The 10 Most Explosive Press Conference Blow Ups in Sports History

(All-In)
As this past weekend demonstrated, we've just entered the golden season of sports -- the NFL and college football season are starting, baseball's getting good, basketball and hockey are just around the corner, and there are even some fireworks on the tennis courts and golf links. And with that "perfect storm" comes an increased chance of a blessed incident: the player/coach blow up. Friday night saw Serena's on-court meltdown, but most blow ups take place after the final whistle, in the usually boring but sometimes amazing post-game press conferences. Here, then, are 10 of our favorite player/coach blow ups ever. If you spot a blow up this fall, let us know, and we'll ad it to the list.

10. Bob Knight
Choosing one Bob Knight tirade is like trying to choose the prettiest star in the sky... Just embrace the collective work.



9. Ryan Leaf
Remember when Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf were considered equals in the 1998 NFL Draft? Remember when Tara Reid was hot?


8. Tommy Lasorda
We now know why Fletch hated him so much.



7. Lee Elia
Part of the Cubs' charming, infinite loserdom? This awesome, preserved tirade.



6. Avery Johnson
The voice kills me more than anything.



5. Hal McRae
The best thing to happen to the Royals in the last 20 years.



4. Dan Hawkins (Colorado football coach)
From serene to insane in, like, 30 seconds.



3. Denny Green
This pretty marked the beginning of the end of Green's reputation as a coach, though losing two NFC Championship games with stacked Vikings teams (Randy Moss, Cris Carter, et. al) didn't help.



2. Kevin Borseth (Michigan's women's basketball coach)
Does anyone else think this resembles a Will Ferrell skit from SNL? "I drive a Dodge Stratus!" "I coach big-time women's basketball!



1. Jim Mora
The one and only.

Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State. A tirade list without his "I'm a man, I'm forty" rant, is a tirade list that is incomplete. Get your heads out of your fucking asses.
