★ Best Sound Bites from the World of Sports ★
Since the 1970s, sports have dominated television and changed the way we think about sports, teams and especially the individuals – players and coaches. The highlights of these sports can be seen on ESPN, sports talk shows, headline news, youtube, local news and any number of television and web sites. Who can forget the first time they witnessed John McEnroe’s tirade at an umpire in 1981 – “you cannot be serious!” Or when they watched with dropped jaw as Los Angeles Dodgers exec Al Campanis exposed his racist bent and threw away a great career as a GM. Or the shock of Jim Everett tackling tv show host Jim Rome after being taunted one too many times. Video is much more electric and immediate than the staid newspaper articles of old. The images imprint upon our memory through repetition.
What we have done is collect the best of the sports sounds bites of the last century. We cover all sports, from NFL to NBA, MLB to NASCAR, NHL to Olympics. We cover the top 10 of all time – you know what they are --- Jim Mora’s Playoffs rant, Joe Namath’s drunken flirting with Suzy Kolber, Hal McRae’s phone-tossing cussfest, Lee Elia’s profanity-laden assault on fans… But there are hundreds more. Steroid denials, HIV admissions, adultery unveiled, the blame game, etc.
Language warning.
