Oct 19 (The Sports Xchange) - Former
Seattle Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson, now an analyst with NFL
Network, revealed on Sunday that he was the one who broke up a fight
between wide receivers Percy Harvin and Golden Tate.

The Seahawks traded Harvin to the New York Jets for a fourth
round draft pick on Friday. Reports surfaced Saturday that Harvin
had physical altercations with players and was a destructive force
in the Seattle locker room.
It was reported that Harvin gave Tate a black eye during a fight
before the Super Bowl earlier this year. Tate now plays for the
Detroit Lions.
Robinson, who played for the Seahawks last season, told NFL Network
that he intervened in the fight.
"Something did go on at the Super Bowl that a lot of fans don't know
about," Robinson said. "There was an altercation in the locker room
between Percy Harvin and Golden Tate. It saddens me because I was a
leader on that team and to know that this information got out --
usually Pete Carroll-coached teams, this type of thing stays
in-house. There was an issue, I physically broke it up, I was there,
you would have to ask those guys what they were arguing about, I'm
not at liberty to talk about it."

Robinson confirmed that the fight occurred one day before the game,
in which Seattle routed the Denver Broncos 43-8.

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, who got along with Harvin, was
irate about the trade, according to the New York Daily News.
Lynch was so upset that he almost did not get on the plane when the
team flew to St. Louis on Friday for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Buffalo Bills running backs Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller left
Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with injuries that are
considered long-term.
Jackson was ruled out after leaving on a motorized cart in the first
quarter with a groin injury. Spiller, who also was taken to the
locker room on a cart, could miss the rest of the season with a
broken collarbone.

Dallas Cowboys reserve running back Joseph Randle, who was recently
arrested for shoplifting underwear and cologne, landed an
endorsement deal with MeUndies.
After Randle was arrested for stealing from a Texas Dillard's last
Monday, the Cowboys fined him $29,500.
ESPN reported that MeUndies is giving Randle enough sponsorship
money to pay the fine and supply him with underwear.
Randle is reportedly donating $15,000 worth of underwear and
clothing to children in need through the sponsorship.

Seahawks.
