Best press conference in the history of sports...

General talk. News, religion, politics, your daily life, whatever, it goes here. Just keep it clean.

Best press conference in the history of sports...

Post by GhaleonOne »

So, the English Premiership club Newscastle United hired an "old-school" football interim manager by the name of Joe Kinnear to manage the club until new ownership comes in sometime in the next month. Apparently knowing his job was temporary, and not worrying about being fired, he decides to tell the press exactly what he thinks of them. For all the American's here, this would be the equivalent of the NFL having a live press conference on TV, and having a coach go on an expletive-laced tirade against the media. There were 54 curse words in 13 minutes in this press conference. Considering how ridiculous the British press can be about making stuff up, it's downright hilarious, and I'm sure most managers were smiling at it. Even if it was extremely politically incorrect. Plus, listening to a pissed off British old guy cussing out the media is just bloody brilliant.
