@KarlosTheKiwi: The only dickhead i see in this video is Dennis conner, Its obvious you`ve forgotten what that fat fuck said to Chris Dickson in front off the entire world press, I don`t think theres a vein in my body that has nothing but absolute hatred for this mongrel of a human being!!!.
I remember seeing a billboard ad in Auckland advertising elastoplast band-aids. It had a portrait of connor's face with a band-aid sealing his lips together. The quote on the bill-board said "Healing the wounds of our nation". LOL!
Hardly worth the eight minutes it took to watch this. I was led to believe there would be major gaffes in this clip, and apart from 'Paul' being an idiot, there was nothing remarkable about it.
That's not the video's fault, though, I suppose. It was the fault of the page that linked me here.
@carleeeee Yes, good on you carleeee, Paul Holmes is the biggest cock ever. Dennis is a sportsman and responded to Pauls verbal onslaught regarding his verbal actions. What viewers do not see is the finish of this video. Paul has a pause with a smug smart alec facial expression after Dennis leaves the studio. Im disappointed with Dennis` actions at the regatta but Paul is a complete embarrasment to all of us proud Kiwis.
@reuben81343 Yeah mate. Im pretty suspect of this turd. When no one else is at his house, and when his dog is sniffing the cats arse, I bet hes perving at the action and playing with his wanger. He probably cums pretty quickly too, then licks it up afterwards.
Conner was a great sailor. But no one put a gun to his head and MADE him sail a cat, an obvious unfair advantage. OTOH it wasn't against the rules, it was ahead of it's time so there really wasn't anything to apologize for other than his bad attitude and his big mouth.
Don't like the interviewer at all. Looks like he sprage that footage on him.?????Connor's is n arsehole.... Loved watching his face in those interviews post 83. Amercians cup has never carried the same aura since the Cat Fiasco
HTF up dickheads! Yes DC was prob drunk as usual, but he's spent every frickn dollar into his love and sport and deserves to have his unhappiness despite what anyone says. He really did help promote the sport more than anyone in the 80's and that''s when my interest began. DC is still racing out of SDYC with both S&S's so shaddup! If you want to see him he can usually be found racing his Farr 60 in So Cal, and drunker than snot & unable to converse at Fiddler's On The Green alot of eveings!
I'm an avid sailing fan and have l loved to hate Dennis for years, but he was great for the sport. And Paul showed his utter lack of manners and class in this interview. Dennis was obviously apologetic and regretful but couldn't say the words. Shame on Paul for going after him so crudely. History has shown Dennis Conner to be gentleman and great ambassador for the sport. And it has shown Paul Homles to be an arrogant and small man.
Nothing wrong with the interview. Im not a Holmes fan but he conducted himself with integrety. Conner on the other hand is an arrogant wanker. How bloody hard is it to apologise???? Obviously for that idiot. Pity his wife if he has one.
Nothing wrong with the interview? are you blind? I can't think of a single thing RIGHT about the interview. Holmes doesn't know the meaning of integrity. This interview is typical of the sorts of mickey mouse things that sometimes embarrass me to be from NZ. What on earth would Conner have to apologise for?
by the way, paul holmes is a travesty of a journalist and i could not have been happier when he was finally, belatedly, taken off the air a few years ago.
uhuh i raced against him in a j boat he was in a beneteau, didn't know really know much about him until the night before the race at oceanside yacht club. he beat us by about 5 minutes race from oceanside to southwestern yc in sandiego...my name is james conner what a coincidence
haha, you got bossed by gordon ramsay. call him a pom, fucking ozzys, always think your right. U just hate everyone because your decended from a bunch of convicts.
bossed? who the fuck says shit like that? only a pom would say bossed. Seriously think about it for a second, it doesn't really make sense now does it
verb [vn] ~ sb (about / around) to tell sb what to do in an aggressive and/or annoying way: I'm sick of you bossing me around! there you go, look it up, good day mate.
Yeah! Descended from a bunch of convicts alright; and proud of it! To think the Brits used to send us out here for punishment! HA! The joke is on them now as everybody, including 1000 Kiwis a week want to come and live here as the place is the best. And look what we do to NZ sporting teams, And aren't the NZ Warriors doing well in the NRL? (as of June 2008 they were second last)! Don't you just love Kiwis with inferiority complexes?
Yet another idiot and peice of trailer trash who doesn't know how to express themselves in a public place. You call just scraping into the Top 8 an acheivement? As I said previously, "as of June 2008 they were second last". Like yourself; a bunch of losers.

least we built a boat that was made to win and win it did and successfully defended the Americas Cup, not one that sank and u poor aussies couldnt swim to shore amongst a few sharks. stop ur whining!!
You idiot! You really do have an inferiority complex don't you? Ask yourself; why is it that 1000 of your fellow countrymen are abandoning NZ each and every week to come to Australia if NZ is that superior? (Report in yesterday's NZ Herald 28Feb09). Dickhead! Go crawl back in your hole!
funny video, but even though I am an Aussie who watched with an aching heart in 1987 as he thrashed our Kookaburra III, I think I have to agree with rossmclockness - the big boat challenge was the worst thing for the america's cup and the SDYC was right to do what they did, as the courts later agreed. Renegade challenges should not be allowed, that goes for Golden Gate yacht club too!
Dennis Conner, what a piece of work, or shit as I remember drove him from the San Diego Yacht Club to the San Diego Airport. I hauled all his luggage from the club and into the airport for a fare of $5.80. He handed me a $5 and a $1, and held his hand out for the 20 cents. This was between '86 and '87, when he won the America's Cup. As a human, he's a real piece of SHIT, as this video shows. I'll tell all of this, verbatim, to anyone willing to expose him for what he is.
Complete drivel. Conner did will confronted with an attack so biased that it borders on the ludicrous. The fact that Fay trid to underhandedly steal the cup with a challenge that he knew could not possibly be met given the time frame was never considerd by this twat. Fay's strict interpretation of a widely understood to be dated deed of gift was met with an equally strict interpretation by SDYC and the Sail America Foundation. Good on them for meeting lunacy eye to eye.
Thats just wrong man. Ok Conner wasn't the greatest but when did Holmes ever enbarrass a NZ sportsman? what a moron ........thank goodness his career is over dick head
Connor could easily appoligize for calling other people names, or explain himself, but instead he chooses to leave the studio. Seems to me like someone who got caught cheating and is running away. Paul Holmes is fair all the way through the interview. If directness is called arrogance, and the result is a tv, where noone asks direct questions, I'm not interested to watch.
I remember this; it was from 1989. Conner handled it like the class act he is, which is something a third-rate "gotcha" journalist like Holmes couldn't begin to touch.
