Mack Accuses Shaun Smith Of Grabbing His Genitals

Oct 31, 2014 6:25 AM

Alex Mack accused Shaun Smith Monday of foul play during the Chiefs game, specifically grabbing his genitals during a play near the end of the first half. "I don't think he should be able to do that," said Mack of Smith. "I'm still fired up about it." The incident took place after a one-yard run by Josh Cribbs with 1:21 left in the second quarter. After that play, a number of Chiefs players ended up on the Browns' sideline and punches were thrown. Smith told the Associated Press Monday: "I don't have no comment. I don't recall doing anything like that. I'm not known for being a dirty player or anything like that, so I don't know what that was all about." According to Mack: "I'm trying to hustle to the ball. I'm trying to help [Harrison] and he's a shifty guy. I'm trying to rush there and get a block and move things, be fired up, play the game with passion. A little too much passion. I probably should've pulled off that. It hurt my team and I feel bad for it, but I'm trying to play the game fast."

Delhomme Doubtful Because Of Ankle Injury

Oct 12, 2014 4:34 PM

The Browns listed Jake Delhomme as doubtful because of an ankle injury. But Kansas City coach Todd Haley said his team isn?t taking chances. The Chiefs prepared this week for Delhomme, a traditional drop-back passer, and the more mobile Seneca Wallace, a former Iowa State star who would start if Delhomme were unavailable. Haley said that it requires more work to get ready for two quarterbacks but that it?s necessary to cover all possibilities. ?Whenever that occurs, it?s always a problem,? Haley said. ?It?s always a bigger problem than knowing who it is.?
