Sister: Deadly shooting was over 'Bama loss
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A woman charged with killing a fellow Alabama fan after the end of last weekend's Iron Bowl football game was angry that the victim and others didn't seem upset over the Crimson Tide's loss to archrival Auburn, said the sister of the slain woman.
Adrian Laroze Briskey, 28, was charged Monday with murder in the killing of 36-year-old Michelle Shepherd.
Hoover police Capt. Jim Coker said both Birmingham women were Alabama fans and at the same party for the annual game between interstate rivals. With no time left on the clock, Auburn returned a missed Crimson Tide field goal more than 100 yards for a 34-28 victory, dashing any hopes of Alabama playing for a third straight national championship.
The victim's sister, Nekesa Shepherd, said she witnessed the killing and had no doubt it was about football, even though it was unclear to investigators whether the violence was motivated by the game.
"That's one of the things we are investigating," Coker said Monday.
Nekesa Shepherd said Briskey flew into a rage when she saw the sisters and others joking that the Crimson Tide's loss wasn't as bad as if the NBA's Miami Heat had lost a game.
"She said we weren't real Alabama fans because it didn't bother us that they lost. And then she started shooting," Shepherd told The Associated Press.
Shepherd said she and her sister were invited to the party by a mutual friend who also invited Briskey. About two dozen people were on hand.
Shepherd, the mother of three, was shot to death in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover and the women did not know each other before the party, Coker said.
Court records were not available to show whether Briskey has a lawyer. She has only had a couple of speeding tickets in the past, records show.
Coker said alcohol might have been involved, but investigators are awaiting the results of toxicology tests to make a determination.
Shepherd said Briskey drank multiple shots of liquor during the game and "went crazy" when she heard people joking after 'Bama lost.
"It was over a football game," said Shepherd. "I'm never going to forget it because she died in my arms."

And again... Alcohol flows freely EVERYWHERE... And marajuana is illegal almost everywhere.
Never heard of someone smoking a few and then killing people in car accidents, or fights or anger from pot...
Them damn old outdated laws strike again.
And what's funny is the alcohol is an afterthought. They may have been drunk... You think??
Keep it classy sports fans.0 -

As we speak the headline on ESPN.com is "Fans hail hurt Schaub's exit". So no, it is not the national media only acting like these type of things only happen in Philadelphia, it is Philadelphia fans perpetuating the stereotype by crying about it every time something happens somewhere else in the country.
San Francisco has recently been labeled has having major security issues. Brian Stow got plenty of attention for well over a year. Yankees fans still get shit about "spitting" on Cliff Lee's wife. There have been stories everywhere about idiot fans. So stop crying about Philadelphia (Philadelphia in general, not you specifically) when something like this happens. It has nothing to do with you. I bet if this city dropped the put upon act, you'd see a lot less attention to the nonsense that happens here.
Dude, I'm from philly and I agree with this wholeheartedly. Especially eagles fans who are the worst group of sports fans on the planet. They act like animals then play the victim after they do stupid shit (which happens all the fucking time because most of them are uneducated neanderthals wearing shit like kevin turner jerseys)
Yes, sports fans do dumb shit everywhere. It just happens way more frequently in philly than it does anywhere else. The Philly Sports Fan Stereotype is well earned and deserved.
Weird that this story was omitted from this thread....(btw, most eagle fans are happy about this reputation...they're 99% ass hole)
December 11, 2013
PHILADELPHIA A Michigan native who has lived in Philadelphia for two years says he was harassed and beaten unconscious by a group of Eagles fans outside Lincoln Financial Field after the Eagles' 34-20 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
The 33-year-old Center City business owner, who spoke on condition that he not be identified, said a half-dozen men in Eagles gear targeted him - first with snowballs and other projectiles, then with fists and kicks - because of his Lions jersey and ball cap.
The man, who lives in Bella Vista with his fiancee, said he was treated at a hospital Monday for a concussion and minor injuries. He said doctors also examined him for internal injuries after he urinated blood Sunday.
Capt. Laurence Nodiff, commander of South Detectives, said detectives took the man's statement Monday morning and were searching for surveillance footage that might have captured the alleged beating.
"These despicable attacks on fans who are rooting for other teams is something we don't take lightly, and we're not going to tolerate it," Nodiff said.
The alleged attack occurred around 4:30 p.m., as the man walked to the SEPTA station at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue to catch a train home. He gave this account:
As he walked along Pattison near the Xfinity Live complex, a group of men in their 20s in Eagles jerseys began shouting and throwing snowballs at him.
"I tried to keep my head down and avoid them," he said. "I didn't want to give them the satisfaction."
As he crossed the street, heading toward the train, six of the men blocked his path and continued to scream at him.
"I was like, 'Are you guys serious? You won, enjoy it.' "
The smallest man slapped his head from the side. Another man then pushed him from behind, and the group bum-rushed him, he said.
To defend himself, he threw a punch and brought one of his attackers to the ground. But then he felt punches to the back of his head, he said: "I felt like I was being choked and punched."
That's when he lost consciousness, he said.
When he came to, sore and bruised, another Eagles fan was standing over him, offering help, he said. "He stayed with me and walked me toward SEPTA."
The man remembered the Good Samaritan being so disgusted over what he had witnessed that he took off his Eagles jersey and threw it in a trash can.
"He said he was tired of these Eagles fans and the way they are," the man said.
Nodiff said investigators had sparse descriptions of the attackers: white men in their 20s wearing Eagles jerseys. He asked any witnesses to call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.
The man said the Barry Sanders jersey his fiancee had brought him made him a target for abuse during the entire game.
His first-row seats behind the Eagles bench were no refuge, he said, with fans throwing snowballs and other things at him all afternoon.
A friend who accompanied him to the game left early, he said.
He said he tries not to judge a city by the actions of its sports fans. But days like Sunday make it difficult, he said.
"I am a loyal fan," he said of the Lions. "I travel all over for games, and my worst experiences are with people here in Philadelphia."0 -
...and the hits just keep coming. 3 people were stabbed in the parking lot after the chargers/broncos game.

3 stabbed in fight after Broncos-Chargers game
December 13, 2013, 12:51 a.m.
DENVER — At least three people were stabbed in a parking lot at Sports Authority Stadium Field at Mile High after the Denver Broncos' game Thursday night.
Police spokesman Steve Warneke said three males were stabbed, and a fourth may have been stabbed, but that person left the scene.
Police have several people in custody and are not looking for other suspects. None had been formally charged as of just after midnight.
Police say the incident was called in at 9:55 p.m.
Warneke described the scene as “very chaotic” and said police don't know what led up to the fight. He said police did not know whether the men had attended the game.
The Denver Post reports there were multiple witnesses.
Warneke said one person was initially in critical condition, but all are conscious and talking
Stadium Management Co. issued an email stating that it is working with authorities.
The Broncos lost 27-20 to the San Diego Chargers.
The stabbing Thursday is just one of several recent incidents involving football fans.
Earlier this month in Kansas City, Mo., a man died after an altercation in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot during Kansas City's game against Denver.
In September in San Francisco, a teenage fan suffered a concussion and a broken arm and nose at Candlestick Park after police say he was attacked during the 49ers' game against Indianapolis.

Fixer while I generally agree with you about Eagles fans when I read this story in the Inquirer last week I didn't believe it for a second. at 4:30 after a game that intersection is teaming with people and cops. and there is only one witness? and of course that guy threw his jersey away after seeing the incident? and who gets on the subway after getting knocked out? story just seems to easily put together. sorry I didn't believe this story the second I read it and still don't.
here is a story on grantland from this week about 2 guys dying on the same day at a Bills game. while not definitely done at the hands of other fans the behavior in the tailgating this guy writes about is why I don't understand why people even go to NFL games anymore.

Crazed Fantasy Football Fans Threaten Violence, ‘Four Bullets For Each Of You Bit****’www.myspace.com0 -
Skins Fan In "Dallas Sucks" Shirt Thrown Down Stairs
http://deadspin.com/skins-fan-in-dallas ... 1488256975
A source who was sitting behind the situation believes that the Skins fan was shoved. Skins fan and a friend had been "cussing and yelling" at the Cowboys, and according to the source, they were clearly drunk. A family of Dallas fans—including a 10-year-old girl—was sitting in the row in front of the Skins fan and his friend. The Skins fan and friend were told multiple times to calm down, and they did for a few minutes, but would go back to being loud. Eventually, the two security guards seen in the Vine confronted the Skins fan and friend, waited for police to arrive, and escorted them both out of the upper level.
That wasn't the end of it, though. About half an hour later, according to our source, the Skins fan and his friend came back, high-fiving fans as they walked back up to their seats, also promising (to nearby fans) that they wouldn't act up again.
Roughly five minutes later, the security guard and his partner spotted them and came up to their row. The Skins fan and his friend were three or four people deep into the row, and the security guards made them get out. One security guard—who was described as "irate" by our source, and was the one who eventually pushed the Skins fan down the stairs—yelled, "You come here now," repeatedly. After the other people left the row, the irate security guard started shoving Skins fan to get him out of the aisle. The Vine above takes place when they got to the end of the aisle. The balding security guard was the calmer of the two; the hand seen on the left side is the irate security guard who shoved the Skins fan, causing him to fall down the stairs. Our source says that the Skins fan got up at the bottom of the stairs under his own power, but reiterated that the Skins fan seemed to be very drunk, so his tolerance for pain could have been much higher.
Our source also sent along some photos confirming he/she was there. He/she did not photograph the second incident, but captured photos of police escorting the Skins fan out in the first incident.www.myspace.com0 -
