The Grand Rapids Griffins and Rockford Ice Hogs had a bench-clearing AHL brawl for the ages, and it’s easily the best hockey fight you’ll ever see featuring a dozen dudes in pink sweaters. (via The Detroit Sports Site)

The YouTube description for this video only gives you the basics:

Minnesota Wilderness and Thunder Bay North Stars square off.

Those team names are adorable. They’re like somebody made an SNES NHL game and couldn’t get the licensing rights to the teams, so they came up with ersatz clubs like the “Thunder Bay North Stars.”

Anyway, what the YouTube description leaves out are the wonderful details … the goalie’s existential reaction, the inevitable goalie fight (goalie fights are always the best) and the fact that midway through, for no possible reason, ‘Party In The USA’ by Miley Cyrus starts playing. Nothing says “SIJHL line brawl” quite the ballad of a girl being judged by her shoes!

If pro hockey wants to eliminate fighting, they should just stock up on Now That’s What I Call Music CDs and blare them whenever punches are thrown. I know I’d never want to start a fight if I knew ‘Tonight (I’m F**kin’ You)’ by Enrique Iglesias was gonna kick in and make me look like a creep.

From time to time, sports mascots will “fight.” It’s usually in the form of the Phillie Phanatic taking big, Curly-from-The-Three-Stooges wind-ups and knocking out a Mr. Met lookalike or whoever, and it’s all in good fun. When one of the mascots shows up to the comedy fight trying to dropkick the other, it becomes a for-real living Muppet shootfight.

Yet that’s precisely what rabid prep basketball fans in Kentucky received on Tuesday night, when Louisville’s crosstown rivalry between Louisville (Kent.) Male High and Louisville (Kent.) DuPont Manual High devolved into a massive brouhaha between the two teams’ mascots. (via Prep Rally)

As you can see from the video after the jump (forgive the vertical video syndrome and the guy getting so into the fight that he just films the armpits of the people around him), the ram mascot figures out the combination to the bulldog’s throwdown vault, and the two pretty much hockey fight. You can only hurt the other guy so much when you’re haymakering a big foam head, but they’re really going at it.

The NHL All-Star Game is going to be axed in the next batch of canceled games, so let’s forget we heard about that and enjoy this SPHL mascot fight between Maverick of the Pensacola Ice Flyers and Kazoo of the Kazoo Blue Wahoos. Yes, that other thing never happened. (via Puck Headlines)

If two Canadian Intermediate A lacrosse teams get into a bench-clearing brawl and nobody’s there to see it, did it really happen?

Yes. Yes it did.

Several players started fighting after Coquitlam scored to take a 15-4 lead. As the officials tried to settle everyone down, more players got involved and both benches eventually cleared.

The game was called with 47 seconds left in the period.

Josh Aldrich of the Nanaimo Daily News reported that B.C. Intermediate A Lacrosse League commissioner Gene Regier handed down 15 suspensions, but he did not reveal who or how long the suspensions were. (via Content Farm)

“…because he’d never heard of anyone on either team.”

The best way to watch this clip is to pretend the only five people in the crowd are the cast of ‘Bob’s Burgers’. That “oh my goaddd” at the 0:54 mark is absolutely Linda Belcher, and the loud “ENOUGH, GUYS” at 1:11 is a pretty convincing H. Jon Benjamin. Random screeching female throughout is just Louise, egging them on. Suddenly this is the best (and most underrated) lacrosse fight video ever.

I’d like to preface this story by saying I’m a diehard Cleveland Indians fan. I’ve been to Yankee Stadium to watch the Tribe play, and when I went I wore my C hat and my jersey with a big red “INDIANS” across the front. When the Tribe scored, I cheered. When the Yankees scored, I booed. At no point was beer thrown on me, and at no point was I kicked in the face and knocked over multiple rows of steps.

Here’s my theory: I am not a dumb asshole. Also, I like a team that never wins.

Per the fine cats at Deadspin:

Things heat up around the 1:15 mark when alleged Red Sox fan punches someone and a regular slobber knocker ensues. Alleged Red Sox fan clearly got the worst of it as she took a boot to the face and tumbled back over the seats. Tipster Dave informs us that Alleged Red Sox fan was taking abuse most of the day and eventually had enough. This is the result.

Please enjoy that result, which lands somewhere between “tandem skydiving” and “being elbow-deep in Kate Upton” on the list of great (and somehow horrible) moments of which I’ll never be a part:
