Seymour head-butted member of San Diego staff?

Profootballtalk.com is reporting San Diego Chargers center Nick Hardwick said that New England Patriots defensive end Richard Seymour applied a head butt to a Chargers coach.

The website also has a YouTube video that seems to capture the moment in question.

The apparent head-butt comes at about the 2:48 mark of the segment. Though the NFL has implemented tight restrictions regarding the interaction of players from opposing teams during pre-game warmups, Seymour looks to be right in the thick of the Chargers' players, jawing with a couple of them. Hartwick accused Seymour of dirty play following Sunday's AFC Championship.

    The Chargers showed it last year and now even more this year: They are a team of trash talking bullies who whine and cry when someone steps up to them and beats them at their own game. Two years in a row now??? C'mon "SuperChargers" , come up with a better excuse for losing the big game!

    Oh wow, sounds like somone wants to be a Patriot.......Mr. Hardwick im sorry but the position is filled. You can be a back-up if you want. Complain Complain Complain. Let the league sort this out not irrate players who didn't go as far as they wanted too. Hardwick will be complaining about this for the rest of his life. baby

    seymour is a very cocky player, he think he's all. i blame the ref. for all of this because they pretend to be blind on all his action, they should have do something so that this will stop...common ref...give him a flag at least...i hope they will be more aware of this now so that he people doesn't think, they give him a special treatment...

    Wow, so Hardwick was right and an independent source can verify it.
    Yet the pats still talk about 'whiners' and 'snitching.'
    Boston is slowly encroaching upon Philly's "armpit of the north east" tag.

    Show me some evidence. The whole game was taped by probably 15 cameras in 15 different locations. If this is true, there is evidence available. If you can't produce some evidence from 15 different camera angles, you're a liar.

    They all talk trash to each other. Its essentially become part of the game. But id Seymour did "Rodman" a ref, he needs to be reprimanded.

    I saw the clip. It doesnt look like he head butt's the coach but comes very close. It looks like they are talking trash and Seymour looks as though he is barking at the coach while walking towards him in an aggressive manner.

    I went to the website and viewed the video. Sorry No obvious head-butt. Two guys getting in each others face yes. Did Seymours face mask touch the person getting in his face? Hard to tell. Maybe the coach should be fined for harrassing a player? The Chargers played a great game. Their defense was great. Would this supposed head butt be an issue
    if the Chargers won the game? Probably not. I have to agree with the fans who are telling the Chargers to stop being a bunch of Babies. Last years crying from Shawn Merriman about Pats players doing his victory dance. If he had done the dance I guess everything would be all right. BOO HOO
