The highlight of Sunday’s Browns practice: DE Chad Thomas and TE Pharaoh Brown having to be separated after an altercation. Thomas wouldn’t let it go and had to be pulled all the way off the field. After the skirmish, coach Freddie Kitchens stopped practice and had the team run several up-and-back sprints. “They were making each other better,” Kitchens said of Thomas and Brown. “Now, we have to learn not to hurt the team” with penalties. During the sprints, one fan hollered at Thomas to “hustle.” Thomas responded by giving the fan the finger. Kitchens said he would be addressing the incident with Thomas, but noted it would “remain between us.”
Ravens OC Greg Roman was blunt when asked about the handful of false starts by the second- and third-team offenses today. “It’s hard to turn that lemon into lemonade,” Roman said.
Sean Lee did not have to take the Cowboys’ chartered flight to Los Angeles last Thursday. He was already at his Santa Barbara home before training camp began in Oxnard, California, but he could not resist the bonding with teammates, so he flew back to Dallas. “I did fly home to fly back out. It’s special,” Lee said. “You get to the plane and there’s something special about getting this group together and going to camp. The energy on the plane. A lot of these guys you train with in the offseason, but then for five, six weeks you’re off and you don’t see them. Everybody is juiced up on the plane, trash talking a little bit, having fun.”
