Finally, Someone Fighting About Hockey

11.22.11 Written by Brandon

I think the guy providing color commentary for this fight says it all.

Background guy: UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! UHHHHHHHHHHHHH! UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

hockey-fightIf you need more information, this is a Montreal-area theatre troupe reenacting important scenes from American History X during Monday night’s Canadiens/Bruins game at the Bell Centre in Montreal, using Bruins fans in place of black people. It starts off like any YouTube fight video you’ve seen — two jerks ganging up to kick-punch a guy with no shirt, a white guy who doesn’t know how to distribute his body weight throwing all-arm punches — and escalates into a chaotic mass of security guards and flailing hoodies, all in the name of pro hockey loyalty. The fight continues in the comments section of YouTube, where “drunk fans acting stupid to each other” has turned into a full-scale, passive-aggressive America Versus Canada.

Maybe the person who stood in the background making cow noises had the right idea. Stay out of it.

Dolphins Fans Hurt Henne’s Feelings

12.28.10 Written by Burnsy

Miami Dolphins players and personnel are very upset with the team’s fans after they booed and shouted insults at quarterback Chad Henne as a result of Miami’s 34-27 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. With a 10-point lead in the 4th quarter, Henne threw two interceptions – the first set up a Dave Rayner field goal and the second was returned for the game-winning touchdown. And despite WR Devone Bess taking the blame for falling down on the second pick, Miami fans have focused their blame on Henne and coach Tony Sparano.

A few players felt the sorrow of the fans after the pathetic loss (Yeremiah Bell apologized to the fans for an awful season), but team mouthpiece and perennial underachiever Channing Crowder ain’t having none of it. You see, according to Crowder, fans aren’t allowed to boo their team. That kind of behavior isn’t welcomed in Miami sports…

‘Look Out For The Bull, Eh?’

11.15.10 Written by JOSH Z

It’s time for “This Week In Canadian Rodeo,” where an enterprising young bull named Rewind decided to stop taking crap from his superiors and actually do something with his life. And apparently the first step of his own personal renaissance involved trampling a handful of Canadians. Hey, I approve.

“The bull is finished as far as this rodeo is concerned,” said Dale Leschiutta, president and interim general manager of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association.[..]

“I look at the footage on TV and it seems like it happens real fast, but when you’re right there, it just seemed like it took forever,” witness Terri Croisetiere told the Journal. “Everybody was screaming and trying to get out of the way.”

Poor Rewind. It’s bad news when a bull can’t even find work in Canada. One woman did wind up going to the hospital, while several other spectators presumably made Canadian gravy in their pants. Is it bad that the only object of my empathy here is the bull? Seriously, when’s the last time anyone ever complained about “cruelty to Canadians?” Read the rest of this entry »

New York Giants Fans Fight In Stands [VIDEO]

11.15.10 Written by JOSH Z

The power went out during the Cowboys-Giants game yesterday, and since it was a 4 o’clock game in November and it’s pitch-black outside by 5:00, that was a problem. And yes, since most of the east coast is afraid of the dark, there was a fight that we happily deliver to you after the jump. Of course, my power usually goes out during the late games and I wind up falling asleep on the couch, but to be fair, I’m not trying to power an entire stadium.

Though the first blackout at 6pm ET caused some players to hit the ground — well, you can’t be too careful with those late hits, especially if you literally can’t see them coming — several light banks did remain lit, which only resulted in a three minute delay of game. [..]

But eight minutes later, the whole stadium went dark with all the lights going out. This delay took 10 minutes before there were enough lights available to play the game (and 10 minutes later, all lights were back on.) –TIME.

Oh, by the way, new Cowboys coach Jason Garrett won his head coaching debut and snapped the Giants’ five-game win streak. But what I really want to know is why is that shirtless guy in the screencap so pale? I thought everyone in New Jersey had really deep, un-natural tans. And where is Snooki? There’s no way that she would miss such a big division game, right? Read the rest of this entry »

ANOTHER Fight In The Stands? Way To Step It Up, New York

09.03.10 Written by JOSH Z

us open fight in stands

We have an encore for our Miami Hurricanes fight post, but this one is much more of a human story. A couple makes their way to a young tough hanging out with a chum, and then things slowly escalate. Yeah, I’d be upset if I had to watch live tennis too, but then the older gentleman decides to get rough and bites off a little more than his dentures can chew. This is why I’ll never watch tennis in person. It’s just way too dangerous.

Finally, Some Violence In Coral Gables

MIAMI U FIGHT

College football is underway, as are college football fights. Fights in the stands, much like the games these days, are best viewed from the opposite end of a camera-generated picture. I mean, sure, watching dude get tossed down 20 rows of seats live and in person is pretty sweet, but that’s not a draw by itself. Plus, this totally would have happened the second that you went to go pee. But really, I expected more from Dah U; all I can see is just a guy with his shirt off who runs in and kicks a white kid in the back. That’s dirty pool, sir. Read the rest of this entry »
