00:12And welcome in to Who's Number One.
00:14I'm Trey Wingo.
00:15You know, usually we celebrate the best, but this time we're looking at the worst.
00:19It's called losing it.
00:20Veins popping out, face turns red, the air blew with profanity.
00:25Hide the good china, because here it comes, a wave of anger.
00:28There are players and coaches who haven't learned how not to lose it, who need an emotional
00:33rescue.
00:34ESPN Classic now presents the 20 greatest anger management failures of all time.
00:44Volatile, unpredictable, and savoring the spotlight, Dennis Rodman is a prime example of the need
00:50for anger management.
00:51You didn't know what to expect when Dennis went on the floor.
00:54You didn't know who he was going to fight or if he was going to elbow somebody.
00:57He is quality, and that will be a flavor.
01:00He pushed them, shoved them, stepped on them, grabbed them, pulled them.
01:04Then they became teammates later on.
01:07First thing I would have asked Rodman as Scottie Pippen, why'd you knock me over like that?
01:15Down, hit them in the back of the head.
01:18That's what everybody like.
01:20What's on the menu tonight?
01:22They're tied at 71.
01:24Oh, and into the front row.
01:26Oh my goodness.
01:27Rodman just kicked the photographer.
01:29And the photographer is hurt.
01:32He was upset.
01:33He got jabbed or poked and didn't realize it.
01:36He just reacted.
01:38He blatantly kicked the guy, and down he goes.
01:40I think a lot of us have done this.
01:42You know, done this.
01:43It ought to be.
01:44He got him underneath the leg and in his groin.
01:47When he had that incident, we had verbally agreed with Converse on a three-year, eight-million-dollar deal.
01:54That deal evaporated instantly.
01:57Do you smell a lawsuit?
01:58The police were going to depose Dennis.
02:02There was going to be a criminal investigation.
02:04Six days after the January 15, 1997 incident, the Minnesota Timberwolves' Cameran dropped assault charges.
02:12But not until Rodman agreed to a financial settlement for a reported $200,000.
02:17The NBA suspended Rodman for 11 games and fined him $25,000.
02:22He really had done something we'd never seen before.
02:24There goes the cameraman.
02:25If you do something with fans or with the media, that's a whole different story.
02:29That's just, you just can't get into that.
02:31And then he made fun of kicking the dude.
02:34He's like, yo, maybe I'll send him some flowers or something.
02:38D.R. does not care.
02:39He will go ahead against anybody.
02:41He'll probably kick your grandmother.
02:59I've always wondered how much of Lupinella was crazy and how much of Lupinella acted crazy.
03:05I believe he wants to focus on him.
03:07Certainly the focus was on him when he was throwing that base around.
03:13Lupinella has never been one to hold back his emotions or his penchant for rearranging things.
03:18On August 21, 1990, managing the Cincinnati Reds,
03:23Pinella boiled over onto the field to object to call at first base by umpire Dutch Renner.
03:28Perez and Pinella argue.
03:29You're in the guy's face and you're doing the bobblehead and you're really seething.
03:33What is there to do?
03:36There's a base.
03:37I think I'll rip it out and go throw it somewhere.
03:43I mean, Pinella's giving you a show.
03:45Pinella's trying to fire up his team.
03:47Maybe that was kind of like a little bit of a motivational tool that Lou had.
03:52And nobody threw a base better.
03:54That's a suspension there, too.
03:56It's good antics and it's great showbiz.
03:58And I think Pinella knows that.
04:00He's a hothead.
04:01But Pinella is not nasty.
04:04Some of these other guys can be nasty, be a bully.
04:07That's not Pinella.
04:09I don't think it's ever been done before.
04:12You know, it's sort of like one of those milestones, the four-minute mile.
04:15If you can find me a piece of footage of anybody before Lou Pinella with the presence of mind
04:20to rip the base out and throw it, I'd like to see that.
04:24Eight.
04:24Eight.
04:26This was not the spur-of-the-moment thing.
04:28This was leading up to something.
04:31Out of the corner of my eye, I caught this bald-headed guy going down.
04:34Seamer steps way out of line.
04:39It's this WWF moment dropped into an American League Championship Series.
04:44On October 11, 2003, Pedro Martinez and...
04:47What's the category?
04:48Is it a team?
04:49Is it both teams?
04:50Is it a series?
04:51Is it a player?
04:52Is it a manager?
04:53I don't know who's the actual topic here.
04:55Roger Clemens, notorious for buzzing batters inside, were matched up in game three.
05:01Martino is the next-time replacement guy who wants to start trouble.
05:06Like, if it's Jeter who's going to start, you know, then you go, okay.
05:08But guys, I'm Kareem Garcia.
05:12What?
05:14I have no respect for that guy.
05:15Who are you, Kareem Garcia, to try to test Pedro Martinez?
05:18In my heart, I've seen him take some real shots at people.
05:23And the one he threw at Garcia just triggered me.
05:27Clemens retaliated in the fourth inning and both benches empty.
05:31Yankees bench coach Don Zimmer charged Martinez, who was 41 years younger.
05:36When I started out of the dugout, the only man I had in my mind was Pedro.
05:43He could have really hit him with a quick two-piece, like bong-bong, but he had respect for the
05:48Zimmer.
05:48All he did was, you know, he helped him go down already.
05:51We didn't know really what had happened.
05:53We were all scared that maybe something had happened to Zimmer, like he had a heart attack.
05:56We were worried for him, you know, his chest was, you know, breathing real hard and his eyes were kind
06:01of lazy.
06:01He's got a big old whelp on the side of his face.
06:04He didn't really know where he was at.
06:06He's 72, like, at that time.
06:09Of course he's going to be breathing hard after he just did the most physical fitness he's done since, I
06:16don't know, 35 years earlier when he last played in the MLB?
06:24Four years earlier?
06:26He said that, you know, Pedro had hit him.
06:28You know, Zimmer, you're always like,
06:29Malara, I love every one of you, son of a gun, but I can't stand that blankety-blank.
06:34By no meaning, I want to hurt the guy that's my daddy's age.
06:39Pedro was fined $50,000 and an apologetic Zimmer of $5,000.
06:44Well, I got bad legs.
06:45I was 72 years old at that time.
06:48I was just, I was gone.
06:49I couldn't get up if I tried to get up.
06:5517, 7, 7.
06:58I don't know if Jimmy Connors was the first tennis punk, but he took tennis punk-dom to a new
07:05level.
07:05You are an abortion, do you know that?
07:07He screamed obscenities.
07:09He gave the finger.
07:10He did all the punk stuff.
07:12There's a part of Connors you love, because Connors is a tremendous competitor, gave everything he got every time he
07:18played, but Connors had another side to him.
07:20Listen, kiss me first before you do anything to me next time.
07:24He cared, and he showed that he cared, and sometimes when you care too much, things just come out that
07:29shouldn't come out.
07:32On February 21st, 1986, against Yvonne Lendl in a semifinal of the International Players' Championship in Boca Raton.
07:40Connors wants a call, a lot of folks in the crowd want the call, he's not going to get it,
07:44Jim.
07:44Get it out!
07:47Jimmy Connors raged about a line call and capped a contentious series of disagreements with a sit-down.
07:53I'm not playing under those conditions.
07:55Get the supervisor out here.
07:57He sort of had a darker, more brooding quality to his anger than McEnroe.
08:02McEnroe was always kind of comical about what he did.
08:04Get the balls out of judgment call.
08:06Get the balls this far out.
08:07I think there was an inferno inside of Connors that was always burning,
08:12and if it got too bad, you just never knew what was going to happen.
08:15Connors is going to pack his bags, and that's it.
08:17I can't believe it.
08:18Connors is walking off.
08:19He knows the rules.
08:20Losing 3-2 in the fifth set, he forfeited the match, left to cheers and applause, and was fined five
08:26large.
08:27Connors had what I call Irish Alzheimer's.
08:31He would forget everything except his crutches.
08:35Cut.
08:3916-16.
08:43If there's one thing Kenny Rogers detests more than unsuspecting water coolers,
08:48it's unsuspecting cameramen.
08:51Hey, why do you attack a guy who can get video evidence of the attack?
08:57I think if they made him pay for those cameras, they wouldn't do that so much because they're expensive.
09:02Uh, I think, I think an MLB player, especially in the 21st century, can pay for a camera.
09:10Come on.
09:11On June 29th, 2005, when the Rangers came out for their pregame stretch, Rogers was in no mood for his
09:18close-up.
09:19This is, you know, 2 o'clock in the afternoon before an 8 o'clock game.
09:23Come on.
09:24Life's too short.
09:25What are you going to be so upset for?
09:26Relax.
09:26Take it easy.
09:27Take it easy.
09:30Kenny Rogers is too stupid to understand.
09:32He doesn't make his money off ticket sales.
09:35He makes it from television.
09:36I sort of wish that four or five cameramen caught Kenny Rogers in the players' parking lot coming out late
09:41after everybody else had gone.
09:43For shoving two TV cameramen and knocking one of their cameras to the ground,
09:47Commissioner Bud Selig suspended Rogers for 20 games and fined him $50,000.
09:52After the players' union filed a grievance, an arbitrator reduced the suspension to 13 games.
09:58He's old.
09:58You know, you get crabby.
09:59He's like the guy that knows what you walk on his lawn.
10:02Rogers doesn't like the media.
10:04He's not a big game pitcher.
10:06He chokes constantly.
10:07Rogers is a clown.
10:13I don't even, with an ERA of 4.27, I don't think Kenny Rogers is even really good enough to
10:21do that.
10:28Kelly Yarbrough had two settings, on and off.
10:31There was no halfway setting on Kelly.
10:34He'd get out of the race car and he'd be very angry because he finished second, you know.
10:38Most guys would be thrilled.
10:39Cale's over there throwing his helmet and kicking the helmet because, you know, he didn't win the race.
10:45On the last lap of the 1979 Daytona 500, Donnie Allison and Cale Yarbrough were running one-two when their
10:52fenders kissed.
10:54Meanwhile, Richard Petty had gleefully sneaked across the finish line first.
10:59They fought and Donnie's brother Bobby drove over to join the fray.
11:04The rumor is, is that possibly he was given the finger, flipped the bird by Yarbrough.
11:09Not happy about this.
11:11And Cale yelled, did the wreck with my fault.
11:14And I think I questioned his ancestry.
11:17And he hit me in the face with his helmet.
11:19So I climbed out of the car and Cale went to beating on my fist with his nose.
11:25I'm surprised that there aren't more fights.
11:28I mean, those guys are out there and they're banging against each other in situations unlike almost any other sport
11:33where they can kill each other.
11:35So I'm surprised that more drivers don't get out of their car and clobber the guy who put him in
11:41the wall.
11:42I had finished 11th in the Daytona 500 1979 and my part of the winnings were not enough for me
11:49to pay a $6,000 fine.
11:59In the NBA, the referee is the authority figure.
12:01Dennis got a technical foul.
12:03He's out of here.
12:04Dennis is out of the game.
12:05You don't tug on Superman's cape.
12:07You don't spit in the wind.
12:08And you don't headbutt referees.
12:10Oh, no.
12:11It looked like he headbutted him.
12:14The worm returns for an encore performance.
12:16On March 16, 1996, tagged with his second technical.
12:21A horn, the rebound, and a foul coming up.
12:23I believe it's going to be on Rodman.
12:26And now Ted Bernard is throwing him out of the game.
12:30Dennis Rodman not only gave referee Ted Bernard a piece of his mind,
12:33but a piece of his forehead as well.
12:36Ted Bernard, oh, and he, oh, and he, oh, and he, oh, and he, oh, and he, oh, and he,
12:38oh, and he, oh, and he, oh, and he, oh, and he looked like he headbutted him.
12:40I think it's a good thing Dennis didn't have any of his piercings in at the time, because that guy
12:44could have been really hurt.
12:46I don't think it's anger with Rodman as much as it is just, you know, Dennis Rodman, the showman and
12:52the self-pomponent.
12:53He throws his jersey back out of court very upset.
12:56He thinks it's part of an act.
12:58I don't know how angry he actually is, more so than just getting his name in the paper.
13:03You want to suspend him, you're suspended.
13:04You make an example of Dennis Rodman.
13:05I don't care.
13:07The NBA suspended Rodman for six games and fined him $20,000.
13:12Because the Bulls were winning and they were back in championship mode, nobody around here seemed to care whatever he
13:19did wrong.
13:19Oh, chicken, is that saying wrong?
13:21Yeah, he'd do things that the rascal down the block would do.
13:24Yeah, it's the New Jersey Nets.
13:25You can afford to lose Rodman versus the Nets.
13:28I guarantee you they still won the game by, like, 20.
13:33When you were a kid, there was always a rascal around.
13:35Dennis is a town rascal.
13:37I think it's great for the sport.
13:38It has a little more aroma.
13:4213, 13, 13.
13:44I think the first picture that comes to my mind when I think of Earl Weaver is him out there,
13:53toe-to-toe with an umpire, and, like, kicking dirt on his shoes or on the plate.
13:57Earl was always up for an argument.
13:59He would have these rhubarbs.
14:02Rhubarbs, that's a word that you don't hear much anymore.
14:04Nose-to-nose with an umpire, turning his hat backwards so he could get right up close.
14:10Earl Weaver was a master at confrontations, earning 98 ejections in his Orioles career, a record for American League managers.
14:19You're a f***ing rubber.
14:21Oh, f***ing bulls*** yourself.
14:23You're a f***ing bulls***.
14:25And this crew is here just to f*** us.
14:27Ha!
14:27Yeah!
14:28Boom!
14:28On September 17, 1980, Weaver lit into Bill Hallam, unaware that the umpire was Mike.
14:34Earl, I do run.
14:36Eddie Murray right there should have stopped him.
14:38You're f***ing up, Earl.
14:40You run yourself.
14:41You hit me.
14:42And there was never any time limits on these arguments.
14:46Nobody ever says, okay, Earl, wrap it up.
14:49Baseball, the timeless game.
14:50Well, it's nine innings and there's no clock.
14:52You do it again and I'll knock you right in your nose.
14:55I didn't do it.
14:55There's an argument.
14:56The manager's out there.
14:56He's not going to win the argument.
14:58No, you're lying.
14:58The boy, he sure is going at it.
15:01You're a liar, Earl.
15:02You're a liar.
15:03This is beneath the level of two third graders going, your mother wears army shoes.
15:08Yeah, who says so?
15:10Yeah, and your sister's ugly.
15:12Earl Weaver's temper tantrums were something you would look forward to.
15:15You ain't no good.
15:17You're no f***ing good either.
15:18Your ass will never have our games.
15:20I hope I would have liked it.
15:22This one, however, I think he really lost it.
15:25You've got five, ten f***ing years to know who's in the Hall of Fame.
15:28Well, you're going to be in the Hall of Fame.
15:29You know it.
15:30Why?
15:30You know it.
15:31You're f***ing up World Series.
15:32You know it.
15:33You're going to be in the Hall of Fame.
15:34You f***ing up.
15:35I've won more than I've lost, kid.
15:36I know you haven't.
15:37Games, go.
15:38Games.
15:42How do I word this?
15:45Bob Knight.
15:46Bob Knight is on fire.
15:48The telephone over on the scrolling stage.
15:50I don't think there's anyone who is more passionate than Bob Knight.
15:54The side is throwing a chance of a man.
15:56Was that done politically correct there, folks?
16:00Any kind of discussion about anger management in sports, I think the first guy you've got
16:05to look at is Bobby Knight.
16:06First guy.
16:08Ah, so many Bobby Knight moments.
16:10So little time.
16:12Knight's tantrums were troublesome.
16:14They seemed mean.
16:16They seemed directed at people who were not his equal.
16:19He didn't do a lot of the public relations things for people to run around and want him to kiss
16:26their ass.
16:27That's not what he is.
16:28This tirade was directed at an unsuspecting media coordinator after Knight's Indiana team
16:33was eliminated in the first round of the 1995 NCAA tournament.
16:37One SID and the other is me.
16:39Who the hell told you I wasn't going to be here?
16:41I'd like to know.
16:42Do you have any idea who it was?
16:43Bobby Knight was frustrated.
16:44He lost the game.
16:45He's in a foul mood.
16:46And some SID just kind of got in the way.
16:49And Knight was so ticked off that he beat up on him.
16:53They were from Indiana, right?
16:54No, they weren't from Indiana.
16:55And you didn't get it from anybody from Indiana, did you?
16:58It was the ultimate form of bullying.
17:00Get angry at someone who could not protect himself.
17:03No, I'll handle this the way I want to handle it now that I'm here.
17:06You've f***ed it up to begin with.
17:08Now just sit there or leave.
17:10I don't give a f*** what you do.
17:11That's sniping and bull-
17:12I mean, these guys hide behind their words all the time.
17:17They're just words on a sheet.
17:19You know, the newspaper, the media people can write anything about you,
17:25write any narrative they want to make about you, double standard,
17:29about you behind the word.
17:31So, it's bullying when it's face to face,
17:34but you can hide behind words.
17:36I don't agree with that at all.
17:41Billy, that's why people hate Bobby Knight.
17:43Now, back to the game.
17:4711, 11, 11.
17:50Okay, you didn't think we were going to have only one Knight explosion, did you?
17:55February 23rd, 1985.
17:58Indiana was losing at home early to Purdue
18:00when Mount Knight erupted after two foul calls against his team.
18:03There's the team.
18:05It kind of gave us a clip that will live forever.
18:09Steve Reed, an excellent free throw shooter, will have the honor of shooting the technical.
18:16Bobby Knight is through his chair.
18:18We're across the free throw lane.
18:20Yeah, it's got to be a technical foul.
18:22It's got to be expulsion.
18:23I didn't know it had to be 5,000 rear rides on TV.
18:26This has erupted.
18:28There's a good chance Bobby Knight's been ejected from this basketball game.
18:32Knight was ejected and cost his team three technicals in a 72-63 loss.
18:38That is what people will think of when they think of Bob Knight, I think.
18:41Look at here, look at here.
18:42Can you throw in a chair?
18:43How's that for a legacy?
18:45One mic time.
18:46Not any of his national championships or his wins or his decades-long experience.
18:52Not him actually being a college player himself.
18:55Adding more time to his experience as far as college basketball goes.
19:02Throw in a chair.
19:08Time on earth is gone and my activities here are past.
19:14I want they bury me upside down and my critics can kiss my ass.
19:26I've never been really sure what going postal meant, but I always knew what going Hal McRae meant.
19:32After losing 12 of the first 19 games of the 1993 season, Royals manager Hal McRae was tired of losing
19:39in the stupid questions.
19:41That thing that upsets managers is getting second-guessed by a guy who probably didn't even play in Little League.
19:46Did you consider Brett for Miller with a basis for other than the 7th?
19:51No, no, don't ask me all these stupid-ass questions.
19:54At that time when it happened, I was in the sauna, and I came out, and I'm getting dressed now,
19:59and somebody said, God, did you hear what Hal did?
20:01You think I'm a damn fool?
20:14I've never seen anyone throw a pump.
20:16You know, that might have been a message to the GM, like, don't call me, I'm in the middle of
20:20something.
20:21He deserved to throw things around because they weren't playing very well, and they weren't getting with it.
20:30No shit on you guys, no shit on you players.
20:33They can do any motherf***ing thing they want to do.
20:36I'm sick and tired of all this bull****.
20:38I was leaving the locker room, and I said, Hal, I heard what happened, can you do it again?
20:42Hal started laughing, and all he said was, I don't have enough energy.
20:45I've expelled all my energy for the night.
20:47Put that in your f***ing hat and smoke it.
20:57Larry Holmes did, like, a jump off the top turnbuckle, but it was actually off the hook.
21:05Trevor Burr was talking to some people, Larry Holmes punched and kicked me, he punched and kicked me, and then
21:11Larry Holmes dropped, kicked him off the limo.
21:14That's hilarious.
21:15And they had been going back and forth for over a decade, probably.
21:20He hated Trevor Burr, but still hates Trevor Burr.
21:27But of a car, it shows you the mentality of a boxer that's been scorned.
21:33On April 7th, 1991, after Larry Holmes scored a first-round TKO in Hollywood, Florida, he said he wouldn't fight
21:41Trevor Burr, who had attended the bouton.
21:43A snubbed Burr lashed out in front of the cameras.
21:47Money, don't f***ing make yourself here!
21:50Money, don't make yourself here!
21:52Money, don't make yourself here! Don't make a man!
21:55You got to have murder and dignity what you do!
21:59That I have!
22:00Trevor Burr is a total head case.
22:03Exactly.
22:03I mean a total head case.
22:05Jenny, who live in Jacksonville, and she ain't nothing but a f***ing call girl's son.
22:10He made a comment about Larry's girlfriend in front of Larry's wife.
22:16When word of Burr Bick's allegations were relayed to Holmes in a nearby hotel suite, he came down and pursued
22:21Burr Bick out into the street.
22:23Larry Holmes, take me!
22:25Burr Bick was frightened to death at the prospect of an angry Larry Holmes.
22:34Whose car was that, and did he ever get reimbursed?
22:37How do you submit a claim form to Don King going,
22:40Excuse me, one of your fighters jumped on my hood.
22:43I need to get an estimate.
22:47It was one of the more hilarious boxing fights away from the ring that we've ever seen, because no one
22:53really got hurt.
22:58Eight, eight, eight, eight.
23:01You see one f***ing damn cult!
23:03I've never seen anybody with that sort of sustained hysteria.
23:07Tell me what I said to abuse you.
23:08You see people lose their minds, you see people who've done awful things, but nobody would just carry it on
23:15the way that McEnroe did.
23:17I'm not playing on until you get the referee.
23:18Maybe that's why no one wants to watch men's tennis anymore. There's none of the extracurricular stuff.
23:23You're pathetic, you know that?
23:24And then he couldn't figure out how to quit, and so he just would keep on rolling.
23:31Yeah, I guess I have a bad temper.
23:35On November 4th, 1984, in a semi-final of the Stockholm Open, John McEnroe staged one of his rants and
23:42rages, including an assault on a courtside tray of drinks.
23:46You have an overall name.
23:48No mistakes whatsoever.
23:50Sickness, no case.
23:51Answer my question!
23:53The question, jerk!
23:56This wasn't even a major tournament.
23:58I mean, to think that McEnroe could get so enraged about something like the Stockholm Open shows you that every
24:05time he took the court, no matter where it was, he was playing for keys.
24:16And he sat down, and he stood up again, and he hit it a couple more times.
24:23The Royal Box is right behind him.
24:25The Prime Minister and the King, they were all just soaked.
24:30I don't think it was anywhere near as bad as people sort of make it out to be.
24:34It's just a sport.
24:37McEnroe won his match against Andres Yeret and was fined $2,100, putting him over the season limit and costing
24:43him a three-week suspension.
24:46You can see what's going on in this world.
24:48You're telling me when I'm hitting a ball in the court, I mean, people like you are absolute idiots, man.
24:54John doesn't have a moral leg to stand on to criticize anybody about attitude.
24:59Next question.
25:06The Yankee clubhouse in the Martin here was one of constant tension.
25:13This was Billy. He always had to be fighting.
25:15I wanted to see his brawls from when he was a player, because they said he got into brawls as
25:22a player, and he never stopped as a manager.
25:25In some way, he was suspicious. He was contentious.
25:31On June 18, 1977, the Yankees' Reggie Jackson was summarily pulled from right field by incensed manager Billy Martin, accused
25:39him of loafing.
25:41For whatever the reason, they didn't like each other. They both had big egos.
25:44As I recollect it was Blair with a replacement, Blair knew there was going to be trouble.
25:48That's embarrassing, Reggie. He's a Hall of Famer. You don't do that.
25:52Billy accused me of loafing.
25:56Extending my arms to, like, what are you talking about?
25:59Billy was really upset.
26:01Look, Elston getting between once and make sure they're on no look.
26:04Lola struck down there.
26:06Then he told me he was going to kick my ass.
26:08And I looked at him like, the alcohol you're drinking must be going to your head.
26:13And then he really flew off.
26:15Billy wants to get out, Reggie.
26:16And that's in full view of the crowd being restrained by Yogi Berra and Elston Howard.
26:20And I really thought that Billy might pick up a bat and split Reggie's head open.
26:25I mean, that's how angry he was by that time.
26:28Austin Howard has his mouth.
26:30Billy gets around, but now Yogi's got him.
26:32And trying to wrestle him down, Yogi's got him.
26:35That kind of, I think, typified what the whole Bronx Zoo was about.
26:40And I think it also showed you don't have to have a lot of harmony on a team to be
26:44a championship team.
26:46Despite the hockey, the Yankees win it and beat the Dodgers in the World Series with Jackson belting five homers,
26:52three in one game.
26:54In a fight between Billy Martin and Reggie Jackson.
26:57Yeah, I wonder if Jackson was loafing when he became Mr. October.
27:04Although I would hope that Reggie would win, I'd bet on Billy.
27:18See, the problem was, Tyson's press conferences were more exciting than Tyson's fights.
27:29My problem with Tyson is that he talked all this trash to get embarrassed by Lewis, who was the older
27:38man.
27:40He got sat down.
27:51I'll F you till you love me, which is gay.
27:55He didn't even say no homo after that.
27:58That's gay.
28:04I've been charging for the press conference.
28:06Phoenix Lewis!
28:08And giving the fights away for free.
28:11Mike Tyson's press conference melee on January 22, 2002, was instant.
28:16It began without warning and without warm-up.
28:22Most of that stuff I usually think is orchestrated beforehand.
28:25Except in the case of Mike Tyson, they don't have to tell him to do crazy stuff.
28:30A member of the media suggested a straitjacket for the former champ.
28:34And so was another fuse lit.
28:36And it was one of those kind of perfect Mike Tyson flare-ups.
28:43Which people love to watch.
28:46But when you're in the presence of, it can be kind of frightening.
28:51You can't touch me, you're not man enough.
28:53I'll eat your f***ing body.
28:55Anybody in here can't f*** with this man.
28:58It was something there you never quite knew.
29:01A shiver came over and you thought, oh my god, this guy's gonna kill me.
29:05Come on, you f***.
29:07This dead cowards.
29:08You got a man in the f***.
29:09Like, yo, Mike, man, where's your medication?
29:12Like, what happened to the Zoloft, man?
29:13Like, you know, somebody get this dude a lollipop or something, man.
29:17He needs to chill out.
29:18I think if the guy was closer, he might have committed partner.
29:22So every now and then I kick your f***ing ass and stomp on you.
29:25and put some kind of pain or flick some kind of pain on you
29:28because you deserve to feel the pain come with
29:32I feel you can't be surprised about anything Mike Tyson does
29:35I mean anybody would put a tattoo on his face
29:37you gotta be a little concerned about
29:44if you went to see McEnroe play and there wasn't a tantrum
29:47I would think you felt cheated
29:48I've talked a lot with John off-camera since
29:52you can just feel him cringe because he knows every time we go to Wimbledon
29:56someone or usually us going to replay his tie rates at center court
30:01you know when he looked back at some of his matches most of the time he complained he was usually
30:04right
30:05I said he was the pits of the world and that's exactly what he is
30:08who even uses that phrase the pits of the world
30:13at Wimbledon in 1981 in a first round match against Tom Gullickson
30:17John McEnroe disputed a line call with a profanity-laced tie rate
30:21you can't be serious man
30:23you cannot be serious
30:25that ball was on the line
30:27Shaw flew up
30:29it was clearly hit
30:31I think the thing that made that one so unbelievable was it was at Wimbledon
30:34this hallowed ground you know where people were bowing and curtsying
30:38it just seemed so wonderfully out of place
30:42how many of you can miss?
30:43now he's walking over
30:45everyone knows it's in this whole stadium
30:47can you pull it out?
30:49explain that to you will you?
30:50I'm sorry I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world
30:53because the ball was on this side of the court
30:55the court came on it doesn't matter
30:57I don't think he ever did it intentionally
30:59I don't think he ever sat around and said
31:01okay now I'm gonna lose my cool
31:03and he wouldn't go on about it
31:05he didn't need the promotion
31:06he was
31:07I gotta agree with that
31:09because he didn't need the
31:12he was an all-time great
31:13a super all-time great
31:15he didn't need the promotion
31:17to try to get attention on himself
31:24I just think that he was a rich brat
31:27badly brought up
31:31you guys are the absolute hits of the world
31:33you know that?
31:33he was fighting his demons every
31:36almost every time he walked down on the court
31:37I'm going to award a point against you Mr. McEnroe
31:43I'm not going to be here from the Chapleys
31:45you are the incompetent
31:46because you were
31:47I'm like a referee
31:48you're not supposed to announce it
31:49that you're in the court
31:50you're not the referee brought up here
31:52right now
31:54tennis fans of the 80s
31:56certainly I was one of them
31:57we didn't just want to see good tennis
31:58we wanted to see the characters
32:01McEnroe was a character
32:02we're not going to have a point taken away
32:04because this guy is an incompetent fool
32:06you know that?
32:07that's what he needs
32:08that's what he needs
32:09though he went on to win the championship
32:11McEnroe lost the point
32:13and was fined 1,500 bucks
32:16first gangster of tennis is I avoid John McEnroe
32:19you gotta love a guy that could express himself that way on the court
32:23and not really care
32:30yes he would push players around in practice
32:33yes he was volatile
32:35power is a wonderful wonderful intoxicator
32:37I guarantee you he's the only guy on the list whose anger cost him his job
32:42when he punched a guy like three times his size in the throat
32:47takes a lot of balls to do that
32:49and anger
32:52and I think there were times when Woody Hayes was just absolutely drunk with power
32:56he was a feminine guy to him
32:58on December 29, 1978
33:01with his Ohio State team trailing 17-15 late in the Gator Bowl
33:07an enraged Woody Hayes
33:09punched Clemson linebacker Charlie Bowman
33:11who had intercepted a Buckeye pass
33:14he was furious
33:15it's least to have thrown the interception in the first place
33:20he was angry the way things were going in the game
33:23I believe Coach Hayes felt that
33:25so we covered him on this channel earlier
33:28so Art Schleister
33:36he's the scum who's the reason that
33:39Woody Hayes no longer had a job
33:41and part of the reason the Colts left Baltimore
33:46what else is he responsible for?
33:50the Gulf War?
33:52I wouldn't put it past it
33:54that's two strikes
33:58he was flaunting it
34:00this guy's never had a ball thrown to him before in life
34:03he was just happy jumping up and down
34:06not to rub it in
34:08and not to be unsportionalized
34:13I don't think Woody thought about his career at that time
34:16I don't think he thought about the circumstances
34:18there's no thinking done
34:20you tell me
34:21where can you do that in society
34:23and not get arrested?
34:25double up
34:26the 65 year old Hayes
34:28who had won 238 games
34:30and three national titles
34:31was fired the next day
34:33he never coached again
34:36the next morning Coach Hayes got out of the microphone
34:38and basically said that
34:40I'm no longer going to be your coach
34:43and you could have heard a pin drop the entire way back
34:46later Charlie Bowman picked up the phone
34:49and it was Woody Hayes
34:51and it wasn't an apology
34:54but Woody wanted to know what the play was
34:56it was an apology without apologizing
34:58a guy that had given of his life to Ohio State
35:01to see him have to leave Ohio State that way
35:06was a very sad day for me
35:123, 3, 3, 3
35:14I'm from Brownsville, Brooklyn
35:16I'm not afraid of nobody
35:17your hands are registered weapons
35:19you're a killer
35:20you're Mike Tyson
35:23then he decided to nipple on the guy's ear
35:26after Holyfield jump up and go like that
35:28and jump around and say he bit me, he bit me
35:30and then he bit him again
35:31I think that's a little odd
35:33you know everybody calls Mike Tyson a pit bull
35:35a man thought Evander Holyfield's ear was like some kittles and bits
35:39Mike, all due respect
35:41it's nice it is
35:42just don't kill me, Mike
35:45on June 28, 1997
35:477 months after losing his heavyweight title to Evander Holyfield
35:50a desperate Mike Tyson turned Holyfield into a Las Vegas buffet
35:55he thought, uh oh, this is going to be exactly the same as the first one now
35:59I don't know what to do, I gotta get out of here
36:01everybody talk about the bad neighborhood he came from
36:05but I came from the bad neighborhood too
36:07and my first thought was to bite it back
36:10I go over to Mike's corner
36:12Holyfield just came from a
36:16Holyfield was just more quiet about it
36:18but he was, he was a
36:20he was a rough, tough guy himself
36:25I heard him say it was a punch
36:27I turned him and I said
36:29bull**** man, you bit him
36:31Tyson was disqualified
36:33and the Nevada Athletic Commission suspended his license for a year
36:36and levied a $3 million fine
36:39but the perception of Tyson was not a guy who quit
36:41the perception was, what a savage guy
36:48two, two, two, two
36:50you can't run in on another man's press conference and say
36:53I will kick your ass, I will kill you
36:57and you gotta remember
36:58when an old black dude says
37:00he's going to kick your ass
37:02in a press conference
37:03you better think that it's going to happen
37:06Temple coach John Chaney is known for his raspy voice
37:09and his vehement disagreements with refs
37:13Mice on a basketball court
37:15On February 13th, 1994
37:17after the number 8 ranked Owls lost to UMass
37:20Chaney stormed into the press conference of
37:23Minutemen coach John Calipari
37:24spewing profanity and threats
37:27Temple's suspended him for the next game
37:28he's going to get a hell of a job
37:29right here today
37:29good job
37:31you can't get a job
37:32you can't get a job
37:33you can't get a job
37:34you can't get a job
37:35you can't get a job
37:36you can't get a job
37:36you can't get a job
37:37you can't get a job
37:38you can't get a job
37:41I can still see players coming in the room
37:44without their shirts on
37:45because they run out of the locker room
37:46when they heard Chaney get into this
37:47and I thought
37:48that's why I was telling my kid
37:49to knock your f****** kid in my mouth
37:51man, John just went too far
37:53Temple suspended him for the next game
37:55three days after the incident
37:57an embarrassed and tearful Chaney
37:59issued a public apology
38:03UMass, Temple, Boston, Philadelphia
38:05I mean, what more needs to be said?
38:09I don't know if UMass is in Boston
38:12it's in Massachusetts
38:14so here it is in all its ugly, raging, ranting glory
38:18the worst of the worst
38:20what?
38:21what?
38:22and I said, you know what?
38:23but if he calls me out for using too much pine tar
38:25on my bed
38:26I'll run out there and kill one of those guys
38:30mmm...
38:31mmm...
38:31mmm...
38:31mmm...
38:33I don't know if that should be number one
38:35he didn't...
38:35he didn't...
38:36I wanna see some punches flying
38:38like, Mike Tyson should've, probably been number one
38:43that's like fighting out your love with somebody and they cheated on you at your wedding
38:52if they hadn't gotten between him he would have slugged that umpire and
38:55one wonders what they would have done then possibly restrained you want anger management
39:00you need anger management the Yankees have won the ball game in 1983 the Yankees Craig Nettles
39:06had noticed pine tar slathered on George Brett's bat it wasn't ace in the hole he filed away I knew
39:13the rule was there because Munson had been called on him a couple years earlier Nettles have been
39:17telling the Yankees let's just wait just wait just wait when he does something really important
39:22let's get the tying runners at first base and two out in the ninth inning July 24th the Yankees led
39:29the Royals by a run lead uh-oh uh-oh that's gone the George clock's one it's gone
39:38the job my head's doggone it Kansas City's all happy and Billy Martin confronts him
39:44Billy Martin and the Yankees want the bat he was going to make something happen
39:49George Brett looking around and wanting to know what's going on and the umpires are going to get
39:52together and talk about this thing and everybody's saying did you cork your bat on the dugout
39:56I'm not and I'm not corking my bat well Brett isn't sure whether he has a home run yet or
40:01not
40:01the pine tar ruling never came up until he laid the bat across home plate I've never seen this
40:06and George is well beyond that I mean you could get a hit on the meat part of the bat
40:10and come up
40:11with pine tar on it they might call George Brett out well he is he's out yes sir Brett is
40:17out look at this
40:18Brett is out and the team is back he is out and having to be forcibly restrained from hitting
40:28plate umpire Tim McClellan what he saw was a truly mentally ill jerk Billy Martin
40:36coming out to steal something from him four days later American League president Lee McPhail upheld the
40:44protest and allowed the home run to stand the remainder of the game was ordered replay and
40:50Casey's 5-4 lead held up George knows he's really lucky he didn't get suspended in the NBA that's a
40:56definite charge I got in the ballpark today now Zeke was going through my bat supply and he picked out
41:01the best one I had and we went up 18 inches and we drew a little line with a little
41:06pen and we're
41:08gonna keep it below the line so all that's left now is to sift through the smoke and rubble and
41:15find out what our resident second-guessers Bert Randolph Sugar and the Schwab himself Howie Schwab
41:21think of ESPN classics ranking of those in desperate need of a hug word is that in debating these these
41:27two actually ended up in therapy themselves gentlemen I'd love to hear more about it not on this channel
