49ers FIGHT: Shantae Spencer Nails Ahmad Brooks During Practice (VIDEO)


First Posted: 09/17/10 02:03 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 06:40 PM ET

The San Francisco 49ers can't seem to get along during practice. In the middle of a ball security drill, cornerback Shantae Spencer nailed linebacker Ahmad Brooks. Everyone seemed to laugh about it, but Brooks didn't think it was funny. The linebacker got up, hit Spencer in the head and the two started to fight.

This isn't the first time a fight has broken out at a 49ers practice. Back on Sept. 2, Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree needed to be separated after a scuffle. The 49ers, who lost 31-6 to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, should probably try to take their anger out on their next opponent, the New Orleans Saints. Scroll down for Comcast SportsNet Bay Area's footage.

As Bill Cower says, "this is an emotional game played by big men."

This was a big "meh".

Whoa... that was almost as bad as a tickle fight.  Good thing it was broken up before someone really got hurt.

i atually thought he was going to do pretty well for the niners. Have not really seen much emotion out of him on the sidelines.. Coaches like that annoy me. Art shell was the same way. (he was also TERRIBLE!!) but still.. I miss chucky's grumpy face!

I had high hopes for Mike Singletary as a head coach since he was a terrific player, and came off as an articulate man.  His tenure so far has been marked by inane statements and personnel issues.

Thanks 49er's, by your inabilty to pull together as a team, you've left the west wide open. Now if only the Ram's could get a true #1 reciver ...........

Don't get the idea the 49ers can't pull together as a team. They will win the NFC West,last week was a wakeup call and they will cream Seattle when they play again and the Rams???LOL!!.............Aren't going ANYWHERE.

Fasten your seatbelt for the Monday Night game with New Orleans.

Lol, The second Hasselback goes down, we offically have the top quarterback in the division. Our defense can cause pressure (for a change), and our O-Line is holding strong (for now). If San Fran keeps up the "good" work, and St.Louis stays healthy, We stand as much of a chance as winning the division as Seatlle, Arizona, our San Fran. P.S. Don't draft Jake Locker when your picking #1 overall XD.

Too bad no one in the NFC west is going to win a playoff game, let alone a superbowl.  This is coming from a 49ers fan who is getting increasingly frustrated that they can't even win the worst division in football.

My little grandchildren fight harder than that. This is news? A slapfight between two helmeted, heavily padded musclebound guys? Arm them each with featherdusters if you want to dress it up a little bit.

I'm a 49ers fan. It hurts too much to watch these trainwrecks. This fight isn't really a big deal at all, but our team is the real travesty.

it hurts. that first loss took the wind out of this city like nothing i've seen before.

perhaps, but my number one true love, the San Francisco Giants, are going to win the world series :-)

CAN'T WIN WITH THESE GUYS! YOU CAN'T DO IT!

That was a "baseball fight." Neither player wanted really to mix it up.

when fighting during practice you will want to knock your opponents helmet off. This was not done and in most cases the coaches will let this play out till on falls on the ground. As for Spencer I would of got up and hit him also. You can always punch someone under the helmet right on the chin.

Hoped this helped
