Belichick boots two players from practice for fighting

Fights between teammates at practice have received media attention in recent weeks, and apparently New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is not going to tolerate them.

Early in training camp he made his players run laps after several skirmishes interrupted practice. But he took more direct measures on Thursday when wide receiver Julian Edelman and linebacker Niko Koutouvides got into it.

Belichick immediately booted both players out of practice, NFL.com reported.
