Fist Fight...

There was this really rough time in my childhood, probably when I was around 14, my mom and I moved from Jersey where we lived out to California - she got a job transfer. We lived in this crappy apartment, but for some reason I went to this upscale public high school. Anyway, as it usually goes, I started talking to this girl who apparently had recently broken up with this a-hole pretty boy. Turns out he and about five of his friends were really into martial arts, and that guy kicked my ass good one night at a beach party.

So anyway, I keep seeing these dudes at school and they always fug with me. One day I was at soccer tryouts - a shoe in to make the team, and one of those punks took me out with a hard slide tackle, so I punched him in the face and the coach kicked me out. I know I would have made the team, this really pissed me off.

So now I want to fug with these guys, so at the halloween dance, one of these guys is in a bathroom stall rolling a joint, and I rigged up this water hose over the top of the stall, turned it on and ran like hell. Problem was, he and all his boys chased me down and caught me just before getting back to my apartment complex. They pulled me off the fence and beat the crap out of me, all of them. They would have killed me had it not been for this old guy who was the maintenance man at the apartments. He saved me that night and kicked some of those guys asses.

Anyway, long story short, that old Asian dude trained me how to defend myself with martial arts, I entered this local tournament, and as luck would have it, got to kick each guy's ass who had been bullying me as I advanced through the tournament. I won the whole thing by beating up the guy who started it all. Oh, and I got the girl when all was said and done.

You can't make this stuff up.

The 7th grade. The only time I've been in a fight before, besides, screwing around and boxing with friends.

I'm not a fighter. If I got into one I know I could defend myself, I know some judo and locks and I'm a decent sized (6'3" 180) guy, so if I needed to defend myself then unless you get a good I'm going to feel bad for what might I do. Fighting isn't in my genes, but if I absolutely needed to I'm prepared to seriously injur a man to defend myself.

I don't think i ever got into a real fight. maybe 2 in elementary school. the first time i got hit this kid smacked me in the face when i was like 5, i cried like a bitch and told my mom.

Met one of my lifelong best friends for the first time when we were both just three.

Our older brothers knew each other, and every time they met up, their standard greeting was to slam each other to the ground.

My buddy, being a keen observer, assumed this was the proper way to say hello.

When they introduced us, I reached out to shake hands, and... :(

It was sometime around '95. Me, the wife and some friends were going to a club to dance, play pool & have some drinks. While we were in the parking lot some guy & his friend was obviously drunk and was yelling at us so we all stopped to see what he was saying. For some reason he singled me out and just suddenly slapped my face. It was unexpected and caught me off guard. Adrenaline took over and I found myself on top of him punching his face into the pavement. I know I broke his front teeth out and the next thing I know a couple of bouncers were pulling me off this guy and to my surprise the bouncer raised my hand as if I were some champ and labeled me "the human sewing machine", then I looked around and the whole parking lot was full of people applauding me.

This was more surprising than the guy that slapped me, I was like, where did all these people come from? The bouncer invited all of us (my party) in with no cover charge and a free drink on the house. I found out that the guy that attacked me had been causing trouble in the club for some time and they had just thrown him out the bar so I was at the right or wrong place at the right or wrong time. I thanked the bouncer but I was in no frame of mind to celebrate. I had blood splatter on my shirt, I was shaking more than Don Knotts in the "shakiest gun in the west" movie. All I wanted to do was leave and go collect myself, shower and put some fresh clothes on while drinking a few beers to try and make some sense of this weird night.

This is a true story, last fight I've had, and hopefully will EVER have again and without a doubt, the strangest!

I did amateur boxing for about 12yrs, so unlike the rest of you un-defeated juggernauts I have taken the proverbial ass kicking.

But I absolutely try to avoid street fight BS at all costs, there was a couple times In HS when I didn't know any better and punks wanted to see if they could beat the boxer and NO THEY COULDN'T, but I ended up getting suspended and all that BS, its just not worth it.

Especially these days, what am I suppose to do just lay waste to some drunk Asshole who mouths off so I can be hit with an assault charge or lawsuit, f*ck that, its absolutely not worth it.

I'll defend my family at all costs anything else is just BS.

Undefeated? My amateur record is 1-43546546 because I got my ass kicked every day for being white.

My professional record? 9-1 and coming to a city near you

They always say it isn't about whether or not you get knocked down, but rather if you get up and stay in the fight.

I should add I have ZERO experience with the above mentioned determination.

Or as I have told my chillun: "It's not the size of the dog in a fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." (not to be confused as a Vick fan)

    • I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme
    • You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.
    • It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
