DWinzit Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 HARDWICK CLAIMS SEYMOUR HEAD-BUTTED CHARGERS COACH A reader tells us that Chargers center Nick Hardwick claimed in an appearance on XX Sports Radio 1090 that the alleged antics of Pats defensive end Richard Seymour on Sunday included applying a head butt to a member of the Chargers' coaching staff. We previously received an e-mail tip making that same claim, and it appeared to have been written by a Chargers player. But we couldn't corroborate the contention, so we left it alone. Hardwick publicly called out Seymour after Sunday's game, claiming that Seymour was engaged in dirty tactics. Moments ago, we called the station to confirm that the allegation had been made by Hardwick (wow, real journalistic work), and we were told that the podcast containing the accusation will be posted within the hour.

DWinzit Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 SEYMOUR HEAD-BUTT CAUGHT ON TAPE? PFT Planet, we don't know what we'd do without you. In response to the item regarding the contention of Chargers center Nick Hardwick that Pats defensive end Richard Seymour applied a head butt to a Chargers coach, a reader sent to us a YouTube video that seems to capture the moment in question. The apparent head-butt comes at about the 2:48 mark of the segment. Though the NFL has implemented tight restrictions regarding the interaction of players from opposing teams during pre-game warmups, Seymour looks to be right in the thick of the Chargers' players, jawing with a couple of them.Also, the Nick Hardwick interview on XX Sports Radio is now available right here. http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Wouldn't surprise me. Always felt that the Pats were a "dirty" team under Bellicheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Wouldn't surprise me. Always felt that the Pats were a "dirty" team under Bellicheat. and they get by with it :mad: against the Chargers, Vrabel got away with an obvious trip on Rivers bad leg, that caused an interception Rodney Harrison got away with a taunting move ( patting a charger player on the head, and getting in his face) after the charger player messed up... the same as Bob Sanders did the week before to the Charger kicker and was flagged for a PF The Oline takes low blows and hold all the time, Moss is as bad as Irvin in his heyday with the push offs, the way Brady abuses official at times, would get most players flagged or possibly ejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie4redskins Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The way Belicheat runs that organization, wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeGreen Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I saw the video and I didn't think contact occured. And if the helmet and head did touch, it didn't seem to faze the Charger staff member at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoRUSupposed2Be Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I saw the youtube version and there definitely was no headbutting going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYBYNMitixk He chicken necks the guy a couple of times, popping his facemask at him. I saw the video and I didn't think contact occured. And if the helmet and head did touch, it didn't seem to faze the Charger staff member at all. Hmmm, get a couple of taps of facemask on your forehead on a cold day, and tell me it wouldn't sting much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. People don't seem to realize that the patriots are unstoppable when they get away with all this crap but once a ref starts to crack down on it they look very very mortal.
