This is just too funny for words. Why? There are a few sports that stand out in my mind as full contact: Hockey, Soccer, Football and last but not least Rugby. Rugby is probably at the top of the list of the most violent sports in the world. I'm sure when it's time to get the team pictures it's probably a huge challenge for the photographer. On one team if their lucky, they might have 32 teeth...all together.
That's why it is unbelievable for a referee to give a player a yellow card for a dangerous haircut! I could imagine if this mohawk had razor blades or a shiv. Does he look like Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street? I don't want to judge but...did this ref think he was going to eviscerate an opposing player?
It's possible that this referee heard about that boxer Margarito, who dipped his hand wraps in the plaster. Just a guess, but I don't think this is the case. This is rugby though! I'm sure somewhere Mr. T mohawk and all would be busting a gut if he knows about this story. Mmmh...I pity the fool!
This year Angels pitcher, Jered Weaver has been nearly unstoppable for opposing batters. He's capable of changing speeds and coming at the batters with different arm angles. The Angels probably liked their chances of winning, considering Weaver leads the all of baseball in wins, e.r.a., innings pitched and strikeouts. On paper this looked to good to be true, especially since Jered had a perfect record of 6-0 and was looking to make it 7-0 against the likes of Johnny Damon, Sam Fuld and the rest of the Rays batters. Could he be stopped by anyone or anythingon this Sunday game in Tampa Bay? Yeah, he was. Not by any of the Rays batters but...a stomach virus. Call it fate being postponed or the baseball gods in the sky intervening momentarily. The only Angels in the outfield on this day in Tampa were not of the heavenly variety. That's not to say Wells, Bourjos and Hunter are slouches at tracking down fly balls. If you've ever seen any team managed by Mike Scioscia, then you know his team will battle no matter how insurmountable the odds are against them. The Angels have been able to stay afloat this year despite having to play without starting pitchers Joel Piniero and Scott Kazmir who have been on the disabled list for the Angels. Filling in for Weaver was rookie Tyler Chatwood. In the first inning alone he gave up seven hits and five runs to the Rays. Could L.A. make a comeback? Click here to read more...
