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

[Mace]

At least he didn't crash his truck in to a Tim Horton's, drunk.

What I want to know is why all of these tough guys were drinking champagne.

That's quite disturbing.

Made me laugh. Thought of that too, delicately holding champagne glasses then brawling with off duty cops. Maybe they were drinking out of the bottles and wiping their lips on the sleeves of their Armani's.

[Mace]

HaHaHa. Yeah, he may get charged for assault. First offense should be probation, but with his high profile it depends.

It will be up to the "victims" to press charges, but I'm sure Goodell will be outraged and suspend him after an "investigation".

The funny thing is things can get out of hand when alcohol is involved and we do not know all the details and we may never know given the nature of bar fights in general.

Glad things weren't this way when I was frequenting bars and clubs or I'd still be in jail. Police were never called, it usually just moved outside the club. You won, you lost, you went on with your life.

First couple offenses really if no one is majorly hurt. Fractured skulls, broken noses and stomping usually get a more critical analysis. Same thing back in my day, but I never stomped anyone or had anyone stomp me either. Things moved along differently back then. Different world now.

A couple of off-duty cops beat up and killed a guy I knew, Richard Long, back in '77.

I remember that, but I thought it was more than a couple.

Yes, if they went down, you didn't kick them or jump on them. You waited until they got up and if they wanted to continue.

There were rules back in the day and there was honor. You got beat, you didn't come back with a bunch of your buddies. You took your lumps and forgot about it.

[BillsImpossible]

Regardless, Shady is going to get suspended due to the NFL's conduct policy.

Now he's going to have to spend a lot of time, money and mental energy on something stupid that happened in Philly.

Get your ass back to Buffalo, LeSean, hire Paul Cambria, Jr. and stop drinking champagne.

How is the last thug RB that we whisked out of town? Probably on his way to Canton.

Sooner rather than later, too. He retired today.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is the new trend in the NFL. As we learn more about the long-term brain damage former players are suffering from, we're going to see guys like Marshawn, Megatron, Patrick Willis, etc. get out (hopefully) before it's too late.

[YardRat]

I would too, especially in a case like Marshawn.

Bank? Check.
Ring? Check.

See ya...

On the ride home from work this evening WFAN (NYC) is reporting that the Philadelphia police have issued an arrest warrant for McCoy.

Report: Arrest warrants “imminent” in LeSean McCoy incident

For most of these guys they've been playing football since they were 8 or 9. The hits you take at the pee-wee levels and in HS may not have near the force of a hit in NCAA or NFL but they do have an impact on the body health wise.

I hope 30 isn't too late, but I fear it is.

For vacation maybe.

I remember that, but I thought it was more than a couple.

Two cops - Philip Gramaglia and Gary Atti - and a "businessman Jack Giammaresi. They beat him up and left him to drown in his own blood and then went to Mulligan's on Hertel to brag and have a few more cocktails. After all, it was only 3 am.

Others were indicted but they were the only one's to get jail. They got 18 months easy for it. Not enough. A buddy and I went to see the trial one day and figured it would be boring procedural crap. Turns out the three each took the stand and confessed. It was stunning.

[trapezeus]

As bills fans who are sloppy drunk every Sunday, we shouldn't be the ones criticizing other people's drinking habits. I have no idea how many fights I see in the 2nd half of the season when the chance of making playoffs are down, opposing fans are visiting and people can't hold their low end beer well.

This is is the earliest I've seen a season go up in smoke. 4 hrs after it began.

[Bill Cody]

So maybe they got 3 bottles of Andre and a bottle of Dom and the cop grabbed the bottle of Dom to go have a lap dance at his own table. That might rate a stomping. Trying to stay positive.

I still don't get why two separate group of tough-guy dudes- football players and cops- are hanging out drinking champagne. My wife and her sister drink champagne. If it's new year's or there is some other reason to celebrate, I'll toast with a sip of champagne then it's back to rum or whiskey.

It was a celebration. Shady's a Bill now so he was celebrating finishing .500. And the cops were celebrating the force going a week without shooting an unarmed black guy.

[Ingtar33]

First of all, that McCoy hasn't been arrested yet tells me this situation looks horrible for the cops who got their backside whupped.

From what i heard this morning, it sounds like the cops started the fight and were drunk off their asses, since both parties were drunk and the first to swing was the cops this is why no charges are pending.

The point of buying champagne in a nightclub isn't because you like the taste, it's to prove to your buddies and the girls you brought that you can afford to buy bottles of champagne in a nightclub.

On the bright side, this will give him an extra four weeks to recover from training camp. Hopefully the Bills will sign more depth to cover running back.
