remonstrated with St Kildas Sam Gilbert after his late high spoil on Andrew Swallow. Jed Anderson flattened Nick Riewoldt with a ferocious bump that looked like it might have collected a bit of the St Kilda champions head. Fre

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman had to be separated by teammates after getting into a scuffle on the field after the Cowboys 31-26 win Thursday.Speaking with reporters after the game, neither player backed down.Bryant caught three of his five passes while being defended by Norman and was able to get the last laugh thanks to the Cowboys victory, but he opened his postgame news conference with this: First off, Washington needs to get their money back from Josh Norman.Their histrionics go back to last Thanksgiving, when Norman was with the Carolina Panthers. Bryant was limited to two catches for 26 yards in the Cowboys 33-14 loss, and after the game Norman said the Cowboys should get Dezs $70 million back, referencing the five-year, $70 million deal Bryant signed in the summer of 2015.Norman signed a five-year, $75 million deal with the Redskins this past summer.I didnt make it personal, Bryant said. He made it personal. I was just going to come out and do my job, and thats exactly what I did. He wanted to bump. I let him bump. He got me bumping a little bit, and he made me attack him even more. You know, I honestly feel like the guy is extremely soft. I think hes just a bunch of talk. If he was out and about, I wouldnt dare on my life let him talk to me like that. Those words would never came out his mouth. Promise. Promise it wouldnt. But on another, we got after that ass. Hell of a win. You know, it feels good.Bryant did not discuss what led to the postgame dustup. Television replays appeared to show Norman taking a swing and throwing a towel at Bryant. Speaking with reporters afterward, Norman said he was going to shake Dallas QB?Dak Prescotts hand and apologize to Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick for something that happened in the game, but Bryant intervened.And then this guy is bumping into me -- Whats up? Norman said, referring to Bryant. Where Im from, we unload the clip. So pretty much whatever you want to do, Im not the guy that sees a challenge in my face who backs down. Thats not me. Thats not what youre gonna get. So Im sorry If I offended anybody. Actually, Im not sorry, because Im gonna be me. Thats who I am. Im going to be aggressive to the end. Im loading the clip all the way out to the end of the game. Dont step in front of someone when the games over like that. Theyre not even looking for you or having a conversation with you.On the field, Norman followed Bryant everywhere but into the slot, going with the plan Washington adopted late in the Cowboys Week 2 win at FedEx Field. Bryant finished that game with seven catches for 102 yards but did not have a reception versus Norman. On Thursday, Bryant had five catches for 72 yards.Its like Im trash, and he beat me all day. I just dont get it, Norman said. Like I said, if that boosts his ego or feeds his fuel or whatever hes got in his head, so be it. But weve played the game three times already, and my numbers speak for themselves. He can go cry, holler, hoot, whatever he wants to do. At the end of the day, like I said, zero touchdowns.But tip your hats off to them. The Dallas Cowboys won that game. Thats what its about. Its not about individuals. We try to compete, and I compete to the end, and if you dont like it thats what you get. Yeah, we lost, but well be back, and well be hungrier next time.The Bryant-Norman matchup became the most physical?in the fourth quarter, after Bryant made a 13-yard catch to the Washington 6 that set up Prescotts touchdown run. Norman grabbed Bryants leg, preventing him from getting up after the play, resulting in a brief scuffle between both teams.He just be talking, man, Bryant said. Like, its stupid. Its really stupid, and hes just not about that life. Hes not. Hes not about that life. Not at all. It got to the point where I might just leave him alone. But after this week I got to put the film out how I done him, and then after that Ill leave him alone. I dont care about him.Unless these teams meet in the playoffs, the next round of Bryant vs. Norman will come in the 2017 regular season.I played him three or four times, and in those times I dont think he broke 30 yards or had any significance of any kind of game, Norman said. So of those three games, a guy of that magnitude with that kind of big standards would do more than that, you know? But at the end of the day, the numbers speak for themselves. If you feel you want to have that, then go play with the kids at the playground.Redskins coach Jay Gruden said he didnt see the scuffle between Norman and Bryant.And I dont care, Gruden said. Those two guys are great competitors. Both of them are great players, and Im sure Ill read about it on Twitter.Gruden turned out to be right in the case of Bryant, who later took his feud with Norman to social media, posting a series of tweets about their battle Thursday.Later Thursday, Bryant struck a much more conciliatory tone.ESPNs John Keim contributed to this report.Dennis Rodman Pistons Jersey .

Could it be anyone else? History was made at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night when Harvey played his 427th AFL match to overtake Hawthorn great Michael Tuck and become the games record holder. The Kangaroos didnt let him down, either, clawing their way to a scrappy win over St Kilda.KEY MOMENT: Jack Watts has had more than his share of detractors and it was nice to see him continue his resurgent season with a clutch kick late in the Demons two-point win over Gold Coast. The former No.1 draft pick coolly slotted a difficult set shot at goal to put his side in front with two minutes remaining at the MCG.TALKING POINT: Finals may be out of the picture for Collingwood and Richmond, but the way the traditional powerhouses finish the season is important. The Pies knocked off finals-bound West Coast, while the Tigers succumbed meekly to GWS a week afterr they turned their toes up against Hawthorn.dddddddddddd Richmond host the Magpies on Friday night - they must dig deep and show their fans something.TRIBUNAL WATCH: Magpie Jonathon Marsh looks to be in trouble after he launched a round-arm blow to the stomach of Luke Shuey that felled the West Coast midfielder.
