Mildly amusing me today is (once again) Rugby League.
There was a Big Game last night. There were fisticuffs involved.

That's at least three punches to the face. Penalty? One week's suspension - for the swinging arm in the tackle, not what happened afterwards.
More fun quotes:

"It's a compliment to him (Myles). He's a tough player and someone had to stand up to him."
Blues coach Laurie Daley backed up Gallen, praising the front rower for what he felt will become a defining piece of Origin history.
"That was a great Origin moment as far as I was concerned," he said.
Maroons coach Mal Meninga agreed with Daley, choosing not to read too much into the incident.
"It's Origin," he said. "We're comfortable with what happened."
