Chad, Madieu tangle twice

The Bengals made it to the second-to-the-last day of training camp before tempers flared.

Safety Madieu Williams and wide receiver Chad Johnson exchanged punches in two different incidents during the afternoon practice. It is scheduled to run until 5 p.m.

Early in practice, Johnson and Williams appeared to trade words during a drill. Johnson flung the ball at Williams as he walked away.

Later, in 11-on-11 team drills, Johnson and Williams tangled again at the end of a play. Coach Marvin Lewis was among those who broke up the fight, during which both players lost their helmets and threw punches.

Then, on a deep pass play from Carson Palmer to Johnson, safety Dexter Jackson intercepted near the goal line. Williams shoved Johnson to block him. They again traded blows, with Johnson's helmet coming off.

Defensive backs coach Kevin Coyle and Jackson broke them up.

A lot riding on the Bengals success this season with both of these players. Love to see the passion for the game, but hate to see an uneeded injury for either of these players or for Carson in the background breaking up fight in picture.

Dude...Have you had a chance to look at what you were wearing in that picture? You look like you just fell out of a frat house up at Miami. The brass button and baggy pants really adds to the look.

At least they aren't hitting cops. Way to go Marvin. You have this team on the right track now.
