Awww Freak Out!
I have long been a fan of the word fuck and all of it’s various uses. I really love all swear words like asshole and cocksucker and even damn. And I’m a huge fan of rants and people freaking out. People say the funniest things when they are pissed off, it’s great. And there is about no place better to find a massive rant or freak out than sports. Every now and then you get gems like the Jim Mora freak out in which he is famously saying “playoffs? Don’t talk to me about playoffs!” or the legendary freak out with former Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green ranting about a loss to the Chicago Bears. But my all time great freak out then former Cubs manager Lee Elia’s 1983 profanity laced rant mostly against the Cub fans. Elia used the f-word some 37 times in the three minute rant but he was not limited to fuck, he used all sorts of words. You don’t need to be a baseball fan to fully appreciate this rant, which this past week celebrated it’s 30th anniversary. I remember hearing the censored version probably for the first time when I was about 12 but fortunately we have the internets which allows people to upload the uncensored version which you can hear by clicking on this link:

Oh freak outs. How fun!
