Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Antonio Bryant reportedly fought with coach Bill Parcells during practice and was ejected by club security.
Witnesses who spoke on condition of anonymity told the The Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram in Wednesday's editions that the confrontation began when Bryant complained about his role as the team's third receiver and the number of repetitions he was getting during a drill.
Bryant got into separate arguments with receivers coach Todd Haley and Keyshawn Johnson. When Parcells told Bryant to stop, the third-year player took off his pads and jersey, slammed them to the ground and began to leave the practice field.
Sources told the Star-Telegram that Parcells picked up the jersey and threw it back at Bryant, who then threw it in the face of the approaching coach.
Bryant was then escorted out of practice by security personnel after several players jumped in to intervene.
I remember the same thing happening when I was coaching tee-ball.
