The DK Metcalf incident on Sunday -- in which the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver appeared to take a swipe at a Detroit Lions fan -- could end up with the wideout getting disciplined by the NFL. While there's an alternative angle of the moments before Metcalf's punch, there's only one side to what was said that led to the receiver confronting the fan -- Metcalf didn't speak to reporters after the win over the Lions. He initially said "My words don’t matter because it was on camera," but then spoke more about what he said went down:“What, my full name isn’t is DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf," Kennedy said. “I got word, obviously, I’m not condoning putting your hands on a fan or punching a fan, but he did call [Metcalf] a racial slur,” Johnson told his co-host Shannon Sharpe.
