Giants players throw punches in fiery practice brawl
NY Post
The Giants were ready to rumble.
Thursday’s OTA practice ended with a full-scale fight that included punches thrown — a rare sight on an NFL field at this time of year, when both pads and drills with live contact are prohibited.
“The heat got to us,” edge rusher Brian Burns said after practicing in 90-degree temperatures with 50 percent humidity. “It’s a violent sport we play. Guys are trying to get better. Tensions raised a little high, heat was getting a little hotter, so guys are a little more agitated.
“But it isn’t that deep. We squashed it.”

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
