Butch was asked about rumored altercation that led to Shy Tuttles injury . Butch said he fell on a helmet and then skewered the media for creating fake news about kids.
No way Butch could break Tuttle's orbital bone. Not without breaking his thumb because I have no doubt Butch puts his thumb inside his fist.
How hard would it have been to say: There was skirmish, on-the-field...guys being competitive and intense, which is what we want from them. Was over as soon as it began, not a big deal, just guys being competitive and passionate. Shy's good, he'll be ready for Georgia on Saturday."
That would look negative and he's already pretty much drowning in negativity. Doesn't want it to look like there is infighting.
