BRAWL BREAKS OUT AT DOLPHINS CAMP
Posted by Michael David Smith on August 14, 2008, 11:44 a.m.
It’s the last day of training camp for the Miami Dolphins, and it appears that tempers have reached a boil.

Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that a brawl broke out involving several players at this morning’s practice.

The fight started on what looked like a routine play, with cornerback Will Allen covering receiver David Kircus on a deep pass. But it quickly became far from routine, as, Salguero writes, “Allen began punching on Kircus who fell to the turf and basically went into a fetal position as Allen stood over him.”

(It’s surprising that Kircus didn’t fight back. Apparently Kircus only punches people when he’s at the end of their driveways.)

But even though Kircus didn’t want the fight to escalate, other Dolphins did. Once Allen stopped pummeling Kircus, he started to walk back toward the line of scrimmage. That’s when an offensive player decided to go after Allen and began to punch him. Salguero says no one is sure which offensive player went after Allen; depending on which reporter you ask it was either Reagan Mauia, or Anthony Fasano, or Sean Ryan or Boomer Grigsby.

And it still wasn’t over after that unidentified offensive player went after Allen. A bunch of defensive players rushed in to help Allen, and then some offensive players joined in, and a full-fledged rumble was going on, and all the coaches could do was blow their whistles.

The fight eventually broke up, and practice was restored. Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post reports that Kircus wanted no part of Allen, and that Kircus was the last player to leave the practice field.

Initial indications are that no one was injured in the brawl. We’ll see whether Dolphins coach Tony Sparano follows the precedent set by Panthers coach John Fox and hands out any two-game suspensions.

Must have put too much mayo on Allen's sub.

Thank you I'm here all week, try the veal.

How can we know for certain that Kircus didn't want to fight? We need some sort of truth device.

Kircus must have made him a tainted sub. Food poisioning sucks.

Allen is in for a big hurting

Beantown Bronco · 08-14-2008, 11:49 AM

I'm sure Kircus knows that this could be his last chance and that he really needs to walk the straight and narrow from here on out. No sense throwing it all away in camp.

Shanny is on his way.

Kircus is going to uncork the whoop ass - Cold cut trio style.

Oh no I hope Allen isn't made of unframed drywall, he's the juggernaut!

DomCasual · 08-14-2008, 11:55 AM

Okay, so let's say Kircus has anger issues (he apparently does).

Let's say he's been getting help for them.

Let's say "playing possum" was just his way of indicating he wasn't going to fight. Like a recovering alcoholic that knows he can never have "just one drink," Kircus knows that the first punch opens up a Pandora's Box for him.

None of those assumptions are a stretch of the imagination, by any means.

So, maybe the kid needs the benefit of the doubt?

I'm just saying.

...or maybe he just got his ass kicked really quick.

Most real fights are won with a first hit/suprise. He could've genuinely been thrown into an "Oh ****" mode and gone down in self-preservation.

Could be either way but its much more funny IMHO to think that tuff guy has been turned into a girley man by a head shrinker

ColoradoBuff · 08-14-2008, 12:05 PM

Way to go Will Allen....put that subway sandwich making loser in his place. Watch him get cut by the freakin Fins......worst team in the NFL next to the Queefs and he'll prolly get cut. Guess there's always Subway!

I think the most likely scenario is that Kircus is merely baiting him, getting him suspended and then will be playing CB in place of Allen, then he will go to his house after hours, tell him "This is what I'm capable of", and then proceed to beat him mercilessly while simultaneously pleasuring his wife and tuning a guitar with his free foot.

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

(chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted sub you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted sub
Tainted sub

Northman · 08-14-2008, 12:12 PM

What i find funny is somebody on the offense actually went and defended him.

bowtown · 08-14-2008, 12:15 PM

This is all Chad Pennington's fault.

To be honest I'm sure I'm not the only poster who has ever been beaten into the fetal position. I could however be the only one who was beaten that way by a chick. In my defense those corn feed Iowa girls can really hold their own.
