Vikings Lash Out At One Another (1 Viewer)

Back in 1995 or 1996

WR-Michael Westbrook & RB- Stephen Davis from the Washington Redskins

I didn't draft Davis for he just took the hits,westbrook went off on him. Now many years down Westbrook NFL dud & Davis well

M Westbrook beat him down. It was pathetic. S Davis was small back then, never expected him to become a productive lead back. Solid career, though. M Westbrook wasn't a bum his entire career, just most of it.

Uhhh, news flash...Stephen Davis was never small. Okay, maybe when he was a young kid in elementary school, but he was a FB at first and that within itself tells you that he wasn't small. Westbrook was proficient in martial arts, so I doubt he cared what the size was of the person he was hitting either. Westbrook was young minded, but had talent. He had the knack of always making a mistake (penalty or wrong route) at the exact wrong time.

Thanks for the news flash, sport. Pull up the video, S Davis added a lot of bulk after he was in the pros and was on smaller when he came out vs. his later years. And Westbrook didn't use any martial arts in that beatdown, he just pummeled him, champ.Wow, way to take a light subject and buzzkill the thing, ace. Guess you couldn't have anyone questioning your precious pinkskins.

Three words for you junior...Reading is fundamental! The point is Stephen Davis was never small, maybe he put on some weight as the years went on, but HE WAS NEVER SMALL. I also didn't say Westbrook used Martial Arts on him, I stated that he was proficient in Martial Arts. Thus, it goes to show that he was most likely confident in handling himself in any fight. If you took that time to read the post, instead of getting hot under the collar, you might have been able to actually understand it. The only thing I corrected you on was your point about him being small, which still is incorrect as Redman pointed out. Time to go run off and play duck duck goose with your lil friends while the rest of grown ups act civil.

You don't know what you're talking about. Westbrook - a big guy at 6'3", 220 lbs. - sucker punched Davis who was around 6'0" and 230 lbs.

That is what happened.

The Associated Press

August 20, 1997

.............The incident occurred shortly after Westbrook, Davis, Cris Dishman and Brian Mitchell were standing together on the sideline engaged in what appeared to be light-hearted conversation.

After the group broke up, Westbrook, who is 6-foot-3 and weighs 220 pounds, hit Davis (6-0, 234) in the face. Davis fell to the ground, with Westbrook punching him several times in the back of the head.

As Davis was on the ground, Dishman pulled Westbrook away and said: ``That was wrong, man,''

It was definitely a sucker punch. Not surprising, considering how soft the pinkskins were in those days.Pretty typical to see the thinskin fans all nit-picking on the details though to prove how smart they think they are. Glad to see things haven't changed much since thesedays.

Well, that would certainly be the argument to make if someone were as ignorant as you are. Carry on, Pee Wee.

isnt there video out there of this "fight"?

There was a much better video of the time showing the whole thing, but you can see a part of it
.#8 on sportscenter's most unsportsmanlike plays.

Call it frustration. Call it tempers flaring in the heat of battle. But what most of us simply call it is a fight.

That’s what happened in the locker room of the Vikings Wednesday after practice, according to several media reports, a dust-up serious enough for head coach Brad Childress to call a team meeting to address the matter.

According to those who were in the locker room at the time, the incident erupted between defensive end Erasmus James and running back Chester Taylor. While it was unclear what got the argument to turn physical, James threw a punch that hit Taylor in the right side of the face below his eye. Taylor then retaliated by throwing a chair at James that missed and inadvertently hit left tackle Bryant McKinnie, according to the Star Tribune. Taylor, who is very good friends with McKinnie, allegedly stopped the fight when he saw his friend had been hit with the chair.

During the open locker room media session Thursday, Taylor was seen sporting a black eye. Interestingly, James was added to the injury report with what was termed a shoulder injury. It is unclear whether the injury occurred during Wednesday’s practice or was the result of his altercation with Taylor. Sunday could be the first game James has played since tearing his left ACL in the second game of the 2006 season. Or he could continue to be deactivated.



So who actually got hit by the chair? Will this result in a tag team match for the belts?

Wow! McKinnie finally blocked something this season!!!

If I went against a guy that much bigger than me I'd start using chairs and going WWF style as well.

My first thought as well.
