Publicity stunt. Wonder if he's been to court yet? Anybody know?

How did Howard (or did he even?) address this situation on the air? Hope he did as MicMan suggests above.
If, as I read elsewhere, only FMQB and Orbitcast picked up the story, it was a hoax for certain (seems like FMQB is not at all Sat-friendly lately).
I've not heard or seen anything on SFn about any law enforcement involvement. I'm sure the 'detectives' at SFn would post any arrest info of the "attacker" (public record?).
I listened to the O&A 'show' the next day and was treated to some schoolyard goofyness where they claimed "victory" over Howard and his 'crazed' fans...

| I honestly don't remember hearing or seeing (checked MarksFriggin) him mention it. Just as well... |

Howard never mentioned it. When O&A came back onto terrestrial, Howard said he didn't care anymore, he wasn't into ratings anymore, and would not engage in any of it.

Found at Sirius Backstage, no blog link provided...

Ben Sparks, producer for Opie and Anthony's radio show, was suspended after the incident where a Stern fan interrupted the walk over to XM studios. It turns out Ben initiated the contact with the fans and hit him first, prompting the suspention. There is speculation that he has now been fired. It is unconfirmed however his name is off oa.com and its off the 92.3 Free FM page
Today's show was a best of, nobody has spoken pubically about it yet.
Nobody ever spoke of his suspension on the show. It was never indicated that Ben initiated the contact on the show and in the clip you can hear them grab the fan and berate him for attacking Ben. |

But, but, they're the most honest show on the air! Just ask 'em?! 
I've read varying reports regarding initiation of the 'scuffle'. I'll post when I see something believable. I'm eager to see them crash & burn... |

The buzz at SFn lately, with no real facts persented yet, is that Ben did initiate the 'scuffle', resulting in his suspension/firing.
I like your "Army", Viking Kitty...
