mrags Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Not sure how this happened. Someone told me that the Ralph is the only stadium in the NFL that has this type of thing happening. http://m.nfl.com/news/0ap1000000112478/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Im suprised stadiums dont have boxes for visiting teams families Maybe they do, and there are only a limited # of seats, but I think it would be a no brainer for the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I love that "normal" people go to football games and think they have permission to act like idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direhard Fan Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It's the Lake Erie water. I have seen this type of assaults at every game in the last 20 years. It isn't just Fletchers family. His just happened to make the papers. Ban ERIE water and only carry Genesse Cream Ale and watch the change in additude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Im suprised stadiums dont have boxes for visiting teams families Maybe they do, and there are only a limited # of seats, but I think it would be a no brainer for the NFL I forget what team it is, but there is a punter in the NFL who is from the Rochester area. I was wondering why does this whole row of seats in front of us have this obscure guys name. Then they told me they were the family of said punter.........The Bills being the Bills, the poor guy never punted once the whole game! visiting families definitely sit in the crowds. ive been around several before. they tend to stand out with their obscure jerseys. when coy wire played for atlanta it was VERY easy to guess who knew him in my section, for example I started typing my reply, got a phone call, and then finished and you basically said the same thing!

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I remember sitting with Robert Royal's family at a game against the jets at the Meadowlands. 2 rows from the top of the upper deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KollegeStudnet Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I remember going to an away game where I was harassed by a drunk Colts fan while I was waiting in line to go pee...I was 10 years old 10 years ago it was the same 15 years ago it was the same 20 years ago it was the same The only thing that is different about games is that there is no smoking, more security, smart phones to text/video altercations and social media to post.

Thisistheyear Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The truth is that there were a-holes 10, 20, 30...1,000 years ago. I can imagine that the crowds at the Circus Maximus generated more than a few arrests. Jerks will always be jerks and alcohol will always increase their disregard for others exponentially.

I just looked it up. His name is Adam Podlesh. He's now with the Bears. But, he was with the Jags for 4 seasons, and this must have been the game.
