Unbelievable....on the anny of Sept 11th....

OF ALL PLACES, this guy is from South Carolina....and to make it even worse he's a Cowboys fan.

They were talking about it on wnfz and Mac said the guy apparently wouldn't even stand for the 9/11 tribute and was later involved in an altercation in which the taser was revealed

Cops: Fan arrested in Taser incident

Despite added security at MetLife Stadium on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, a South Carolina man was arrested Sunday night for allegedly using an illegal stun gun in a fight with other fans during the Jets' season opener against the Cowboys, according to police.

Leroy McKelvey, 59, of Moncks Corner, S.C., was arrested by New Jersey police and charged with three counts of aggravated assault and two weapons counts.

McKelvey was taken to Bergen County Jail, where bail was set at $22,500.

New York City and surrounding areas were on high alert Sunday. Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, were at the game for Sunday night's pregame coin toss. Security at MetLife Stadium featured bomb-sniffing dogs and a heavy police presence.

According to a statement from MetLife Stadium president and CEO Mark Lamping: "On Sunday evening, a man entered the stadium with an illegal Taser the size of a small cell phone in his pocket. The Taser was later used in an altercation with fans, during which no one was seriously injured.

"The man was immediately arrested. Procedures for pat-downs established by the NFL and used at every game were in effect at all entry gates."

Ridiculous!

From another article:

The website Deadspin posted a cellphone video Monday of the fight. One fan can be heard on the video saying: “How did he get in here with that thing?”

According to the New York Daily News, the fracas began because McKelvey and his entourage didn’t stand during the national anthem. They also allegedly spoke during “Taps” and “Amazing Grace,” drawing the ire of a Marine.

Tha God said McKelvey is a Jehovah’s Witness, and doesn’t believe in standing for the anthem.

The peeved Marine in section 324 wouldn’t let McKelvey pass to use the bathroom at halftime, witnesses told the paper. That’s when they said McKelvey used the taser.

Apparently the guy's father is saying he brought it in b/c "he felt threatened"

    • Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season. 
    • Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively. 
    • Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
