Does anyone know where this happened?

The commentators mentioned this last night during the game, and I think they said Main Street, although I may have just assumed that. Their story did not quite make sense to me because there really is no McDs in Manayunk. The story at the link above mentioned he treated the guy to a meal by giving him money. That is just a nice way of saying he got held up for money!

Wow.

Nice save, Lou.

If true, he probably went to the McD's on City Ave. The players are familiar with that area as they practice at PCOM / St. Joes.

Guy's a total liar. He stole the basic story from here, which made the rounds of the interwebs (again) a few weeks back. The original 2008 story, by the way, appears to be true, though (at least according to snopes.com):
