    It's September, and you know what? Fans of professional football should be quite happy about that. But, wow, week 1 of the NFL season was not without some drama ... fan fight drama. The best of which was a ridiculous fight that took place among some, um, passionate Oakland Raiders fans.

    It got so extreme, in fact, that cops had to get involved, and naturally, there's a video (and some awkwardly hilarious high-res images) of the whole thing.

    Granted, the Raiders lost to the San Diego Chargers on Monday Night Football, and the team hasn't won a Super Bowl since 1983 -- perhaps their fans really do have something to get pissed about. But this pissed? To the point where a woman, who was about to get handcuffed, raises her free fist to whack a cop, then nearly falls off the balcony as she's getting restrained? Lesson learned, though it's something most NFL lovers are aware of: Don't mess with Raiders fans.

    What is it with all these adults stealing foul balls and other sports memorabilia meant for little children?! I don't get it! If a player is approaching your section and there's a small child in the vicinity, and the player throws something aimed at said small child, it isn't meant for you! Step aside and let the young fan have their moment (and souvenir!). WTH, adults?!

    The latest? During last Wednesday's Marlins-Brewers game, Norichika Aoki of the Brewers tossed a ball toward a little boy and a little girl in the stands. Yes, he aimed his toss at two small children. I bet you can guess what happens next.

    A grown man proceeded to step in front of the two kids and make a grab for the ball. He then ran off with the ball smiling, and the little girl leaves us with one of the most priceless reactions I've ever seen.

    Because of course there's a video of the whole ordeal.

    This isn't what I look like on Sundays but whatever ...It's that time of year again! No, not back to school, not the changing of the weather and leaves, not the time to stop wearing white. Tonight is the kickoff to the 2012 NFL season!

    The defending Super Bowl champs, the New York Giants, will be taking on the Dallas Cowboys at 8:30 p.m. ET. So, it's a little weird to be watching football on a Wednesday night, but I'm stoked that the time has finally come.

    As a football fan who's a woman to boot, there are a lot of things to look forward to over the next few months. Don't believe me? Eyes hurt from rolling? The only thing you can think about is your significant other staring into the TV and ignoring you every weekend? Well, read on, and hopefully this will help you get a little bit excited about what's to come.

    Ugh. As a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, who bleeds black and gold, I cannot even begin to tell you how sad seeing this photo makes me. I just know that all you Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals fans are practically drooling due to all the funny jokes and mockery you can come up with regarding how absolutely terrible this tattoo is.

    Errr ... maybe we can call it "art"? Plenty of other folks are trying to justify, um, whatever this is. Like, maybe it's some kind of statement on the, er, sloppy, rather dark history of the Steel City? Perhaps there's a kid involved who drew out the sketch? All I have to say is, this guy, who "fancies himself a tattoo artist," better have been super, super drunk to come up with this abomination. And then permanently etch it onto his skin.

    Might as well make it official: 25-year-old Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic is one awesome dude. The second seeded player was practicing for the U.S. Open, and while the practice was mostly quiet and not all that enthralling, suddenly a young voice from the crowd pierced the silence:

    "Djokovic! Will you marry me?!"

    Those in attendance burst out into laughter, and then Djokovic did the last thing I think anyone expected him to do. He stopped practicing, laughed, and headed to the stands to chat with the boy. Then, just as unexpectedly, he invited the young fan to serve a few tennis balls and finally gave him a big ol' hug.

    Awwww. After this and watching Djokovic dancing with a lawn mower for the fans, I think I figured out who I'm cheering for at the Open now!

    David Beckham statueIf you live in a major metropolis, and are having an all-around really crappy day, you know what might brighten your spirits right up? Walking by a statue of David Beckham clad only in underwear. All right, so in my opinion, it kind of doesn't even look like him, but ohhh, shiny, and thankfully it doesn't leave much to the imagination. There's even a prize involved, which makes the whole thing that much more exciting.

    David's such a hottie sports icon, and if you ask me, seeing the LA Galaxy Star in that speed boat in the Opening Ceremonies at the Olympics was definitely a highlight of the entire thing. Dude looked fine. And if you live in New York, L.A., and San Francisco, you can see him up close and personal in silver form, which is just as good, right?

    Ryan LochteYou guys, it's official: Ryan Lochte is taking over. Everything. It seems that ever since the 28-year-old upset Michael Phelps in that first Olympic race, the men's 400 IM final, we simply can't get enough of him. Not only is he an 11-time Olympic medalist, he's ridiculously good-looking too. Hell, this guy has made headlines for admitting to peeing in the pool.

    From starting his own clothing line to talks about making apperances on The Bachelor and Dancing With the Stars to numerous video parodies to creating his own language ... we thought we'd do a quick roundup of the ways Ryan is planning on continuing to invade all of our lives post-Olympics. OMG, I think we've got the next Kim Kardashian on our hands! I'm just waiting for the sex tape. Seriously, take a look and see for yourself.

    Matt Treanor watching Misty from Dodgers' clubhouseSo I really hope that you all tuned in to watch the final, amazing match between Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh Jennings vs. fellow Americans April Ross & Jennifer Kessy. K&M won their third gold Olympic medal and are pretty much the best team ever in all of sports and so totally badass that you can't help but be infatuated with their story.

    Though Kerri's family was in attendance, Dodgers' player Matt Treanor couldn't be there in London due to the fact that, well, it's baseball season. He had to watch her win in the Dodgers' clubhouse on a small laptop screen!

    And not only that, he made no secret on how he gets super emotional and gushes over his wife and her amazing accomplishments. After watching him talk about her, I now think they're officially the cutest couple in sports.

    So, now that Michael Phelps has ended his ridiculously amazing Olympic career as the best swimmer in the entire world that ever was, it's about time we move on to more important things: his love life. As the most decorated Olympian of all time (winning a ridiculous 22 medals in his storied career) with some of the best abs in sports, there was probably no doubt in anyone's mind that he would have no problem snagging a ladyfriend. Well, now we finally know who she is.

    Enter Megan Rossee, who, shockingly enough, hold the phone, what's this, this is insane, say what, is a ridiculously hot blonde model/cocktail waitress.

    So who is this girl, what do we know about her, do we care? Of course we do! It wouldn't be America if we didn't worship and obsess over celebrities and their personal lives! So let's delve into it, shall we?

    A 36-year-old Lithuanian accountant, Petras Lescinskas, who sports a bald head and beard, is making Olympic history. But not for any good reason, unfortunately. He is the first person convicted of a racially aggravated offense at the London Games.

    Crazy, right? Apparently this guy Lescinskas was part a disgusting group of Lithuanian basketball fans who took it upon themselves to make monkey chants during their country's match against Nigeria. Then he had the audacity to stand up and make a Nazi salute -- placing his fingers across his lips. His defense was "it is common practice in his country to celebrate in this way and it is something he has been doing for some time." Um, yeah right.

    There is actually a law saying you can't do shiz like this, specifically "any crime that has or may have an impact upon the effective delivery or image of the Games." So clearly he violated this and deserves his punishment. Go Great Britain!
