There has been no confirmation from the Associated Press or anyone in the media. I called Guest Services at MetLife Stadium and they would only say the public relations staff would be in at 9 am tomorrow, and I could call then.

[UPDATE: Here's one report about a man hospitalized with a head injury. Not many details.]

I’ve got them at +16.5, but also have Pats at -4.5 on the same card. I’m fucked on this one.

When did this become a gossip site? People tweeting? Must be fact.

TBL didn’t claim anything as fact. He said this is what people are tweeting. It has now been confirmed that someone did indeed fall from an escalator after the game. Where is your issue with the post?
