Jets have brief brawl at practice

Tebowmania turned into Wrestlemania for the New York Jets during one big training camp throwdown. About 20 players were involved in a brief brawl during a chippy practice Monday after running back Joe McKnight and safety D’Anton Lynn tangled after a play. Lynn, the son of Jets running backs coach Anthony Lynn, shoved McKnight out of bounds after a swing pass from Greg McElroy. An angry McKnight then fired the football at Lynn. “That was a first,” Lynn said. “That’s never happened to me before, so I lost my temper for a second.” Players ran over to the two and a pileup ensued, with players rolling into an area where reporters were watching. Several reporters scattered as the players jumped on each other and wrestled a few feet in front of a barricade where fans sit. – AP
