FOXBORO -- Sunday's fight between Patriots tackle Matt Light and Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder is going to be reviewed by the league office to determine if disciplinary action is necessary, but Patriots kicker Stephen Gostowski won't be worth interviewing. Even though he was right next to the fight, he was only concerned about one thing: making sure neither man crushed his kicking leg.

"Light landed on my leg, and I had no idea what was going on, I was just worried about someone falling on my leg," Gostowski said.

The fight began after a field goal late in the Patriots win over the Dolphins. Crowder appeared to shove Light, and then the Patriots tackle punched Crowder repeatedly.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the incident would be reviewed by NFL director of football operations Gene Washington this week, but that no decision would be made Monday, according to the Associated Press. He said reviews are standard for such on-field incidents.
Gostowski, meanwhile, never thought about getting involved.

"That's their fight, let them do what they want to do. Those guys are twice my size -- I only pick fights that I know I can win," the kicker laughed.

Reminded that sometimes in hockey, the two goalies square off during larger fights, Gostowski -- clearly joking -- mulled the idea of facing off with the other team's kicker.

"Yeah, I should have gone after their kicker -- just ran over there and started punching him, yeah!" Gostowski laughed.
