Here’s how Dave described it to his friends on Facebook:
Brian Westbrook gets inducted into the Eagles HOF and I get hit directly in the face by a cheesesteak and a can of beer. Ease up on the birds on birds crime Philly. We definitely saw multiple fights between Eagles fans (save that nonsense for the away team)! Thanks for the crappy video quality Facebook.
On Twitter, Dave tells us that the cheesesteak was intended for another target– a different Eagles fan with whom the tosser was jawing:
@CrossingBroad @DJDAVIDVAUX it was two Eagles fans fighting. One threw it at the other and missed. I was wearing a Matthews jersey.

@CrossingBroad security removed the tosser by the time I realized what happened. He missed his target badly. 8/10 on the Bradford scale.

This is the most Philly thing ever.
UPDATE:
@CrossingBroad was 2 rows in front of CS thrower. Dude was in wrong section accusing stranger of taking his beer. He was beyond drunk, haha.

When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
