Tennessee Titans cornerback Pacman Jones has a real skill for getting into trouble. Or maybe trouble just has a real skill at finding Pacman Jones.
Who knows? The details are still a bit murky, but it looks like Jones was at a
Las Vegas strip club called Minxx late Sunday night/early Monday morning when a triple-shooting occurred.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Jones may be a suspect.
Here is an account of what went down in the club via Sports by Brooks:
Cofield said Jones, accompanied by a large posse, entered the club late Sunday night with a "Glad Bag" full of dollar bills, and soon began throwing the money at the dancers ("making it rain"). Rappers Nelly and Jermaine Dupri were also at the club, and were throwing money at the dancers from "blocks of singles".
Two of the strippers allegedly began to fight over the cash, and in part because of that confusion, the club owners turned on the lights in an effort to get all the patrons to exit the club.
Cofield noted that after Jones and his group left the club, there were allegedly multiple gunshots from automatic weapons coming from Jones' entourage, resulting in two bouncers being shot (both are in critical condition) and a woman also getting hit with the gunfire (condition unknown).
On the upside, Pac Man Jones didn't spit on anyone. And based on his past club incidents (he's a saliva enthusiast), one can say that no spitting is a positive note to report (of course, not considering the fact that people were, um, shot).
Jones told his attorney Monday night that he didn't have anything to do with the shooting.
"I asked him: 'Was anybody in your group involved in the shooting? And he said, "No,'' attorney Worrick Robinson said. "I said, "Then why did you leave? He said, "When there's guns there's always someone else coming with a gun. That's what you do. You get out of there.
If you really think about it, that statement actually makes a lot of sense.
Bullets flying ... you running. Only an idiot would stick around to say "Hmmm, I wonder what's going on over there?"
UPDATE: Sports by Brooks is reporting that Pacman is caught on the club's surveillance video punching a stripper, biting a bouncer, and telling his friends to "smoke his ass" just before people were shot at the club.
Yeah ... that's not a good look for you, playa.

Sparks,
please increase the rarity with which you post your sad little twisted thoughts "on forums such as these." The rarity I'd suggest would be one day less frequently than never. Or how about waiting infinity, minus an hour? Apply your pseudo-intellect to that. Hopefully it will keep you busy enough to spare us your self-hating vitriol.

Well I see Pac as well few other cats in the NFL are starting to get into dem gats. But here's a thought family. All of these shootings seem to be going down at the strip club... Money, alcohol, and last but definatly not least ass. No doubt these ball players are getting dumber by the million... but when are we going to aim more ridicule at all of the sistas out there using thier bodies to get money. All I'm saying is all those celeberties were there for one reason and one reason only, to look at ass. Not to be role models not to think about the children and certainly not give back to the school systems that valued their ability to run a football over their ability to read and write. Looks like we are now face to face with our women now being glorified for sex and porn and nothing else. Why aren't of them in court? I dunno just a thought. More than one party seems to be at fault. I hope those bouncers and the sista live to make better employment decisions in the future.

Although sparksfly had a few valid points, his racist, garbage brain will stop his progress eventually. If the man, or any other person wants to go to a nightclub, there is nothing wrong with that. Violence is everywhere, no matter where you go. Those kids in Columbine, that shot and killed other kids, IN SCHOOL, are the perfect example. So sparks, go fuck off, write your dumb ass book, and crawl into a hole. Maybe on a golf course somewhere, you tiny, insignificant, want to be moral barometer of mankind. Look at the U.S., movies, video games, violence everywhere. If you really want to do something about this crap, start with the head of the country. Make sure you speak the way you write, and see how far you get. People talk about this sparks is intelligent, bull. I guess racism is here to stay. Fine. You all will be the minority soon enough. To top it all off, the guy was not arrested or charged with anything, but already, he's being judged. Stop HATIN'. Kids of all color, see, hear, read and live that too. So what kind of role model are you?.........Amen

Huh... Interesting debate going on here. I also thought Sparksfly was some dumbass cracker with a few valid points... I mean quoting Marge Schott and throwing out the "monkey bomb" very deceptive Sparksfly, very deceptive.
Yes, living your life through a rap song is idiotic, especially a rap song put out after the mid 90's, but so it goes... so it goes.
As for everyone in denial about "Pacman" Jones' role in all this you're either naive, uninformed, a moron, or so tired of mainstream media giving representations of young black men as uneducated and violent that you refuse to believe anything reported anywhere, even if it is most likely true, when they get it right.
"Pacman" Jones is not a victim of racial profiling. He is a violent, insecure woman beater. As for the writer who suggested a woman will settle him down, I suggest you offer him your daughter, or sister, or cousin... then you can be terribly surprised when he beats the fuck out of her.
