Bobby Cox
Think that ball was inside? (Cox's record setting ejection)

That ball was so far inside it was almost undescended. To his credit, Chipper didn't argue and we did need him for the game winning hit.
Here is the video.
The best part? Look for McCann's ejection after Cox gets ejected. Brian has that "Oh yeah, there he goes again" look on his face.

Idiots (Skip Bayless and Jemele Hill) on ESPN's "First and 10"

I wish, I wish, that I
had the video from this but alas, I don't. I was
watching ESPN's "First and 10" and Skip Bayless and
Jemele Hill were discussing Bobby Cox breaking the
all time ejections record.
Everything started out well. Skip said that he had spoken with Bobby before and that he didn't seem the type who was prone to anger. Jemele's first words were "He has had issues with domestic violence before." Skip then rips into Bobby for his anger issues and also suggests that a major reason why was thrown out was (paraphrased) "to inject some passion into his emotionless club." Then both of them go into more anger issues of Cox and how stupid and useless the act of getting thrown out of a game.
It is incredibly obvious that neither of these buffoons have ever seen Cox get thrown out of a game. He never loses his temper. He never shows up the umps. He never acts like an ass; ala Lou Piniella. He gets in his say, he usually protects his player from being tossed, and he leaves. Cox, usually, gets thrown out to protect his players and both of these commentators did him a huge disservice by first, commenting on behavior they had never seen, and second, assuming the worst about a person.
