During the fourth quarter of the 1998 Pro Bowl (after the 1997 season), linemen Neil Smith and Kevin Gogan get into a fight after the end of a play. After some shoving and words with another opposing lineman, Smith seeks out Gogan and delivers a leaping sucker punch to the back of Gogan's helmet. Gogan responds by kicking Smith in the groin (not entirely visible due to how the cameras not filming below the waist at that specific moment). Both are ejected from the game, the first two players to ever be tossed from the Pro Bowl since the game moved to Hawaii.
