Unreal. Arguing over "6th grade stuff" according to Bowles.

"I have no idea. He's a teenager. He may go through 5 arm surgeries between now and his 30th birthday. He may add a pitch. He may lose a pitch. He may put on 30 lbs and add velocity. He may put on 50 lbs and eat his way out of the league. I literally have no idea what he is going to be."
But thats not what these guys are paid to do, nor what we are looking for them to do, right?

Bowles has said all week that he didn't want any fighting on the practice field. This may have been bottled up stuff leading to an eruption in the locker room.

Whatever it is though I may be in the minority but I really wanted to see how Geno was going to play. But if it was as childish as Bowles said, then it shows a horrible lack of maturity in Smith

Rumor is Geno may have owed him money.

Geno committed to attend a football camp IK was involved with
A close friend or relative of Geno's died in a motorcycle accident and Geno did not attend.
IK confronted Geno at the beginning of training camp and asked for the $600 he laid out for the plane ticket. Geno said he would reimburse him and today was the day IK expected the money.
When Geno said he didn't have it the two began arguing and he was laid out by IK. Geno walked away, but walked away with a jaw broken in two places.

When Geno's injury was made public, Vegas upped the Jets win total by a game and a half

I did hear that Geno actually did throw the first punch.
