Ok, it's Friday, so that means there will be a fair amount of comedy published.
We treat this clip from Coach Knight as sort of like the youtube series of Hitler parodies, only it's in English so we can't change the words. That's where your imagination kicks in. It's really pretty simple. Just imagine that Greg Graham is BP CEO Tony Hayward, and the rest of the IU team represents the BP Top Kill team.
Whatever works for you. Fix the image in your head, and press play (turn your speakers up because the lashing begins almost immediately).
Video: Bobby Knight chews out BP executives
Warning: Profanity...Mostly F-bombs. Quotes are transcribed inside.
While listening it might be helpful to remember that Coach Knight is 6'6' and weighs 260 on a good day. And he tends to get in your face and spit when he yells. Now you're ready to listen as Coach talks to BP execs.
The quotes here begin after the first 15 seconds or so of the clip.
- "Now, I'm tired of this shit. I'm sick and fucking tired of this oil spill. I'm fucking tired of destroying the Gulf. I'm not here to fuck around this week."
- "Now you may be, but I'm not. Now I'm going to fucking guarantee you, that if we don't cap this leak, you aren't going to believe the next 4 fucking days."
- "Now I am not here to get my ass beat on Monday. You better fucking understand that right now."
- "This is absolute, fucking bullshit. I'll fucking run your ass right into the ground. I mean I'll fucking run you. You' ll think last night was a fucking picnic."
- "I had to sit around for a fucking month watching you lie about the spill, lie to the American people."
- "And I mean you will not put me in that fucking position again. Or you will pay for it like you can't fucking believe."
- "Now you better get your head out of your ass."
