LenDale Fight

The question marks surrounding LenDale White have only intensified after news came out of Tennessee hinting that LenDale was involved with a fight (if you want to call it that) with one of his teammates during practice.

Apparently, there was a bit of a confrontation between LenDale and several defensive players when he spit in the face of safety Donnie Nickey (enter Keith Bulluck yelling White spit in Nickey’s face). A few players later (after dropping a pass) , LenDale was hit by Cortland Finnegan. Several other players swarmed in; Nickey shoved White in the back while LenDale was elbowing another player. Eventually it was broken up (just like practice a short while later).

Jeff Fisher, ever eager to keep the peace, help an impromptu meeting on the field. After having a real heart-to-heart with the players, he was able to find out what happened, calling the situation a “violation of the code of ethics.”

LenDale White needs to start settling down; you don’t want to be known as the Ryan Leaf of running backs now. With the walk-by-no-comment in your arsenal, you’re only steps away from “Don’t talk to me alright! Knock it off!”

Furthermore, “You’re a rookie, act like it” (courtesy of Sean Salisbury). Going in a quick tangent, Sean Salisbury is good at making the term “rookie” into a derogatory word. I digress...

This latest act has done nothing to help him already faulty image. The character issues were there from the draft; he has done nothing disprove them.
