[Assistant] I think it also affected me that people were saying, oh, you can't do this because you're a girl and all that stuff. So I think if you believe that you're good enough, if they tell you otherwise, you don't have to listen to them.

[Assistant] Teammates love to play Mario Kart and Mario Baseball. This is my room. Canada flag. I love hats. That's another thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm also a huge fan of earrings. When I did realize that I wanted earrings, I couldn't get them because playing soccer and basketball and stuff, they'd ask you to take it out. I found them in Victoria, like when I was playing with the team or whatever, with the guys team. This might not even be in tune or anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just those chords over and over again, and my teammates would sing along to it, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then softball was something I started when I was 12. And my parents just thought, oh maybe you've reached your...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was super tiny. The guys were getting bigger and stronger. So my mom said, oh, you should sign up for softball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there was a significant, like, decrease around age eight, I guess, of girls deciding that, oh, they should go to softball, because there's way more opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got an email from my national team coach saying that there was a GM interested in having a girl on their summer league team and I thought what an awesome opportunity but to be quite honest I thought it wouldn't follow through and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was skeptical about being used for the media and everything and just a publicity stunt and not actually getting to play but he reassured me of all that and kind of expected teammates to maybe not be okay with it just because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think sometimes guys think they can't act completely normal around me, but like, they're all fine. I've always played with guys, so it's not something I was like, oh my god, this is so new. I think just the level of the ball was a lot higher, but like, I know I'm good enough. Trust myself, trust my abilities. It's the same game that I've always played.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Light doesn't measure heart. He's driven. He wants to prove everybody wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a ton of pressure, but it doesn't phase him. Like he just goes up and has fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never heard Joey say, I'm afraid, I'm scared, I can't do this. It's always, ooh, I can't wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His name is Clark Kent. They call him Superman. Clark Kent Appuada is just 10. Taking first place in the 100 meter butterfly with a time of 1 minute 9 seconds. Breaking the record by just more than a second. A record set 23 years ago by Michael Phelps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chase is quick to learn, makes it fun, plus he's just a good kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Brian Kimball. I coach all levels of basketball, college, high school, and youth elementary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is strength and momentum and training and communication is really a big part of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, I get just as much out of working with them as perhaps they do with me. There's a wealth of inspiration in the room, there's a hunger to explore, there's a hunger to create, and I thrive off of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I met TJ through Instagram, believe it or not. Ever since then, we've kinda just clicked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] TJ is raw. He has an ability to go on the field and just to make his presence known.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The long term is normally the hardest for someone who's trying to be successful today. And that one feature with him showing patience, I don't know too many kids that can hold emotions in when they're not feeling something happen. And he does a really good job of that. In a game where you need the patience, in two years, three years, that kid is gonna have something special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has kinda set the boundaries for the simple idea of you don't have to be 6'4", you don't have to be 220, you don't have to be a certain color in order to live in the culture of baseball. I think that with TJ holding that much influence into him, it's only gonna guide the next kid to be inspired by him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think baseball is more of a life sport. There's not a lot of people that can handle this much failure and still smile throughout a game. It's the same thing on and off the field. Bad days, good days. We're just here to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Georgia is out there competing against any other state as far as baseball quality goes. It's a game of failure, so how to deal with that is going to help in their life. Way to keep it in front, TJ!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A good person, a good man in life, in the future. That's what we hope for. At least I do as a coach. That's what we try to emphasize on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I freestyle, it's only me and a ball. So no matter what mood I'm in, I can go out and freestyle. It was a outlet for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It allows me to channel my feelings. So if I'm angry, I no longer take it out on a person. I can take it out when I'm freestyling. By taking out a ball, it almost is like a beautiful art.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gone through so much in my earlier life, why is this happening again? But, I could either view not being able to play soccer,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I freestyle because I want to express myself and spread positivity through the sport I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I perform at halftime. I perform three hours before out in front. Anyone that comes in gets to see us. It's like a dream come true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's like a quote that I always like keep in my head, which is just like, keep pushing. Because, well, when I was born, I was given such a low percent chance of surviving. So I think that the reason I'm on this earth is because I have a reason to be here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I keep pushing because no matter what comes my way, whether I'm at a disadvantage or an advantage, I need to keep going and I need to show everybody what I can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyler's history with football started when he was seven. I was a football coach at Acton for years. It's been in my blood, it's been in my life my entire time. And with my son being big, I thought that it would be a great


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time he was in 8th grade, he was 6 feet tall, 195 pounds in every private school in New England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's absolutely crazy. Tyler is in eighth grade. He hasn't stepped a foot in high school yet and he has a full athletic scholarship to play football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here to tell us all about his NBA All-Star weekend in Toronto, please welcome 9-year-old Demarjay Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, you know, normal day with me and Blaze, you know, we get up, you know, go to breakfast, you know, breakfast time is really like our, you know, our father son time, you know, when we get a chit chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played high school ball, played lily, played a little bit of college. But you know, had a troubled background, street life, you know. Lack of support, and you know, just lack of guidance, honestly. Due to the fact I went through all that, it taught me so much and gave me so many life lessons. So I was able to teach my son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely want him to feel like, you know, I was a kid, I did have fun, and I also was the best at sports all at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what makes Blaze different is that he asks all the things you can't teach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make a cut and separate yourself by five yards off of one plinch. You got a heart of a what? A lion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're a step with him, he'll get three steps ahead of you. Blaze hates losing. He's not, he's in fear of nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also helping him with flipping his hips. Every time you see somebody run slow to the end, what happens? They get tackled or they get the ball hit out at the back and it fumbles. Don't do that again. Full speed all the way through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You watch Blaze, watch his brother. Even though he's football-feeling everything, Blaze is always correcting his brother. Even if I'm not around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Gordon flew Blaze out for three days, got him a nice room. It was a great experience. Josh Gordon was introducing him to all the players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not like a real run your mouth kid and always being disruptive in kids. Like if you look at his little agenda in school, like every day he gets a good note. He might be so soft spoken, but you know, like I said, he focuses on all his work. He does grade in school, grade in sports. He's just a overachiever, honestly. So, do you have to be smart in school to play sports?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, I reward Blaze for what he does. You know, I put work at it to get my kids to work for what you get. That's how life will be in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a ton of pressure, but it doesn't phase him. Like he just goes up and has fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never heard Joey say, I'm afraid, I'm scared, I can't do this. It's always, ooh, I can't wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is my gym, this is where I work out. Let me show you what I do best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I first started working out when I was about seven, but seriously got into it when I was about eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I just love pushing myself to new limits, finding out what our bodies are capable of, and I think it's a really cool thing to know that you can push yourself to such great limits so you can go as high as the sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something I really love about rope climbs is it's so fun. You're gonna have your feet and climb up and then climb down. It's almost like climbing a building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We try to eat more wholesome foods. A quick way to actually know if it's healthier for you is you shouldn't have to read the ingredients in it. So eggs, you know, there's one ingredient, it's just eggs. I like adding milk to my eggs because I think it makes them more fluffy. That's how I get my muscles. Milk, it's great for calcium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been training at the MMA gym since I was probably like two and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My uncle Will is pretty amazing. He does a lot for me and definitely supports me through infinity and beyond. Super strong too and he knows how to defend himself, so that's a good uncle to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these are all my medals for weightlifting, cause right now at this age I can't really compete in CrossFit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one right here. I bombed out on snatch so I didn't hit any of my snatching lifts. If you bomb out, your total's gonna be zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was really bummed out, like, started crying in the back a little bit. But I was like, well, it's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was probably the most proud moment I have ever been of myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm seeing the other kiddos jumping out of their parents' vehicles and they're wiping sleep out of their eyes. First thing that I think is, wow, Roman's been up since about 4.30.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His actual skating ability is, in my opinion, second to none. He's so smooth. He can do stuff that professional skaters can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roman's skill level as well as his work ethic has been one of the main reasons that he's got a lot of attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His consistency, every day he gets on the ice, he comes out with the same drive, the same tenacity, the same desire to get better. And I decided it would be a good idea to start documenting his progression from two and a half years old on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NHL on NBC caught wind of it and they reposted it and at that point it really started to go viral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Attributing at all just to talent I think just is a discredit to what he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't need to, it's not about quick, it's not about shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. The skating we do in the morning is extremely important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since he turned seven, we've been really trying to capitalize on that first window of fast twitch muscle development. And a lot of times, it's work that's done off the ice. I want you to tell me where you're aiming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And every shot, I want you to take your time. I want you to pull it out. I want you to look and say, top left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. We're gonna set up a junkyard drill that he really likes to do. I'm gonna set up a bunch of cones in this circle right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So right now he's just being a regular goofball like he always is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We get here, he puts on the helmet, and he turns into a hockey machine. As soon as he takes his helmet off, he's like, yeah, he's eight years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can already outskate me. Uh, one of my buddies said the student has become the teacher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ultimate goal I would love to see him playing the GTHL someday, which is the Greater Toronto Hockey League. That's, that's the premier league for, you know, youth hockey, I think, in the world, really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to compare him to Crosby right now, I mean, those are some fake shoes to fill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He definitely has an opportunity that most kids don't have. Once he's already ahead of the game, he's already doing what he's supposed to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta make it to the end. You've been here literally for four minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would it take you, Charlotte, to just lay down in the middle of a game and take a nap?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the Lakers, he just laid down on the bench in the middle of the game. He is the only one on the bench because the rest of the team is on the court. Now normally you would be joined with other people who don't happen to be playing at the moment, but the rest of his team was out with injuries. All of the Lakers were like completely wiped out. So they were down to literally their last five dudes on the court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they got to continue playing, even if after a whole mess of fouls. Would you like to hear the rule that spawned this story? I happen to have the NBA Association, the National Basketball Association official rule book. Wow. It's rule three. Section one, it says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you need your entire bench to be injured or ejected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they were played with injuries at the time. Jodie Meeks was out. Jordan Hill was out. Kobe was out. Steve Nash was like on a break. Nick Young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean it would be fun to just go ham in a sporting event and have no repercussions at all. A guy in 1949 kinda did that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has the record for the most personal fouls in a regular season game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they just, because they had no more guys left they were like, I guess you can keep playing, so he kept fouling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same deal, they just, he hit six fouls and they were like, I guess keep playing, Dan. Have at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be like watching someone on your team throwing a perfect game. Like, go get em, Dan!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could go down in history as a meme and a record holder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, go watch another one. Go watch another one right now. It's got John Boyce in it. It's about baseball. It's really good. I promise you, you'll like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the biggest issue would be, you know, his breathing. So both his lungs collapsed. He had three holes in his heart. He had spots on his brain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Freestyling, playing soccer, playing with his friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His knee started hurting, then we went to the orthopedist, and then the MRI showed that his knee was dead. Your bone has no blood flow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we started physical therapy and it was nearly, uh, it was going on two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, do you think I can juggle? And I said, well, I would think so. Let's check with the doctor. And he said, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just, he's so happy, you know, the minute that ball was on his feet again. And then that is really when his love of freestyling took off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in the US Champs last year, it was his first year competing and he ended up coming in fifth place. And so he was, he was very happy with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say really at the beginning of October, I saw a big change in him. He'd come home from school and he'd lay on the couch, which he has never done his entire life. Called the doctor, they said bring him in today for blood work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they called me Monday morning. They said, you know, he's, he's sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go and get him from school because he was bleeding internally and they suspected that he had Crohn's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew he would make his way back when he was ready physically and then slowly as the medicine kicked in, I could see an improvement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The work with the Red Bulls started just by going to Red Bull Games. When we would enter the boulevard, he was enthralled with the freestylers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were a couple of them who really kind of took him under his, their wing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had said if you practice and continue to improve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can come back and really be much more involved going forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His determination, his unwillingness to compromise, whatever it is he wants to set as his goal, he never wavers from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I had to describe myself in five words, cool, funny, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did the number 5 come from? Oh, the number 5 came from her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am. Because I take stuff more serious. I take all game personal because you want to make it to the championship every game and win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can, I will work. We can go outside right now. I'm beating you today. Okay. Today when I end your career. Ready to take it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I like about basketball is you get to compete and it's a family game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't just do it by yourself. You have the other four helping you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just very smooth on the ice. It just looks very natural for him to skate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually funny because that was the first thing I ever had to kind of force him to go to. So I was like, I know you'll love it, just try it. He was very nervous. He went. He loved it. And I've never had to make him go to another thing again. Good. Again. Shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The basement, we did that about a year ago. We refinished the basement. He went down there, he was stick handling on our new tiles and shooting holes in our wall. So we were like, why don't we just get some hockey tiles and we'll put some insulation up back there so at least it doesn't go through the walls. So that was pretty much why we did that because he was gonna do it anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rollerblading pretty much just started when quarantine started. As soon as there was no more ice, he had to find another outlet. So he really took to the rollerblading, started in the street, and then we decided to build the rink for him in the yard to continue practicing his skills there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's a lot of kids that can skate, there's a lot of kids that can play hockey. The thing that I notice about him, like I said, is his determination. He's willing to put the work in every day. He loves to play hockey. So sometimes people tell me like, be careful, you're gonna burn him out. But honestly, I don't make him do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He actually comes to me or will ask me like, what do we have today? Oh, can I work with this coach? Can I work with that coach? So I never push him for anything. It might look like that on the outside, you know, because he's doing so much, but really I never do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be amazing if you could play Division 1 hockey. Really, at this point, that's a realistic goal, I would think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Claire Echols made baseball history as she came in, that's right, she came in as a relief pitcher and she's a left handed knuckle baller. What is your stance and how do you see women perhaps playing pro ball down the road?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can't build a stance. Like what I'm thinking of is the ball is like at a place high in the tree. Sure yea. You know, play it where it lies. Right. Stacking up some chairs or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was the guy that called in? No one else. I like to think that he has a rivalry with Sadler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shouldn't your catty be on top of this more than like anyone? You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A referee's job is to be impartial. Isn't that usually the case?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, so did he score for the team that was winning or the team that was losing? The team that was losing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it's a point for you, but do you feel like that's sort of patronizing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's all this in? I'm just chopped liver, I guess, huh? We've got two points on the board now from Mr. Bloody Ref.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm envisioning a future, and I know FIFA's doing terrific, but for a future where things at FIFA are so rough that they start pulling stunts like bringing this guy in? Sure. Could the referees form their own team? Because I think that is what I would like. Yes. For Bryan Seville, is just to have a team of referees that just shows up at games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys close to that size have played receiver before, can, you know, run routes and they're taller than everyone, they can catch the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I don't know what position that would be, but it's like super free safety trying to play D on the goalpost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How often this even matters? I guess some kicks, you know, hit the very bottom or come pretty close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which has to look really stupid, right? Because a field goal is coming, even a short field goal is coming from very far away, and it's typically going to clear the crossbar by a lot, so he's just jumping and waving his arms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like me trying to play basketball and trying to goaltend. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we're like catching alley-oop? Like, it's not gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever successfully blocked the field goal from directly in front of the uprights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, what if instead of that, and this could give you a few feet in front of the goalpost, you had one player already on the field sit on that guy's shoulders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty cool to have a role named after you. And also have it not be a role like, something creepy, like you're not allowed to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, you know, normal day with me and Blaze, you know, we get up, you know, go to breakfast, you know, breakfast time is really like our, you know, our father-son time, you know, where we get a chit-chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played high school ball, played lily, played a little bit of college, but you know, had a troubled background, street life, you know, lack of support, and you know, just lack of guidance, honestly. Due to the fact I went through all that, it taught me so much and gave me so many life lessons, so I was able to teach my son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely want him to feel like, you know, I was a kid, I did have fun, and I also was the best at sports all at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew Blazers was going to be fast when he was three. From him getting up on your market set, going and running out the room. If I was a weekend dad, I would have never seen that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm about to work on his ladder drills and change the direction. You know, quick feet, like we say, slow feet don't eat. All season man blades get it in about three times to four times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or we, you know, uhm, our fourth day would be a cool down day, but basically we're just working on a lot of form. Day one through three, we're definitely doing a lot of agility, a lot of acceleration drills, a lot of deceleration drills, a lot of reaction time drills, and just a lot of explosion drills. That's why when you see Blaze work out, he's able to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make a cut and separate yourself by five yards off of one plinch. You got a heart of a what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're a step with him, he'll get three steps ahead of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same direction he's going to help is acceleration and deceleration and also helping him with flipping the pips. Every time you see somebody run slow at the end, what happens? They get tackled and they get the ball hit out at the back and they fumble. We're going to do that again, full speed all the way through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Gordon flew Blades out for three days, got him a nice room. It was a great experience. Josh Gordon was introducing him to all the players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

So, do you have to be smart in school to play sports?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you imagine a way that if you were the best cyclist in the world, you could crash in a way that was like, advantageous to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It turns out there's actually a rule. As long as you can sell it, you can crash on purpose and get a restart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is an option. So, in International Psyching, there's this rule that says, well, I'll just read it for you, because I happen to have the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rules from the Union Cycliste Internationale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is regarding mishaps. It actually says the word mishaps in bold, which is kind of fun. It says in the first half lap, in the event of a mishap, the race is stopped and restarted immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what you could potentially do is tank on purpose and go down if you feel like you got a bad start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I hate to break it to you but in the London 2012 Olympics, a dude did it and got away with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On purpose. And admitted it! His name was Philip Hines. He's on the British cycling team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the London 2012 Olympics. In the uh, like indoor cycling team sprint. The signal happens and he leaves and within the first two or three seconds he kinda wobbles and he goes down. And they have to restart the race because of this rule. They later go on to win the gold and then after he's being interviewed and he says this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm very curious about what was like going through this guy's head going into this race. Cause he obviously admitted to like, I'm gonna do it. So the race starts, you get like maybe not a great start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, you have to do it in that first half lap. You really have to be like, okay, here we go, no, I'm crashing, oh, there we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, he says this, but then later they have to come back and be like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the rules' fault. I'm very curious about the lengths that this guy would go to win something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you were, if you were in an Olympic race with Hitler... You'd kill Hitler for the gold? I would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a pretty low bar to be honest with you. Killing Hitler, first of all you get to kill Hitler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, totally worth it. Wow, that guy definitely tried to get away with cheating.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ninh explains the rules of the Highland Games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Highland Games is a traditional set of events that are contested every year around the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Similar to the shot put in athletics, the main difference is that an actual stone is used instead of a standard steel shot, with a maximum weight of 22lbs for men and 12lbs for women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These capers vary in size and weight, but on average are 19 feet 6 inches long and weigh roughly 175 pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The object of the game is not to throw the cape at the farthest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard work just picking up the caver, let alone launching it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lightweight event, which is £28 for men and £14 for women,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And modern hammers are large iron balls on the end of a wooden handle. The object of the game is the same. You must throw the hammer as far as you can. But there's a catch. You're not allowed to move your feet prior to releasing the hammer. And you must throw it over your shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Competitors will try and throw a 56lb weight as high as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They must use one hand and throw it over a bar which increases in height.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Competitors will use a pitchfork and try and throw a £20 bail of straw for men and £10 for women over the bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same rules apply, and the highest throw with the fewest misses, wins. The Tug of War.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The team that pulls the other team over their marker wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All competitors, unless doing track events, must wear a traditional Scottish kilt. Preferably with the tartan fabric of your family's clan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In modern Highland games, there are usually separate contests for traditional Scottish dance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each Highland Games are opened and closed with a ceremony, very similar to the Olympics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hockey had some bullshit rules. In a way, he kind of saved hockey by being the villain. Someone had to push hockey to its limit. This is like the shot clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is, I have absolutely no idea what that is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I assume it's something related to football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am too sticky. It's like a very clever side effect there. Right. It's almost kind of like those big velcro suits you get at like really cheap carnivals and they try to stick you to a wall, but football. Right, yeah, exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the rule also stated no sticky or slippery substances. Right. So we're, we're breaking the rule regardless. Yes, yea yea yea. This is much more interesting. Okay, here wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta say, not the most pleasant football experience I've ever had. Yeah. In my life. Yeah, I appreciate that now I have to walk around like a surgeon who's just scrubbed up. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least you got nice hair, and that's what I've been missing from the NFL recently. I wanted game that's harder to play, players with better hair. Right. Solves both of those problems. Perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The object of the game is for your team to score more goals than the opposing team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ice football, sometimes referred to as ice soccer, is a version of association football that is played on an Olympic sized ice rink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teams consist of 7 players, with 6 players taking to the ice at any one time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game starts with a kickoff, where a player from each team contests for the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To score a goal, you must put the ball in your opponent's goal. For it to count, the hole of the ball must cross the goal line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In ice football, you are allowed to touch the ball with every part of your body except your arms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or run with the ball whilst controlling it with your feet, known as dribbling. When the ball is in the air, players can head or chest the ball as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teams will usually orchestrate passes and dribbles so that the ball travels up the ice so that they can score. The defending team will try and stop them by tackling. They can intercept passes


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lock shots. Or try and kick the ball away from you and move the ball in the other direction so that they can score themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A defender must be careful here, as if the referee decides that they made contact without trying to win the ball, he can award a foul against them. Fouls usually lead to free kicks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game is played in just one period, which varies between 6 and 9 minutes, with the clock stopping for every stoppage in play. Highest score at the end of time, wins. If you haven't already noticed, players wear ice hockey padding to protect themselves. And just to make running on ice even harder, they're all wearing bowling shoes. Yes, that's right, bowling shoes. You're kidding me right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Germany, the most sensible country in the world, created this hybrid ice hockey football sport that lasts just under 10 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then decided to make it harder by making players wear bowling shoes with £40 worth of armour on ice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The opposing team will be awarded a free kick from roughly where the ball left the ice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the event of a foul, a referee can award a free kick to the team who was fouled. Substitution A team can change players on the fly. A team cannot change a player if he's already been sent off. Handball


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If anyone else happens to touch the ball with an arm, forearm, elbow or hand, the referee will call handball and possession of the ball is awarded to the other team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ball will be placed on the penalty spot, and any attacking player can try and score with one kick against the goalie. If a shot is scored, it counts as a goal. If the shot is missed, it's a goal kick. Penalty Shootout


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teams will alternate three penalty kicks each, and the team with the most goals wins. Zorb Football


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to be outdone by the Germans, the English have their own version of ice football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were glad to know that they don't wear bowling shoes, but instead, they wear a zorb, which is this inflatable bubble surrounding the player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Players have to bump their opponents out of the way to try and score goals.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're also on Reddit, you can post this video and discuss it there. But in the meantime, enjoy Ice Football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a team, and I'd be like, we need fans who really know this game and know how to skate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know where I bet that came from? I bet they had refs who would get so, like, messed up before game, who would be like, at a bar before, and then they're like, I can have one in skate, and then they have like, six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, I would answer in like two seconds, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryan, when you have a dream, you do whatever it takes to achieve it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because otherwise I'm just getting in trouble, or if I need a publicity for like, say I had a book coming out, my book would be called Try a Little Bit Less Hard, maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say that someone wants to just play as, like, dirty as they can. They could sabotage their own team so that they're sure, like, everyone's injured, there are only five guys who can play. You could set up a scenario where if you're a real jerk of a player, you can do whatever you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make it interesting guys, like get rid of your teammates so there's no one on the bench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The object of the game is for your team to score more points than the opposing team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rugby sevens, or just sevens, is a variety of rugby union that is played with two teams of seven players, playing on a field that's 100 metres long between the goal lines. In rugby sevens, you may run forwards with the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you may kick the ball forwards. But what's interesting about rugby sevens is that you can only pass the ball backwards or sideways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You cannot pass the ball forwards and doing so will result in your opponent being awarded possession.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can run with the ball into your opponent's in goal area and place the ball down onto the ground. This is a try and is worth 5 points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlike in American football, the player must press the ball on the ground with downward pressure. No downward pressure equals no try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After scoring a try, you were awarded a conversion kick to add more points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The kick is made from a spot 20 metres from the goal line, and perpendicular to the spot where the trial was scored.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlike in rugby union, you have to drop the ball onto the floor first before kicking it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your opponent commits a foul, you may choose to kick the ball from the ground between the goal posts. This scores 3 points. 4. A Drop Goal


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can also kick the ball between the posts at any time during open play. To do this, you must drop the ball onto the ground first before kicking it. This also scores 3 points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To stop you from scoring, your opponents will try and stop you by tackling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your opponent can grab you below the shoulders and pull you to the floor or stop you moving forwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like in rugby union, once a player is tackled, the ball carrier must let go of the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This usually results in players pushing each other away on the ground, whilst a teammate tries to get possession of the ball. Players from either team can get possession at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game is played in two 7 minute halves, for a combined playing time of 14 minutes. Team with the highest score after 14 minutes, wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's basically the gist of it, but there's a few other rules you'll need to understand before playing or going to a game. For example… Knock On.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any player deflecting the ball forwards with their arms or body is committing a knock-on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, you're not allowed to pass the ball forwards, so you're not allowed to deflect it forwards either, unless it's a kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Committing a knock-on will result in the other team being awarded a Scrum. Scrum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a method of restarting play, usually after a forward pass or knock on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is rugby terminology for Out of the Plain Area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The outer lines of the field are touch lines and any ball leaving the field of play is said to be in touch. Other differences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are several differences which make this game play differently to the other versions of rugby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're still not sure, I highly recommend watching my videos on the other two forms of rugby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes me ages to make one of these things, and good karma is very much appreciated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be sure to follow me on Twitter also, but in the meantime, enjoy Rook b7s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That explains the rules of association football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The object of the game is for your team to score more goals than the opposing team. To score a goal, you must put the ball in your opponent's goal. For it to count, the whole of the ball must cross the goal line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In football, you're allowed to touch the ball with every part of your body except your arms. The main way to move the ball is to kick the ball to a teammate, which is known as a pass, or run with the ball whilst controlling it with your feet, known as dribbling. When the ball is in the air, players can head or chest the ball as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teams will usually orchestrate passes and dribbles so that the ball travels up the field so that they can score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defending team will try and stop you by tackling. They can intercept passes, block shots, or try and kick the ball away from you and move the ball in the other direction so that they can score themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A defender must be careful here, as if the referee decides that they made contact with the player without touching the ball, or made contact without trying to win the ball, he can award a foul against them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fouls usually lead to free kicks, but can also lead to a yellow card, which is a warning, or a red card, where you are sent off the pitch. Two yellow cards equals one red card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlike most other sports, in football, when there is a stoppage in play, the clock does not stop. Instead, a referee will add the amount of time all the stoppages last for, and they will play this as added time at the end of each half. Highest score at the end of 90 minutes, plus added time, wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are ties in football, and if both teams have the same amount of goals at the end of time, this is declared as a draw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Football is a really simple game, and that's basically it, but there's a few more things that you'll need to understand before playing or watching a game. For example,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Substitution. A team can change up to three players during a match. To do this, they must inform the fourth official of who they want to take off, and who they want to put on. Only in a stoppage of play can a substitution be made. A team cannot change a player if he's already been sent off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Handball If you happen to touch the ball with an arm, forearm, elbow or hand, the referee will call handball against you and possession of the ball is awarded to the other team. If you commit a handball in your own penalty box, the other team will be awarded a penalty kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Penalty kick. If a defender handles the ball in the penalty box, or brings down an attacker with a scoring chance in the box, the referee will award a penalty kick to the other team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ball will be placed on the spot, and any second player can try and score with one kick against the goalie. If a shot is scored, it counts as a goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the ball leaves the field of play, the ball is awarded to the team who did not touch it last. If the ball leaves the side of the field, a throw-in is awarded to the other team. If you touched it last and it goes out behind your opponent's goal line, a goal kick is awarded to the other team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you touched it last and it goes out behind your own goal line, a corner kick is awarded to the other team. In the event of a foul, a referee can award a free kick to the team who was fouled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, the dreaded offside rule. To put it in simple terms, imagine a line that extends from your opponent's last defender. You cannot be past that imaginary line when a pass is being played towards you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you are past the last defender before the ball is passed to you, this is offside and will result in the other team being awarded the ball. For you to be onside, you must be in front of, or parallel to, the last defender when a pass is being played towards you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a lot to take in, but it's one of the easiest sports to understand. If you watch a game or two, you'll probably pick up the rules after just a few matches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gaelic football is an Irish sport, played with two teams of 15 players each. The game is played on a field that's generally a maximum of 145 metres by 85 metres. These are the goals which are 6.5 metres wide, and the crossbar which is 2.5 metres above the ground. Unlike in soccer, the posts extend above the crossbar, just like in rugby. The exact same goals and field dimensions are used in hurling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a player kicks or fists the ball over the crossbar, but between the posts, this is a point, and this scores one point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game is played in two 30 minute halves for a combined playing time of 60 minutes. Highest score at the end of time, wins. Any game that results in a draw must be replayed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, there's more, isn't there? Oh yea, Gaelic football looks complicated, and moving the ball around the field is the most difficult part to understand. There's a lot of things you can and can't do to move the ball up the field in Gaelic football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can move the ball by kicking it out of your hands, kicking it along the ground, and running with the ball in your hands, so long as it's not more than four steps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If after 4 steps you want to keep the ball, you must hop the ball off your foot to be eligible to take another 4 steps. This is known as soloing and is the equivalent of dribbling in soccer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can also choose to solo the ball by bouncing it from the ground, but you are not allowed to do that twice in a row. Therefore, most players alternate between hopping it from the foot and bouncing it on the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A player can catch the ball with his hands in the air. A player can hand pass to a teammate, where you slap the ball with an open palm. And a player can fist the ball, where you strike the ball to a teammate with a clenched fist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, a player cannot touch the ball on the ground with his hands or lift it with his knees. And a player cannot throw the ball...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're used to Australian rules football, this may seem very familiar, but there's a few other things that you'll need to understand before playing or going to a game. For example, free kick


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A free kick is a restart in play usually after a foul. If a foul occurs, a free kick is awarded either at the spot of the foul, where the ball lands after a foul, or the 13 metre line for fouls inside the 13 metre area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Foul. If a player commits any of these infractions, a foul is assessed and the other team is awarded possession of the ball by way of a free kick. A player can also be cautioned with a yellow card, sent off with a black card but a substitute may replace him, or a red card where you are sent off the pitch without a substitute replacement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Penalty kick. If a foul was committed on a player with a legitimate chance to score, a penalty shot will be given to the attacking team. The ball is placed on the ground at the 13 metre line, and only the goalkeeper can guard the net. Just like in soccer, it's one kick only, and any goals scored count towards the overall score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Substitution. A team is allowed to substitute up to 5 players per game. Very similar to soccer, the players must wait in the substitution area and players must enter or exit at the designated area only, and only in a stoppage of play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The object of the game is for your team to score more goals than the opposing team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Water polo is a game played by two teams of 14, with seven players taking to the pool at any one time. They consist of one goalkeeper and six field players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To score a goal, a player must throw the ball into the goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These goals are 3 metres wide and 0.9 metres above the surface of the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pool is a maximum of 30 metres long and 20 metres wide, and is a minimum depth of 1.8 metres.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a red line 2 metres away from the goal, an amber line 5 metres away from the goal, and a mid line in the middle of the pool. I'll explain what these lines are for later. The game starts with a ball in the middle line of the pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the referee blows the whistle, both teams will swim for the ball and try and take possession of it. You can pass the ball directly between teammates in any direction and swim with the ball by pushing it in front of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Few players can only hold the ball with one hand and the idea is to pass the ball to a teammate and set up in a position to be able to throw the ball into the goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to be quick though, as once your team has possession of the ball, you have up to 30 seconds to shoot the ball. Failure to shoot results in the other team being awarded the ball. Your opposing team will try and stop you by blocking the ball in the air, intercepting the ball, or trying to move you out of position so that they can get the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will try and take the ball away from you so that they can score themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game is played in four 8 minute periods, for a combined playing time of 32 minutes. High score at the end of time, wins. Huh, that was easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, water polo is an easy sport to understand, but there's a few other things you'll need to understand before playing or going to a game. For example, ordinary foul. Ordinary fouls include the following, and result in the ball being awarded to the other team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The clock does not stop during ordinary fouls, and the offending team must allow the other team to play the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Major fouls, also known as exclusions or kick-outs, are more severe than ordinary fouls, and include the following.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defending player is excluded for 20 seconds and cannot participate in play during this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the same player racks up three major files, they're rejected from the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the rare case that a player deliberately tries to injure another player,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is known as a brutal or brutality foul, and results in the player being ejected immediately. The 2 metre line, denoted in red, is an area where he cannot receive the ball. However, the player can still swim with the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 5 metre line, denoted in yellow, marks an area where if an opposing player is fouled, he is awarded the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's only allowed to pass the ball, he cannot shoot directly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The goalkeeper can use two hands to handle the ball up to the 5 metre line, and this is also the line used for penalties. Penalty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a major foul is committed on a player who has a realistic chance of scoring, a penalty is awarded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The player is awarded the ball at the 5 metre line and only the goalkeeper can stand in the way. Just like soccer, it's one shot only. Time out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teams can take a one minute period to take a break or to discuss strategy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is called a timeout and teams are allowed one timeout per period. Substitution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A team is allowed to have seven substitutes on the bench. This consists of one substitute goalkeeper and six substitute field players.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The object of the game is for a rider to stay on the bull for as long as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bull riding is popular in North and South America, and is the most popular of all the rodeo sports. The process starts with the rider mounting the bull. He's allowed to hold onto the bull with one arm only.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is usually via the flank strap, which is this thing attached to the bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is not allowed to touch the ball with his other hand for any reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the rider is ready, he will indicate this to the gate crew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as the ball's shoulder or flank breaks the plane of the gate, the timer starts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He must try and ride the bull for as long as possible and he only scores if he stays on the bull for at least 8 seconds. The bull, being a typical bull, will try and jump


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Balls are selected for their aggressiveness and ability to dismount riders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rider is considered to be off the ball if he touches the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the rider lasts longer than 8 seconds, judges will give the rider an overall score out of 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's based on how well he matched the balls movement, how fluid his riding is, and general style points.

[Assistant] Obviously, if the rider falls short of 8 seconds, he scores zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ball is also scored after 50, regardless of the rider lasting 8 seconds or not. Judges look for the drop in the front end, kick in the back, spin and any directional changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rider score and the bull score are added together to give a right score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A score of 90 or above is considered to be exceptional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bull Riding is contested in varying formats depending on where you go. But in general, the rider with the highest overall score at the end of all the rounds... Wins. This all seems pretty dangerous to me. Yep, it's definitely that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ball riding is known as the most dangerous eight seconds in sports. And you can see why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The danger that a rider could be injured, or worse, appeals to most fans of the sport, and there's a few things that you'll need to know before watching or attempting bull riding. For example, spurring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spurring is not required, but this demonstrates difficulty and control and will add points to the writer's score. Wreck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the rider is forcibly ousted by the bull, this is known as a wreck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrecks can be pretty spectacular, and it's not a case of if you get hurt, it's when. All fighters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also known as rodeo clowns, these are the colorful gentlemen surrounding the bull during a ride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Contrary to their official job title, they don't actually fight the bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their job is to distract the bull once a rider comes off and get them away from the rider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They risk their own lives ensuring that the rider lives to fight another day. And yes, sometimes these guys get hurt too. Reride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If judges feel that a ball has underperformed or something unexpected happens that ruins a rider's chances of scoring highly, such as a strap breaking or a rider being railed against a wall, the judges may offer a re-ride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will signal a chance at a rewrite by throwing a red flag into the ring.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes me ages to make one of these things, and good karma is very much appreciated.

[Assistant] Be sure to follow me on Twitter also, but in the meantime, enjoy bull riding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a try and is worth four points. Unlike in American football, the player must press the ball down onto the ground with downward pressure. No downward pressure equals no try. Number two, a conversion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your opponent commits a foul, you may choose to kick the ball from the ground between the goal posts. This also scores two points. You can also kick the ball between the posts at any time during open play. To do this, you must drop the ball onto the ground first before kicking it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is known as drop goal, and is rarely seen because it's only worth one point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In rugby league, once a player is tackled, the opponent must let go of the ball carrier, and his team must retreat 10 metres.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ball carrier is allowed to stand up and kick the ball back to a teammate to start the process all over again. You are allowed up to six tackles to score. That's right, six. Six is the magic number, and the number of tackles allowed is six. If your team is tackled a sixth time, your opponents gain possession of the ball from the spot of the tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like in American football, a team will usually kick the ball away after the fifth tackle to make it more difficult for the other team to score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's basically the gist of it. But there's a few other rules you'll need to understand before playing or going to a game. For example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knock on. Any player deflecting the ball forwards where their arms or body is committing a knock on. Remember, you're not allowed to pass the ball forwards, so you're not allowed to deflect it forwards either, unless it's a kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Committing a knock-on will result in the other team being awarded a scrum. Scrum!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a method of restarting play, usually after a knock on or forward pass. The forwards of both teams line up and push against one another while the ball is rolled between them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Possession of the ball is usually won by the team that's awarded the scrum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you think you can kick the ball from behind your own 40m line, bounce it on the floor and into touch within your opposition's 20m line, your team is awarded possession. The referee will award you an extra 6 tackles and possession of a scrum where the ball has lapped the field. This can be a tremendous advantage if kicked correctly as you gain big field position with a single kick of the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For this list, we'll be looking at the craziest and most sensational knockouts in UFC history. Which of these knockouts would you put on a highlight reel? Be sure to let us know in the comments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 10, Rashad Evans vs Chuck Liddell, UFC 88. After winning 6 of his last 7 fights, light heavyweight Rashad Evans was ready to take on his greatest challenge yet in the form of legend and former champion Chuck Liddell. It was the perfect opportunity to catapult himself into title contention, and Suga made the most of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During an exchange in the second round, Evans threw an overhand right and it connected perfectly on Liddell's chin. Everyone, including Evans, was in shock. The performance proved he was the real deal and more than just a wrestler, subsequently earning a title shot and eventually claiming UFC Gold against Forrest Griffin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 9, Holly Holm vs Ronda Rousey, UFC 193.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Several iconic head kick knockouts have been dubbed the kick hurt around the world. This one earns that name with good reason. For UFC 193, the general public expected that bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey would steamroll through her opponent, Holly Holm. Instead Holm shocked the world stunning Rousey with a punch followed by a head kick that knocked her out cold in the second round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With this highlight reel knockout, home pulled off one of the greatest upsets in MMA history to capture UFC gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 8, Lyoto Machida vs Vitor Belfort, UFC 224. The Dragon has a collection of incredible knockouts, but this one might take the cake. Facing Vitor Belfort at UFC 224, Machida hit him with a quick and lethal front kick in the second round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Belfort instantly hit the ground and was out before he even knew what hit him. You know a knockout is so devastating when the person who hit it bows down and prays in front of the person who received it. But let's not forget, this wasn't the first time he pulled off a front kick knockout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heavyweight Marko Krokop was famous for his kicks, so much so that a phrase, right kick hospital, left kick cemetery, was coined to describe his style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, he was on the receiving end of a devastating kick from his opponent, Gabriel Gonzaga, at UFC 70. In the very first round, Gonzaga hit Crow Cop with a head kick and he hit the floor like a ragdoll. While it was already determined that the winner would face then-Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture, Gonzaga couldn't have done a better job showing why he deserved a title shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this UFC fight night, Joaquin Buckley pulled off something straight out of an action movie. After his kick was caught by Impa Kasanagani, he still made sure to hit him in the craziest way possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The back kick broke the internet, and Buckley put himself on notice, cementing himself as one of the UFC's most exciting new prospects. To no one's surprise, it earned him an accolade for the UFC's knockout of the year. We'd be hard pressed to see a knockout as wonderfully executed as this in the next few years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 5, Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo, UFC 194. Arguably one of the biggest and most highly promoted bouts in UFC history. Irish superstar Conor McGregor was ready to take on Jose Aldo to become the undisputed UFC featherweight champion of the world. Despite months of build up and anticipation, it didn't take McGregor too long to dismantle the Brazilian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In just 13 seconds, McGregor knocked out Aldo by way of a vicious left hook that hit him right on the chin. It was the fastest knockout in a UFC title fight and it further cemented McGregor's claim as one of, if not the biggest star on the UFC roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one expected this bout to go the distance, and rightfully so. At UFC 218, Francis Nganu cemented his place as one of the UFC's greatest knockout artists by landing this devastating uppercut on Aleister Overeem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ladders had practically bounced and as he fell to the ground Enganu landed another vicious shot for good measure. While Overeem later described the knockout as the uppercut from hell, it's been widely credited as what catapulted Enganu into superstardom and made him one of the UFC's most popular fighters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 3, Jorge Masvidal vs Ben Askren, UFC 239. The fastest knockout in UFC history, Jorge Masvidal demolished Ben Askren with his flying knee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 2, Edson Barboza vs Terry Adam, UFC 142. Now this one looks like it came straight out of a video game. At UFC 142, Edson Barboza had kicked the living daylights out of Terry Adam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was unconscious before he even hit the floor and Barboza didn't even bother to pursue him to land additional strikes. Landing the first ever spinning wheel kick knockout, Barboza had officially arrived in the UFC and staked his claim as a contender in the lightweight division. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Chuck Liddell vs Randy Couture, UFC 52.

[Assistant] In the second round of this fight, Dan Henderson landed an incredibly well-timed overhand on Michael Bisping's chin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one can't help think there was some motivation and pent-up aggression put into that shot. Henderson's signature punch often labeled as the H-bomb was so hard, Bisping couldn't even remember being hit.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gilles Villeneuve, the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Near the end of the qualifier session of this edition of the Belgian Grand Prix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gilles Villeneuve aimed to improve his position and lap time, so he attempted to cut another racer. There was clearly confusion as to which side he should complete the maneuver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He went right and hit the vehicle he attempted to pass. Vilnev's car flipped several times, and the subsequent impact was so devastating, it resulted in Vilnev being launched out of the vehicle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was rushed to the hospital, but hours later it was announced that he had passed away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Juul Bianchi, the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In F1 races, one crash often leads to another, but none have been under such unusual circumstances. During a lap of this race, as a result of weather conditions, Sauber's Adrian Soutil would go off the track and hit a wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A crane was used by marshals to remove the vehicle. During the removal process, Marusha's Jules Bianchi wound up driving directly into the crane. He was unconscious and was subsequently placed in intensive care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He later passed away as a result of the head injuries he sustained during the accident


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ronnie Peterson, the 1978 Italian Grand Prix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crashing the vehicle he was meant to drive at the race during a practice session, Team Lotus' Ronnie Peterson was forced to drive an older model instead. Along with his vehicle facing technical difficulties, the main race began as the flag was dropped before all the cars were in their respective positions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the first lap of this race, Romain Grosjean's vehicle clipped Daniel Kviat's Alfa Tori's left front wheel. Grosjean's car was sent reeling and crashed into a metal barrier. It was sliced in half and caught on fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite all odds, Grosjean was able to remove his race boot, escape the vehicle, and ultimately save himself. Surprisingly, he left relatively unscathed, having only suffered minor burns and spraining his left ankle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having only been inside the vehicle a mere 28 seconds after the crash had occurred, it is truly a miracle that he survived and was able to escape an almost certain fate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cannot die today. Alberto Ascari, the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trailing behind Sterling Moss in this race for the lead, Alberto Ascari was in luck when the engine of Moss' Mercedes broke down. The opportunity to take the lead however was missed, as Ascari's vehicle swerved out of control, crashed through a barrier and directly into the Mediterranean Sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The car sank, but fans breathed a sigh of relief when Ascati appeared on the surface. He was subsequently rescued and hauled out of the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite the harsh nature of the crash, Ascati came out of the whole ordeal with a broken nose and some bruises. On the second lap of the Italian Grand Prix race in 1961, two cars on the track came in contact with one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While one of the cars driven by Jim Clark came to a halt, the other, driven by Wolfgang von Tripps, was spinning out of control and struck a section of spectators.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Von Tripps was thrown out of the vehicle and did not survive the accident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite this horrific sequence of events, the race continued and Von Tripp's teammate, Phil Hill, went on to win the race. Some drivers only became aware of the crash and its severity after the race, leaving many to question why it had not been stopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nikki Lauda, the 1976 German Grand Prix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the greatest and biggest stars to ever get behind the wheel. This Austrian legend was involved in one of the most horrific accidents in F1 history. During the second lap of the race out of nowhere,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Laura's car swerved out of control and caught on fire. Several drivers and staff assisted in pulling Laura out of the vehicle. But despite escaping, he received severe burns all over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though he was in critical condition and went into a coma, Laura remarkably survived the ordeal and would make an incredible comeback after six weeks. And he later went on to win two more world titles. Ronnie Ratzenberger, the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During a qualifying session of the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994, the nose wing of this 31-year-old's vehicle had gotten detached. The car subsequently went off the track and slammed directly into a barrier. Ratzenberger had suffered a skull fracture so severe, he was pronounced dead shortly after medical staff arrived at the site of the crash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worst of all, many believe the tragedy could have been prevented, as Ratzenberger was aware of the issue with his vehicle, but opted to complete another lap instead. Unfortunately, this wouldn't be the last tragedy to take place at the 1994 Grand Prix in San Marino.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ayrton Senna, the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On lap seven of the main race, resilient and three-time champ Ayrton Senna had taken a comfortable lead over Benetton's Michael Schumacher. At one point coming up on the corner, he attempted to make a turn, only for his vehicle to skid off the track and crash into a wall. The accident was so devastating, the car's front wheel and nose were torn off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Betting leaders are suspected of bribing players, coaches, referees and other officials to fix game.

[Assistant] Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 conspiracy theories in sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For this list we'll be looking at the weirdest and most shocking rumors that have plagued athletes, organizers, and coaches for years to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you believe any of the speculated scandals in our list? Let us know below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 10. The Battle of the Gambling Dead Famously known as the Battle of the Sexes, fresh off winning the first tennis match against Margaret Court, 55-year-old Bobby Riggs was set to take on 29-year-old Billie Jean King. With the world's media watching, King destroyed Riggs in three sets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because apparently a man losing to a younger, better woman was impossible, people began to speculate that Riggs had thrown the match on purpose. As he was known to be a prolific gambler, rumors came out that to clear a massive debt to the mafia, Riggs rigged the event in King's favor. He denied this theory for the rest of his days, stating that he underestimated King and overestimated himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 9. Spygate Destruction. In 2007, the New England Patriots and the NFL were embroiled in a scandal that the Massachusetts franchise has struggled to shake ever since. The team was found using a camera to capture the New York Jets defensive plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rumor has it that during the investigation, NFL officials arrived at the Patriots' headquarters and destroyed various tapes quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition, it is said that they also discovered a treasure trove of illegal recordings by the Patriots, going as far back as the 2001 AFC Championship game victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers and their Super Bowl victory over the then St. Louis Rams the same year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the Boston Herald, who reported these findings, issued a retraction soon after. Many believe the harsher punishment over Deflategate was to make up for lack of consequences stemming from Spygate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coming into the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final, fans and pundits were excited to see Brazil's wonder kid Ronaldo face France's star-studded defense. Instead, 72 minutes before kickoff, Ronaldo was left out of the lineup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, 30 minutes later, he was mysteriously back in the side. As confirmed by the player and Brazil's doctor, hours before, Ronaldo had a seizure and was taken to hospital for tests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After passing them he was put back on the team. However, that hasn't stopped conspiracy theories from coming out. Some speculate that Ronaldo was poisoned to destroy Brazil's chances of lifting the trophy. Another believes that Nike, who had large financial ties to the nation, and Ronaldo pressured management to play the iconic striker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 7. Tribute win. In February 2001, NASCAR lost Dale Earnhardt, one of the greatest legends in the sport, when he suffered a fatal crash at the Daytona 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By July, Dale Earnhardt Jr., a racer in his own right, took part in the Pepsi 400 on the same track that lost his father. Earnhardt put in an amazing performance and won the emotional race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But instead of focusing on the achievements, some people, including fans and journalists, were suspicious. They speculated that NASCAR had rigged the race for Earnhardt by giving his car an advantage with the use of the rules. Others believe the other drivers may have taken pity on him, allowing him to get ahead. Earnhardt was understandably furious at the accusations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in August 1997, amid achieving this stunning MLB record, conspiracy theorists went into overtime. Before facing the Seattle Mariners, the game was called off due to electrical problems at the stadium. Immediately rumors circulated that the Orioles had purposely tampered with the electrics as Ripken was unable to play, which would have ended his streak early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They claim he had gotten into a fight with actor Kevin Costner as he had apparently had an affair with the baseball star's wife. The only issue with this is Ripken who was seen at the stadium before the game was called off, ready to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 5. Protecting the Penguins In 2005, the Pittsburgh Penguins won the lottery for the NHL draft and got the first pick. So, they selected one of the most talked about prospects in recent history, Sidney Crosby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After nearly going bankrupt, the lottery win couldn't have come at a better time for the Penguins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, once Crosby joined the team, they soon became one of the NHL's most dominant teams. Naturally, with better play, they went to secure a deal for a new arena. But speculation regarding the team's convenient position in the draft raised some conspiracy eyebrows. They believed the NHL had taken pity on the Penguins and had boosted their draft chances to stop them from going out of business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the 1995 Rugby World Cup, New Zealand was one of the favorites to lift the prestigious trophy. After all, they decimated Japan in the pool stage 17-145. Armed with a team featuring icons like Jonah Lamu and captain Sean Fitzpatrick, the All Blacks found themselves in the finals against host South Africa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, New Zealand narrowly lost 15-12. The day before the match, 21 out of 26 of their players contracted food poisoning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 3. The Phantom Punch. For the most iconic images in sport, the triumphant Muhammad Ali standing over the fallen Sonny Liston in their second bout in 1965 would certainly be up there. But this match has caused controversy alongside its historic nature. Halfway through the first round, Liston suddenly went down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many in attendance and watching at home didn't see Ali's strike that took out the fearsome boxer and believe something fishy had occurred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shortly afterwards, in a move that shocked many, he signed a deal with the minor league baseball side, the Chicago White Sox.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By 1995, Jordan returned to the Bulls. Although Jordan claimed he switched to baseball to honor his late father, some believe it was for another reason. Before his retirement, Jordan was earning a reputation for being a serious gambler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He admitted paying $57,000 for one debt and author Richard Esquinas claimed Jordan reportedly owed him $1.25 million from a game of golf. This led to the idea that the NBA had secretly suspended Jordan from the league and him playing baseball serving as a guise.

[Assistant] In 1985, the NBA introduced the draft lottery to make things more fair for teams. But instead of bringing order, it stirred controversy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many also found it bizarre how Stern was visibly exhaling before taking the envelope. Another theory suggests that the envelope was purposely creased in the corner so that the commissioner knew it belonged to New York.

[Assistant] And then we followed, watched the ambulance going to the hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the ambulance was traveling virtually at walking pace, which meant either a broken back or death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can understand how the car ran so good that it sprang the question, but uh, with NASCAR where it is today, I mean, that'd be a fool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's absolutely awesome. It's so many adjectives. Wonderful, joyous, beautiful, a miracle. It's just what everyone in Chicagoland deserved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For this list, we'll be looking at the wildest brawls in MLB history. From clearing the benches to charging the mound, these fights stood out as the craziest of all time. Did we miss your favorite baseball fight? Let us know in the comments below!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 10. Tyler Austin vs. Joe Kelly Like most baseball fights, this one started from one slight that festered into a huge blow-up. Making his way to second, Yankee Tyler Austin pulled off a controversial slide that put the Red Sox in a fighting mood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fair to say if you mouth off on the diamond, you should prepare to tussle. On his next at bat, Austin got a less than surprising rebuttal from the opposing team's pitcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This sent the player into a rage, charging pitcher Joe Kelly and emptying the benches for a second time. Even if the dugouts empty out once, there's nothing stopping both clubs from doing it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For this edgy matchup, it was clear that each squad was just waiting for an excuse to rumble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number nine, Tencent Beer Night. This 1974 game between Cleveland and Texas remains infamous for its connection to this promotional campaign. With drunk fans loading up on cheap beer, Cleveland Stadium wasn't prepared for the chaos that happened next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After several instances of fans rushing the field and throwing firecrackers, the tense game hit its peak when the Rangers tried to protect their outfielder, Jeff Burrows from an unruly spectator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the bat-wielding players took the field, so did a swarm of fans armed with their own weapons. A full-scale riot stopped the game, with police called in to stop it, leading to a forfeit and several arrests. This baseball fight was one of the most memorable instances of fan participation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nine RBI's in that Tiger series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Dodging one pitch, Bell receives another wild ball at his head. Charging the mound, the White Sox batter books it towards Sealy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The move looked straight out of a hockey game and what undoubtedly caught the rage-filled batter by surprise. Protecting his pitcher, the first baseman's split-second maneuver only drew the ire of White Sox teammates looking for revenge. While this prompted both rosters to rush the field, it could have been a lot worse. This is one MLB fight that was saved by the likes of quick thinking and a little improvisation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's no secret that most MLB brawls happen after a pitch connects with a batter. Things weren't any different when Tino Martinez took the plate and got clocked by pitcher Armando Benitez.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Yankees bench gets up before the two can even reach each other, with the Orioles dug out following suit. At this point, most baseball fights fizzle out as they await an official call from the umpire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, this altercation was only getting started. Not only does the melee start back up, it spills into one of the dugouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there was any doubt that both teams were carrying grudges, the endless punching put that uncertainty to bed. Following a number of ejections, this melee was the definition of out of control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 6. Yankees vs Red Sox. In a particularly memorable bout between rivals, Yankees runner Lou Pennella and Carlton Fisk got into it after a brutal play at home plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Fisk blocking the lane, Panela hit the catcher like a Mack truck. Naturally this didn't sit well with the Red Sox player as he swung at his Yankee rival.
