30th anniversary of the Lee Elia rant

[Vercingetorix]

April 29, 1983. If some of you young guys haven't heard it, you need to. This is the godfather of all memorable coaching/managerial rants since.

Elia was unhappy because Cubs fans were booing their own team after a poor start to the season.

A youtube of the (very NSFW) rant is here.

Cubs fans can buy a poster of a transcript of the rant, printed out in Cubs colors, here.

I had not heard this, until now. That is quite the rant.


I'm impressed.

I think Freak is happier if anything blatantly NSFW stuffed is clearly marked that way and linked rather than embedded. I aim to please.

I'd never seen this one before. Fantastic. Too bad about all the bleeping.

I was the ripe old age of 7 months at the time of this rant.

Deal with it.

I was only 3 so this is the first Ive heard of it. That was great.

Better than Mike Leach's at tech by a mile!

"It's a ****ing playground for the ocraysuckers" just might be the greatest quote ever.
