Video: Channing Crowder/Matt Light Fight, Ejected for Hair Pulling
Larry Brown Sports —
Every time I see an NFL player with long hair, I wonder how they play like that, and I also wonder how they don’t have their hair yanked at all times. I don’t consider it dirty — I just consider it a part of the jersey. Now my idea of grabbing hair differs from Matt Light’s. He did it to Channing Crowder when the two rumbled in the 4th quarter of the Pats/Dolphins game on Sunday. Here’s how the whole thing shook out:
I’m not quite sure which fight was gnarlier — this, or the John Henderson ...
Matt Light Fight with Channing Crowder Video
The Critical Fanatic —
Outstanding NFL fight yesterday between Matt Light and Channing Crowder. Well, I wouldn’t so much as say Crowder was fighting as much as he was taking a beating from Matt Light. Hey, when you’ve got that kind of hair, it’s fair game to take any and all abuse. Watch the fight above ...
"This is Not Hockey"
Off Wing Opinion —
"This is Not Hockey" When Miami's Channing Crowder and New England's Matt Light got into a fight in the middle of the Patriots-Dolphins game Sunday everyone knew that they were going to be ejected. As Dan Dierdorf put it, "When punches get traded in the National Football League somebody is leaving...this is not tolerated, this is not hockey." You have to love how every time there's a fight in a sporting event the reference goes right to hockey. Although in hockey that would have been considered a beatdown by Light. And using Crowder's dreadlocks to pull his head into the punches? Quality. Trackback Pings TrackBack URL for this entry: ...
Is no news good news for Crowder?
The Phinsider —
On NFL Total Access tonight, Adam Schefter reported that the league has not yet made a decision on either Channing Crowder and Matt Light regarding their little fight on Sunday. But both players were ejected from the game, meaning at least a fine is likely.
However, Schefter points out that the league generally likes to suspend players earlier in the week so that teams can prepare to play without one of their players. So is the fact that neither has been suspended as of now a good sign for Crowder? I'm led to believe that it is - though news could still break at any time between now and the end of the week.
I'd say we'll likely ...

Football Today: Light reportedly won't face suspension for fight
Projo Pats Blog —
The Boston Herald is making a report that should be a relief for Patriots fans who hope their team can keep the ferocious Steelers pass rush out of Matt Cassel's face: Left tackle Matt Light will not be suspended for his fight with the Dolphins' Channing Crowder, so Light will be available to try to stop the blitzes of Pittsburgh stud James Harrison. Light and Crowder will instead both pay $15,000 fines, the Herald reports. Here's a video of the Light-Crowder battle. Thanks to the ever-insightful Dan Dierdorf for pointing out that "this isn't hockey." Really? ABOUT THAT PASS RUSH: Light or no Light, the Patriots will have their hands full with the Steelers, ...

FanIQ Blog —
The NFL continues to do its darndest to be as arbitrary as humanly possible when it comes to fining and suspending guys. The word today from Adam Schefter of the NFL Network is that Matt Light and Channing Crowder were both fined $15,000 for this fight on the field from this past Sunday ...
Light Put Pats In Precarious Situation
Comcast SportsNet New England » Wicked Good Sports —
After the Patriots knocked off the Dolphins in Miami on Sunday, they moved themselves into contention for a run at the playoffs while dealing a blow – possibly fatal – to Miami’s hopes. Knowing that their season could be unraveling before their eyes late in the game, some Dolphins players became unglued themselves.
The most obvious moment came in the fourth quarter with a little over seven minutes remaining in the game, there was an altercation between Patriots offensive lineman Matt Light and Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder after a Patriots field goal. The kick, a 30-yard strike by Stephen ...
Tale of Johnson and Johnson, plus much more
Cincy Jungle —
For Brandon Johnson, is the best yet to come? On August 2, I wrote following the Bengals Friday scrimmage that Brandon Johnson "continues to shine closing the window for Keith Rivers to make the starting lineup." Little has changed, aside from being demoted for a highly talented, much anticipated rookie linebacker from USC; though I argued that Johnson should be given opportunities to play, maybe moving him to SAM. Like then, Brandon Johnson has stepped up while Keith Rivers was sidelined (this time, a broken jaw). Johnson is a keeper. Dating back to the first game against the Steelers, Johnson has recorded 33 ...
The NFL - Where Inexplicable Fines Happen
Complain In Vain —
This past Sunday, Patriots’ lineman Matt Light got into an altercation with Dolphins’ linebacker Channing Crowder. Crowder’s helmet was ripped off, then Light proceeded to land about 3 haymakers on the head of Crowder. Check here for the video. ...
Crowder vs. Light
Pats Pulpit —
I have tried, lord knows I have tried to stay out of this. I want to let the punishment and the fines from the NFL speak for themselves. I want to continue the excellent discussions we've been having with fans of our upcoming rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers. I really do want to do that, but I can't. Feeding the flames is not my style; live and let live is my usual mantra. However, people have blinders on and are only looking at the last 3 seconds of the Crowder vs. Light "interaction". In order to give you a more objective view, I present to you...the video: ...
Turkey's of the Year
The Phinsider —
Blatantly stole this idea from PTI earlier today, so nobody has to point that out lol.
Since this is the beginning of the holiday season, I wanna take a look back at all the people who have made us laugh, made us angry, or made us just plain thankful that we aren't as stupid as them. Anybody is eligible, and I'm basically just here to get this topic started. I can't possibly get everyone, but here's just a sampling.
Brett Favre - His retirement before the season was a joke. And dragging it out for 46 months was just annoying.
Pacman Jones - He's a Human Suspension. Can't stay out of trouble, even ...
Much Ado About Something…
The Dolphin Pod —
The Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder and New England Patriots tackle Matt Light each received a fine on Wednesday of $15,000 each for their altercation in Sunday’s game. Neither player was suspended. Take a look:
Now, how is it exactly that Crowder gets the same fine and punishment as Light? Light attempted to beat the crap out of Crowder and all Crowder did was push him away after Light knocked his helmet off. Light proceeded to hold Crowder by the hair ...
Channing Crowder Just Owned Rex Ryan
Obsessed With Sports —
RexRyan Last week Rex Ryan had something to say in regards to an AFC East opponent; ”I don’t know this Channing Crowder. All I know is that he’s all tatted up, so I guess I ought to be nervous about him. The other thing is I think he’s wrong because I do think you win in June. I think you win with your preparation and all that kind of stuff. If I was younger, I’d probably handle him myself.” channing crowder Yesterday Crowder rebutted; ”Oh, Lord have mercy. What’s wrong with him? Now he’s talking about preparation? We play them twice this year. If he wants to be prepared, shouldn’t he know the starting middle linebackers of his division rival? ‘He says he’d take ...
Who ever said a little fighting was a bad thing?
LEEInks —
As WEEI.com’s Alex Speier writes in Friday’s feature article, today marks the fifth anniversary of “perhaps the most important regular-season win in franchise history”: the much heralded Red Sox-Yankees, Varitek/A-Rod melee that ended with a Bill Mueller game-winning homerun off Mariano Rivera in the bottom of the ninth, ultimately propelling the Sox to their first World Series championship in 86 years. Coincidentally, today also marks 26 years since George Brett’s notorious “Pine Tar Incident” at Yankee Stadium. ...
