New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck and Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Flozell Adams didn’t like each other before today’s game, and it’s probably safe to say they like each other even less now.
At the end of the first half of the Cowboys-Giants game, Adams shoved Tuck as the teams walked to their locker rooms. According to the Fox broadcast, Adams was called for a personal foul that the Giants declined.
It’s unclear why the Giants would decline a 15-yard penalty, but it is clear that these two guys won’t be sending each other Christmas cards. In the teams’ first meeting this season, Adams tripped Tuck and caused him to land awkwardly on his left shoulder, leading to an injury that has bothered him all season.
Tuck called Adams “bush league” afterward, and Adams was fined $12,500. Another fine for Adams — and more harsh words from Tuck — may be coming.
