FIGHT! Matt Light is a hair-puller

Since we're not allowed to have any actual NFL footage on The Corner, you'll have to experience the Channing Crowder/Matt Light fight here sort of like you would a pay-per-view boxing match on SportsCenter: still images and commentary. Pretend I'm Al Bernstein.

Above, you see Light with a handful of Crowder's hair. From here, Light used one hand to keep a grip on the hair, and another hand to whale on Crowder's head. He did connect a few times, but nothing that did major damage.

You can use the comments to argue the manliness of holding a man's hair with one hand and raining punches with the other, but it was an effective strategy.

Here we take a step backwards in time and see Crowder losing his helmet, while being unable to get Light's off. General rule in fighting: The guy with the helmet and facemask has a significant advantage.

Here's a shot after some Dolphins teammates intervened and tackled Light, freeing Crowder's dreadlocks from the clutches of Patriot hatred. You can see Light on the ground behind Crowder, likely having things done to him that he isn't enjoying. Crowder is wearing the expression of a man who just lost a fight, but wasn't hurt badly, and wants everyone to believe he's happy about the whole thing.

Here's Crowder arguing that he shouldn't be ejected. He did not win this argument. Between the game, the fight, and that argument, that puts Crowder at 0-3 on the day.

And here we see Crowder in happier times, displaying his more sensitive side, hugging a big furry Dolphin.

    Hey dumb dumbs, the dolphin threw the first punch. Speaking of dumb why would the idiot punch a guy with a helmet on after losing his own?

    Hey Du I have the answer for you. He's a Miami Dolphin, which aren't known for being to smart.

    might as well kick him in the nuts too huh Light? Fights like a girl. pats still have the 'whatever it takes' mentality, if you can't win, cheat.

    It is amazing how there are so many non Pats fan out there. A football fan watches the game for how it is played. Miami just plain stunk. Without Pats the turnovers the score would have been higher. Good defense still wins

    #5 - You said it!!!! It still cracks me up to hear all the comments about "cheaters" - screw you losers! Every time a team LOSES to the PATS, they pull that card out... FYI guys - that "card" is a JOKER! It's not even part of the DECK! Beating you fair and square is not cheating - but keep telling yourself that, if it helps you sleep at night - after a BIG FAT LOSS!!! sticks and stones boys - sticks and stones!!

    here the bottom line on this miama was getting beat at the end , they didn't like it , so they started to do al the cheap stuff!personal foul , even a couple of miami players had to apoligize for some of their team mates for acting like big babies when they knew they were getting beat on the game!

    He deserves no special treatment just because his hair is long. Hair is part of the uniform. And besides, he is a crybaby wimp.
