In the fourth quarter of Sunday's game between the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers, Cardinals receiver Early Doucet felt that Niners safety Dashon Goldson gave him a cheap shot during a play. Doucet expressed his frustration by slapping Goldson in the helmet while Goldson was down on the ground near the end of a play.
To retaliate, Goldson took a few swings at Doucet before Niners teammates separated the players.
The referees ejected Goldson from the game, although both Doucet and Goldson are likely to receive fines.
Remember kids: it's always the second guy that gets caught.
UPDATE 11/25/11: Goldson was fined $25,000 by the NFL. Doucet received a fine of $10,000.
