  2. The part in the hockey fight about 1:25 into the movie (when the camera zooms out for the first time) was great. I loved how there were three different fights going on all over the ice. The kick in the chest in the baseball fight was good, too. I like how he had no idea who to fight once he got to the pitcher's mound.

  3. i absolutely love the Zidane headbutt!!! soccer is an amazing sport as it is, and when an angry frenchman headbutts that guy in the chest for what seems like no apparent reason is pretty much awsome :D

    thanks for the laugh!!!

  12. I'm gonna have to second Ben. As awesome as hockey and baseball and mascot fights are, the Zidane headbutt was out of control. It just made you go "WHAT DID I JUST SEE??!?!"

    ReplyDelete
  13. Classic videos my friend! Those are ridiculous! I'm going to have to agree with everyone above me, the Zidance headbutt was unbelievable!

    ReplyDelete

  15. If Chief Illiniwek was in a fight with the duck, Chief would dominate!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wow. That duck mascot totally owned the other poor guy. Nice videos.

  17. i believe the proper terminology for the baseball players kick into the catcher's chest would be a "burning foot sidekick". thats at least what its called in the art of Jeet Kune Do. thats by far my favorite clip!

  18. We americans love our fighting... especially hockey fights... if a fight doesn't break out, we root for it until it does. If a fight never happens in the game, we leave the game somewhat upset.

  19. soccer + hockey = best sports because they have the best fights. done.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hockey fights are amazing! Totally beat all of the other sports! (no pun intended)

  21. I really wish I were as cool as Zidane was. Getting suspended for probably the most important game he will ever play in his life. Ruining his team's chances for a World Cup victory... oh how cool he really is.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Dude, the baseball vid is one of my all time favorites. I heart leprechauns! n00b!

    ReplyDelete
  23. the original commentator of the italy v. france game said: "[zidane] leaves football in disgrace." i completely disagree -- he left with much as a win. one of my all-time fav moments in football/soccer!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I can't believe that baseball player kicked the catcher LMAO.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ever since watching Zidane I've been working on my own rib breaking head butt

    ReplyDelete
  26. hahaha oh my funny :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. good work dude, the whole blog is nice. I had never seen the baseball video, which is now a classic in my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  28. i want zidane to give me a birthday cake

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hahaha!! Those are great!
    Hockey fights are CLASSIC.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Ha I love Hockey Fights. I remember my first Blackhawks game was preseason against St. Louis. Hawks won 9-4 and there were four players ejected for fighting. It was everything you could ask for in a hockey game.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I find it interesting that there are some sports where fighting is against the rules but tolerated to some extent for its entertainment value and others that consist solely of fighting, such as boxing. Do we just like watching people beat the crap out of each other so much that it's in a sport's interest to have some fighting going on regardless of the game's actual rules?

    ReplyDelete
  32. no matter what sporting event whether it be baseball, soccer, hockey or football, the crowds come running for a good fight.

    as we look back on these selected events, are the final scores or good plays remembered...? HELL NO. it's all about the fights baby :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Great question Christopher. I think it is in the interest. Except for when you get mascots fighting. That's just random and sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  34. yo have you seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH_0M8Nw2CI i thinik you showed me a long time ago but whatevs lol

    ReplyDelete
  35. I love it when I go to a fight and a hockey game breaks out

    ReplyDelete
  36. There is nothing scarier than a crotch slam from a 6'6" duck without pants... Nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love how people go crazy during sports games! I can't believe a batter would attack the catcher and try to take on an entire team. Crazy!

    ReplyDelete
  38. aaahaha!! i really didnt think that duck had it in him.. he totally just put the beat down on that cougar-ish thing

    ReplyDelete
  39. hockey + fighting = amazing

    ReplyDelete
  40. yeah id say I'm most impressed by the duck fight, cuz you didn't know if they were joking or not at first and that lady tries to break it up, good stuff
