A former Arizona Cardinals team executive, Terry McDonough, is being accused of choking a man after taking a neighborly battle way too far.
According to Mecklenburg County court documents, McDonough chest-bumped his neighbor, put his hands around his neck, and even tried choking him. These incidents also included several obscenity-laced tirades involving derogatory terms targeting his neighbor on March 12.
McDonough was reportedly angry about some tractor equipment that damaged his lawn. The accuser adds that McDonough has a “history of volatile behavior” and made further accusations suggesting he tried to strangle him without being provoked in the past.
Yet, McDonough’s attorney vehemently denies the accusations.
“Terry McDonough’s neighbor maliciously took a tractor and ran it across his back lawn to destroy his land. This neighbor has been a serious problem for the entire community. When Terry confronted him, the neighbor attempted to cause physical harm to Terry. Terry never touched the neighbor and left. Civil and criminal charges are now being brought against Terry’s neighbor. The claim of assault by Terry is made up by the neighbor.”

McDonough worked for the Cardinals organization for 10 seasons but has not been with the team since 2021. He is the brother of popular ESPN broadcaster Sean McDonough and the son of longtime Boston Globe reporter Will McDonough.
