I got a text this morning about a rumor that LeSean McCoy got into a fight with off-duty cops last night [edit: late Saturday night-Sunday morning] in Philly. At the same time, 6 ABC assignment editor Candice Womer tweeted:

That is it. That is literally all that’s out there right now– a rumor text I got and this Tweet. Know what happened? Have video? I pay for that sort of thing.

UPDATE: 6 ABC, saying both officers were hospitalized, fleshes out the report:

It happened around 2:30 a.m. Sunday at the Recess Lounge located at 125 South 2nd Street in Old City.

It was there that McCoy, and a friend, were involved in a physical altercation with the two officers, sources said.

Sources also say that while McCoy and his friend were not arrested, they are the focus of the investigation.

Two additional things I’ve heard: It may have started over bottle service and there’s a real chance charges are forthcoming.

More updates after jump.

UPDATE 2: Dave Schratwieser from FOX Philly:

Four?

UPDATE 3: John Gonzalez reports one of the other players was Curtis Brinkley.

UPDATE 4:

UPDATE 5: Gonzo obtained the police reporter and, yep, it was over alcohol:

According to the police report, there was “a dispute over the purchase of champagne” between the men when “[Brinkley] grabbed the bottle.” That touched off an altercation, according to the report. A law enforcement official told CSNPhilly.com that two of the officers suffered broken ribs.

Congratulations to those holding odds on LeSean McCoy getting in nightclub fight over bottle service tab— you’re the big winners!

UPDATE 6: GAH!

UPDATE 7: Police are seeking arrest warrants. From Philly.com:

The 2:45 a.m. incident, inside the Old City nightclub Recess on 2nd Street, remains under investigation. Police are seeking arrest warrants.

The three officers had purchased four bottles of champagne shortly before the fracas. A nightclub patron tried to claim one bottle and got into a shoving match with him, leading to an all-out fight, according to the police report.

Cue Drew Rosenhaus.

UPDATE 8: The three officers involved were Darnell Jessie, Roland Butler and Sargent Daniel Ayers. Here’s a photo of Jessie and Ayers:
