PHILADELPHIA -- The first punch thrown at Riley Cooper since it became known he made a racial remark didnt come from an opponent, but a teammate. Tyler Seguin Jersey . Cooper, who left the Philadelphia Eagles for three days in training camp after a video of him using the N-word surfaced on the Internet, found himself in a scuffle with defensive back Cary Williams at practice Thursday. Cooper, a wide receiver, said afterward it had nothing to do with his comment at a Kenny Chesney concert in June. And Williams declined to speak to reporters. "Both being super competitive, going for the ball," Cooper said. "We had a tangle-up at the ball, we both went to the ground. There was a lot of contact at the top of the route. "It was nothing." Williams was covering Cooper, broke up a pass from quarterback Michael Vick and both players went down. Cooper stood up and shoved Williams first. Williams responded with a couple punches and had to be forcibly restrained by teammates, including Vick. Cooper walked away after cornerback Brandon Boykin stepped in to separate the players. Williams then took his helmet off, screamed at Cooper and started walking toward him before Vick stepped in and grabbed the fiery cornerback by his jersey. Williams yelled at Vick, and an assistant coach led the quarterback away. "Our maturity level has to be on a whole different plane," Vick said. "Regardless of who the catalyst was for the whole fight, that doesnt matter. We have to be men. Were not guys who are out on the street, fighting one another. Were teammates. Its game week. We dont have time for that. I dont. "Its a distraction." The Eagles open their season against the Redskins in Washington on Monday night. DeSean Jackson eventually calmed Williams, who is no stranger to fights. Williams found himself in a scuffle against an opponent when the Eagles and the New England Patriots held a joint scrimmage last month and was pulled from practice. He fought Jackson during a game last year when he played for Baltimore. He also shoved a referee during the Ravens win over San Francisco in the Super Bowl. "Hes just one of those guys, hes a nagging person some times," Jackson said of Williams. "You get him on the field, he tries to be overaggressive, he tries to do things to intimidate receivers. Some people might back down from that. When youre dealing with people like myself, Riley, professional athletes, we all think were as tough as each other. "I think hes a good player, hes a competitive player." Williams, signed as a free agent in the off-season, was a key part of Philadelphias secondary overhaul. High-priced cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie were let go, replaced by Williams and Bradley Fletcher. The Eagles welcome Williams physical play, though coach Chip Kelly warned him during training camp to avoid penalties and stay in games. The Eagles immediately fined Cooper after the incident, which happened in June, and went public on July 31. A few days later, he left the team for sensitivity training. At that time, Williams said he had a problem not only with Cooper, but anyone who uses the word. "Nobody should say it," Williams said. "I dont care if you white, black, blue, green or purple. The hip-hop culture uses the word and has de-emphasized it. You need to go back and see what our ancestors did to try and rid themselves of that word." Patrick Sharp Jersey . Dillon Brooks scored 26 points on 9-17 shooting for Canada while pulling down six rebounds and picking up six steals. Teammate Chris Egi had 20 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks. Brian Bellows Jersey . That further limits the options of Australia coach Ewen McKenzie, who on Monday suspended six players who were involved in a night out in Dublin ahead of the Saturdays 32-15 win over the Irish. The Wallabies play Scotland on Saturday before facing Wales on Nov. http://www.thedallasstarshockey.com/alexander-radulov-hockey-jersey/ . It will mark the 22nd time the tournament has been held in this country and fourth in Atlanta Canada but will make its first appearance ever in played Nova Scotia.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Boston Bruins will try to earn only their second win in December when they visit the Minnesota Wild for Wednesdays battle at Xcel Energy Center. Boston has a 1-4-2 record this month, with both losses after regulation coming in the clubs past two outings. Last seasons Presidents Trophy winners have just 33 points in 2014-15, leaving the Bruins a point out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Bruins could have a difficult time ending a three-game slide tonight considering Bostons history against Minnesota. The Wild have dominated the Bruins since entering the league as an expansion club in 2000-01, going 12-2-1 in the 15 all-time meetings. Minnesota also boasts a 6-1-1 record as the host in this matchup. Boston lost for the fourth time in the last five encounters with the Wild on Oct. 28, as Minnesota scored three unanswered goals in the third period to take a 4-3 decision at TD Garden. The Wild, however, could be forced to play without either of their top two goaltenders on Wednesday. No. 1 Darcy Kuemper was scratched with an illness before Tuesdays loss in Chicago and he isnt expected to be able to suit up tonight. Niklas Backstrom started Tuesdays contest, but also is said to be dealing with the same stomach issue and he may not be able to go on Wednesday either. John Curry has been recalled from Iowa of the American Hockey League and he could get the start for the Wild. The 30-year-old journeyman made one start for Minnesota in 2013-14. If neither Backstrom or Kuemper is able to suit up, Johan Gustafsson also may be recalled to serve as the backup. Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon also has missed the last two games with a stomach bug and is questionable for tonight. The Bruins, who are 0-1-2 since captain Zdeno Chara returned from a 19-game absence due to a knee injury, have dropped their last two outings in the shootout phase. After falling in Saturdays 3-2 decision to Ottawa on home ice, the Bs lost by the same score Tuesday iin Nashville. Esa Lindell Jersey. Derek Roy recorded the lone goal of the shootout for the Predators as Boston fell in the opener of a three-game road trip. Milan Lucic and Reilly Smith scored once each in regulation for the Bruins. Tuukka Rask came up with 38 saves in the games first 65 minutes, but was powerless to prevent Roys dekes from pulling him out of position before a backhander provided the hosts winning margin. This is an important road trip for us and it would have been really nice to get that extra point, said Smith. Backup netminder Niklas Svedberg could get the start tonight in net. Svedberg is 3-4-0 with a 2.28 goals against average in nine games this season, but has never faced the Wild. The Wild have lost two of their last three games and fell 5-3 in Chicago on Tuesday. Patrick Kanes late power-play goal was the game-winner for the Blackhawks, but Minnesota wasnt happy about the call that led to that man advantage. Minnesota defenseman Erik Haula was whistled for hooking with 4:35 left in regulation and Kane scored 67 seconds later to give Chicago a 4-3 lead. The Blackhawks would later seal the game on an empty-net tally from Ben Smith. Four minutes left and (the referee) decides a good hockey game with a weak penalty like that, Haula said. Head coach Mike Yeo seemed to agree with his players assessment of the call. That time in a hockey game in a tie game, a one-handed hook on a dead play, pretty frustrating, Yeo said. Nino Niederreiter scored on a penalty shot for Minnesota, while Marco Scandella and Thomas Vanek also posted goals in the loss. Backstrom gave up four goals on 38 shots. The Wild trailed Chicago 3-1 after 40 minutes before Niederreiter and Scandella drew the club even with goals earlier in the third period. Minnesota hopes to get back in the win column tonight when it begins a four- game homestand. The Wild are 9-3-1 as the hosts this season Boston is 6-7-1 as the guest and will complete this swing Friday in Winnipeg.
