Players on the same team fighting (Dyer & Bowyer)
Has anyone come across shenanigans like this in other sports? You keep hearing people say they've never seen anything like it over here!

Newcastle pair Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer were sent off in disgrace for fighting during their side's 3-0 home defeat against Aston Villa.
Dyer and Bowyer exchanged blows in the middle of the Newcastle half three minutes after Villa had gone 3-0 up.

The pair later appeared alongside manager Graeme Souness to apologise for their conduct, but pointedly did not say sorry to each other.

2. There's been some skirmishes here
Every so often there's a scuffle on an NFL sideline or a MLB bench but not like the all out fistfight those two had.

3. Absolutely. NBA.
Blazer Zach Randolph broke teammate Ruben Patterson's eyesocket with a sucker punch. It wasn't during a game, but still, the Blazers lead all professional sports in dysfunction.
