This story first surfaced well over a week ago, but we've just been waiting for all of the insanity to keep unfolding before we reported it to you. I think it's actually more accurate to call it a saga than a story now. The mainstream media really isn't giving this as much attention as it should, so you probably haven't really heard about it unless you religiously read sports blogs like we do, and what's news to you...

Well that, and we also happen to be categorically opposed to striking while the iron's hot. We prefer the iron room temperature. Someone might get burned if that iron's too hot. Just ask Captain Safety, who coincidentally, we get 98% of our advice from. So lukewarm news for all! Let the saga begin.

It all began in Vegas on NBA All-Star weekend. Most athletes went there to play/watch the All-Star game. Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones went for the whores. It is Vegas after all, so it's hard to fault Pacman for that, except that by the weekend's end police wanted to "talk to" Pacman about a triple shooting that occurred over the weekend at the Minx Gentleman's Club. Pacman admitted to partaking in the carnal pleasures of the Minx, but denied any involvement in the shooting. Then a surveillance video from inside the club surfaced, showing Pacman punching a stripper and biting a bouncer. Why you ask?

"Susnar recounted the events leading up the shooting based upon his interviews with employees and club surveillance video. He said Jones and his entourage of a half-dozen people had been in the club earlier that night and left without causing any problems. The trouble started when they returned sometime after 4 a.m.

Jones had tossed hundreds of $1 bills on the stripper stage, an action known in street slang as "making it rain." When one of the strippers started grabbing the money without Jones' permission, he got angry, grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the stage, Susnar said.

That's when security guard Aaron Cudworth, a mixed-martial artist with professional fighting experience, intervened and stopped the assault, he said.

"At that point, Pacman said, 'I'm going to kill you,'" Susnar said.

A melee ensued as Cudworth scuffled with Jones and members of his entourage, Susnar said."

Then the fracas apparently moved outside, shots ensued, and one guy ended up paralyzed. A search warrant for the case went public, revealing further details about the case, including the fact that Pacman was hanging out with buddies Nelly and Jermaine Dupri at the Minxx. And those $1 bills in question? $81,000.00 worth.

In case I lost you or missed anything in there, here's this excellent news piece on the debacle. Key quote: Two women allegedly assaulted and three people shot, all over reports of Pacman "making it rain."



What happens in Vegas, does not stay in Vegas.

Oh, and since the whole strip club incident....Pacman is also facing felony charges in Georgia and even drug dealers are urging him to settle down. Blame it on the rain.


Much thanks to Sports by Brooks for keeping us updated on Pacman's every felonious move.
