On Monday, coach Romeo Crennel had to address a physical altercation that took place last week between quarterback Brady Quinn and defensive end Shaun Smith. According to WKYC-TV's Jim Donovan, who is also the team's play-by-play radio announcer, Smith punched Quinn in the face following a heated verbal exchange inside the team's weight room. Browns tight end Darnell Dinkins confirmed the fight during a radio interview on WQAL, saying Quinn's face was marked. Quinn is out for the season after surgery on a broken finger. Smith, who has been slowed by a calf injury, did not play in Sunday's game. Crennel said Smith was inactive because of a coaches' decision. "In a family you always have some disagreements and they get handled within the family," Crennel said. "I've got one brother and three sisters. When we were growing up we had altercations. You deal with them and you move on. That doesn't mean I dislike my brother or I dislike my sisters. "That's part of being in a household, everybody trying to establish their turf. But that's part of it. You deal with it and you move on."
