The Best Sports Speech

35
Vote

by user JuTMSY4

While seeing the lists of best ‘somethings’ ever, it got me thinking and finally it hit me, my all time favorite sports speeches. This includes things like press conferences, interviews, induction ceremonies, you name it. Of course my personal favorites include the infamous Jim Mora "Playoffs?!" quote:

(If this takes too long to load, I've also included links to each)

Jim Mora's Playoffs!?

More entertaining is the Parcells interview where he request the privilege of buying the groceries, which I unfortunately could not locate.

Better yet, any classic Hulk Hogan interview

Hulk Hogan Rants

But my all time favorite is this:

Chris/Jim Everett Flips

Is there anything more classic than Chris/Jim Everett getting called out by a whiny Jim Rome and then...BAM! The **** hits the fan... Just the force put in his voice my Rome is enough to light a fire, its a wonder this man wasn't killed on the spot. Classic! If Jim Everett is famous for anything besides his inept passing, especially for a 3rd choice overall it is this. This is the epitome of his career.

So, what's your pick?

Addendum Picks:

Denny Green

MetsJetsDevils

The shark

LJ's take on Herm

JuTMSY4

The entire T.O. Rant (Including sit-ups) and the best part is, if you watch during the beginning, during is apology, you can see breaking news that "Machete Man" Ugueth Urbina was arrested...

The problem was that you embedded them wrongly. I fixed it though. (You need to delete the "watch?" bit, and put / there. Change the = to a / too, and it'll work). It took me a while to figure it out too.

Alex, I think he's implying the wrongly is not a word, but rather incorrectly. I don't care either way, just thank you for fixing my youtube things...

The Jim Mora one was definitely the best... Good to see he trusted his coaching skills to turn it around...

The Don Trump is a Hulkamainac? Where does he get this crap? I don't care what anybody says he's freakin entertaining. I'll even sneak in a little Hogan Knows Best on VH1 every once in a while. You never know when hulkamaina is gonna run wild on you!!

Where is Allen Iverson's "practice?" speech? Or Pedro's "Who is Karim Garcia?" Those two are classic!

JuTMSY4 I KNOW! I looked at a slim jim package and it actually said "mechanically seperated chicken" as an ingredient. Anywhoo, I vote for AI's "PRACTICE?" speech.
