Houston Dynamo players Tyler Deric and Warren Creavalle were arrested this weekend after a dust-up with an off-duty cop working security at a bar. From Deric's attorney: "Mr. Deric was with other soccer players, some who were African-Americans. The club did not want them coming in . . . He's not guilty of assaulting that off-duty officer."

Oh, this poor, poor Canadian chappie. He's 34. He calls out a kid with a Mohawk because "we used to shave our heads." Then, he confronts brochacho wearing sunglasses at night in homage to Corey Hart, more likely than not. He then pulls the surrogate-father line of meddlin'. More »

A few things can be taken from this fisticuffs festival outside a Jack-in-the-Box somewhere out there. ALWAYS guard yourself after you land a shot, especially if your foe has already landed at least three to your dome. NEVER hit a man when he's down. And YES, there are still Jack-in-the-Box eateries out there (2,200 in 19 states? Egads). More »

I'll admit professional lacrosse is a sport beyond my professional purview, so I didn't even know they had hockey-style fights. Last night's season-opener between Rochester and Philadelphia ended with a real rumbler, though, even bringing the goalies out for fisticuffs. In the end, the fight lasted about five minutes at the end of a 22-12 Rochester win. [CSN Philly, WCAU, and this YouTube] More »

I know not where in Hollywood, Cal. this huge brawl featuring "guys hitting girls, girls hitting guys, girl on girl, guy on guy - it was absolute chaos" went down.

The resulting fight in Tempe wasn't on the scale of the one between Xavier and Cincinnati last week, but the punch that sparked it is so brutally dirty it's almost a work of art. After getting a forearm to the jaw from USM's Torye Pelham, ASU's Muscovite center Ruslan Pateev returns the favor with a shot to the back of Pelham's head. Both were ejected, and USM went on to win with a buzzer-beating three-pointer. More »

Last Friday evening, two Boston-area youth hockey teams got together for their own Winter Classic, to be held outside at the Anderson Rink in Brookline. It was going to be a good time: an exhibition game between the Boch Blazers and the Boston Junior Blackhawks, followed by a family skate and a pizza party. (Each parent was to chip in $5-$10 dollars for the pizza.) It reportedly ended with TV analyst Mike Milbury getting involved with an on-ice fight between his son and an opposing player, grabbing and shaking that 12-year-old and screaming in his face. More »

Making the rounds today is this pro-quality brawl between two Kazakhstani U10 teams.

Montreal is very much the Boston of Canada, if you replace "wants to be Irish" with "wants to be French." So the Canadiens and Bruins rivalry, which has gotten extra-chippy recently, is an opportunity for the rest of the NHL to stand back and say "let's hope there are no survivors." More »

In AC MIlan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic's new autobiography, he describes his 2010 brawl with Oguchi Onyewu. Ibrahimovic may have a black belt in taekwondo, but Onyewu has a black belt in hurting Swedes: "[T]he two players 'wanted to destroy each other,'... 'I'm not talking about a small row,' Ibrahimovic writes. 'It was like life and death.' ... [I]t was only later that Ibrahimovic found out that he had a broken rib. [The Washington Post] More »

So this is a match between Romanian clubs Petrolul Ploiești and Steaua București, in which Petrolul is losing to visiting Steaua 0-2. A Petrolul supporter invades the pitch and suckerpunches Steaua defender George Galamaz, an act that earned the rogue fan a brutal beatdown by Galamaz' teammates. Two of those teammates earned red cards for the lesson they taught, including Steaua goalkeeper Răzvan Stanca. More »

What we have here is a pair of efficient slobberknockers between NRL sides Melbourne and (appropriately-named) Manly. Injuries, ejections and suspensions galore, and we're instinctively tempted to say this contains more excitement and outright violence that anything we're used to seeing in American sports. But is that true? More »

We were sent this image purporting to be of the good samaritan, returning from Marine Corps training, who rushed to break up a Baton Rouge bar fight and ended up getting pummeled by at least four LSU players. We've been unable to confirm—the cops have instituted a media blackout, to the extent that they can in a college town when the college's stars are involved. But the EXIF data in the photograph, and the East Boyd Plaza sign in the background place it in the right time and place: the parking lot of Shady's Bar, early Friday morning. It's no surprise, then, that LSU has enlisted one of the most powerful lawyers in the state. More »

The Lakers and the Mavs kept things interesting in one of the most under-scheduled nights of the NBA season last night: five players were ejected after a shoving match that began with Jason Terry and Steve Blake. The refs sent out two players from each team (Dallas's Terry and Brendan Haywood and Los Angeles's Blake and Matt Barnes) for this one, and Shannon Brown was ejected later in the game for his own special unique shoving incident. Things got a little bit out of hand: at the end of the first half-brawl, as Lamar Odom prepared for his second free throw, a fan apparently attempted to run onto the court and was quickly (almost frighteningly quickly) herded out by the ushers. "What is going on here?" asked a tired Reggie Miller. But this is progress, really: Ron Artest did not shove a soul in the Lakers' 110-82 win. More »

NEWARK — The fights Saturday night were in Newark. Not in the actual stadium, the Prudential Center, but next door, in a big, boxy, white warehouse where the New Jersey Devils practice. The ice rink was covered with a green, turf-like carpet that wasn't quite sized properly, resulting in large carpet waves that presented a serious tripping hazard. The atmosphere wasn't "international title fight" so much as "high school JV basketball game." More »
