Sideline Chatter: This hurricane came with hugs

Not all of ex-rassler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's fights were fake ones.

Once, the actor said, he got into a scuffle with Miami Hurricanes teammate (and still friend) Kevin Patrick.

"Me and Kevin were in a coach's office, and he was talking (stuff), as always, but this time I just lost it," Johnson told Sports Illustrated. "It was like a movie fight _ the desk got turned over, stuff was flying all over the place. We spilled out onto the weight-room floor, still going at it. ...

"I decided to pull his tongue out, but I couldn't quite get a hold of it. Eventually I gave up, the fight ended, and two minutes later we were hugging each other. It was so dumb."
