A Brawl Broke Out In Chicago

Watch Jarius Wright Make A Catch That Defines Ridiculous
There really are no words to describe Arkansas Razorback Jarius Wright's catch in the first half tonight against Tennessee, except "concentration." Even though he can't even see the ball for half of the play, he seems to know exactly where it is and how to come down with it cleanly. This is sick....
There's More Action In 3:53 Of Tuscaloosa Tailgate Brawling Than In The Alabama/LSU Game It Preceded
A little late to the game with this week's Fights and/or Boobs inbrawlment, but hell, Alabama/LSU was the Game of the Century, and it's worth taking our collective minds off Jerry Sandusky for a spell, right?...
Meet Tennessee's Emergency Kicker, Who Was Sitting On A Frat Couch, Possibly Drunk, An Hour Before Kicking In The Game
SEC football's a big thing, but the Tennessee Volunteers really aren't. (Opportunity is nowhere, and all of that.) And the Vols especially aren't a big thing when they're playing out-of-conference, like they were last Saturday, against the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. Tennessee won, but only...
Twitter-Obsessed Soccer Player Gives Child Very Unfortunate Name
Gabriel Zakuani is a Congolese defender for Peterborough, who had a cup of coffee at the top level but couldn't quite cut it. But he's given his son a name as stupid as any Premier leaguer's child....
Stephon Marbury Has An Opinion About Michael Jordan And The Lockout That Makes Perfect Sense
Michael Jordan has taken a lot of grief since he emerged, in a twist that should surprise nobody, as the leader of a group of hard-ass NBA owners knifing away at the revenue pie. Now he's taking grief from whatever fun-house PC bang Stephon Marbury has decamped to these days. I'll leave the parsing ...
A Sampling Of Comments ESPN.com Has Not Deleted On Stories That Have Nothing To Do With OccupyTebow
We're all still warm from the glow of the uprising that sent ESPN.com's commenter police into retreat—a remarkable, joyful march that continues unimpeded even as this is being typed.

The Spinning Magic Of Left-Footed Punters
Why did the Saints, Chargers, and Ravens—three teams with above-average punters—all work out free agent punters last week? No, it's not because any of those teams is scapegoating their punter for the whole team's jaw-dropping inconsistency. Rather, they wanted to practice against left-footed punters...

OccupyTebow Enters Day Four; ESPN.com Admits Defeat
The sit-in at ESPN.com continues unmolested, as the overworked mods have apparently ceded the comment section to mob rule. Meanwhile, people who should know better still don't realize this has long stopped being an attack on Tebow himself, or even draconian comment moderation on a site that's more t...

Watch Three Young Men Throw Punches In A Heated Battle For Sexy-Nurse Girl's Love
In this installment of random fights across America, three shirtless bros wield fists in an effort to win the affections of a near-shirtless "sexy nurse girl" at a Halloween party in Isla Vista, Cal.

The Jets Are Being Babies About Their Thursday Night Game
Mike Mayock says the Jets are "upset" and "frustrated" at being the only team to play a Thursday night game after a Sunday night game (instead of after a Sunday afternoon game) when they head to Denver in week 11. So just a heads-up now: if the Jets lose to a hapless Broncos team, they're going to c...

So this is a match between Romanian clubs Petrolul Ploiești and Steaua București, in which Petrolul is losing to visiting Steaua 0-2.
