"I don't want to blame anyone except myself. I was the one who trusted some players but they didn't execute well and didn't play well."
Lithuanian Coach Antanas Sirieka, after Turkey's 76-74 victory over Lithuania

I'd love to see this guy coach T.O.
I know it's a different sport, but still, you've got to love this quote:

Two of my personal favorites come from the same man:
We couldn’t do diddley-poo offensively. We couldn’t make a first down. We didn’t run the ball. We didn’t try to run the ball. We couldn’t complete a pass. We sucked. We sucked. It was a horsesass performance in the second half. Horsesass. I’m totally embarrassed, and I’m totally ashamed. We got our ass kicked in the second half. It sucked. It stunk. Cuz they just blocked better, were more tougher, more physical, coached better, did everything better. We sucked.

and...
Let me start out saying this: Do NOT blame that game on the defense, OK? I don’t care who you play, whether it’s a high school team, a junior college team, a college team, much less an NFL team, when you turn the ball over five times . . . you ain’t gonna beat anybody. That was a disgraceful performance. . . . We gave it away. We gave them the frigging game. In my opinion, that sucked. You can’t turn it over five times. Holy crap. I don’t know who the hell we think we are when we do something like that . . . We’ve thrown five interceptions returned for touchdowns. That might be a league record. And we’ve still got six games left, so there’s no telling how many we’ll have. I mean, it’s absolutely pitiful to play like that . . . Horrible. Just horrible. Horrible.

He's the best...
I'm confused. Does "diddley-poo" grade out above "horseass" but below "suck," or is it one rung above "pitiful" but below "stunk"
