The only solution was to set the example. His commentary was totally unacceptable.

"Now, that's what I'm talking about... You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked. You don't come into the OB playing that stuff. You're across the ocean over there. You're across the city. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You'll get your butt beat. I was about to go down the elevator to get in that thing."

He said he was about to go down and get into it. Same type of "I was gonna..." you hear on streetcorners.

O, and also this:

"I say, why don't they just meet outside in the tunnel after the ball game and get it on some more?"

"Now, that's what I'm talking about," Thomas said as the brawl raged out of control. "You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked. You don't come into the OB playing that stuff. You're across the ocean over there. You're across the city. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You'll get your butt beat. I was about to go down the elevator to get in that thing." As the fight slowed, Thomas' comments continued. "I say, why don't they just meet outside in the tunnel after the ball game and get it on some more? You don't come into the OB, baby," Thomas said. "We've had a down couple years but you don't come in here talking smack. Not in our house."

Thanks. He deserved to get fired for that kind of irresponsible conduct.

I don't follow sports, but saw the fight over and over- they should be punished more -especially the guy smacking someone's head with his helmet.

Some teams have no class.

And for whatever reason, those teams are primarily based in Florida. This incident is just another in a long series of disgraceful actions.

Ghetto trash.

That sums up Miami's football program over the last 20 years. Doesn't matter who the coach is. Donna Shalala must be proud.
