Is it conceivable that someone would sit up near stage in a strip club and toss money at the dancers under the assumption that he could just take it back? I'm going to go out on a limb and assume this was not Pacman's first time in a strip club. Eventually the club bouncers somehow managed to get these clowns hustled out the door, but one of the entourage came back in and started firing shots, hitting an innocent patron and crippling one of the bouncers.
Pacman's response to his astounding record:
"Everybody keeps saying I've been arrested six times. I haven't been arrested six times. I've only been arrested twice. I've been accused and people have put warrants out on me numerous other times, but as of today I'm on no probation, I haven't been charged with anything, so I'm just keeping my head up and making sure I'm doing everything to make sure I'm alright with myself."Actually, charges have been pressed and lawsuits will no doubt fly. Pacman will naturally explain that he had nothing to do with anything and he just happened to be in the wrong place with the wrong people, just like all the other times. It may work, given the burdens of proof in a courtroom setting. Or he may be able to buy off enough people to avoid prosecution. What he can't do is play that game with the NFL, which is above the law, or rather, only bound by the collective bargaining agreement, which allows Roger Goodell to suspend players for extreme dirtbaggery. So Pacman will be sitting out the year on suspension and will wisely spend his time performing good, honest, and noble acts in an effort to show contrition for his past misdeeds. Specifically, he’s going to be a professional wrestler.
No kidding. He signed up to be a professional wrestler and stated that his goal is to win the World Tag Team championship, to show what a team player he is. The Tennessee Titans, who have Pacman under contract, thought otherwise and suggested wrestling would violate Pacman’s contract. Pacman's response:
"In the contract, nothing could possibly stop anything unless you get hurt. I don't even look at getting hurt. That is not a worry of mine.''Um, no. The contract forbids you from involvement in activities that might get you hurt. Not quite the same thing. But we all know folks like Pacman. He gets an idea in his alleged mind that he wants to be a wrestler, so when presented with the facts that would conflict with that, Pacman just makes up a story that covers him and declares it to be true.

Ah! Welcome back Mr. Mazzotta.
I full anticipate predicting every single game, every single week this NFL season, for the third year in a row. My goal this year is to thrash Theismann so badly in the weekly picks that he retires from ESPN with a compound fracture to his manhood. Also, I want to make Merril Hoge cry on live national television.
I'm somewhat unsure which of these goals is more realistic.

One can only hope that Vick is subject to the same treatment to which he subjected those poor dogs...fighting to the death, electrocution, rape stands, starvation, chaining, maiming. And if he ever plays again and loses? Just like what he did to his dogs, may NFL fans raise his body above their heads and slam him to the ground, ending his life.
Even that would be too good for him.

I'm holding out for the news that there's a third Vick brother, and he's a med student or something.
The advent of Mazzotta means the football season is near. [Single tear]

Poor Joe is still wandering around in a daze about being booted from the Monday night booth, now RJ is out to finish him. He'll be wishing he for the good old days of Lawrence Taylor bearing down on him after this.

Well see how wrong you were, this thing with Michael Vick was more than just a misdemeanor. So could you have been wrong about anything else in this article and others you write.
