What the hell is wrong with ESPN those irresponsible M Fers. they have a headline about the fight the other day literally saying "after players throw punches in practice". No punches were thrown by all accounts. It's totally ignorant and stupid journalism on their part. What Shanahan said is he draws the line at any punches thrown, meaning that is not tolerated.
Could've swore I read they swung at each other IN THEIR FACE MASK
i swear a espn teaser also said,,, oh,, some niner guys may be on the sidelines. like warner. cuz of the fight.. maybe i am wrong,, but knowing how much they hate us.. would not shock me.. now i think they did swing at each other as krizay said.... it was actually kind of a big deal internally but sounds like they solved it.. which they can not control how much the media blows it up
From Lombardi's summary of practice that day:
After an early reception, Aiyuk took exception to what he apparently deemed excessive contact from Warner and other 49ers' defenders. He went after Warner. Both players wrestled to the ground as several teammates, including freshly extended receiver Deebo Samuel, pushed and shoved into the scuffle.
They eventually managed to separate Warner and Aiyuk. But a few minutes later, Warner popped receiver Marcus Johnson after a catch on a crossing pattern. Aiyuk, who wasn't even in for that play, charged in to confront Warner. He squared up with both fists, as did Warner.
Several teammates, most prominently linebackers Azeez Al-Shaair and Dre Greenlaw and defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, quickly converged on Aiyuk and Warner before they could throw punches. That ignited a brief brawl that again sent Aiyuk and Warner — both of whom still had helmets on — to the turf.
Sounds like they were close to blows but it didn't get that far.
like i said..... i may have been wrong
