03.30.07 GIGANTIC BRAWL HALTS ALL GREEK SPORTS
A huge brawl that left a man dead has led to Greece halting all team sports in the country for the next two weeks. What sexy sport incited the violence? Women's volleyball.
Witnesses say about 300 fans fought using clubs, knives and stones. Police detained 18 people during the violence, which Greek media reports suggested had been arranged by fans ahead of the match. The 25-year-old man who died had head injuries and stab wounds, doctors said…
"We had warned that this game was dangerous," the head of Greece's volleyball federation, Thanassis Beligratis, was quoted… as saying.
Oh, that's just like Thanassis to be there with an "I told you so." What a dick. Nobody likes Thinasses.
You can't blame the fans, though. If someone told me I was going to a women's volleyball match, and it turned out to be the kind of volleyball on a hardcourt instead of beach volleyball, you can bet your sweet A I'd cave someone's skull in.

GIGANTIC BRAWL HALTS ALL GREEK SPORTS
No love for the link? That’s like stealing my prom date, and then not complimenting me on her capabilities in the bedroom.
Gigantic brawl halts all Greek sports and that picture halts all Rob’s productivity.
“We were warned this game was dangerous,” This isn’t dangerous. THIS. IS. SPARTAAAAAAA!!!
Afer reviewing Withleather’s mission statement (”Welcome to With Leather. No quarter given, and none expected.”) I now realize that quarter’s are reserved for big breasted women. My apologies.
Hot pic, BTW.
Sexxxiest brawl ever?
“Thanassis Beligratis”? I’ll take ‘Obvious Greek Names’ for 200, Alex.
O’Dell — Sorry about that. I’ve been thrashing back and forth between here and WWTDD, so I’ve been missing some things. Shouldn’t bother you too much, though — I’ve heard you’re too busy fighting the ladies off.
No worries…you can just re-pay me like you pay the assistant editors. In hooch or in cooch, or both…because a little hooch can make a little cooch go a long ways.
Good work on WWTDD
You’re right, Matt. Nobody likes Thinassis. He must have a giant bug stuck up his…..well, probably not, if his name is any indication.
Not only did you miss the Greek connection with 300 (the movie), but you missed to connection that there were 300 fans fighting with clubs and knives. Though your work at WWTDD was great, come on, even Joe Theisman could’ve caught that joke…
about 10 years from now…
