Patriots QB Drake Maye Comments On Mike Vrabel's Involvement In Scrimmage Brawl With Commanders
The Patriots are partaking in joint practices in Foxboro with the Washington Commanders this week ahead of the teams' preseason opener on Friday. Teams frequently host these joint practices before preseason games as a way for the players to get live reps against real competition. Usually, these are just laid-back practices where the players get some work in and maybe banter a little, but it's not rare for tensions to boil over and for scuffles to happen. On Wednesday, tensions indeed boiled over briefly between the Patriots and Commanders. Wide receiver Kayshon Boutte and cornerback Marshon Lattimore got tangled up and initiated the scuffle. In order to prevent a full-on fight from occurring, head coach Mike Vrabel jumped into the pile to separate his players. As a result, Vrabel exited the pile with a bloody cheek. Luckily, no players were ejected, and the fight didn't turn into a big deal. After practice, Drake Maye commented on Vrabel jumping into the pile, and explained how that action embodies the spirit the team is trying to have. 'That's what we're trying to build,' Maye said, via a transcript from the team. 'I think, and it starts with the coach, starts with the head coach. The intensity, bringing it every day, taking no crap when we're out there on the field. But also, it comes to a time where, with our guys offensively, and getting over there and getting some tussles, and kind of having some penalties, and extra after the whistle can get us in trouble. But for mentality, I like it. I think that's what you want. I mean, I almost got in there, but I think maybe another day, maybe. So, we'll see.' Maye also mentioned that Vrabel joked about having the team go back and review the footage of him in the scrum. Clearly, nobody is taking it too seriously, and the players enjoyed seeing that passion from their head coach.

PSM pans police probe into deputy chief over Parliament scuffle
PSM secretary-general M Sivaranjani said organisers had informed the police, Parliament and MPs that the rally would be held outside the gates, not inside the compound. PETALING JAYA : Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) has slammed the police investigation into its deputy chairman, S Arutchelvan, over a scuffle outside Parliament yesterday. Calling it unjust, PSM secretary-general M Sivaranjani said Arutchelvan was pushed to the ground and also injured during the scuffle. 'This is clearly visible in various media reports and videos posted on social media. 'Now, he is being investigated when he is actually the victim,' she said in a statement today. The clash occurred when police stopped a group of more than 100 estate workers, led by Arutchelvan, from marching to Parliament's gates. The workers had walked from Taman Tugu to submit a memorandum on housing and a draft bill making it compulsory for estates to provide homes for local plantation workers. Although blocked from gathering at the gates, the group managed to hand over the documents to deputy law and institutional reform minister M Kulasegaran and opposition chief whip Takiyuddin Hassan. However, Kuala Lumpur police said yesterday that the commotion left a police officer injured, and that an investigation had been launched. City police chief Fadli Marsus said the case was being investigated under Section 353 of the Penal Code for using criminal force to deter a public servant from discharging his duty, and Section 427 for mischief. In a statement, Arutchelvan said he would present himself at the Dang Wangi police station at 2pm today with his legal team after being contacted by a police inspector at 10pm yesterday. He said the incident was recorded and public, and that their only intention had been to submit the memorandum. 'I deny that there was any aggression on our part during the handover of the memorandum, as we have the right to assemble peacefully under Article 10 of the Federal Constitution,' he added.

Bengals rookie knocks down Joe Burrow during practice, sparks heated confrontation with teammates
Cincinnati Bengals rookie first-round pick Shemar Stewart was the reason behind a big scuffle at training camp on Wednesday. Stewart was rushing during 11-on-11 drills when he lost his footing and fell into quarterback Joe Burrow, knocking him to the turf. In training camp, it's emphasized across the NFL to not hit the quarterback to avoid any chance of injury. Even if Stewart didn't mean to do so, the Bengals' offensive line took exception, and tensions ran high between the teammates. The scuffle was caught on video, though it didn't seem to escalate to something too physical. After practice, multiple offensive linemen expressed their displeasure with Stewart's actions. "Just be smarter…great player, [but] that's all of our hopes and dreams right there," center Ted Karras told reporters. "We've got to be better, too. That's on us." Right guard Lucas Patrick also pointed some of the blame at himself. "Gotta protect No. 9. Starts with me up front," Patrick said, per the Cincinnati Enquirer. "I gotta play better and protect better, but you can't let No. 9 get hit." Stewart was a spotlight early in Bengals training camp, as he still hadn't signed his rookie deal due to contract language involving guarantees. He previously left mandatory minicamp due to the situation. After the standoff ended, the 17th overall pick finally agreed to his deal. The Bengals were reportedly trying to restructure the way their first-round rookie contracts are done, which would allow the team to void future guarantees. "I'm 100% right," he said of his stance about his rookie deal in June. "I'm not asking for nothing y'all (the Bengals) have never done before. But in y'all case, y'all just want to win arguments (more) than winning more games." Stewart had been attending meetings during minicamp but was not getting on the field. He did not report to training camp earlier this week, which upset Bengals executive Duke Tobin. "I think Shemar needs to be here," Tobin told reporters. "I'm not going to blame Shemar. He is listening to the advice he is paying for. I don't understand or believe or agree with the advice, but I'm not the one paying for it. If I felt we were treating him unfairly as it relates to all the other draft picks in this year's draft, then maybe it would be a different story. But we are not. I don't really understand where things are there." Stewart recorded his first NFL tackle in the Bengals' first preseason game last week against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Bengals' Ted Karras wants Shemar Stewart to 'be smarter' after rookie bumped Joe Burrow
Shemar Stewart is still finding his way with the Cincinnati Bengals after a prolonged holdout that wasn't resolved until late July. On Wednesday, teammates delivered a pointed message to the first-round rookie defensive end on the need to properly harness his intensity in a practice setting. Stewart ignited a scuffle during practice when he bumped into quarterback Joe Burrow during a play. Right guard Lucas Patrick confronted the defender, with teammates quickly arriving to separate the two. Center Ted Karras, a 10th-year who has been a captain for all three of his previous seasons with the Bengals, said the offensive line was ultimately responsible for Burrow's well-being, noting, "We gotta be better up front." But he also called for better judgment from the No. 17 overall pick out of Texas A&M. Asked if he appreciated the edge Stewart brought to the defensive line, Karras said Wednesday, "Hell yeah. Just be smarter. ... Come on, man. That's all our hopes and dreams right there." Safeguarding Burrow has been a lofty challenge for the Bengals' maligned offensive line throughout the quarterback's five-year career. Cincinnati's offensive front ranked last in ESPN's pass-block win rate metric in 2024, and the two-time Pro Bowl signal-caller tied for fourth with 48 sacks taken. Burrow missed the final seven games of the 2023 season after suffering a torn ligament in his right wrist. With receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins re-signed to massive extensions this offseason, the Bengals are once again counting on Burrow to shoulder a heavy load and lead the team back to the playoffs for the first time since 2022. FANTASY FOOTBALL: Is Ja'Marr Chase the No. 1-ranked wide receiver? Stewart, meanwhile, is expected to help revitalize the defensive front and made a strong early impression on teammates. "He's been making some plays out there for us," defensive tackle B.J. Hill said earlier in August. "He's a strong, physical, big-time athlete who can do a lot of things for us. Inside or outside. Glad to have him on our side. When he learns this defense, things are going to very explosive for our defense."
