BlueThunder wrote:Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery Leif. Thanks for the update fargo. Some here are saying this is some excuse to hate the Packers and their fans... Really? This is just some drunk criminal asshole that happened to be wearing a Packer jersey. It's the same as the fan of some other team painting all Seahawks fans as jerks because some moron Seahawk fan threw a beer on him at Qwest. Every team has asshole fans. Just a fact of humanity. Anyways, looking forward to seeing you post again BFS! Take care buddy. Bill

Holy overly-literal interpretation and flat out missing the joke. Guess it's not an internet msg board, without someone taking innocent comments entirely out of context and getting all unnecessarily sanctimonious. lol.

Of course it's just one guy! Who the hell would say otherwise? (That is unless you're jumped by a gang of Raiders fans. Bit diff. ) Still wouldn't mean I wouldn't associate what happened with me with the clothes the guy was wearing at the time. If I were stabbed by a guy decked out in Ferrari gear, guess what? I'd probably forever remember this fact forever every time I see that logo. And I can end up hating Ferrari's without hating those who drive them. Does that mean we're talking entire fan bases and people? Hell no! Come on now.

Sorry to take away the focus of this "GET WELL LEIF" thread. Let's get it back on track. Dude, that scar is crazy man. Yikes! I take it's as gnarly as it is due to the docs having to open you up. But that doesn't make it any less scary. That is one serious beauty mark. One the bright side, if anyone on this board can pull it off and turn it into a chick magnet, it's you. If Dom or myself got something like that, it'd just scare them away. lol. Again my man, take care of yourself. Get better.

I've been lurking these boards for just about ever, and always enjoy your posts - Best wishes on a speedy recovery, Mr. FightStory. It takes balls and a good heart to break up a fight among strangers, and a mind-numbing level of cowardice to pull a knife on the peace-keeper.

When justice runs it's course, at this time next year you'll be enjoying the hell out of life, and, despite his weepy objections, this clown will be having his poo stabbed.

Dang, I leave town for 5 days and this happens! Hang in there BFS. Maybe the Hawks will get a win for ya this week.

You're back. Way to not die.

Wow, that's scary. Really makes me want to consider not being such a richard head after games.

Whoa. You're famous!

Welcome back bro.

yeah, there are multiple articles popping up on the internet and on the radio that are just plain inaccurate. some have said Leif was a Packers fan and this Hinderacker douche stabbed him. just terrible terrible reporting. i would love to respond to every one of them.

Whoa. This is all over the news. Just did a google search for "Packer fan stab" and got a whole bunch of articles. Including one with a pic of the scum bag. Damn. At least the fool seems he's going to get what's coming to him.

And yeah on the misreporting going on. From two seperate reports:

http://www.twincities.com/allheadlines/ci_13516369

The Seahawks fan left the restaurant but was followed by Hinderaker, who was wearing a Packers t-shirt.

http://www.startribune.com/local/637227 ... aec8O7EyUr

According to criminal assault charges filed Wednesday, Ryan Hinderaker, 30, "bickered back and forth" in the restaurant with a 41-year-old man about the game. Police said Hinderaker was wearing a Packers T-shirt. After the game, the man followed Hinderaker outside to confront him about his behavior. Hinderaker then pulled a knife out of his pants pocket and stabbed the man in the stomach, the charges said.

I'm gonna go against what the Star Tribune says, as they didn't even realize that Leif was a Seahawks fan, nor that he wasn't the one the dude was fighting with inside.

The Tribune also goes on to say that the stabber dude was the one to call 911, as if he was some kind of hero. Really? Not saying he didn't. I don't know the details. But the way they reported it seems really lame to me.

Seatown81 - exactly! the Star Tribune and WCCO articles are just plain terrible reporting. i'm surprised the WCCO article actually identifies Leif by name.

Hey, hey! Good to see ya posting again.

I thought you were a hottie before, but with the new scar.......steammmmmmm!!!! You are mannnnnn!

With a name like Leif you must have some viking strength in ya...I'd be worried for you but I'm guessing your gut punched out the knife From one Scandanavian to another, get well soon!

Oh, and by the way, you're famous!

I elect we change BFS' title to "Guts of Steel". His story, while tragic in its own right, is the source of urban legend.

Mugshot up on some sites.

Ryan Hinderaker

In the movie version of bestfightstory's life the psychotic Packers fan should be played by Guy Pearce:



BFS, so glad to see you back! I hope you're feeling better every day and getting spoiled by the nurses, docs and pharmacists.

Nice haircut, seriously what a little b@#%*

get well man, tragic

Thank you all, very much. I am so appreciative of all the love and support I have received from my family and friends and co-workers. It has been overwhelming and I am grateful for every word and gesture.

I am still in much pain and discomfort and I am weakened from not eating since Monday, so I wont be around much to answer questions.

Some of what you have found in the media reports is not accurate. I stand behind everything I did on that evening.

Thank you all again.

Oh. man.... bestfightstory.

I seriously hope you have a quick recovery. So sorry to hear that some people take the NFL so seriously they have to HURT people over it.

Hang in there. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Great to see you tapping the keys again Leif. You gave us all a scare there! You have now become a Net legend. Hope your recovery is speedy... Bill

Hang in there man. We're proud of what you did.

What the Hell did I ever Do?

It's a little scary just how appropriate BFS's signature now is.

Dom, you better be careful. Beware the curse of DJTOY!

I don't know what all has been said here and my reading comprehension and attention span are down, but it seems that i was very evry very lucky. Many internal organs are potential ltargets in the area I was stuck. My lower intestines were "nicked" twice, but fortunately they were not puncturing wounds, else I'd have likely suffered septic poisoning. Currently, they are waiting for my intestines to function normally.

Hang in there. You are in our thoughts.

I know we don't get along much, at all really, but I am truly happy you are okay and came out of this without any serious health concerns. Get well soon.

Someone needs to forward this story on to the Seahawks brass -- I sense a 12th man flag raising in the future.

That's what ya get when you bring a stomach to a knife fight...

I still would like to know why this jackass isn't up for attempted murder charges?

BFS is a Seahawks fan .... NHI (no human involved) ... smile ....

Just got in and read about this; get well BFS. Trying to break up a fight eh? One of my favorite quotes is from Mark Twain, "No good deed goes unpunished". Hope you'll be up and around asap.

PlinytheCenter wrote:Just got in and read about this; get well BFS. Trying to break up a fight eh? One of my favorite quotes is from Mark Twain, "No good deed goes unpunished". Hope you'll be up and around asap.

A quote used by me virtually everyday at work.

And BFS remember it please as its sadly true. Maybe that needs to be our new slogan.

BFS,
Get better. I have been following the story here in Minneapolis.
Even had a few friends call thinking it might be me, when the story broke.
I hope your recovery is quick.

Take care

I have been granted a premature release for hard work and good behavior. Still plenty of pain to sort and suffer through, but it will be nice to be back in the town where I grew up and watching the Hawks with my bro, dad and ma.

On a side note; I received a request from a producer of the Mitch in the morning show to come on and do an interview on Seattle radio next week. Haven't yet responded.

Thank you very very much to those who sent prayers and/or kind words/thoughts. They were invaluable.

Keep up the good work and don't push yourself too hard!

Go do the Mitch in the Morning show. They need someone with a brain and no expression issues.

You should totally do the radio show. First step in getting to raise the 12th man flag!

Do it!!! Raising the flag would be supper cool.

Aros wrote:I still would like to know why this jackass isn't up for attempted murder charges?

East Coast bias?????

I hope this guy is being routinely, ummmm nevermind. I just realized this isnt the shack!!!!

Get well soon BFS

I'm glad to hear you are doing well.

I agree that you should do the radio show. Some good may come out of an awful situation.

The other upside to going on the radio is you'd get to tell the true story. Just like with how there was media misinformation, I've read on a few different places where people were saying ignorant crap like, "people don't get stabbed for no reason".

But I could also very much understand if you didn't want to have anything to do with anything else regarding this terrible ordeal.

Still, I think you should go on. Tell your story of why your a Hawk fan outside of Seattle, and about all the trips you've made to see the team play over the years. And then tell them that it's your dream to raise the 12th man flag. How cool would it be to have a real, true blue die hard rais it as opposed to more mountain climbers.

Leif, if you say yes and go on Mitch in the Morning, you gotta mention Seahawks.NET by name. If you do, I'll send you something nice from the pro shop!!

Rep the community so it's not just KJR getting something out of the deal!

You also have to do a shout out.. To: RockHawk, TechWorlds, Riley12, PEHAwk, Lymonhawk, KINGGRUMPY, Largent80, Yaktown, Etc! haha...

Yeppers, Sando blogged about it.

And the perp looks like Damian from the West Memphis Three.

You attention whore!

j/k - the 12th man will bring home a victory for you today, BFS!
