  • in the ultra competitive and highly intense environment that is the world of sports.

  • Sometimes tempers reached a boiling point.

  • What?

  • Welcome to launch model dot com And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 sports meltdowns for this list.

  • We're looking specifically at meltdowns that took place during gameplay and including both players and coaches.

  • We're excluding press conferences, however, because we already have a list on that very topic.

  • It shouldn't be in the game, that stuff.

  • I don't want it in the game, but I have to protect my team to Number 10.

  • Earl Weaver.

  • One more.

  • I've lost kid.

  • I know you haven't James Earl Weaver, one over 1400 games, is the manager of the Baltimore Orioles between 1968 and 1986.

  • Perhaps equally impressive, however, is the fact that he was ejected from nearly 100 games during that same time period.

  • One of his most notorious outbursts came in 1980 in a game against the Tigers, when Weaver went toe to toe with umpire Bill Holler, who happened to be wearing a microphone.

  • Weaver accused Holler of blatantly cheating the Orioles and even threatened to punch him square in the face.

  • You do it again and I'll knock you right.

  • You know I didn't get you.

  • Number nine.

  • John Tortorella.

  • Tortorella continues to berate Bob Hartley.

  • He is furious, Famous for his profanity filled tirades, Tortorella took things to another level when he attempted to fight Bob Hartley, the coach of the Calgary Flames, in the locker room during the first intermission of a game.

  • John Tortorella has gone over to the Calgary Flames hallway outside their room.

  • Tortorella was furious because he believed the Flames initiated a line brawl to start the game in an attempt to injure one of the Canucks players, Flames, coaches and players looked on while conduct players held him back.

  • Needless to say, the NHL was not impressed with Tortorella's actions and suspended him for 15 days without pay.

  • But across the line.

  • I'm not gonna go there.

  • Please don't push me here.

  • I'll answer your questions.

  • I've tried to be as honest as possible with that, but I'm not gonna go into the other stuff.

  • Number eight.

  • Kyle Busch and Joey Logano and he blows landed between the two of you, none to me.

  • Can't we all just get along.

  • Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough certainly didn't agree at the 1979 Daytona 500 neither would Kyle Busch and Joey Logano as the pair engaged in a full on fist fight at the finish line of the Cobalt 400 in Las Vegas in 2017.

  • Bush and Logano were fighting for third place on the final lap when Logano made contact with Busch's car, causing it to spin out.

  • Logano would ultimately finish fourth, while Bush dropped to 22nd.

  • Moments after finishing, Bush physically confronted Logano and his pit crew.

  • Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately for Bush, he walked away with loss and a bloody forehead.

  • But surprisingly, no penalties.

  • How Joey races.

  • So he's gonna get it.

  • Number seven.

  • Jurgen Klinsmann.

  • I think a lot of things have been building up inside of me for months.

  • Towards the end of his career, Klinsmann joined Bayern Munich and helped lead the team to the Bundesliga title during the 1996 97 season.

  • He didn't always see eye to eye with manager Giovanni Trapattoni, however, and things boiled over during a game against Freiburg.

  • Trapattoni removed Klinsmann from a tie game, much to the star strikers frustration.

  • He led his coach and the world.

  • No.

  • He was unhappy when he launched an extremely forceful kick into an advertising pillar, leaving a pretty impressive hole in the side.

  • Obviously, I'm slightly disappointed.

  • Number six Philip Wilman It isn't often that managers of minor league baseball teams become household names.

  • And to this day you may pause for a second when you hear the name Phillip Wellman but mentioned the Mississippi Braves manager meltdown and almost every sports fan will know what you mean.

  • Willman gained international attention when he was ejected from a game in 2007 after having covered home plate in dirt, removed all of the bases, crawled across the field in a prone position and tossed the rosin bag at an umpire over the top.

  • Sure, but memorable all the same.

  • Number five.

  • The Boston Bruins go into MSG stands.

  • The fans are now getting involved.

  • If you came across this clip on television, you think it's a scene from Slapshot rather than from an actual NHL game.

  • Seventies were a different time, however, and fantasy became reality on December 23rd, 1979 during a game between the Boston Bruins and the New York Rangers.

  • What started as a skirmish between the players quickly escalated as fans began throwing things on the ice and reaching over the glass to punch Bruins players.

  • Several players responded by going into the stands, including Mike Milbury, who wound up beating a fan with a shoe like to beat them to death with their own shoes.

  • Number four Liu Panella throws base.

  • Who would have thought America's pastime could get people so angry?

  • Despite earning the nickname Sweet Lou Piniella was far from a sweetheart proven by the fact that he was ejected 63 times during his managerial career.

  • Arguably, his most famous ejection came during his best season is manager of the 1990 Cincinnati Reds, the eventual World Series champions.

  • Panella, furious about a call, picked up the base and launched it into the outfield.

  • While this move has been seen again, it's never quite been done with the same force or anger as Penella.

  • Number three.

  • You cannot be serious.

  • You can't be serious, man.

  • To be honest, we could probably make an entire top 10 list of best John McEnroe meltdowns.

  • Considering how many he had answered my question.

  • The question jerk this'll.

  • One, however, is one of his best.

  • In a match against Tom Gullikson of Wimbledon, chair umpire Edward James ruled that a ball McEnroe had hit was out.

  • McEnroe, groom or and Mawr enraged, although surprisingly, kept it relatively.

  • PG.

  • Still, his you cannot be serious remains by far one of his greatest quotes of all time.

  • You cannot be serious.

  • That ball was on the line.

  • Number two.

  • The Pine Tar incident on the Yankees have won the ballgame 43 that is called out for using an illegal back.

  • This game was legendary for all the wrong reasons.

  • In a game against the New York Yankees in 1983 Kansas City Royal George Brett hit a two run homer in the ninth inning to give his team the lead.

  • The umpires took a closer look at Brett's bat, however, and ruled that there was too much pine tar on it, nullifying Bretz home run.

  • Brett famously sprinted from the dugout following the call to confront the umpires.

  • The Royals pro tested the game and it was actually upheld and Bretz home run was restored in a game resumed a few weeks later, they might be going to call George Brett out.

  • Well, is what?

  • He's out.

  • Yes, sir, It is out.

  • Look.

  • Look at this.

  • Bread is out.

  • Demon, before we unveil our number one pick, here are some honorable mentions.

  • Yes.

  • Yeah.

  • And Ross just goes off right here with falls down.

  • Look out below.

  • And he's not done either.

  • A milk crate will come flying over the boards suspension, possibly to follow Carlos Perez going after the equipment waterfall.

  • That's dangerous, actually.

  • I mean, there there are people somewhere nearby.

  • Number one.

  • The Pacers Pistons brawl, also known as malice at the Palace, now are tested.

  • Jumped over the scorer's table on trying to get down to the bench.

  • Test is in the stands thistles, perhaps the most infamous brawl in the history of sports and certainly the MBA things took a dark turn on 1 November night in 2004 at the Palace of Auburn Hills during a game between Indiana and Detroit.

  • With less than a minute to go, a scuffle broke out between players on the court.

  • Things appeared to be settling down until Pacers player Ron our test was hit with a drink thrown by a fan in the stands.

  • The Fire ER test then went into the crowd and ignited a huge fight.

  • Following the incident, nine players were suspended for a total of 146 games, while the fan who through the plastic cup and subsequently punched our test was charged with assault and battery.

  • Thing is a disgrace.

  • Do you agree with our picks?
