I find video really displays the hit better. Here's a couple football guys getting laid out.

But to be honest, you don't get laid out in any sport like you do in hockey...

I miss both those sports...
Here's a hockey fight...a little off topic but it was great. I was at this game. Only like 5 or so but I still remember it. It was awesome, but the video kind of sucks...
