"Don't hand me no lines, and keep your hands to yourself..."
That seems to be the consensus amongst two NFL players who say they were inappropriately touched by a fellow player on the gridiron. For a second week in a row Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Shaun Smith stands accused of "unnecessary touching", The Associated Press reported.
This time, it was San Francisco 49ers rookie offensive lineman Anthony Davis who accused the 325-pound defensive tackle of copping a feel during Sunday's game.
"He tried to feel me," Davis told The Associated Press. "That's weird, right?"
Davis' response: he punched the 29-year-old Brooklynite in the ribs, and received a 15-yard personal foul penalty.
Last week, Smith was also accused of grabbing the testicles of Cleveland Browns center Alex Mack during the second quarter of Sunday's game. Days later, the 2009 Cal State Senior Bowl representative was fined $5,000 and flagged 15-yards for unnecessary roughness for sacking the Chief's linebacker Derrick Johnson.
The 24-year-old Santa Barbara native didn't say if the "sack grab" led to the penalty but acknowledged that "there's things I can do better. You want to be aggressive and attacking. You just can't have penalties."
Mack, rightfully incensed over the low-down, dirty feel, said, "I don't think he should be able to do that. I'm still fired up about it," The Huffington Post reported.
Smith, of course, denied the accusations telling the AP that he had "...no comment. I don't recall doing anything like that. I'm not known for being a dirty player or anything like that, so I don't know what that was all about." However, video footage featured on the Total Pro Sports web site may tell a different story. You be the judge.
