Best Sports Insults

[FidelCashflow]

I was reading a magazine, and it had a top 10 list of best sports insults ever uttered that I think are worth sharing.

• John McEnroe (to a line judge, 1980 US Open "You can't see as well as these ******* flowers - and they're ******* plastic!"
  
  
• (Cricket) Aussie paceman Glenn McGrath and Zimbabwean Eddo Brandes. "˜Hey, Brandes, why are you so ******* fat?', shouted McGrath. "˜Cos every time I **** your wife she gives me a biscuit'!' responded Brandes.
  
  
  
• Cricket Player: "How's your wife and MY kids?"
  Other guy: "Wife's fine... kid's are marsupialed."

Got any others?

The second two are great. I actually Laughed Out Loud instead of just typing it...

"Well bowled Harold."

Douglas Jardine congratulates Harold Larwood, his fast bowler, after he hit Bill Woodfull, the Australia captain, over the heart during the infamous Bodyline series in 1932.

"It's red, round and weighs about five ounces, in case you were wondering."

Greg Thomas, of Glamorgan, unwisely makes fun of Viv Richards's inability to hit the ball. Richards soons smashes it out of the ground and replies: "Greg, you know what it looks like. Now go and find it."

"Don't bother son, you won't be out there long enough."

Fred Trueman to a new Australia batsman during an Ashes Test who had turned to shut the gate after coming on to the pitch

...I'm just lifting all these from a website ....more to come

 

[appolyon]

This is my island, my culture. Don't you be staring at me. In my culture we just bowl." "In my culture we just say f*** off."

What Viv Richards said to the Australia fast bowler Merv Hughes, and Hughes's response

 

[appolyon]

More from the cricket world...

"There's no way you are good enough to play for England." "Maybe not, but at least I'm the best cricketer in my family."

James Ormond, the fast bowler, has a quick retort to Mark Waugh, brother of Steve, when he is sledged on his debut for England.

^ How many times do you think Mark copped something along those lines

Cricket is the greatest sport of all time. Where else can you look like this and still be a world class player?

Fark, Boonie looks positively lanky next to those two!

I never expected cricketers to be such smack-talkers.
