[Tom E]

I'd love to be able to replay the fights using the replay system in Madden FootballYes, that way you could re-watch the 25-minute, 50-man Sox/Yankees brawl and watch slow-motion replays of all three actual punches that were thrown.

TiVo, my man. TiVo.

I hate baseball fights because they usually are just a bunch of grown men hugging each other on a field. There have been better fights in the NBA, although those fights do tend to suck almost as much.

Baseball fights are usually pointless. NBA fights are normally just as bad, but at least you get the comedy of watching 7-foot-6 guys try to throw punches and there's the added excitement that some foreign guy may go nuts and start kicking people.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Better fights in the NBA? The guys look like sissies, trying to throw punches (actually, they look more like they're trying to throw purses) while backpedaling. I'd rather watch Bea Arthur do Cinemax softcore.

[Tekneek]

Baseball fights are usually not even fights. Everybody runs out and finds someone to hug. At best, one or two punches are thrown and maybe somebody gets hit with a baseball. Then somebody throws an old man down and watches him roll around. The old man cries on ESPN later on. You'll see bigger fights at little league games than you'll see in MLB.

I like watching baseball players hug. :(

Basketball fights used to be better back in the day. (not even that far back in recent history). Remember Van Gundy running on the court? That was great!

If you can't appreciate a baseball fight, you've never been on the bottom of a pile during a baseball fight...Its brutal

I've been in about a dozen hockey fights.

No comparison. None.

You obviously have never heard of Chan Ho Park. ;)

Kleenex please.

If standing around pointing at each other why your teammates hold you back is considered fighting then baseball has THE best fights EVER. I've heard some say that the cat fights in the NBA are equally good, I guess... if that's your cup o' tea.

Personally I prefer fights in hockey where the actually serve a purpose (if you disagree with this GREAT, I'm not getting into that argument again) and people don't hold pety grudges like in the NBA and baseball.

[Maple Leafs]

You liar you can't skate.Neither can Donald Brashear, what's your point?

[cuervo72]

Bah. Just a bitter Leafs fan.

True story. Back in high school a fight broke out during a chess match. I have not idea why it started, but I do remember being told that a kid took a queen in the eye.

Akeem Olajuwon could throw a pretty nasty punch when he was younger. I'm afraid Hakeem Olajuwon was much more docile.

My cousin Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a plane to New Mexico when all of the sudden the hydraulics went. The plane started spinning around, going out of control, so he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the passengers are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of the sudden, *Snap* the hydraulics kick back in. The plane rights itself and it lands safely and everyone puts their pieces or, whatever, you know, away and deboard. No one mentions the phenomenon to anyone else.
