If you don't, you can see a clip here:

All or Nothing: Ron Rivera gives fiery speech to defense

A lot of us were surprised to see that because Rivera hardly ever gave off that kind of vibe.

Fast forward to today, and now there's this:

Ben Albright confirmed this is not a parody report. I looked up the source just to see, and...yeah.

Rivera's tirade was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this story.

Yes, it's a different sport, but it's still a professional sport, and I can't imagine the NBA locker rooms (or even the NCAA ones) are exactly obscenity free.

Also granted, I was always taught not to curse with ladies present. These days though, plenty of women use just as much foul language as any guy. And again, This is an adult professional competitive sports environment.

So does somebody need to sue Rivera now?

(no, not Panther fans) 😕

Looking at this as someone who got sworn at on a regular basis playing Pee Wee football, all I can say is boy, have things changed.

For better though, or worse? 🤔

You tell me...

Oh no!!!! A coach said a bad word!!!!

That was my initial reaction.

It was also Lady Cowboy Fan's first response. And I should be clear that, despite being a Cowboy fan, she never swears (not even at Jerry Jones).

But I'm not sure if that would be everybody's opinion 🤔

Rivera was known to be fiery among the players. There have been mentions of this by players. He was good at keeping it among them.

I think Rivera could've been an all time great HC if he were like 20-30 years older. Dude's defensive mind was legit and he was a hell of a leader, but he couldn't adjust and adapt to the modern game.

Rivera should be sued for gross misuse of generational talent like Cam and Luke. 

No, Getelmen should be launched into the sun for doing nothing to keep Grose or making any effort at all to replace him..it was his insistence that our o line was fine that got Cam hit way to many times and shortened his career....who knows how long he could have played with half decent protection....and let's not forget the receivers he drafted...funches and Benjamin...one of those guys lazy rout running led to Cams first serious sholder injury

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think Ransom will be a solid player for us.  He played beside Caleb Downs, the cornerstone of the Ohio State defense last year and some have him as a top 5 pick for the 2026 draft.  He was characterized as the smart, instinctive, versatile safety.   I just don't think S will be a liability unless we have injuries.  I am very interested in seeing what they have in the three UDFA safeties; I see one making the roster. As for CB, I think they are higher on Wade-Smith than most of us are. Again, depth is a concern.  We have to hope Jackson has another solid season and Horn does not injure his leg or toe on one of the yard lines.   I am not sure I would compare it to last season's DL because this year's DL will cover a lot of deficiencies, but I know what you mean---our weak link.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      Lol.  Now you make me defend DG. We had the best IOL in the league under DG and Oher looked solid until he got that bad concussion. DG drafted Moton and Daryl Williams as well. The OL fell apart under Hurney 2.0 and Fitterer. DG also drafted Star and Short. Sorry, but that was all in 5 drafts so let’s not make stuff up about not trying to improve hog mollies. Gettleman did a ton wrong and took the wrong guys, but he and Rivera had a deep and talented team and it got blown up really quickly. Also, I love Cam but he wasn’t the best QB in the league. He had the best year in 2015 but he wasn’t Brady. I think Dan has had a solid offseason, way better than last year but I’m not putting on rose colored glasses until we actually have a 10 win season. Again, Dave and Ron had 3 10+ wins seasons out of 5.

      Yeah I wont often comment on a coddled generation and participation trophies but this sort of begs for it. Also how did an athlete achieve at that level without getting a thicker skin?
