Flozell Adams is an unqualified “dirtbag”
Cowboys OT Flozell Adams and Giants DL Justin Tuck have a long and heated rivalry, as two pro-bowl players who face off twice a year in the fierce NFC East. Earlier this season in the teams’ first match-up, Adams injured Tuck when he blatantly tripped him after getting beat, prompting Tuck to say that he would “punish” Adams the next time they met. And there’s no doubt that he and the NY defensive line came to play … but within the rules.
Yesterday, Adams continued to prove himself as a classless punk when he took a cheap shot on Tuck while his back was turned at the end of the first half, which sparked a sideline altercation when the Giants stepped in to defend their teammate. Strangely, Adams went un-penalized, but the play is now under review by the NFL, who will undoubtedly be handing out a fine.
Here’s video of the incident, including Adams’ previous indiscretions along with Tuck’s post-game comments, in which he pulls no punches in calling Adams a “dirtbag”:
