Ditka and Ryan (nearly) Come to Blows in Miami, 'Punt 'Bama Punt', and Patrick Roy hung out to dry - This DiSH for Dec. 2

In 1985, after the Miami Dolphins put 31 points on the Chicago Bears, Head Coach Mike Ditka and Defensive Coordinator Buddy Ryan may or may not have come to blows in a dispute at half.

In 1972, Auburn blocked two punts and returned them for touchdowns in the fourth quarter to turn a 16-0 deficit into a 17-16 win in the Iron Bowl.

In 1950, Navy snapped Army's 28-game winning streak preventing the Cadets a National Title in the process.

In 1995, the Detroit Red Wings scored 9 goals on Montreal Canadiens goalie Patrick Roy in less than two periods. Roy was not happy getting embarrassed and demanded a trade.

In 2000, golfer Joe Daley had a disastrous triple bogey on the 17th hole of the final round of PGA Tour qualifying. His putt for double bogey hit the back of the cup and popped out. He missed getting his tour card by one shot.
