He is widely remembered for what occurred on November 4, 2001 in the
Louisiana Superdome. The Saints were trailing the New York Jets 16-9
late in the fourth quarter, but were driving deep into opposition
territory. After a scramble, quarterback Aaron Brooks was tackled at
the six yard line and was roughed up by Jets defender Damien Robinson.
Kyle emerged from the ensuing scrum with Robinson's helmet and
proceeded to fling it across the field before giving an obscene
gesture. He was ejected from the game and was also accessed a personal
foul penalty, costing the Saints any chance at tying the game. Saints
head coach Jim Haslett said he considered cutting him following the
game. He was ultimately fined $25,000 for conduct detrimental to the
team.
