Basebrawls are great when no one gets hurt. Yesterday’s Giants-Nationals throwdown—thanks to Hunter Strickland having a redder ass than a baboon—was a good one, with actual punches landed and enough flying hair to make you wonder if this wasn’t viral shampoo advertising. Let’s relive....
What's Hunter Strickland's Deal?

Folks, the NFL never sleeps.
