Chaos erupted within seconds after tantrums became an all-out war. In the end, the pair received fines and suspensions from the UFC. It was an infamous event that sealed its place in MMA folklore. Meanwhile, this rivalry continues to rumble.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nMandatory Credit: USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n3. Jim Everett<\/h3>\n This infamous clash of Jims occurred in 1994 when Everett went on the Jim Rome show. The Rams quarterback was a sensitive soul and Rome discovered this the hard way. However, it was the ESPN host’s fault because he took a joke too far. He continuously referred to Everett as ‘Chris.’ This was a reference to Chris Evert, a popular female tennis player of the time.<\/p>\nMandatory Credit: USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nEventually, Everett snapped and erupted in one of TV’s most entertaining tantrums. He flipped the table over and knocked Rome to the ground. While Rome definitely deserved a good slap, it was probably good for his show in hindsight because there is nothing like a quarterback assault to up the ratings. To sum up, Everett was in the right and everybody applauded him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nMandatory Credit: USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n2. John McEnroe<\/h3>\n “You cannot be serious!”<\/em> instantly became the line that defined McEnroe’s life. He even used the quote as the title of his biography after he retired. The catchphrase materialized during Wimbledon in 1981. The British tournament is notorious for its strict rules and code of conduct, while McEnroe was a fiery personality. In short, they weren’t a match made in heaven.<\/p>\nMandatory Credit: USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHe played Tom Gullickson in a game where the umpire ruled that his serve was out. The US tennis star instantly erupted with one of tennis’s most famous tantrums and began with that immortal line. He continued lambasting the official for several moments and outraged the Wimbledon organizers in the process. They even broke with tradition by refusing to make him a member of the All-England Club.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nMandatory Credit: USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n1. Serena Williams<\/h3>\n The second of Williams’ tantrums on this list, this one is even worse than the previous. It occurred at the U.S Open in 2009 and was notoriously bad. After umpire Shino Tsuruchi called her for a foot fault on her second serve, Williams reacted with poisonous vitriol. “I’m going to shove this f***ing ball down your f***ing throat,”<\/em> she said. Needless to say, that’s not acceptable behavior.<\/p>\nMandatory Credit: USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTwo years later in the final of the U.S Open, she had another meltdown. This time she targeted Eva Asderaki after a code violation. “Really, don’t even look at me,” she said. “If you ever see me walking down the hall, walk the other way. Because you’re out of control. Totally out of control. You’re a hater, you’re unattractive inside. Who would do such a thing?”<\/em> Now Williams has a reputation.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everybody allows their emotions to get the better of them sometimes.
