Don't Look Now, It's The Infamous "Kansas City Scuffle" Video

After exhausting the vast resources of Oregon Cycling Action with an extensive search of the endless internet, we are able to bring you this invaluable video of the now infamous "Kansas City Scuffle." (Disclaimer: Any similarity to another Midwest product, namely the "Super Bowl Shuffle" by the 1995 Chicago Bears' Shufflin' Crew [pictured] is purely coincidental).

In this video you'll see the feel good hits of the season! You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll see one Jerry-Springer-Lovin' American call it upon himself to try and add a little Versus Network-style extreme fighting 'tude to an otherwise perfectly good bike race. But enough already. Enjoy ... ...

Cyclo "Right" Cross, Followed By An Upper Cut

I've gotta admit, when I first read the following on Todd Wells' blog post about the U.S. National Cyclocross Championships in Kansas City, I thought maybe it was a joke:

"Hear that Myerson and Baker got in a fist fight out on the course. Didn't get to see it but I heard it happened right in front of Proctor and Gully. Saw Page's mechanic get jumped by two guys right after the race and punched in the face multiple times after being tackled on a bunch of Richard Sachs bikes."

But then I read the same damn thing on VeloNews.com, which posted a photo of the scuffle. And apparently there's video coming. And Richard Sachs is threatening a lawsuit. Oh my!

This should certainly help endear the sport to a more mainstream American audience. I foresee a big fat broadcasting deal with Versus next year. They love this kind of thing on that network. Mixed Martial Arts Cyclocross ... ... hmmmmm!
