“Before I say anything, I want to apologise to the guy running off the field and he ran and jumped in front of me.

I’m coming off the field the field and I bumped into him and pushed him. I think he ended up on the ground, so I want to say sorry to him because that was just frustration mixed with him running in front of me and I shouldn’t have responded that way and that’s how I initially responded.

I want to apologize to him for that.”

“We obviously don’t want any of our guys to be doing anything like that. He knows that. He’s very well aware of that.
