James Ihedigbo and Greg Little were jawing the whole game. Little was flagged for a pair of 15 yard penalties in the Browns 24-18 win over the Ravens, one taunting call and another for unsportsmanlike conduct.
After a Willis McGahee run, Little and Ihedigbo continued to shove each other until Ihidgbo pinned Little to the ground. Little responded by ripping off Ihedigbo’s helmet and the referees responded by throwing their yellow hankies.
However, @MarkSkog on the Twitter points out that while Ihedigbo threw down Little, he put both hands around his neck and choked the Cleveland wide receiver.

I attempted to take a more clear screenshot, you can also watch the video on NFL.com after a few annoying ads play several times.
After the game, Ihedigbo was still pissed as Little, who burned the Ravens defense for 122 yards on 7 catches.
Ravens safety James Ihedigbo had a jawing match with wide receiver Greg Little throughout the game. It got out of hand when Little ripped off Ihedigbo’s helmet, which drew a 15-yard personal foul. “He’s trying to be a tough guy,” Ihedigbo said. “Some guys who aren’t tough try to prove that they’re tough.”

From Lewis to Suggs, Ihedigbo is in fine form as another BAL thug!
This dude should be fined AND suspended. Chocking someone is more than just a heat of the moment thing. That’s an act that someone does to kill a person! The NFL better do something about that.
That’s not choking. Choking is when a piece of food gets stuck in your throat. What’s happening there is strangling.
He’s on Steroids!

If you actually watch the video he pushed him to the ground, not “strangulation”.. it was for less than a second that his hands were there. And “steroids” ? Did you happen to miss this part of the article…
“The chips, which are essentially hologram stickers, are not banned by the NFL. A professor of neurology at Yale Medical School, Dr. Steven Novella, told “60 Minutes Sports”, “There’s no energy in those stickers. They’re just a piece of plastic.”
Come on..choaking ..REALLY… his hands aren’t even around his neck for Gods sake…they are on his shoulder pads.Get a life and try to stick to the truth instead of inventing stories where there are none!!!
Are you really that blind? His thumbs are clearly underneath Little’s facemask
Good luck choking a football player with two thumbs and no fingers.
in the video little is down and the pile is actually already breaking up before Ihedigbo’s thug attack, and dives onto Littles neck. Suspensions aren’t working? maybe these shows of complete lack of sportsmanship need a hockey-style penalty box. You want to go for the extreme cheap shot? Then your team can play one man down for several minutes. Then the instigator has the balls to cry about it after the game, what a douce bag.
