- ArchieAndrews, on 04/15/2008, -1/+42How Bertuzzi missed making this list is beyond me.
- laserblazer, on 04/15/2008, -7/+41Don't list the Zidane head-butt here - that greasy prick Materazzi was asking for it.
- Lucas123, on 04/15/2008, -1/+33The most disturbing: Laker's forward Kermit Alan Washington punching Rudy Tomjanovich during an on-court fight 1977. Rocket Rudy T. almost died, had to have his face reconstructed and was never the same, while Washington was allowed to continue in his career playing for four other teams -- Boston Celtics, San Diego Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers and Golden State Warriors -- before retiring in 1983. Odd factoid: Kermit was a phychology major in college.
- deviouskoopa, on 04/15/2008, -0/+26Wow @ nutpunch
- zzzpoohzzz, on 04/15/2008, -0/+25no bertuzzi? that was one of the cheapest shots i had ever seen... the one where he punched the guy from behind and slammed his face off the ice?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz9RE9RGrVY (not a rickroll) first one i found... no sound though - markgl, on 04/15/2008, -1/+25Love the sidekick to the catcher! I've never seen that one!
- Bukowsky, on 04/15/2008, -1/+20I wonder why Ron Artest vs. the Pistons didn't make the list?
- BornWithRage, on 04/15/2008, -0/+16they didn't date the video, but i'm willing to bet this sportcenter aired before that happened.
- danwallace, on 04/15/2008, -0/+12"As it turned out, Tomjanovich came very close to dying on the court. Besides having the bone structure of his face detached from his skull, he was leaking blood and spinal fluid into his skull capsule. Tomjanovich would later recount that at the time of the incident, he believed a scoreboard fell on him."
Ouch. - schibs, on 04/15/2008, -0/+11This one definitely belongs on the list:
Todd Bertuzzi sucker punched Steve Moore from behind during a 2004 game, knocking him out instantly and breaking his neck.
Bertuzzi lost almost a million in salary and sponsorhips because of this hit:

Granted, this was retaliation for Moore's hit on Markus Naslund, which happened after the whistle in a game three weeks prior. The hit took Naslund out for three games (concussion, elbow chip). No penalty called = pissed off fans/players. - hijinks, on 04/15/2008, -0/+8well the kind of dated it. It was the clip where Izzy Alcantara kicked the catcher. If i remember they said just this summer. That happened around 2001 I think.
- Laqrhead, on 04/15/2008, -0/+8This must have been made before the Bertuzzi incident. There's no way that it wouldn't be number one.
- lensman00, on 04/15/2008, -6/+13To be fair, while "The Punch" had very dramatic consequences, it is arguably not qualified to be on this list. Tomjanovich came running into a fight that was already in progress, and Washington turned and hit him as Tomjanovich came in from Washington's blind spot. There was no premeditation, and the event is at least somewhat explained by the circumstances.
Bottom line: if you choose to enter a fight, you should be ready to defend yourself. If not, stay out of it. - o0adam0o, on 04/15/2008, -0/+7I dont have speakers at work. Whats up with that football player beating up another guy during practice? #8
- eyepatch100, on 04/15/2008, -0/+7You've been playing too much NFL Blitz.
- bergermeister, on 04/15/2008, -0/+6What about Charles Martin's body slam of Jim McMahon?
- theotheragentm, on 04/15/2008, -0/+6And he ran away on top of that. He must have learned to fight from Homer Simpson.
"You scream 'I'm a hemophiliac' in the most girly voice you can. Then when he turns away in disgust, then it's time to kick some back!" - trevorjez, on 04/15/2008, -1/+7the nancy thing still makes me laugh. i know that is terrible, but i just can't help it.
- troyfoley, on 04/15/2008, -0/+6Albert Haynesworth stomps on Andre Gurode's head: http://youtube.com/watch?v=CwxMRPTsYeo
Marcus Vick stomps: http://youtube.com/watch?v=zfMcqB9jwS0&feature=rel ... - davidrools, on 04/15/2008, -0/+6Sad moments. Lemieux's hit, I don't think, was all that dirty but had bad results. Dirty hits happen all the time in hockey, it's just the ones that result in bad injuries that get the most attention, like Bertuzzi's sucker punch on Moore.
- rootnik, on 04/15/2008, -8/+13I was starting to get a little worried when this didn't show up on the front page again for over a month. Thanks for restoring my faith in digg!
- tmanv, on 04/15/2008, -2/+7Inspired by Sean Avery I guess?
- mrbenns, on 04/15/2008, -0/+5as a Redskins fan, I am so proud they make it onto the top ten twice
- thinboyslim, on 04/15/2008, -2/+7no Cantona kung fu kicking a fan mid game?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwhXYS993Y0&feature ... (astley sux) - d0ugfunny, on 04/15/2008, -2/+6this is nothing compared to this on digg the other day
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0b6_1208099669&p=1 - MysticSavage, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4You talking about that time at the hotel in Colorado?
- ChzPlz, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4No "Stink Finger" Hepoate?
Fail. - fenixconnektion, on 04/15/2008, -1/+5What about Robert Horry bodychecking Steve Nash during last year's NBA playoffs:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=yp4UF4Av_g0 - adrenaline33, on 04/15/2008, -3/+7yeah, since everyone has been on DIgg for 1 year and a half and all.
- ngmcs8203, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4Video is circa 2001, that's why.
- tmanv, on 04/15/2008, -3/+6Haha, great use of greasy.
- ScottMitchell, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3But I don't think Rudy T was "entering the fight." IIRC, from interviews, he said he was going there to help break it up.
Granted, you risk injury entering a fight, but one who runs into a fight to help break it up isn't on the defensive. Watch the video. Rudy's hands are down, he's focusing on pulling apart the two sparring. He's not trying to take out Kermit Washington or start throwing blows. - nickerbocker, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3If they had this updated it would have at least 5 things from the Suns vs Spurs 2007 playoff series.
- triggerfinger, on 04/15/2008, -1/+4How bout Rugby try these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RID8_ZFd3o8 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeWehP9Uijc not yesterdays finger up the... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0b6_1208099669&p=1
- TheCaterpillar, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3Agreed, video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz9RE9RGrVY
- orangetiki, on 04/15/2008, -1/+4Hard to put this topic into a top 10. I can think of 20 other ones that should be on this list.
- laconica007, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3What about Arod slapping the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's mitt in 2004? I know its not a blow to the sack but Arod is never ceases to surprise me in his classlessness. Mr. April is such a dissappointment.
- kenedamick, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3That karate kick/mound-charge was hilarious
- NotADoctor, on 04/16/2008, -0/+3Here's one from the weekend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBKmzqrofrU
Barry Hall, it should be noted, has a whole section labeled Controversies on his wikipedia page. - Cerebral, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3Shouldn't it be the ref's job to break up the fight and NOT the player's? You would think that more players coming over would fuel the fight more. You know, kind of like in baseball where none of the guys run out there to "break up" the fight.
- Guppy, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3He's played for the Vancouver Canucks (NHL) when he did this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz9RE9RGrVY
explained here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Bertuzzi#Steve_M ...
Was a disgusting incident and he rightly got suspended - mack788, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2I watch a lot of Sportscenter and this is at least 5-6 years old.
- rudy23, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2now thats a good way to whine. kudos.
- Kfresh34, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2#2 and #8 are instant classics... still laughing.
- fatTJ, on 04/15/2008, -1/+3That Was The Only Time in My Life That I've Defended a Frenchman
- pdt4life, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2I'm surprised this isn't just a biography of Bruce Bowen.
- hijinks, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2the video was from 2001
- Cerebral, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2Yea, I think the "Rays" (then Devil Rays) guy in the minors throwing the bat at the ump would make the list now too.
- ProjectGSX, on 04/15/2008, -1/+3Note: No Bruce Bowen on the list.
