I'm talking specifically about the Raiders/Seahawks incident on MNF a month or so ago, and the stomping incident this year. You're right, for the most part, fights in the NFL amount to quick cheap shots that don't continue. Probably because they're wearing pads.

That said, the University of Miami put everyone (including the Pistons, Pacers, Knicks, and Nuggets) to shame this fall. They set the bar pretty high for brawling.
