The Shrine

There have got to be a lot of great candidates here, and I really don't know any of them.

My vote - NBA Playoffs May 2008, Lakers vs. Spurs Game 4

"Neither Jackson nor Spurs coach Gregg Popovich understood the purpose of the NBA's issuing a statement regarding the last play of Game 4, when Derek Fisher wasn't called for a foul on Brent Barry before the San Antonio guard missed a potential game-winning three-pointer. "Shoulda, woulda, coulda," said Jackson. "The league usually doesn't get themselves involved in that. I was kind of surprised." Popovich wasn't even aware of the statement before the game and had to be told by reporters. "Oh, thank you, that's a great help," he said sarcastically. "I'll send some flowers to the NBA. That's great."

Barry, however, had the greatest response when he found out the NBA said he got fouled 24 hours after the game was over. "That's awesome," he said, "Because Doc Brown is waiting for me outside, and we're going to get in the DeLorean and fire up the flux capacitor and we're going to go back and shoot a couple of free throws."

At the Memorial golf tournament a few weeks back i died laughing at the commentators. Faldo has always been known to frank. This is a copy of a sports blog who put it well:

"Look at the size of that divot. Would you like French fries or a baked potato with that?” – David Feherty, after watching Matt Bettencourt lay about a 24-inch piece of sod over his ball while dunking a wedge shot on Sunday.

“Medium well.” – Nick Faldo, piling on.

National TV, it turns out, is a tough place to chunk one when you’re in the final twosome at the Memorial. Ouch.

Rickey Henderson for the win:

Nice.

I like these two:

"2) In the early 1980s, the Oakland A’s accounting department was freaking out. The books were off $1 million. After an investigation, it was determined Rickey was the reason why. The GM asked him about a $1 million bonus he had received and Rickey said instead of cashing it, he framed it and hung it on a wall at his house."

"19) In the late 1980s, the Yankees sent Henderson a six-figure bonus check. After a few months passed, an internal audit revealed the check had not been cashed. Current Yankees GM Brian Cashman – then a low-level nobody with the organization – called Rickey and asked if there was a problem with the check. Henderson said, “I’m just waiting for the money market rates to go up.”"

#2 is my favourite one. Just goes to show you how both incredibly retarded and egotistical he really is
