Here’s a hockey fight from last night that happened at the beginning of the first period. Jesus, people, why don’t you just duke it out in the parking lot before the game? Although we do admit loving the ref in the background picking up the gloves and sticks so the fighters don’t trip over them. Good idea, you don’t want them to hit their heads or anything. [YouTube]
Wow that was quick. Ricky Hatton says he’s looking for a Mayweather rematch. Yesterday it was Oscar De La Hoya in his sights. If he moved this well in the ring, he might be champ right now. [Guardian]

Jim Bouton—former player and author of one of the greatest baseball (and booziest) books of all time, Ball Four—says if non-steroid users rat out users, they’d get dealt with like the Mafia does. If that happened, sleeping with the fishes in baseball wouldn’t just mean doing it with one of the Florida Marlins. [Village Voice]
OK, now we’ve heard it all. There’s a $1 million dollar prize given for fans of a fantasy fishing league. It makes the $350 pot in our fantasy football league seem a little small. But we don’t do it for the money, we do it for the halibut. [Deuce of Davenport]
Johan Santana thinks he’s worth seven years/$140 million. Damn, Major League Baseball’s next study should be about pitchers who are crazy enough to think their contracts should last seven years (and the GMs that pay them). [MLB Trade Rumors]
PGA Golfer Steve Stricker won the PGA Tour’s Comeback Player… for the second year in a row. Is this the new math that they’re teaching kids in school? [Reuters]
