I never played lacrosse because that’s the same time as the tennis season, and later, the same as my high school musicals, so I never put on the pads and had a go. I’m still tough though, like the other day, I got a paper cut and I only cried for like 10 minutes. So there!
Anyways, this video is pretty hilarious, this kid gets KNOCKED OUT and it’s pretty awesome. Mostly because it isn’t me.
Rugby baffles me still, I understand the rules and all but I just don’t see the appeal. Then again, maybe I’m more of a delicate flower than most rugby players. By which obviously I mean that I’m super tough I just don’t want to play. Yeah!
Anyhoo, here is some rugby game with a prime example of why I have nothing to do with this sport. Fast forward in the clip to about the 50 second mark to see a rocking take-down that leaves the opposing player on the ground quite dazed. Enjoy!
Not to become all Canadian or something, and of course, the absolute LAST thing I want to do is make this a hockey blog, BUT, here’s another awesome hit from a game over the weekend. In this clip, New York Islander Doug Weight knocks the snot out of Brandon Sutter of the Hartford Whalers Carolina Hurricanes. Wow.
Since we already saw one great hit from the Bruins game and since the Bruins were otherwise hapless, might as well see Dennis Wideman’s hit on Matt Stajan in open ice. Now I see why my mother never allowed me to play hockey.
Here’s what appears to be a high school football game which, unless it was from Friday Night Lights I normally wouldn’t care about. However, this hit is ridiculous, no matter what quality of competition it be at. Check out this leveling block by a downfield player to help spring this touchdown. Wow. Awesome.

Try as hard as I might I can never truly escape hockey, my once fandom simply won’t allow it. Sigh. Anyhoo, the Bruins are still winless on the season, you know, because they blow, but Milan Lucic did provide some excitement during last night’s game. That’s because he leveled a giant hit on Toronto Maple Leaf Mike Van Ryn that shattered the glass. Van Ryn was fine, several fans were showered in glass and received minor injuries, but they were upgraded from their rinkside seats to a luxury box so, they still had a good time. I miss the good old days when there was lots of hitting and fighting, this clip is a throwback to hockey still being hockey.
The Slanch Report has started an online petition asking the MLB Network to air the Dock Ellis no-hitter he threw on June 12, 1970 against the San Diego Padres. The moment was a seminal piece of baseball history and is certainly worthy of being rerun.
Please join us in this cause and sign the petition below so we can all share in this special and fantastic moment of baseball history. THANKS!
