Teamwork

Followed a link on Deadspin to this story at Sports Frog about team bonding gone horribly wrong.

Now, this story involves a soccer team, but it is a British soccer team, that's what makes it entertaining.

"There had been a lot of drinking and everyone was enjoying themselves. But it all went wrong when Craig tried to drag John up for a song. There was a karaoke competition going on, but John's a quiet one off the pitch and wasn't having it at all.

"It started off as a bit of a lark with some of the other lads having a go but then it got completely out of hand. John went ballistic because Craig wouldn't take no for an answer. He was screaming at Craig to leave him alone, saying he wouldn't do it and yelling insults.

"Everyone was completely stunned by it because they were really having a go, standing there toe to toe swearing at each other.
...
"It was really late, about 2am, and the players eventually started drifting off to bed. But Craig, who was sharing with Steve Finnan, was so wound up he couldn't sleep.

"He suddenly grabbed a golf club and went looking for John. And when he found him he waded in, hacking at his legs with the club."

Makes sense to me. At least sense as 2am tipsy logic outside a Karoke bar...in Portugal. Did I mention this was a Karoke bar in Portugal? The whole story is HERE.
