We don't know the particulars of this fight, which went down Monday night during the Chargers' win in Oakland.

"Drunk 9/11 Hippie Girl" Pays Tribute With Body Paint, Foam Finger (UPDATE)
Every American offered remembrance to 9/11 in their own way. For many people, that was done in ways personal and private.

Another Giants-Dodgers Series, Another Fan Assault
Despite the heightened police presence at AT&T Park, a regular measure since Bryan Stow was beaten into a coma in Los Angeles last year, there was another incident over the weekend.

Everyone On Twitter Was Confused About Why Willis McGahee Didn't Say "The U" In His Player Intro Last Night
During Sunday Night Football, something weird happened. It wasn't that the quarterback with the misbehaving cervical vertebrae threw for 253 yards with two touchdowns and only seven incompletions, and it wasn't that the Steelers still hadn't learned how to cover Demaryius Thomas. Both of those eve...
Note To Coaches: Saying Your Students Wear A Rival's Colors Because "They Couldn't Get Into" That School Is Not A Good Idea
Western Kentucky's gearing up for a big football game at cross-state rival Kentucky this weekend. Part of the festivities: Hilltoppers players are carrying footballs around campus, and if any fans can steal the ball and bring it to coach, they'll get to travel with the team. (This is a recipe for fu...
Jets And Bills Fans Greet The Season By Brawling In The Stands
Fans of the old AFC East rivals chose to renew their own rivalry in the upper reaches of MetLife Stadium on Sunday, and the rout was on around the 32-second mark, when the meathead in the black tanktop took a swipe at the (male? female?) Bills fan who appeared to be arguing with someone else....

Here's An Arkansas Fan Wearing A Bizarre Hog Costume Singing Her Own Razorbacks Version Of "United We Stand"
Look, things ain't great in Fayetteville. Their previous coach was run out of town after suffering an unfortunate mid-life crisis, the new interim coach just filed for bankruptcy, and they lost on Saturday despite being 30-point favorites....
Look At This Asshole Yelling In Some Guy's Face Because He Wouldn't Sit Down At A Soccer Game
Apparently at Seattle Sounders games some people stand up the entire time as a show of support. That's cool, I guess. I'd prefer to sit in the seat for which I've paid, but to each his own. Some find it annoying because of the whole "better door than window" thing. I am also capable of understandi...
Two Different High School Football Games Ended In Fans Fleeing The Stands Because Of Violence
In Chicago, either a stabbing or a shooting (details are still sketchy) at Simeon vs. Morgan Park High School; in Naples, Florida, players from Immokalee went into the stands to deal with some persistent hecklers after a loss to Naples High....
Lions Fan Named Shawn Payton Sentenced For Calling In Superdome Bomb Threats During Playoffs
Back in January, Detroit's return to the playoffs was a bit of a thud, getting blown out in the second half by the once-and-future dome offense in New Orleans.

Fan Drops Two Foul Balls At White Sox Game
The closest I've ever come to catching a foul ball was in Seattle, at the Kingdome. I was sitting dead center behind home plate, about halfway up in the upper deck. The Mariners hitter had his timing right, but just got under it, sending the ball rocketing directly towards our section. A fan maybe f...
Yep, That's A Big Old "Fuck Y'All I'm From Texas" T-Shirt On The NFL Network
Just less than three hours until the Cowboys and Giants kick off the NFL season, which means the NFL Network's only got three more hours to give us Mike Mayock and LaDainian Tomlinson yammering away, live from a North Jersey parking lot. But take note of that dude in the background, the one who happ...
Brandon McCarthy Took A Line Drive Right Above The Ear
It has not been the smoothest of 2012s for Brandon McCarthy, the talented Oakland starter. After a number of injury-plagued seasons, McCarthy began the year as the Athletics' opening day starter, only to hit the DL with a shoulder strain in May. A June return proved too soon, and he went on the DL a...
PNC Park Rings With Ric Flair "WOOO"s As Pirates Fans Liven Up Game With Impromptu Nature Boy Calls
If you were watching last night's rain-delayed Astros-Pirates game from Pittsburgh, you may have noticed an odd series of noises coming from the crowd during the middle innings. Pirates broadcaster Root Sports certainly did, and it took them awhile to actually identify what was going on. Reader A...
