Is this one of the guys who assaulted Rangers fans at Geno's Steaks?
Remember that story we wrote earlier today about the handful of Flyers fans who beat up some Rangers fans in front of Geno's Steaks in South Philly after the Winter Classic? Yeah, well, the story has been on Action News already this evening, and PPD got wind of things too. They're on the lookout for suspects.
On January 2, 2012, at 7:15pm, three unknown males wearing Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys assaulted two males while at Geno's Steaks located at 1200 South 9th Street. The assault began after the Winter Classic hockey event and the male victims were wearing New York Rangers jerseys. During the altercation one of the victims were seriously injured.
We may have found the guy, and it didn't even take any detective work. He posted on the Broad Street Hockey Facebook page and said he did it.
We put all BSH stories up on our Facebook page, obviously, and it was no different earlier today when we wrote about this incident. The post garnered several comments.
Two of those comments were from a gentleman named Edward Neary.
According to his Facebook profile, Neary is a 2009 graduate of Father Judge High School. He's also attended the Community College of Philadelphia, his interests are "Money" and "An More Money," and he speaks "Black Speech" and "Brown University." His "favorite athletes" are "Seriously I Will Punch You In The Fucking Face." How lovely.
We haven't confirmed if Neary really did do this. Maybe he's just, uh... well, I don't know why anybody would say they did this if they didn't do it. We tried to add him on Facebook so we could talk with him, but he's yet to accept the request. We'll let you know if that conversation does indeed happen.
Neary accepted our friend request, but before we were able to contact him, he took it back. That's not before we were able to scour his page and find more information about him, however. We won't post the stuff that's not publicly available on Facebook, though.
UPDATE: He's backtracked a bit on Facebook since this story was published, calling out some friends and saying they did it instead. Also, his side of the story, still via the BSH Facebook comments.
Neary then dimed out three friends in the comments, saying they were part of the attack and pointing out one man in particular by saying "he started it." Neary also tagged them with links directly back to their Facebook profiles. We originally published that portion of the comments, but out of respect for the three guys who didn't insert themselves into this by choice -- whether they were involved in the assault or not is not up to us to decide -- we've removed it.
UPDATE TWO: He deleted all of the comments above and changed his Facebook picture to one that's not of himself.
We've passed this all on to the Philadelphia Police South Detective Division. They can sort it out. If you know anything else about the assault, you should probably give them a call or pass along a tip as well.

This is what drunk young men do/say whenever they’re out looking for a fight.
I’ve witnessed several incidents like these at bars or parties that have started because one or more drunk bros accused someone (who’s almost always outnumbered) of “hitting,” “grabbing,” or “disrespecting” their girl.
This is almost always bullshit. The outnumbered dude usually doesn’t even know the girl existed.

so it’s a proxy Sisko and Odo. Although I think Benson is more Jordie than Hawk from Spencer from Hire (avery brooks was the ultimate bad ass in that show)
As I recall he was, but haven’t seen it in decades. Didn’t they do a TV movie with Spencer a few years back and use someone else in the Hawk role? Seem to recall that, and the guy wasn’t good.
G, the second coming of Foppa.
Embrace the Jagr.*
I remember the movie but just the plot and at that it’s vague. Rich white college kids raped or murdered someone from the “wrong side of the tracks” type of scenario. Something like that. It invovled the Boston elite is what I remember the most.
But I loved that show and Hawk was a big part of it.
You know obscure actors as well. Wow.
It's a new season, and I'm damned excited! ecnewman on flyersfaithful.com
Wasn’t he also Odo on Deep Space Nine? That name sounds familiar.

Yes, he was Odo on DS9 (and also directed eight episodes), as well as being Clayton Endicott III on Benson, Paul Lewiston on Boston Legal, the narrator of Xiaolin Showdown, Dr. Strangesnork on The Snorks, and an uncredited role on Saturday Night Live.
Bob.
If it really was him, then he’s an idiot for confessing.
If it wasn’t, he’s still an idiot because making false statements to the police is also a crime.

LOL, now I get signaled just to organize things? It’s okay, I’m willing to do it.
We’ve (as in Travis has) collected funds twice that I can recall; once using Paypal, and the other using EventBrite. So it’s not completely foreign territory, at least.
I can put up a FanPost with a poll to see if people would be willing to contribute if we set it up. But even without waiting on a poll, setting it up fast enough to get purchased & autographed jerseys in their hands isn’t going to happen within a couple of days, there’s definitely some lead time there in just letting the money accumulate before proceeding with the other steps. So we either have to reach out (likely through a 3rd party of some sort) and make contact now with the intention that the end product will be given to them later; or do something much less expensive if we want to physically give them something really really soon.

Now that I read it again, the guy in the Callahan jersey who was knocked out is never specifically mentioned as the off duty cop, but I think it is pretty safe to infer that it is him considering the township spokesman labelled the off duty cop as someone who took a “severe beating.” And the guy in the Callahan jersey getting knocked out presumably is a “severe beating.”

I have a tough time believing any of those guys did it, but regardless, they should get nice beating in the public square. If nothing else it does not hurt to rid of the world of tainted gene pools. I’d actually be curious to know how much alcohol is to blame for violence like this—I imagine the majority of these incidences would not happen “but for” alcohol consumption.
Working at a firm last summer I met a guy who killed someone in a bar fight. Guys get those beer muscles and the inability to make rational judgments and it is no joke. I’ve also been interested in sentencing reform in regards to violent crimes vs. nonviolent, but I doubt any politicians will step up in that regard—that’s off topic, anyway.
Wow great work Travis and the rest of BSH
I guess the majority of flyers fans aren’t so bad after all.
Is hockey hard? "I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon.

Wow. Just goes to show – there are WIP-listener-types all over the country. The comments really are the most baseless crapola.
Look kiddies, I have been attending hockey games in Philly for decades. And for the first several of those decades, I have been wearing THE OTHER TEAM’S JERSEY. I proudly wore my Pens jersey to plenty of games over the years, AND went to Geno’s afterwards (among other places). I’m not 7 feet tall either – so if people were gonna pick a fight, its not like some cop would be less intimidating. Not once, NOT FUCKING ONCE, was I ever physically even touched. Yelled at, sure, but once you gave it back a bit the grins all came out. Sneered at, of course – and I say if you find a team whose fans don’t do that, that team doesn’t actually have ‘fans’. But not once is literally hundreds of occassions was I physically intimidated, assaulted, or even made uncomfortable. For those few fans who have gone to Philly sporting events and been treated poorly, I am definitely sorry and wish that the responsible parties could be hung by their toenails from Billy Penn’s outstretched arm. But for the rest of the country – most of whom have never set foot in Philadelphia – to give us such a bad rap is simply unconscionable. The degree of media-fueled hatred and disdain for Philadelphia fans is reaching levels of absurdity. Spend 10 seconds on Google searching for ‘hockey fan assaulted’, and aside from THIS story Philly doesn’t appear in the top 40 or so links. San Jose does, eternal Philly-hater Mike MIlbury sure does, Toronto, UM and BU, even Russian KHL teams … no Philly.
Give it a rest, until you bring me evidence to contradict my years of direct experience.
That said, I am definitely contributing to the fund for these two as suggested by DG when you guys get it up. One act of disgusting behavior merely reinforces the stereotype of Philly as (to paraphrase) dirty, brutish, and simple.

This sounds to me like the little cocksmoker is nervous about meeting with police. I note that suddenly his diction has increased in readability (as has his punctuation) and frankly, I’m pretty sure irony to him is something he finds in his vitamin supplement … so either he really is sub-normal IQ or he’s sweating meeting with the cops a bit.

At least the waiting period was turned back on after it was last turned off. The time earlier that this had happened was the Bob-tantrum-troll because no one had turned the wait period back on.

Good point, if they do not use their Facebook names or something otherwise obvious “BSH sucks!” or something, it’s not something you really can look for.

That how I heard of all this
Kings fan here who just had to stop by and pay homage to the awesomeness that is B.S.H. Seeing as our teams are joined at the hip I’ve been cruising your site for a while now and am always impressed by the level of discourse and high hilarity to be found in the threads (the Bryz signing thread was all-time by the way). However this episode was amazing and, without sounding too chessy I hope, restored my faith in humanity and sports fans in a big way.
It only takes a couple of morons to ruin a fanbases’ good name (see beating of Stow, Bryan) so its great to see everything you guys did in response to this nonsense. Here to seeing you in the finals and if I’m ever in Philly the first round is on me!
Shoutout to Travis on Puck Daddy:
Meanwhile, enough can’t be said about the efforts of Hughes and the Broad Street Hockey blog. The first inclination from some media was to post the video and lambaste Philadelphia fans for another black mark on their reputations. Hughes, a Flyers fan, instead wanted to bring these thugs to justice. It’s the content of their character, not the color of their hockey jersey, people …
I know guys like Wyshynski get a lot of crap from people like us, but he’s usually a pretty reasonable voice when stuff like this happens.

I have a feeling he is not one to be concerned about his future employment status. I don’t know how old he is but I can’t imagine he went to college—he was probably lucky enough to just graduate high school. It is clear his thought process is not the most refined.
It’s more unfortunate than anything because I would prefer to see the real culprits get the brunt of our attention rather than this dope who isn’t worth anyone’s time.

I was reading through the blogs here at BSH and joined it yesterday so I could comment about what a good thing your group is doing.
The caring about the incident and the responses read here show that this “idiot” is not the true representative of your fan base.
Hopefully Travis’s actions here and beneath the radar screen help catch the smuck(s) responsible for this incident.
and one more thing….How the hell did you guys lose that game…
The way this is going the Captain of the next Cup contending Islanders team is still in grade school......RESULTS DO MATTER..
It starts with ‘L’ and ends with ‘undqvist’. He had a hell of a game. We also had some defensive breakdowns that led directly to Ranger goals. That’s my two cents, anyway.
