Top 5 Postgame Conference Meltdowns of All Time (on YouTube)

There are two schools of memorable postgame press conferences. At one end of the spectrum is the one liner. Both teams played hard. But every once in a while, a coach or player suffers a complete meltdown. When we’re lucky, it gets caught on tape.

Honorable Mention:
Year in and year out the Cardinals suck, but someone picks them as the sleeper of the year. Once in a while, I almost buy it. And then they go and almost beat the Bears. The sad thing is, no matter how ingrained in my memory that game is, Denny Green will forever be remembered for the Coors Light commercials. Poor Denny, he almost made the top five.



5) OK State’s Gundy is a man

An instant classic. Not only does he call out reporters for calling out his players, he uses a newspaper as a prop. He’s a man! He’s 40!



4) The Answer misses practice

We’re talkin bout practice. Not a game not a game not a game. We talkin bout practice. Not a meltdown, but it makes the list anyway. Cause we’re talkin bout practice.



3) Chaney makes Calipari shit bricks

It’s one thing to meltdown at your press conference. It’s another thing altogether to do it at the other team’s press conference. Cheney’s at least twice his age, but Calipari is seriously afraid for his life.



2) The Namesake

Remember when the Colts had less wins per season than Peyton Manning had commercials per game? Jim Mora does.



1) Lee Elia v. Cubs fans

Not safe for work. Or children. Or fans of the Cubs.
