Now that you've put it that way, so as to make me think about the actual
action, I'm reminded more of a football game where one of the stats that
the commentators threw up for the TV audience included fights, punches
thrown, and punches thrown by defensive coordinators. (That was the night
I decided I hated Buddy Ryan.) The players had to pull the defensive
coordinator off the offensive coordinator. It was ugly.
