Mike Vrabel doesn't want any fights breaking out at New England Patriots training camp, and he speaks from experience. The first-year Patriots coach said Monday he's emphasized discipline during padded practices, especially for younger players trying to prove themselves.

Mike Vrabel doesn't want to see his Patriots players fight in training camp -- even though he fought in his very first padded practice as a player nearly 30 years ago.

Before the Patriots took the field for their first padded practice of the new season, Vrabel was asked to recall his first day in full pads as a Steelers rookie in 1997, during which he got into it with a Pittsburgh tight end.
