    #LetsGoSwitzerlandThe Man Who Does Not Read Has No Advantage Over the Man Who Cannot Read. The biggest obstacle to progress is a habit of “buying what we want and begging for what we need.”You get the Freedom you fight for and get the Oppression you deserve.

    I was going to say Mike Ditka, you didn't want to mess with him.

    Yeah, Bobby Knight for sure - Maybe Lou Holtz too but with his lisp none of his player could know if he was mad or not!

    Ditka, Noll and the Big Tuna are the first ones I think of. I think I would have had to change my underwear if I had been on the receiving end of any of their tirades

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
