Practice makes perfect.

The New England Patriots are practicing with the Carolina Panthers this week in Carolina, the two face off against each other in their second preseason game. At one point during the joint scrimmages, things got extremely testy between the two sides and several fights broke out that led to the ejection of a few Patriots players. Because it’s only training camp, the reporters closest to the action are unable to record due to NFL rules.

Luckily for us, those rules do not apply to the fans in the stands, and we got some video of one of the melees.

Watch below:

Reportedly it started when Patriots Wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson made a nice catch near the Panthers’ sideline and chirped a bit following the grab. A Carolina coach gave him a push to send him back to the huddle, and Wilkerson had some words with him. Then the brawl started and of course punches were thrown.

Following that fracas, a smaller fight broke out.

Anything can happen in Training Camp when two teams practice together. The Carolina Panthers host the New England  Patriots this coming Friday.

Currently the Panthers are the favorites at -2, and the over/under on the game is 41.

If you’ve been reading all of the Side Action lately, you know that Over is looking pretty good.
