Brawl Ends Raiders-Rams Joint Practice Early – A brawl that included punches and thrown helmets and had four starts and stops prompted Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden to send his players to the buses and end Day 2 of a chippy joint-practice session with the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. On Wednesday, several skirmishes marred the opening practice. “That’s enough of that crap,” Gruden said about an hour later at the team hotel. “That’s not good for football, that’s not good for anything, so that’s the end of that practice session.” Asked what his message was to his team after calling off the practice with two periods to go, Gruden scowled. “There’s no message,” he said. “They know. They know better. Everybody knows better. And again, it wasn’t everybody fighting — it will be on TV, you’ll see a bunch of guys screaming and yelling — but it was two guys in the special teams period. And then it was a lot of trash-talking that escalated. Just sickening, really, it’s just stupidity. I’m done with that. It’s just child’s play to me.” Read more at: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32051613/brawl-ends-las-vegas-raiders-los-angeles-rams-joint-practice-early (Paul Gutierrez and Lindsey Thiry/ESPN)
