Brawl breaks out at Dolphins camp

Dolphins fans watching the last practice open to the public Thursday morning were treated to a rumble, instigated by feisty CB Will Allen.

Allen was covering WR David Kircus on a sideline pattern when suddenly the wise-cracking New Yawker threw an elbow in Kircus' chin. The pass sailed out of bounds and it seemed as if the play was over. WRONG! Allen jumped on a prone Kircus and started throwing a flurry of punches. A stunned Kircus didn't seem to fight back. Then all heck broke loose as offensive players came to Kircus' rescue. Penalty flags were being thrown and coach's whistles were tweeting but to no avail as a 40-second brawl ensued.

It appeared as if the player who jumped in was TE Sean Ryan, but that's not definite because there were too many players on top of the pile. This was not your typical training camp fight when boys will be boys. There was anger and cheap shots being thrown. Fortunately, practice continued and Allen and Kircus were matched up against each other several more times without incident.

While coach Tony Sparano loves tough guys, I'm sure he will address the team about saving the dirty stuff for the opposition.

Just a guess, but I would think Kircus didn't fight back because he is an extremely marginal player who already has a violence charge off the field and is terrified that any violent incident involving him at all gets him cut. He's probably got a less than 50 percent chance of making the team as it is.
