2011: Michael Coe vs. Duke Calhoun
Long before the Giants upended the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl for the second time in four years, they were breaking up defensive back Michael Coe and wide receiver Duke Calhoun.
On a day that saw wide receiver Devin Thomas and safety Tyler Sash also get into a shoving match, Coe and Calhoun got into a nasty fight that ended with each player ripping the helmet off the other and then Calhoun striking Coe in the head with one of the helmets.
And there's your first legit fight of camp: WR Duke Calhoun and CB Michael Coe. Calhoun hit Coe with his own helmet. #nyg

“Half the time I don’t even see it,” then-head coach Tom Coughlin told reporters, adding that he “doesn’t care for” the fighting.
