Ejections

[Gary Najman]

Browns T Orlando Brown, Sr. was ejected during a game against Jacksonville in 1999 for pushing referee Jeff Triplette to the ground. Triplette had hit accidentaly Brown's eye with his flag.

Redskins T Tre' Johnson was ejected during a playoff game against Detroit after the 1999 season for hitting accidentaly back judge Bill Leavy during a scuffle.

Broncos WR Brandon Stokley was ejected during a game against Philadelphia in 2009 season for hitting accidentaly back judge Todd Prukop.

Fran Tarkenton got tossed near the end of the 1974 Patriots at Vikings game after he fired the ball off the back of Ron Bolton's helmet after Fran had scored a go ahead TD. Bolton tried to clip Tark's heel as he crossed over the goal line. I can't recall if Bolton got tossed also.

I have Forest Gregg kicked out of the Viking game in 1969, was he also kicked out in a 1968 game????

You're right, 1969. He took a swing at Dale Hackbart.

I believe that Trent Dilfer is the last quarterback to be ejected in a game. He was tossed up in a game at Minnesota in 1995 for punching John Randle.

Mason Rudolph for the Steelers was lucky he wasnt ejected from life itself, when he went after Myles Garrett without his helmet! Garrett swung his helmet towards his head and barely missed ...

Can anyone count how often N Suh got thrown out of a game? I can remember Haynesworth getting thrown out of a game for the Titans. How about Bill Romanowski? I know Rodney Harrison got fined alot for borderline hits, which helped change the rules but what about ejections?

To my knowledge neither was kicked out of a league game but would love to know if I'm missing one.

He was ejected on Thanksgiving 2011 for stomping on Evan Dietrich-Smith.

Apologies Brian and Citizen, I stand corrected as my friend Shane has pointed out a Haynrsworth and Romo ejection. Good call guys, thanks for the assistance.

Somewhat related, but one of the best ejections ever was Steve McMichael getting ejected from a Cubs game by Angel Hernandez.

Thanks all for the help so far, I've filled in a handful of gaps. If you know of any here are how many players I have ejected by league season, so if you have some from years where I have low counts it would be a great help. Thank you all.
