Whatever happened with that dust up a couple of months ago? That story seems to have been covered up and buried!

IMO, all parties involved just want this to go away. That includes Shady & Co., two/three cops that were involved, the bar owners and the DA.

I said in a earlier post, about 3 weeks ago, it doesn't take this long to investigate and make an arrest in a bar fight.

Nothing to see here, move along.


Btw, it seemed to me that the Mayor and McNesby were more concerned than the cops who were directly involved.

The facts of the case released were that the cops attempted to take a bottle off of Shady & Co's table. Shady didn't appreciate the blazen act and stopped it. Egos kept in check. End of story.
I read it as just the opposite of what You say are the facts.



"McCoy and three others allegedly assaulted the off-duty police officers during an argument over champagne.

A source tells Action News the police officers had ordered multiple bottles of champagne and, according to witness accounts, one of the men with McCoy grabbed a bottle out of one of the cop's hands.

That led to an argument, police said, and one of the police officers was punched and knocked to the ground."

Maybe "unofficially" Shady supplemented their future Pension.
Usually when that happens an attorney for one or both sides will make a statement alluding to that.

Also, why didn't the DA make a statement? I.e. "Both parties came to agreement and the case has been settled." They were investigating but now.......crickets.

Why has Kenney and Mc Nesby been silent when they were so vocal before? More crickets.

I heard that on the NBC world news. Neither party was prosecuted.

Just another sports figure who thinks he is above the law . My step son works at Aroogas Restaurant in Harrisburg and was there when "Shady" and company left without paying their large bill . Just another pompous punk with no manners and no regard for the hard working servers that make very little money compared to some jerk that runs around with a football .

You're right about that. No doubt he's a cheapskate. He stiffed a waiter/waitress in Philly when he played here.

What happened when he skipped out in the bill? He didn't get away with that, did he?

There is a press conference scheduled for 2:30 pm today as per the D.A. 's office.

There was a time when a bar fight occurred the cops would come, take a report and leave. The combatants would either go back to drinking (sometimes with the people they were fighting with) or go home or go to the hospital and then go home or go to the hospital and then go back to drinking but nobody would go to file charges or go to court.

Yeah DC, but that was before the advent of cell phones, Facebook, and Twitter.

Nowadays, you do anything, outside the privacy of your own home, or even sometimes within it, it is on the Internet within minutes, at 1080P with audio...

Well this was another couple cops that created their own DROPS program....., they dropped any right to file charges and their retirement fund just got a lot fatter.

If it was just a bar fight then I agree with DC, but this was a stomping match with people in extremely top physical condition.
Better believe if that fight had Mike Tyson tossing punches over a couple bottles of booze they would charge him with attempted murder.
Cant say the way this ended is a surprise.

McNesby is implying that the D.A. will get season tickets out of the deal. If he does, it will be in Buffalo.


An absurd statement if I ever heard one.

It's odd that McNesby is commenting but the guys in the fight say nothing.

True Rusty but a bar fight is a bar fight. Everybody drunk, everybody mouthing off, everybody doing and saying stuff they wouldn't do if they were sober. IMO, everybody should lick their wounds and call it a night or in this case a day.

Yogi was right. It ain't over, til its over. It seems that John McNesby, head of the FOP, wants the state AG to investigate the McCoy case.

What I don't get is why the cops involved aren't asking for this? What standing does the FOP have in this matter?

In a letter sent to Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane on Thursday, John McNesby, president of Lodge 5, ripped into Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams for not charging McCoy in the case.

McNesby called the decision, announced Monday, "an outrageous cover-up and dereliction of duty by a public official," according to a law-enforcement official who had a copy of the letter but was not authorized to discuss it.

McNesby also wrote that Williams was motivated to let the former Eagles running back go without being charged "because McCoy is a prominent professional athlete," the official said.


McNesby confirmed in an interview Friday that he sent the letter, and said, "I'm just asking [the Attorney General's Office] to take a look" at the case.

Two officers were injured in the Feb. 7 brawl at Recess Lounge, which erupted after an officer and a member of McCoy's entourage argued over a bottle of champagne.

Williams announced Monday that he would not bring charges against anyone due to conflicting statements about who started the fight.

In an interview Friday, Williams defended his decision, saying it was based purely on the evidence.

Williams also said he does not think the Attorney General's Office has jurisdiction over a bar brawl already reviewed by local prosecutors. He added that McNesby "says a lot of stuff like a pro wrestling federation wrestler just to be over the top."

Chuck Ardo, Kane's spokesman, said that the Attorney General's Office had received McNesby's letter but that no decision had been made about whether to investigate the case.

"The office is reviewing its options," Ardo said, declining to offer a timeline. "We'll make a decision once [we have] more facts to work with

Sorry to say, but if the off duty officers were white, Williams would have no problem bringing assault charges against them.

A bar fight is one thing, but once using feet became involved to me it was an assault, a weapon, especially coming from a guy who makes a living on the strength of his legs.

AG office will just kick this can down the road and Shadys agent might have to write another couple checks

Hap, same for that cop that was fired and arrested for using racial slurs. I am glad he beat it and gets his job back soon.
