I'm gonna go ahead and rank Jim Mora at the preliminary top spot. Playoffs?? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwq7BYOnDrM)

Raise your hand if you knew that the 49ers won the game he is talking about. :D

What other great quotes can you guys remind of me from NFL history?

I object, this video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cDAq5tyfk9E) should be crowned #1.

Excellent contribution. Green had the bigger meltdown, but I still think Mora's was funnier.

Who was that? Walsh?

I will raise my hand because I was at that game...JJ Stokes gave the ball from a TD pass he caught to a fan sitting next to me who was wearing his jersey in Indy.

"Hello You Play To Win The Game,If Your Not Here To Play To Win The Game Then Get Out"-Herman Edwards during a Jets press conference after a lost.

I am not sure who said this, but he was a caller on the Jim Rome Show. (not a radio listener, but another sportscaster).

It was after the New Orleans Saints lost a home game on Sunday Night Football against the Colts (the Colts put up 62 points)

Rome was talking about how the Saints pissed and moaned to get on Prime Time and didn't put up an effort at all. The caller, refering to the Saints defense said "They couldn't cover a dead body with a sheet." That still makes me laugh to this day!

I like one Randy Cross said in the book 'We were Champions'. It was Bill Walsh's first season, but Randy's fifth head coach and he was skeptical.

Bill's first speech to the team went like

You guys are sitting out there waiting on me and figure, 'Hey, look, if I can't play for this guy, I'll go play somewhere else.' In case you haven't kept up on current events, this is the worst team in the NFL. If you can't play for me, who else can you play for?

That got the team's attention.

Joe Montana after "The Catch" to a Cowboys player.

Nice. My favorite quote related to that game is when Joe came back to the huddle after getting hit after a throw. I forget the DT's name, but it was the guy who was co-MVP in the Super Bowl. Anyway, Joe is laying there with the guy on top of him and looks up and says "hey, I didn't know you were here today!" He repeats it in the huddle and the O-line freaks out at him. :laugh:

"Bummer"

Steve Mariucci, in a press conference the week after a playoff victory against the Giants after announcing to the press corps that he had been informed by the director of officiating that the refs had screwed up at the end of the game, and the Giants should have had another play.

"Bummer"

Headline in new york paper the next week when York ****canned Mariucci after the Bucs loss.

Wait, what? Tampa beat Oakland. Was Flowers around for Super Bowl XXX?

The Pittsburgh game was in the regular season. The Flowers quote was then.

The team he was talking about then destroyed Pittsburgh and went on to win the superbowl later that same season.

Sorry if i wasn't clear.

A couple from Bill Parcells
"Sean is going to have a few ... no disrespect to the Orientals, but what we call ‘Jap plays.’ OK? Surprise things. No disrespect to anyone." - talking about surprise attack plays of coordinator Sean Payton.

Oh man Parcells has so many good ones!

“No matter how much you've won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you're not winning now, so you stink.”

“When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know.” :ph34r:

Then there was another one regarding TO not practicing when he scorned the media saying something like, "Is there something abnormal about practicing? We have a whole football team out there practicing and all you guys want to talk about is the guy who isn't practicing"

Parcells is awesome!

Everett's career was over after that phantom sack in the 89 NFC Championship game. And I was laughing so hard when he walked up to center to take his first snap. Even Madden commented that he looked like a gun fighter walking into a saloon or something like that.

On the video, I would have thoroughly kicked Rome's *** then settle the lawsuit. It would have been well worth it. :Guitar:

Yeah he took a down turn after 89, but can you blame him behind some of those Ram teams after that. The dude seemed to go into shellshock. When he finally got to another team and had some people and a line in front of him again he didn't do to bad. Look at this stat line from 1995 with the Saints.

I almost forgot about this one: (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/dr_z/10/04/ranks.week4/index.html)

You see, the Bills once had this kicker named Booth Lusteg. I guess this was around the mid-1960s. They blew a game at home, in War Memorial Stadium, because he missed a field goal at the end. After the game two guys were waiting for him in the parking lot and they beat him up. The police asked him if he wanted to press charges. "No," he said. "I deserved it."

Nevyn

08-29-2007, 01:19 PM

Then there's Peyton Manning:

"Here we are," Manning said. "I'm out at my third Pro Bowl, I'm about to go in and throw a touchdown to Jerry Rice, we're honoring the Hall of Fame, and we're talking about our ***** kicker who got liquored up and ran his mouth off.

"The sad thing is, he's a good kicker. He's a good kicker. But he's an *****."

Of course, Manning would never run HIS mouth off because he is a good teammate:

Well I'm trying to be a good teammate and all, but we had some big protection problems. "

First of all, rugs are Oriental, people are Asian. Parcells just sounds ignorant.

Secondly, making a comparison for an unpredictable playbook with the attack on Pearl Harbor isn't really funny. I'm guessing there was a long uncomfortable silence in the room after that remark. It was Dallas, however, so maybe not.
