I for one appreciate sports fights
more so if it's not in hockey.

There was just a fight between Matt Light (Patriots) and Crowder (Dolphins) where Crowder lost his helmet and light had him by his hair and was tomahawk chopping the back of his head.

Both ejected.

Baseball brawls are good but basketball fights are the funniest.

1. So Crowder was suffering from Lightheadedness?
You seldom see good fights in volleyball or gymnastics, by the way.

2. I was cracking up at one that happened at a F1 race
There was obviously a crash, and the two drivers got out and confronted each other. One pushed the other, and then they started swinging. Both were connecting with lefts and rights. Really good head shots. Problem was, they both still had their full face race helmets on. What the hell is the point?

7. That's why football fights usually suck
This was good because one was missing his helmet.

3. Baseball fights are rarely worth much
They're usually two guys dancing and 60 beatboxing. :eyes:



But they get shit all riled up, so they're fun. :D

11. Robert Parish knocking out Bill Laimbeer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3tc7TXMBT8

Couldn't have happened to a better guy.

Dr. J vs. Bird was good too.

14. DOWN GOES SLEESTAK!! DOWN GOES SLEESTAK!
Edited on Sun Nov-23-08 07:02 PM by underpants
While in high school, Laimbeer appeared as a Sleestak in several episodes of the cult favorite Saturday morning television show, Land of the Lost.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Laimbeer

Notable on-court incidents

* Fought with Larry Bird during Game 3 of the 1987 NBA Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Detroit Pistons held at the Silverdome. Both Laimbeer and Bird were ejected.

* Was punched in the face by Robert Parish during Game 5 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals.

* Was punched in the face by Michael Jordan during Game 3 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Semifinals.

* Fought with Brad Daugherty in 1989. This incident led to a one-game suspension that ended Laimbeer's consecutive games-played streak at 685.

* Fought and wrestled with Charles Barkley during a regular-season game in 1990. Laimbeer and Barkley spoofed the incident in a cameo appearance in the 1991 comedy film Hot Shots!.

imdb has him listed as a Sleestak in 3 episodes under "Actor"

19. Even though it was a Mormon fight
it was pretty lame.

I wanted to see assault and battery with gold plates.
