One day Paul and Sal spot Giants star and Pauls favorite player Quantrell Bishop Jonathan Hamm and his entourage in Staten Island. They follow Bishop to a drug deal in Stapleton.

Mustering their courage, Paul and Sal introduce themselves to Bishop. All goes well until the two fans innocently mention that they saw Bishop in Stapleton. The intoxicated Bishop becomes enraged and brutally beats Paul, who is hospitalized for his injuries.Following the incident, Bishop is suspended from the team. Pauls personalinjury lawyer brother Jeff Gino Cafarelli and NYPD Detective Velardi Matt Servitto pressure Paul to bring charges against Bishop, but Paul refuses, worried about the effect on the Giants performance if they permanently lose their star linebacker. The charges against Bishop are eventually dropped and he returns to the team. ........
