Antwaan Randle El
January 5, 2003, at the AFC Wild Card playoffs. Antwaan Randle El, the receiver of Pittsburgh, had his head violently snapped back when the Cleveland Browns player Chris Akins (36) decided to grab El by the mask. The Browns would end up being beaten by The Steelers with a 36-33 victory throughout this AFC Wild Card Playoff match. Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field was the setting for this desperate instance of face masking. Let’s hope that no one tries a dangerous attack like this one anytime soon.

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield
June 28, 1997, at the Heavyweight Bout. Evander Holyfield grimaces in agony as Mike Tyson chomps a chunk out of his ear at the shocking conclusion of their 1997 heavyweight fight. In a brutal act of desperation at what seemed to be a losing effort for Tyson, the brutal boxer decided that nibbling on Holyfield’s ear was the only way out. Tyson was then fined $3 million and had his boxing license taken away for some time.
