Much like Dave Chappelle’s impression of Rick James, even NFL players can be guilty of having too much fun. That was the case on Sunday as two NFL players were tossed for losing their heads.
The first ejection was in the Panthers-Bucs game. Clifton Smith was back to return a punt for the Bucs when Dante Wesley blew him up before the ball came down. Smith suffered a concussion and was unable to speak after the game due to the impact on his throat. It was clearly far too early and far too vicious of a hit on a defenseless player. Panthers coach John Fox tried to spin the situation by saying it was unintentional. Come on, guy.
James Ihedigbo of the Jets earned the second ejection of the day when he punched Buffalo tight end Derek Fine. It looks like Fine threw the first real punch. The Jets actually could have had two players sent to the showers since Marques Murrell appeared to land a punch before Ihedigbo swung.
