Possibly the Grand Daddy Of All “Spells”!

This is one minor league baseball manager who really got his moneys worth arguing a call with the umpire.  It’s beyond classic!!

“Diddly Poo”

Posted in Temper Tantrum Moment on April 21, 2008 by The Duke

Here is former New Orleans Saints head coach Jim Mora after his final game as coach back in 1996.  This is not the “PLAYOFFS” speech, although I’m sure we’ll see that in the near future in Temper Tantrum Moments.  Mora resigned the day after this beauty.  My only question is why not swear like a man?!!!

“I’ll Kill You”

Posted in Temper Tantrum Moment on April 16, 2008 by The Duke

It appears long-time Temple basketball coach John Chaney woke up on the wrong side of the bed in this classic “spell” from 1994.  This is what the world of sports needs more of — coaches fighting coaches!

Hal’s “Sick & Tired”

Posted in Temper Tantrum Moment on April 9, 2008 by The Duke

A new feature on The Duke of Sports will be the odd Temper Tantrum Moment.  For those of you who know me quite well, I tend to blow my top from time to time, or as Jason Dale likes to call it, “taking a spell”!  So every once in a while I’ll be posting a youtube video showcasing some famous “spells” for you all to enjoy.  The first comes from former Kansas City Royals manager Hal McRae, who was none too impressed with one journalists second-guessing of his move to keep then player (now Hall of Famer) George Brett on the bench during a critical moment in the Royals loss that nite.  ENJOY!
