Coye Francies of Cleveland Browns throws ice, punch in locker room skirmish - ESPN

Quote:

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland rookie cornerback Coye Francies, incensed over a prank, threw a bucket of ice and at least one errant punch during a skirmish in the Browns' locker room.

As the team returned from practice Friday, a dripping-wet Francies, who had been soaked by teammates, stormed into the locker room carrying a water bucket full of ice. Before he could be stopped, Francies tossed the ice on cornerback Brandon McDonald, hitting him with cubes and covering the floor.

Francies flung some ice in the direction of safety Mike Adams before heading toward safety Abram Elam's corner cubicle. Francies then swung his arms at Elam, who deflected the blows, before Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers grabbed him by the back of the shirt and escorted him out a side door.

I found this part to be the funniest...

"Welcome to the Browns locker room!" wide receiver Braylon Edwards hollered as players rushed over to check on the commotion.

I wonder how Mangina will discipline this one.

$1701 for a bottle of water.........gotta be at least $1702 for ice cubes.

Things are getting a bit tense in Cleveland, wouldn't ya say? Too bad Tubby Ratfink wasn't on the receiving end of one of those punches.

Rookies wound up that tight can cause a lot of trouble in a locker room.

Florio has taken to call Mangini "Captain Queeg" from the Caine Mutiny.

Now there is a micro-manager

Does that means he got balls of steel in his hands

Tubby must have been preoccupied with breaking down tape on the days they taught teambuilding here...

Cleveland's been dysfunctional for a while now so it's not all on Eric but what a lousy choice as a HC with essentilly total football control (got to name his own GM even...). This is what happens when driven, impatient guys get what they want way before they are remotely capable of handling it. Especially in a case like this where he essentially got a mulligan and never paid the consequence for screwing up in NY.

Does anyone in the league remember that Belichick benched Mangini?

Obviously the Jets and the Browns were not paying attention at the time.
