In today's episode of CEOs Gone Wild, Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg said some pretty bizarre things in an interview with the Financial Times, according to MacUser. Here's a sampling:

On Apple: "Steve Jobs eventually will get old... I like our chances."

On the iPhone's potential mass-market acceptance: "There goes the conspiracy again," he said in the interview. "You're declaring them a winner before they've earned it on the field."

Yeah, that's what it is—we're all in on this conspiracy, see, where Apple actually has a hit product on its hands, and since Verizon doesn't sell it, we want to stick it to them by pretending that the product is good when it isn't.
