    Just busting your chops. I duly believe in the passion of sports. One that comes to mind is Dana Rosenblatt's win over Paz in the rematch. He cried like he won the world title. He had never lost and got caught with a haymaker after jawing with Paz and got stopped. He came back and won by decision. He is actually a friend of mine from Somerville, MA and a very good commentator. Don't know if he is still commentating.

    Duncan Ferguson - 6 ft 4 inch tall Ex Fooball (Soccer player), played in the English Premier League and retired several seasons ago....:happy

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Ferguson

    Burglaries
    In 2001, Ferguson was the victim of a burglary attempt by two men at his then home in Rufford, Lancashire. Ferguson confronted the pair and was able to detain one of them who subsequently spent three days in hospital. The second man managed to flee but was eventually caught. Both men were sentenced to fifteen months imprisonment for their actions. Later because of their actions, both men won an "Honorable Mention" from the Darwin Awards.

    And a vid of him on the bag....

    The most obvious one is probably English cricketer Johnny Douglas who was an olympic boxing champion.
