Arizona Cardinals quarterback Derek Anderson has apologized for his Monday night postgame tirade. "My mom and dad didn't raise me to act like that in times of adversity," he said Wednesday. The quarterback's rant, now a nationwide spectacle, came after a series of questions from Kent Somers, The Arizona Republic's beat reporter, about why Anderson was smiling with teammate Deuce Lutui on the sideline while the Cardinals trailed the San Francisco 49ers by 18 points late in the game. The brief clip of the two grinning had been shown during the Monday night telecast. Anderson said after the game that it was no one's business what he and Lutui were discussing, and as Somers persisted, Anderson lost his temper and shouted about how he had put his "freaking heart and soul" into the team and that there was nothing funny about it. Anderson was low-key and contrite as he opened his weekly news conference Wednesday. "Let's try to do this in a manner that doesn't end up all over the YouTube, if we can," he said. " ... Obviously I was very frustrated by what had happened during the game, and I let my emotions get away from me." Source: NFL.com
That tirade is right up there with Dennis Green's "They are who they thought they were" rant and Jim Mora's Playoffs!? rant. I'm dead serious......
Bigfooted Goofy-esque bastard will be remembered for this even if he should be forgotten completely. **********Automerged Doublepost**********
