Connor was apparently minding his own business outside of his house Saturday evening when a random person punched him in the face and gave him a black eye. Details as they unfold...he's going to talk about it after next break.

Really, Beardown? I understand that you may not like the guy, but come on.

That never sounds like a made-up story.

Does this mean he officially has "punch me in the face, face"?

All shows need a call in segment where the topic is "Did host X deserve to be punched." Hard to think of a show where the answer would be "no."

3 people are listening to The Night Game? Must be ratings gold.

I assumed it happened during the night, but it happened at 9:30 AM Saturday morning. As he went outside to greet his friends, there was a crazy guy outside about 50ft away yelling and MF-ing no one in particular. Connor said to his friends "Who the fuck is this guy" and pointed back at him. Connor didn't think the guy heard or noticed, he apparently did, and ran up and punched him in the eye.

His friends did nothing and the guy ran away. I felt bad for him until he told the story. He isn't getting much sympathy from callers or texters.

They might have stumbled onto a signature segment.

I listen to podcast that does a "Is it better than a punch in the face" segment. But only about 200 people listen to that so they could easily steal it.

Poking fun at a mentally ill person on the streets? You just come off the tour bus, asshole? I'm surprised McDoink didn't try to post a picture of him to facebook first.

He's also apparently chasing discourteous motorists on his bike (bicycle...not motorcycle). What does he think he's going to do if he catches up to them? There are a lot of people out there who just don't give a fuck. He's going to get his ass kicked.

can't duck the punch of an either drunk or screwed up guy coming at you from 50 feet away?

If he started some bullshit talking with me by the drivers door, I am opening it violently and knocking his ass down. I see too many cyclists run red lights and swerve as they want thru traffic.

I always make sure to yell, "I hope you get hit by a bus!" when they do that nonsense.

Based on the story, sounds like a naive guy. We've all run into crazy people. You keep your mouth shut when you encounter one. Sounds like he was trying to be cool with his friends watching by making a "smart ass" comment. Didn't deserve to be hit. But he should have known he could have been hit if he says something. You always assume the worst in a situation like this.

Always avoid people if you can. People suck and you should always assume they are dangerous. That's Beardown's life lesson. You have your friends and family (Many of them suck and are dangerous, but at least you know them). Keep your mouth shut with everybody else and try to avoid them.

Given the details not really something to be proud of. Builds his nerd cred?

I understand them talking about it on the show, but it does seem like an odd thing for the station to promote. Immediately taking a picture of himself and posting it on Twitter doesn't really make him a sympathetic figure. Of course, explaining what happened pretty much ruined that anyway.

I want the insane person's side of the incident. The truth lies somewhere in between. I'll give him credit for confessing to a story that makes him out to be a bitch. Larry would have spun this event to make it look like he was defending a woman's honor and ten other guys kicked his ass.


PS
Checked out the Game's site. I'd like to fuck Brooke Weisbrod.

+100. Now that I'm back to taking the El every day, it's very common to see a packed train but there's always a crazy looking person with their bag next to them on an open seat. No one ever asks that person to move their bag. :lol:

You know you're a hopeless Northern Wisconsin rube when you're getting undeniably solid advice on how to function in real flesh-and-blood Chicago from Beardown.
