Colorado football coach Dan Hawkins had a meltdown of the Greg Escherick variety on National Signing Day when he received an anonymous letter from a parent of one of his players complaining that the student athletes are only getting two weeks of vacation instead of three weeks. This inspired Sportscenter to have a "Top 10 Meltdowns/Rants" segment, which included Iverson's "we are talking about practice", Pat Riley's "the team quit, quit, quit", Dennis Green's "The bears are who we thought they were", John Chaney vs John Calipari, and Mike Tyson vs the media. No Greg Escherick "he's just a kid", and no Jim Rome and "Chris Everett" turning the tables on him, and no "I wanna eat his children" by Mike Tyson.
To balance this with some good karma, check the latest stories on Good News in College Sports, including a Valentine's day themed story.

How does ESPN make such a list without forgetting history's greats? I'm talking about Lee Elia and Earl Weaver. Baseball produces some of the best tirades and meltdowns!
Thanks for more meltdowns!
