The "Vince McMahon's Thuggery" post in that thread made me think of one of my favorite outraged sports commentator moments when a hard foul from the Heat to the Hawks accused the Heat of resorting to thuggery and the "street stuff."
Here's a compilation of a few of my favorites: Hawk Harrelson of the White Sox yelling at umpire Mark Wegner, The Timberwolves guy going "DOH ED MALLOY!" at an NBA official missing a call, the above-mentioned Heat resorting to thuggery, and some college commentator (I think for Florida Atlantic?) banging on the glass of his booth and challenging people to fights.

Does the "I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run" count?

In 2007 the Oschersleben circuit made modifications to its layout, most notably turning its sweeping opening section into a sharp left handed. After an inevitable pileup at the WTCC event commentator and touring car legend John Cleland was outspoken in his opinion on the changes.

Not angry, but certainly crazy. In 1981, the England football team played a Norway team that was considered by the British press to be little more than cannon fodder. When Norway won 1-0, local commentator Bjørge Lillelien started listing every famous English person he could think of:
"Lord Nelson! Lord Beaverbrook! Sir Winston Churchill! Sir Anthony Eden! Clement Attlee! Henry Cooper! Lady Diana! vi har slått dem alle sammen, vi har slått dem alle sammen! (we have beaten them all, we have beaten them all!). Maggie Thatcher, can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher ... your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!"
Absolutely tremendous stuff. Henry Cooper has never been in such esteemed company...

Paul Allen the homer KFAN Vikings Announcer has a bunch of them. For as much as a superhomer he is, the dude just rips the team to shreds when something bad happens. He's a treasure.
I love it when he just says "f it" and talks like a crazy fan at a bar watching the game.

When he blasted Favre for the interception in that NFC title game (was it against the Saints??).... brilliant!

Not during a game, but Chris "Mad Dog" Russo once had a long ass rant about the NFL not doing enough to punish Pacman Jones.
Some impersonated it, and it's basically perfect.

I wanted to go to the IWA-Mid-South show but my wife said no. So I'm watching the White Sox in Montreal on TV. This was in 2004, when they could not find a 5th starter worth a shit. (This was the year Jerry Reinsdorf's season-ending speech was simply "You guys are stealing money." and left, according to Mark Buerhle's recollection.) His name was Arnie Muñoz, and he was serving up batting practice. He pitched 3 innings, gave up 11 Runs (10 ER)...9 in the 2nd inning. Hawk and Darrin Jackson are yelling at each other over: DJ: "Why are they not pulling him?!?" Hawk: "Because he needs to figure out how to get out of this!"
I have never felt so uncomfortable watching a game. I swear these two were at the point where somebody was gonna step in and separate them.
(Weirdly enough, an 11-1 deficit by the Sox turned into a 17-14 loss. So they did fight back, just not with Arnie.)

Hawk loving Tony LaRussa going ape-shit on the umpires, getting the ziggy (thrown out), then ripping up 3rd base and tossing it as Ken cheers "Atta boy, Tony!"
Crazy has to be when the Bears had a FOUR-MAN BOOTH for radio broadcasts in the 80s onto the 90s. Love how the think tank at WBBM would never expect three guys to step all over each other on calling a game, not to mention the only time you'd hear Dick Butkus was on a "FUMBLE...BALL!"

Green Bay's crew never gets crazy but you can tell when they're pissed. Like when the Packers had a miracle comebck against Arizona in the Divisional round in 2016 only for the first offensive play in overtime to be literally nobody covering Larry Fitzgerald and he almost scores on the very first play and Larry McCarren just goes, mid-play, "THIS is how it ends?"
Couple of the recent UFC Fight Nights have had some rage too, like Daniel Cormier losing his shit on a horrendous split decision that started the Kansas City card and Bobby Green accidentally headbutting Jared Gordon a week or two later and seemingly winning by TKO and Dominick Cruz and Paul Felder are screaming at each other about the ref.
