That's the rumor, and it makes sense. Fights happen on every team... I think 1 game out is the right move.
thanks for the info. IMO it depends when and where it happens (the fight) on the practice field, heck stuff happens. In the locker room, its a bigger deal, and if its at night someplace, even bigger deal.
Franklin did publicly say there had been a fight at practice, he wasn't that concerned about it though obviously it's not something they want to happen. He did not publicly say who was involved in the fight but the Brown/Mahon story certainly has the ring of truth.
Franklin made a comment I believe in usual weekly practice interview something like yea, we even had a fight. That would seem to suggest it was at practice and he didn't appear concerned.
Yeah he was clear that it was at practice and that it didn't bother him that much. He was talking at the same PC about how he wants the OL to get nastier. So ... he has to punish those guys, he can't be saying it's OK to fight at practice. But he wants OL to be nasty and aggressive.
Franklin just seems to handle all these things so well. His pattern is to talk softly and carry a big stick. He is 95% positive in his comments, he praises publicly and criticizes almost entirely in private. And when players get suspended, whcih is essentially what happened in this case, he says very little about it.
Franklin's messages about discipline are sent with action, not with words. It is very very clear if these guys break the rules, they don't play. So.... this team follows the rules.
That's what I should have also followed up with ... I had heard it was at practice, and that's what I was referring to when I said that happens.
Like said above, if it happens at night.. way different scenario. But at practice? Hell, I've been on teams where that's happens -- guys are competitive and sometimes it blows up. Happens.

ok but why would Mahon and Brown be in a position to fight. What I mean is, once the season starts the first and second O's normally dont go against anybody but the scout team, which would be at least the third string D, red shirts etc. I did not think Brown would be on the scout team, but who knows. Plus most scout teamers are smart enough to know not to fight with the first team, because relative to discipline, the scout teamer is going to lose (most times).
Not doubting the story, just make you wonder how they got hooked up.
I heard Brown was not using tongs when going for a donut after practice, and Mahon called him out on it. (Those defensive guys are animals)
Ba Bing. Laugh ofthe week - and it's only Monday
I heard he double dipped a chip, it's like putting your whole mouth in the dip.
