than a 5 and 12 or 5 and 14 to destroy the makeup of this club. I guarantee you that. There's some ####in' pros out there that wanna win. But you're stuck in a ####in' stigma of the ####in' Dodgers and the Phillies and the Cardinals and all that cheap ####. It's unbelievable. It really is. It's a disheartening ####in' situation that we're in right now. Anybody who was associated with the Cub organization four or five years ago that came back and sees the multitude of progress that's been made will understand that if they're baseball people, that 5 and 14 doesn't negate all that work. We got 143 ####in' games left. What I'm tryin' to say is don't rip them ####in' guys out there. Rip me. If you wanna rip somebody, rip my ####in' ###. But don't rip them ####in' guys 'cause they're givin' everything they can give. And right now they're tryin' to do more than God gave 'em, and that's why we make the simple mistakes. That's exactly why.

I have that saved on my computers at work and at home. I still get a kick out of it. :lmao: That being said, I voted for Mora. Everyone knows that one and as someone said earlier, once the word 'playoffs' comes up in conversation, someone will bring that rant up. Its classic
 
Earl Weaver had some classic rants as well. The Jerry Crowley one is great. "Jerry Crowley's lucky to be in ####### baseball...." There's more I can't remember it excactly.

 
Alright, I know this is NFL, but this has simply got to be THE BEST sports rant ever. If you live in the Detroit area, or Lansing, you might know this guy. Mike Valenti is a former MSU student, who has moved on to sports talk radio in Detroit (1270). SI did an article centering around "The Rant" and the MSU collapse during the Notre Dame game. Its kinda long (12+ minutes), but worth listening to the whole thing.

Just a little info, Mike left the show early after this, and missed the next day of work from losing his voice. Long suffering Michigan State football fans will completly agree with this. Everyone else, its great entertainment.

Mike is a friend and I can feel his pain.

Mike Valenti - The Rant

you have to download the file, sorry for those using dialup still

the RANT starts around the 7:30 mark into the segment
