    Not the case here. The victim was sitting on a bar stool and Dixon went over to him, not the other way around. That's why he got 8 months.

    But the victim probably deserved it anyway, being a Nags Head punter, and being as Dixon was a good player.

    That's not far off the mark, although the football team has since been promoted to the Football League, League Two.
