Yes, I know it’s old news but there are still those of you out there who have not seen it. So this is for you. A couple of weeks back, the Packers were out doing their thing which of late is beating the back out of the Chicago Bears (sorry windy city fans).
During the course of another Packers victory, Sam Shields found himself going down field with Hester on a pass route and things got a little testy. Don’t know who shoved who first and what may have led up to this but what I do know is that Hester and Shields started to go “All Andre Rison vs. Deion” on each other. Luckily the referee and cooler heads prevailed before it go full scale but this is the first I can recall two Hurricane teammates getting into it with each other on the field. Now, this would not have been unusual on the Hurricane practice field but to see it when they are on separate pro teams is unusual. For those wondering, Shields and Hester were not at Miami at the same time. Shields came right after Hester’s departure. If anyone can name another instance in which this would have happened, please comment. If anyone can think of an instance in which players from the same school got into on the NFL field, please comment.
Finally, who would win a race between these two? Shields has been clocked at 4.23 and Hester at 4.24. That would be better than this facemask pounding contest.
