As he enters the bar, he notes a group of noisy, obnoxious rival fans that have had too many drinks. Jeff asks the group to quiet down so he can hear the game. He is immediately approached by the members of the group asking if they want to make an issue of the game. Before Jeff can answer, one member of the group throws a punch. Within minutes, a full bar brawl gets ensued. Jeff ends up with a fractured skull, which results in brain damage.
