CORTLAND, N.Y. -- A brawl involving about 20 players erupted on the sideline in the New York Jets' practice Monday, causing reporters to scatter and coming dangerously close to fans.
It started when safety D'Anton Lynn, son of runnings back coach Anthony Lynn, shoved running back Joe McKnight out of bounds after a screen pass.
McKnight fired the ball at Lynn, and they immediately started fighting, with McKnight charging and throwing the first punch. Within seconds, the offensive and defensive units ran over. A massive pile-up ensued.
The players ran over advertisement placards, which run the length of the sideline, en route to the pile-up.
Coach Rex Ryan, probably not pleased that it was so close to fans, came over immediately and started pulling players out of the pile.
Order was restored in about a minute.
