On one play, Browns tight end Aaron Shea caught a pass and as he took a step upfield, Bills linebacker London Fletcher hit him hard enough to pop the ball loose.
Shea didn't like it and hit Fletcher. Fletcher struck back and popped off Shea's helmet.
Shea called Fletcher, 5-10, 245 pounds, from Villa Angela-St. Joseph and John Carroll, ''Mini Me,'' after the little character in the Austin Powers movies. Fletcher called Shea ''a woman'' and said he is soft -- the worst insult a football player can endure.
Shea had missed the last four games of 2001 with a shoulder injury. As it turned out, he missed the first two in 2002, five and six weeks after the ''soft'' accusation, with the shoulder injury. He missed the last seven in 2002 with a severely sprained ankle. He still wears a protective pad on his right shoulder under his regular shoulder pads.
''No comment,'' Shea said yesterday when asked about Fletcher. ''I know what to expect when he comes to town.
''I learned it the hard way last year. I'll have my head on a swivel this time.
