The New York Giants Pro Bowl defensive end Justin Tuck called the game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday a dirty game because of a “bush” move made by the Cowboys offensive tackle Flozell Adams. What a statement and I guess it may cause a quarrel between the fans in Giants jerseys and those in dallas cowboys jerseys.

Tuck was knocked out of the nationally televised contest because Adams stuck out his leg and tripped him in the first half of Sunday night’s game, causing Tuck to suffer an injury to his left shoulder. And Adams was penalized for tripping on the play, but it was not enough to ease the Giants’ anger.

Giants another defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka said a lot of the Giants players were talking about it on Monday.

“From being out there and seeing the quick replays, it looked like a pretty bad play,” Kiwanuka said. “Guys get beat and they have to do anything to save their quarterback, but that is not an excuse.”

Tuck would have tests on his shoulder today. Although he was hopeful that he could play this weekend when the Giants travel to Tampa, Fla. to play the Buccaneers, Coach Tom Coughlin said he was not sure whether he would allow Tuck to play by then. As for Adams, he told reporters that Tuck’s injury was not his fault.
