Football Coach Teaches Lessons about Life, the Media, and Unrestrained Rage: "I'm a Man—I'm 40!"

Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy has already captured the 2007 season's award for best "post-game hissy fit." After Saturday's victory over Texas Tech, Gundy went on an unintentionally hilarious rant inspired by a Daily Oklahoman column about his benched quarterback, screaming at an audience that society today is sick, that the news media makes him want to puke, that no one dast criticize amateur athletes, and that if sportswriters want to go after somebody, they should go after him because, he averred, among other things, "I'm a man--I'm 40!"

All told, it's the most mesmerizing video since Britney Spear's catatonic shimmy-shake at the Video Music Awards. Watch it and take the rest of the day off, because you'll be laughing too much to get much work done[*]:
