was this a serious thread?

11/27/2010 8:04:32 PM

and once you bring in your enforcers, they dont actually fight on the field

what you do, is you have a special patch of ice on every sideline so they can lace up some skates and fight on the ice

only way the sport could be better

11/27/2010 8:05:46 PM

How many points would we have earned for an overtime win if not for Ron Cherry

11/27/2010 8:07:59 PM

a win is a win is a win

11/27/2010 8:11:37 PM

an is an is an

11/27/2010 8:14:13 PM

i feel like there'd be a lot of deaths or otherwise massive brawls if fighting were allowed

since, ya know, football players are much tougher than hockey players

Why don't they have fighting in basketball? I mean a guy commits a hard foul on your star player, you should be able to bring in some gorilla motherfucker to beat the shit out of him

11/27/2010 8:37:37 PM

Why don't they have fighting in baseball? I mean, if there's a play at the plate involving a star player and they get taken out by the catcher, why not allow the bat boy to jump in there and defend the guy?

11/27/2010 8:38:56 PM

the bat boy isn't on the team

11/27/2010 8:40:41 PM

try telling the batboy that

better yet, if Tim Lincecum beans Alfonso Soriano, Lincecum should have to duke it out on the pitchers mound one on one with Carlos Zambrano

11/27/2010 8:41:58 PM

guys with mullets are usually pretty good fighters

fuckin' farmboys

11/27/2010 8:44:07 PM

Why don't they have fighting in hockey? With all those big hits there should be some good fights going. I see a lot of pushing and falling but no punches.

11/27/2010 8:45:52 PM

11/27/2010 8:55:27 PM

obligatory "i went to a fight and a hockey game broke out"

super relevant example bro

11/27/2010 9:07:53 PM

Perfect example of what I'm talking about here. Grossman threw a hit he shouldn't have, so he has to fight Parros.



Grossman's not a fighter, though, so Parros has to fight Barch to answer for fighting Grossman.

11/27/2010 9:22:29 PM

11/27/2010 9:28:05 PM

hey, i think i'm going to deliberately put myself in a situation where i could break bones in my hand that i need for handling my stick and making precise shots

11/27/2010 9:33:19 PM

That's why Parros is fighting and not Ryan Getzlaf.

11/27/2010 9:44:45 PM

wasn't talking about that particular instance, but ok

11/27/2010 9:49:05 PM

Just saying, the enforcer's job is to fight. He doesn't skate around trying to score goals, and the scorers don't skate around trying to punch guys.

11/27/2010 9:52:31 PM

i wasn't under the impression that this grossman guy is an enforcer

11/27/2010 10:03:09 PM

He isn't, but he's taking responsibility for his choice to throw questionable hits.

11/27/2010 10:04:52 PM

and deliberately doing what i said earlier

just saying, at least with enforcement in baseball where you slide in high on someone and know you're probably gonna get beaned later for it, you can generally take it in the back or even attempt to avoid the pitch altogether.

I hope not. I credit more sense to vinylbandit than this thread suggests.

Haymakers thrown by Andre Johnson.

Straight up brawl.

11/28/2010 3:34:34 PM

vinylbandit is a trailblazer

11/28/2010 3:35:52 PM

Why aren't there extra point kicks in hockey?

I mean right after you score a goal in hockey, why not have an extra point that another player would come in and kick? Makes all the sense in the world

11/28/2010 3:48:38 PM

Why are some hockey players such pussies that they can't be hit legally within the rules of the game without having some goon beat the other player up?

That's the more important question.

11/28/2010 3:58:46 PM

This thread sucks but not as much as someone (even jokingly) calling hockey players pussies...

11/28/2010 4:01:37 PM

I'd put a soccer player in a fight over a hockey player

11/28/2010 4:02:35 PM

I wrote "some hockey players".

If you play a game where hitting is allowed but you have an enforcer on your team to prevent you from being hit, you are a pussy.

i shall side with the U on this one

[Edited on November 28, 2010 at 5:01 PM. Reason : ]

Too bad their enforcers didn't get out there to fight for them, that would've been a good fight.

11/28/2010 5:15:22 PM

Speaking of The U



Not in the OB BABY

11/28/2010 5:34:29 PM

lol did they give johnson a game ball? awesome

11/28/2010 6:30:21 PM

Putting a layer of ice on the mat would make boxing much more interesting.

11/28/2010 6:33:17 PM

Golic just equated this with hockey and asked if this is going in the direction of it. He said if he knew he could get his shots in against a guy for a mere* 25,000 bucks, he would do it. It is the league minimum fine for such a thing, and they might let it go... that would be awesome



*mere to them... I would gladly let andre johnson punch me twice in the mug for 25 grand

11/29/2010 6:08:25 PM

Both should have been suspended for one game. Finnagan for being a little bitch and Johnson for throwing punches.

11/29/2010 6:34:08 PM

11/29/2010 7:15:16 PM

lol at hockey fans trying to tell the NFL what to do when the NFL has 10 times the ratings.

11/29/2010 7:20:26 PM

Didn't read the thread, but:

Because football players are strong enough, and have enough traction, to actually kill each other with their bare hands.

11/30/2010 6:17:24 PM

I'm assuming this isn't a serious thread, but rather another opportunity for vinylbandit to inform the internet of his cultural snobbery.

good point. they just showed a clip from some soccer game and a guy got red carded from slapping some other guy. let them fight and it would make the ticket prices worth it
