Former Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy and another ex-NFL player got into an argument with three off-duty cops over champagne in a night club that devolved into a brutal beatdown that landed two of the officers in the hospital early Sunday, according to incident reports.

The 2:45 a.m. incident, inside the Old City nightclub Recess on 2nd Street, remains under investigation. Police are seeking arrest warrants.

McCoy, now with the Buffalo Bills, former San Diego Chargers running back Curtis Brinkley and two other men allegedly assaulted the officers - including a sergeant - in a dispute over a bottle of champagne, according to police records.

The three officers had purchased four bottles of champagne shortly before the fracas. A nightclub patron tried to claim one bottle and got into a shoving match with him, leading to an all-out fight, according to the police report.

Afterward, one cop was sent to Hahnemann University Hospital with a possible skull fracture, while another ended up at Delaware County Memorial Hospital, where he was treated a broken nose, broken rib, an eye laceration and a sprained thumb, according to the report. It's unclear if McCoy, Brinkley and their friends were injured.

The nightclub where the fight occurred had surveillance cameras, but they weren't working, according to the incident reports.

Brinkley, originally from West Philadelphia, was shot and wounded in an apparent case of mistaken identity by his sister's boyfriend in July, 2009, in Cheltenham Township. Anthony Peterson Jr. is serving a seven- to 14-year term after admitting the bullets were intended for a romantic rival.

A police spokesman said the department expects to release details later this morning.

Glad he's Buffalo's problem .... local reporters here claim he was playing the race card. Somewhere Chip Kelly is laughing.

Brotherly Love will prevail if Villanova wins this game tonight.
Championship starved ... at least a 3 day moratorium on indictments.
