If Posty is on board with this, this could be the 1st thing the entire geek club agrees on?

On board with what? Agreeing on the speech or making one cry?

[Gladiators 1,904]

Agreed. I watch it every year during Jimmy V week. Then I have to kill a bunch of kittens to make me feel like a man again.

I always think, I'm good, I can watch it and not cry this time...

 

Nope, tearing up like a focking woman every time...

both, but more so the speech itself.

 

if you can watch this and not cry, you're not human and probably love to make threads about dead babies

It is a good speech, but definitely not the greatest... I don't recall crying either when I first saw it...

I'm trying to think what would make you cry. A child being born maybe?

Admit it - this one did.

There are many speeches better than this one...

 

MLK "I have a dream"

JFK "Inauguration Address”

Reagan "Challenger Address"

FDR "First Inauguration Address"

Lincoln "Gettysburg Address"

Patrick Henry "Give me liberty or give me death"

 

Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt probably had a lot of ones as well...

[Gepetto 985]

I don't think it's that great.

[Mungwater 588]

Considering the thread starter, I was sure it was the "I love my dead gay son!" Scene from heathers

Not sure what you're trying to say here.

 

I'm not even sure I like your tone

I don't either

[mobb_deep 917]

Not quite "I Have a Dream" or "There is Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself" great, but definitely up there...

Wasn't alive, didn't see it or hear it, don't care. 0 impact on me.

Love me some Jimmy V but this one might be better:

That really has no relevance, when you're talking about the "Greatest Of All Time".

edjr doesnt recognize anything that happened prior to 1981.

Safe to say these were not originals like Valvano's......paid speech writers and others contributed to their being - which takes away from them (imo).

Yes. you can have your opinion and you posted it.

 

It isn't the same as mine.

 

I didn't make any rules for opinions.

 

Was explaining why I believe Valvano's to be the GOAT

[edjr 5,563]

edjr doesnt recognize anything that happened prior to 1981.

 

75 world series

 

78 penant

 

Holocaust

 

World War 2

Boring. Just like cheating Valvanos speech.

Another Welch.
