Mildly amusing me today is (once again) Rugby League.

There was a Big Game last night. There were fisticuffs involved.

Blues skipper Paul Gallen says he punched Queensland's Nate Myles in the head as a mark of respect.
Full story, with video of the "vigorous discussion" at http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-06-0...cident/4736284

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:

Quote:
"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."
