Sad. Without practice in a gym, a flip outdoors usually leads to trouble. Stadium upper decks are steep.

I’m having trouble picturing this. Don’t they have high railings in the upper decks at stadiums, which would create a barrier to someone falling? Did he climb a barrier ?

Is a f#;#;! Header a common occurrence? Common enough that there is a name for it?

At age 40 he has probably already reproduced. Thus, he is ineligible.

“A fan in a tie-dye tank top told The Post, ‘I heard people going ‘ahhh’ and see people running. I said ‘bro, someone took a f—ing header.’ “

Was this her?

“I was at PNC Park some years ago when we had a giant beach ball going. Lots of fun, especially when you have a AAA team like the Pirates hosting a major league baseball team.”

I was at a concert at the philly “spectrum”, forget the band. People were throwing quarter sticks in the air over the premium seating. I was never so glad to be in the cheap seats.

“Where they selling those in the lobby?”

On the street. It was less than six months to go to the 4th, or New Year’s.

So the group that he came to the concert with now consists of the dead and company

Ah, the city of brotherly love. Nobody else makes New York fans seem mellow and polite by comparison . . .
