If there's anything to this, then Bice just dropped a few points with me.
My folks used to own a bar and a couple of things come to mind. Bice would be the out of towner, the former Giants player a regular or at minimum a local and a football star to boot. So, the manager could be defending Glenn, not that Glenn necessarily did anything wrong.
The article says that Bice was tipsy, BUT, it doesn't tell us if Glenn was sober or tipsy, too.
The other article said Bice was half snockered. To me that's a bit more than tipsy. Sure, it sounds like minutae, but it could make a difference.
We don't know if Bice was joking when he said no, his name was Kevin, we don't know if Glenn asked the question in a funny tone. Bice could have been joking and referring to Kevin Covais from New York, thinking it would get a laugh.
If they were only a couple of bar stools apart, why did Glenn have to go ever to say 'sorry'? He could have just said it loud enough for Bice to hear him and then let it go.
I can't help but feel that there might be something missing from the stories, but if there is, we probably will never hear about it.
That 'alledged' punch to Glenn's chine, may have been nothing more than Bice flailing his hands or arms to get away from the manager.
The manager didn't get in between the two, to protect Glenn. who could probably more than take care of himself. The manager was protecting property. Not wanting busted glasses, ashtrays, or stools. Rule of thumb when a fight breaks out or looks like it will is 'get it outside'.
I have seen big hulks of guys literally walk right out of buttoned flannel shirts, when their shirt was grabbed from behind, just to get at their target!
Maybe Bice's people will release a statement over the next few days and we'll know more.
The whole thing seems a little weird though.
