MELEE IN MIAMI.

"It's war, they're out there to kill you, so I'm out there to kill them. We don't care about anybody but this U. They're going after my legs. I'm going to come right back at them. I'm a fucking soldier."
-Kellen Winslow, former University of Miami Tight End

Well, if you were watching college sports at all this weekend, you probably know that Miami players apparently thought they were in an actual war. The game, between University of Miami-FL and Florida International, wasn't even much of a contest. But for whatever reason, the players got heated and suddenly after an extra point all hell broke loose. Players were punching, tackling, body slamming and then things got really wild. Numerous players were seen stomping on opponents who had been pushed to the ground. Stomping! That's madness!



But the winner of craziest-ass thing was the Miami player who removed his helmet and swung it like a battle axe, cracking another player on the head (luckily the recipient of the blow was still wearing a helmet). First, that's crazy. Second, by taking off your helmet you're leaving your stupid-ass head unprotected against kicks and punches from other players. The safest thing about a football fight is the protection that helmets provides! Leave yours on!

Even more amusing to me was the reaction of analysts to the fight during other games. They called it "deplorable" and "a blemish on the face of college football." Which is, of course, what they should say. The problem is that America loves fights. And you know that when the cameras weren't rolling, those same analysts were standing on their chairs and shouting with excitement as the fight broke out, just like the rest of us.

Bottom line, University of Miami players have virtually no discipline and fights are great to watch.

Fight! Fight! Fight!
