I was debating on whether or not to create a thread for this or not but I am trying to find the transcript of his rant. I can't find it nowhere...

Any help?

I think he made a very good point about the media attacking these kids. I bet he get all respect he needs from his players.

Sure, but he did go a bit overboard IMO. My favorite thing, though, was when Pat Forde used his column this week to rail on Gundy for being a hypocrite because he's part of an industry that doesn't let kids be kids, while meanwhile Forde is WORKING FOR THE MEDIA, which is of course the primary source of all the hype and attention these kids have to deal with. Asshat.

The guy was right in how the athletes get attacked but goodness... Decaf!!!

It was funny but not as funny as Dennis Green...

Crown them!!!

Thank God he wasn't talking about practice...

Practice? Practice? We talking about practice?

He better believe that Barry Sanders isn't walking through those doors, Thurman Thomas isn't walking through those doors...

Haha...very good, though my favorite is Mora and his "PLAYOFFS?!?!" rant....absolute classic.

This is what's great about sports. This is what the greatest thing about sports is. You play to win the game. Hello? You play to win the game. You don't play it to just play it. That's the great thing about sports: you play to win, and I don't care if you don't have any wins. You go play to win. When you start tellin' me it doesn't matter, then retire. Get out! 'Cause it matters

The Bears are who we thought they were. That is why we took
the ---- field," Green said. "If you want to crown them,
crown their ---. They are who we thought they were and we
let them off the hook."

"It was the wrong decision, and I think anybody that knows anything about the game knows that," Solo said. "There's no doubt in my mind I would have made those saves. You have to live in the present. And you can't live by big names. You can't live in the past."

Yea I was pretty shocked to see the 0-4 thing. Lotta that goin around I guess.

Gundy was right on in that reaction. He embarrassed the hell out of that stupid reporter, even if he had to look kinda nuts (I'm a MAN! I'm FORTY! - hilarious in retrospect). A lot of reporters are siding with her, which is laughable considering the vast majority of any readership sides with the coach (polls of the fanbase are overwhelmingly with Gundy, not the reporter).


ALL TIME RANT - wasn't even a coach. Check BGS for the MSU radio guy with his "choke job" rant. I literally almost threw up I was laughing so hard at that guy. The best part is it runs for like 10 minutes and yet continues to be funny throughout.

She was right, but she shouldn't have said it to the media
