Shady to be in trouble.......

[alnilla]

Sources tell Action News that two off-duty Philadelphia police officers were assaulted by former Eagles player LeSean McCoy. Both officers were hospitalized as a result of the incident. It happened around 2:30 a.m. Sunday at the Recess Lounge located at 125 South 2nd Street in Old City. It was there that McCoy, and a friend, were involved in a physical altercation with the two officers, sources said. Sources also say that while McCoy and his friend were not arrested, they are the focus of the investigation. A police report was made at the time the incident took place, those sources added. Action News has reached out to McCoy’s agent for comment.

Multiple Sites reporting same stuff.......


Good way to start the offseason.......

Great...

I'd like to know what happened, though.

[EDS]

Shady indeed. Dude is a hot mess off the field.

"McCoy, along with former NFL running back Curtis Brinkley, had "a dispute over the purchase of champagne," and "[Brinkley] grabbed the bottle," which touched off the altercation at an Old City nightclub, according to reports.

A law enforcement official told CSNPhilly.com that two of the officers suffered broken ribs."

I wonder if McCoy knew they were cops, or who the real asswholes were, or if this report is accurate. At any rate, this is not not a smart situation to be in at the very least. The guy makes too much money and has too much to lose to get in a mess over a small purchase...

More details...

The report states that officers Darnell Jessie, Roland Butler and Sergeant Daniel Ayers purchased four bottles of champagne that evening. When Butler “moved to another location with his bottle,” former Pitt football player Tamarcus Porter “approached him and tried to pull the bottle from his hand.” According to the report, “an argument ensued as to the ownership of the bottle,” at which point McCoy, Brinkley and Christopher Henderson “assisted [Porter].” During the ensuing altercation, according to the report, Butler was knocked to the ground and “punched, kicked and stomped about his body and head multiple times.”

A law enforcement official told CSNPhilly.com that two of the officers suffered broken ribs. According to the report, Butler transported himself to Delaware County Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for a laceration to his right eye, a broken nose, broken ribs and a sprained thumb. Jessie was admitted to Hahnemann Hospital where he received stitches over his left eye and treatment for a possible skull fracture.

Video surveillance from outside showed both parties being ejected from the club, according to the report. A camera inside the club where the incident occurred “was not functional.”

This is why you avoid signing punks.

Void his contract for breaking the law and outright cut him.

Zero tolerance for this garbage. This team already is a laughing stock. We don't need a criminal on our roster...plus we can use the cap space.

Adios!

Oh please. This is thuggish behavior and he should be punished for it, but many players have done things far worse than getting in a bar fight. If we start cutting or refusing to sign anyone who's been in a bar fight or done something worse, well first we won't find many guys to sign. Second, even guys who haven't been in trouble before won't sign here because they'll be afraid of getting cut if they **** up.

We're a football team, not the morality police.

Or, at the very least, wait and see if he's charged with anything, and if so, what the evidence is.

And the police officer piece makes it sound worse than it is. They were off duty in plain clothes in a bar. The football players didn't know they were cops.

A bottle of bubbly seems like a great reason to fight !!

Sarcasm off


Stupid, just very stupid from Shady.

We can cut him if we want, but we can't just void the deal.

If only they had "punched, kicked and stomped" civilians. Good job, Shady. Swell fella!

If this franchise had a spine they would cut him (IF he is guilty).

We are a laughing stock to the entire country thanks to our 16 year playoff drought. We have a coach who is a loud mouth loser, who can't keep his players under control...yet he talks like he is a perennial Super Bowl champion.

Add a thug criminal who was stomping on a human being (who turned out to be a cop) over a bottle of champagne to this? Spare me.

F McCoy...cut him. This franchise is a ****** joke.

Yeah this seems a little suspect to me. If Shady hasn't been arrested already that suggests that there's something less than a smoking gun. My guess is there are two sides to the story and the investigators aren't exactly blown away by the off duty cops' version.

It's probably a sad commentary on the overall state of NFL player conduct, but this kind of thing bothers me less than most off-field incidents. A bar fight with off-duty cops isn't exactly like beating your girlfriend or your four-year-old. Dumbass move, but not morally shocking.

You guys really want to cut Shady over a bar fight? Give me a break.

If he's arrested, this is a two-game suspension, tops. We didn't even fire the assistant OL coach that punched a teenager over a beach chair, and you think we're going to cut our superstar running back?

If he's not arrested, this goes away.

Depending of his level of involvement and what the full story is, if he's arrested he could go to jail. Assault is not just something to scoff at, and I'm not saying cut him, but we need to have a lot more details come forward before we assume much of anything.

Sure wish we had a superstar running back. Oh, you mean the guy who had 895 yards and 3 td's for 5.5 million in cap ? Oh yeah, he's a superstar all right. Used to be. In Philadelphia.
