THE OTHER FIFTEEN PERCENT: Today marks the twenty-first anniversary of the greatest press conference in professional sports history.

Now, I'm not one to make lists, but this one's better than Herman Edwards' We Play To Win The Game, better than Practice? We Talkin' 'Bout Practice?, even better than John Chaney's interruption of a John Calipari press conference in 1994.

No, we take you back to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field on April 29, 1983, and Cubs manager Lee Elia's not feeling friendly towards the fans after a 4-3 loss:
The [DELETED] don't even work. That's why they're out at the [DELETED] game. They oughta go out and get a [DELETED] job and find out what it's like to go out and earn a [DELETED] living. Eighty-five percent of the [DELETED] world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A [DELETED] playground for the [DELETED] . Rip them [DELETED] . Rip them [DELETED] [DELETED] like the [DELETED] players.

Link is unexpurgated, and not safe for work. There are 35 f-bombs in all, and it's something. Hear them all via this link.
