Here's a little something for all you people who enjoy watching someone get knocked out with one punch:
That's Barry Hall, star forward for the Sydney Swans of the Australian Football League. In last weekend's Swans v. West Coast Eagles match, Hall put a ferocious left hook on Eagles defender Brent Staker, effectively knocking Staker out of the game.
Hall is expected to receive a lengthy suspension from the AFL. Perhaps he could use that time to reconsider his career path. "Big Bad Barry" has a history as a boxer, and one boxing agent in Australia suggested that Hall could make up to AU$10 million in Australia alone if he quit Aussie Rules and took up boxing. With his punching ability and his trademark toughness -- which is also shown in this video -- Hall looks like he could have quite a career in either boxing or mixed martial arts.
Maybe after his $600,000-a-year deal with Sydney is up in 2009, Hall should look into it. He'd certainly bring the AFL more worldwide publicity than, say, Sav Rocca.

"I am annoyed about the constant and substantial excesses which have blighted sport for years - particularly in football," 
A wonderful secret finally came to light today thanks to the latest British Medical Journal. Australian Rules footballers will drink anything. That's the hypothesis today as it was revealed that a 24-year-old Adelaide man (not pictured) swallowed a beer cap in celebration of his teams amateur victory in the footballing sport of the debtor's prison.
