Richardson was pulled from the game following the penalty and lost his cool on the sidelines. CBS cameras caught Richardson yelling at multiple people on the Kansas City bench, then shoving a member of the Chiefs staff -- ArrowheadAddict.com identified the recipient of Richardson's push as special teams coach Steve Hoffman.
Richardson then tried to go back in the game, but was flagged down by another Kansas City coach.
The penalty turned out to be a costly one. On the ensuing third-and-goal from the Denver 8, following Richardson's five-yard penalty, Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles ran for six yards. Kansas City then went for it on fourth-and-2, but QB Matt Cassel was sacked for a 13-yard loss.
Richardson likely won't face any sort of league discipline for his sideline antics, but there's a definite possibility that the Chiefs will levy some sort of fine or other punishment against him.
The 24-year-old Richardson has started all 12 games this season for the 8-4 Chiefs.

I Know that coaches deal with high strung athletes day in and day out. they are well accustomed to the rants of disgruntled players, but the moment one of these dudes lays a hand on a coach , all bets are off, and they are gone. that'a just the way it should be, so let's watch and see what happens.. does the ownership relent to the need to win or do they win on principal and set an example.. there is never ever a better equalizer that excellent discipline in an organization or in a family.. people have got to have self control and respect for the organization. this guy has none of that and he has been around for three years.. time to man up. I say dump him asap.. and make him pay heavy for what he did.. these are big dudes and they could seriously hurt someone doing what he did.. bye bye
I agree with you on this one. I don't care how good he is, he should be kick off the team. Then he can have the rest of the season to think about what he did wrong. Plus get no pay either, that will really get him mad.
The Chiefs should get rid of this guy. Remember, I forgot who was innvolved, an incident in basketball and the guy got a slap on the wrist.
And they wanna talk about LeBron bumping into coaches....HA!
What were the details? Why was he upset? Does he have anger issues or was this out of character? Was the coach injured? Also, it should read first and goal at, not from. Exactly what position does he play on the line? Not including the ends, you have five line positions.
What a punk! He makes the mistake and now pushes the coach for his blunder.
Sit him and fine him. Over payed Cry babies. What you think he would have done if the coach had shoved him back. I'll tell you, he would have made it look as if a train had hit him falling to the ground and than put all the blame on the coach. SIT RICHARDSON AND FINE HIM.
Not to make excuses but the coach did shove him first. These are grown men and sometimes you see coaches step over the line and deserve to get the crap slapped out of them.

Old Barr must have thought he was dealing with a girlfriend.
I would tell the chiefs to shove the fine
Fire Tony Sparano ! Hire Bill Cowher! Sparano wil never be more then a 7 and 9 coach at best, hes done in the NFL as a head coach.....
It looked like he just got lost and was too dumb to understand what was going on around him. He just looked stupid.
I'm old school.Regardless of this mans abilities he would be history and unemployed at least as a member of my team. We live in the USA but have become the USE = UNITED STATES OF EXCUSES.......I'm sure he will be excused for his actions and things will be hunkey dorey once again in pro football.
typical, nothing else to say.he should be thrown out of football, "national felons league"
Man, those peoples are just aggressive and violent!
Another classy NFL player.
that should read "CLASSLESS"
he should be fined and arrested for assault, a little time in the cooler might be good for him, before he assaults someone else.
The guy should be cut immediately, there is no excuse for that kind of behavior.
If you can't block the opposition, take it out on your coach.. ATTABOY !!!!!
