Browns wide receiver Greg Little and Ravens safety James Ihedigbo played a little game of “he said, he said” this week in regard to a scuffle between the two of them in Cleveland’s victory last weekend.

Little accused Ihedigbo of choking him as the two men exchanged unpleasantries at the end of a play last Sunday and said that he ripped Ihedigbo’s helmet off in response. Ihedigbo denied doing it, saying his hand was on Little’s chest and that he did nothing wrong.

The NFL agreed and they also ruled that Little didn’t do anything worthy of a fine. PFT has confirmed with the league that neither player has been fined for that skirmish, which was part of a day filled with sniping between the two players. It’s a little strange that neither player was deemed over the line by the league, especially since removing the helmet of another player and dispatching it is generally the kind of thing they really frown upon.

The two teams won’t meet again until next season, which means any animosity will have to be kept on a low simmer for a while.
