| 22nd September, 2008 - 9:21 am |  Chicago Sun-Times - The Buccaneers claim that the Bears played dirty on Sunday, culminating in Charles Tillman's 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness after he took a swing at wide receiver Michael Clayton, according to Chicago Sun-Times.
"If you want me to be truthful with the situation, I don't know who it was, but they grabbed me in places they shouldn't have grabbed me after the play, and that's what started the whole thing," Tampa Bay right tackle Jeremy Trueblood said. "I think those guys take a lot of pride in what they do, and we take a lot of pride in what we do, but one thing I don't stand for is someone grabbing you in your genitals."
Trueblood wrestled on the ground with Chicago defensive end Adewale Ogunleye, and then the skirmish broke out that ended with Tillman engaging with Clayton.
"I don't know who it was," Trueblood said. "But whoever was beneath [me] paid the price. I was just doing what I do on a block. I was just laying on top of him, not moving. And then those guys ... we were kind of cool with the situation. That [stuff] happens on every play."
"Someone is going to grab and someone is going to poke. We were kind of letting it ride. I was going to get up, I was going to walk away." [READ] |
