The Top 10 Fights in Professional Sports (Vol 1.)

Professional athletes are mad crazy and dumb as hell. They pay publicists six figures to tell them to thank God, and they still can't pull it off. They're human beings drunk on adrenaline, and if they didn't punch each other I'd be suspicious.

So here's a list of my favorite all-time sports fights. I love the lists, but I gotta give Hernandez a chance to throw down, so I'll limit it to my top three.

#3. Ron Artest jumps into the crowd and punches a fan.

We all know psychopaths. They feed off adrenaline and forget to take their meds, and bad stuff/good entertainment happens. When some dude from Detroit decided that death-row All-Star Ron Artest needed a beer across the face, Ronny jumped into the crowd and beat the shit out of anyone within arm's length.



#2. Kermit Washington punches the shit out of Rudy Tomjanovich.

I couldn't find video of this 1970s clip, but with one punch a guy named after a Muppet frog *lands* a guy and ends his career.

#1. Nolan Ryan beats the shit out of Robin Ventura.

Baseball is a sport for pussies with beer bellies, as the story goes. But one day, Nolan Ryan threw his 100-mph fastball right at Stanford grad Robin Ventura, and Robin decided he was a real man, and ran out to the mound. Nolan Ryan put him in a headlock and beat the living shit out of him. God bless Nolan Ryan.

Still looking for video...
