Tensions boiled over Sunday for the Michigan Panthers during a 17-12 loss to the Houston Gamblers.
During the inaugural weekend of USFL games, defensive linemen Cavon Walker and Chase DeMoor got into a very heated moment on the sidelines as Michigan struggled the entire game. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

In case you didn’t already know, the USFL is off to a very hot start and players throwing some strikes on the sidelines certainly doesn’t hurt.

If you want to succeed as a spring league, you have to be interesting. Fans need to be captivated. I’d say players fighting on the sidelines, while not ideal for the team, is certainly going to have fans talking.

Football is an emotional sport and tensions are sometimes going to boil over. That’s what happens when you have a bunch of guys leaving it all on the field and things aren’t going well.
Now, do I endorse hitting your teammate? Of course not, but I can certainly understand why it can happen from time to time.

If you didn’t check out any USFL action this past weekend, I suggest you give it a shot during week two. It’s a very fun league with tons of potential.
