New York Giants coach Bobby Johnson sorry for role in brawl

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants offensive line coach Bobby Johnson apologized for pushing linebacker Cam Brown during a brawl at Monday's practice.

A heated Johnson went toward Brown moments after the young linebacker angrily dragged starting center Jon Feliciano out of a melee. Instead of things calming down, Feliciano reacted by throwing a haymaker in the direction of Brown.

Brown followed with punches of his own. Both players had their helmets on at the time, but fortunately neither were injured.

"The incident [Monday], I take full responsibility," Johnson said Tuesday during a press conference that was planned before the incident.
