Greatest Speeches in Sports History

[Fezticle98]

I'm 50% sure there is already a thread on this topic, but I couldn't find it with the search function, so fuck it.

What is the greatest, most inspiring, or funniest speech in sports history?

I'll start out with an obvious one amongst the greatest: Lou Gehrig's farewell address.

One of my favorites is Marty Schottenheimer's "There's a gleam" speech before the '86 or '87 AFC Championship that the Browns coughed up to the Broncos. Mostly for unintetional comedy reasons.

I hope Hosp's roomate puts out a fire by stomping on it.

Sam Wyche: “This is not Cleveland !”

[Tenbatsuzen]

There was a speech about giving 100 percent for six seconds for every play, but to this day, I can't remember it or who said it. I want to say Woody Hayes, but I'm not sure.

Goddamn lard-ass Barkley Donaldson, I'm tellin' you he jumped us!
Gloves off, stick down, no warning, he challenged the Chiefs!
Called us names!
Called us names! But Dave was there.
Dave's a killer!
Dave's a mess.
But Dave's out. Who's gonna take his place?
Is the answer Jesus?
